Straighten Up!

We have a bookcase in the dining room.  In fact we have a total of eight bookcases in our home. It's the dining room bookcase that I see the most often and it is also the messiest.  If we don't know where to put something we just shove put it there. It also has the least amount of books!

Here she be.  Please excuse the quality of the pic, there are two windows right to the left of the bookcase.  It took more time to clean up those shelves than I thought it would.  I filled the dining room table with junk: magazines, useless odd bits of paper and miscellaneous tat.

Et voila!  I actually tidied it up and cleaned off the dining room table.  This is a big deal for me as I tend to be a wee bit messy.
Oh by the way, remember I thought about posting a broken item of the week?  Do you see those two vases on the top of the bookcase?

The one on the left has a great big chunk out of the back of it.  That vase has known my husband longer than I have so I'm afraid it's staying.  Wish me luck on tidying up the Shelves in the living room.  It would be number two on the messy bookcase list.  I'm really expert at procrastinating though so it might be a while!
