Hello! Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.
1. What will we find on top of your refrigerator?
You'll find extra large boxes of dry cereal, mostly Honey Nut Cheerios and Weetabix, sometimes Bran Flakes. I also keep a ready supply of paper towels and cleaning rags in a plastic cleaning caddy. These rags are more for shining the kitchen appliances, windows and mirrors. The heavy duty cleaning rags are kept somewhere else.
2. What will we find on your nightstand?
I don't have a nightstand. Neither does my husband. He uses a wicker basket with a flat top cover. He doesn't keep anything there except a small flashlight in case he needs to use the washroom during the night. I use a corner of my dresser. I keep distilled water for the CPAP machine, water for drinking, the CPAP machine & a remote control for the bed. If I'm having difficulty sleeping I might raise the head of the bed during the night. I try not to do that because it wakes my husband.
3. What is in your purse or handbag?
In the inner pocket of my cross body bag, I have hand wipes, a wallet & change purse, small spray hand sanitizers, a notebook, pen and my passport. In the small front pocket, I have numerous lip glosses and sometimes a small room spray. I do try to keep the latter on hand because sometimes public washrooms aren't that fresh.
4. What will we find on your coffee table or side tables? How about your kitchen or dining table?
I don't have a coffee table because we have an ottoman for resting our feet. I do keep a large tray in the centre of the sofa and keep a variety of items in it: kleenix, clean dishtowels/paper towels, hair clips, a small flashlight, scissors and the remote control. On the side table I keep the landline telephone, a variety of stationery items, odds and ends & my daily bread (bible scripture cards).
Try as I might, my dining table is not used much for dining these days. It holds various stages of 'in progress' items like paperwork, household tasks or creative projects or sometimes all three! Once I complete the seemingly never ending decluttering project, the dining table will be used more regularly for sit down meals. Of course when I'm expecting company, I clear everything away and the table is set. But for now it's the largest flat surface I have for dealing with projects.
Thanks for stopping by my Tuesday 4 post!

I love hearing what others have on their tables, etc. Yes, our dining table doesn't get used during the week for dining that much anymore. Hubby and I eat in our recliners in front of the TV most of the time, but when the family comes, then the table is used. So yes, it accumulated mail and other stuff during the week. This was a fun post. Everyone is similar in many areas, but different on others...I enjoyed your answers. Thanks for playing along!! Have a blessed week.
Ok i have NO idea how you keep a basket in the center of a sofa!! Photo please!! Doesn't it tip over????
We always eat in the dining room as we don't have an eat in kitchen.It's big enough but the way the builders designed this side hall colonial, and this model, the table would take up the floor space that i wanted free as we have the family room down a step from the kitchen and use the side door which leads to the garage as our entrance. We rarely use the front door. No one does here!! We come in through the garage. The front door is for company. :)
LOVE your idea of keeping a mini room spray in your purse! I should do that!!
Looks like the ottoman works best for us. I will be setting up my file cabinet this week. I do plan to have my table cleared out in time for Easter. It is nice to have a big space to sort things out. I want to clear out as much as I can to give me peace of mind.
It isn't a basket. It's a flat tray and really doesn't move. You'd need a sofa without big fluffy cushions that move when you sit down on it. When I was growing up no one ever used the front door either. They used a side door or one through the garage like you.Yes, keeping a mini spray in my purse works out well!
Yes, I like the ottoman. I'd been thinking of getting rid of it but it's still in good condition as far as firmness goes so I'll keep it for awhile longer. By the way, I also use a file cabinet for storing more than files and it works out very well so I think you'll like it.
Yes very true. We are much the same around the world but we do things differently here and there. Thanks for visiting and commenting Pamela.
We have a coffee table but it sits off to the side, sort of. The sofa reclines so it has to be far away for that to happen. I hope you are feeling better. A Mr. Goodbar is a Hershey bar but with peanuts in it. So chocolate with peanuts.
Thank you for the well wishes. x
