Shelf space - keeping it!!!!
 
I have to share shelf space with two other people.

When I have managed to clear some shelf space - which isn't too often - I have learned to put an empty box in that space - or it will be taken over by the other people that live here.

put something in the box so it looks legit ;-)

My sewing table is kind of facing the hall between the rooms and I used to clear my table at night. Not anymore! It seems an empty table invites the family to deposit stuff there.

I can't keep any open spaces here at home, either. My husband is ALWAYS sitting stuff down wherever he finds an empty spot. In fact, we've got a running joke about it. Whenever he's working on something and loses one of his tools (which is quite often), I shrug and tell him it's on the "nearest flat surface". I'm usually right! :D (Drives me crazy, but I love him to bits, so whadda ya do? he he)

My Dh knows to ask if he can put anything in an empty spot, otherwise it will be loaded toward the ceiling!

Comforting to see I'm in the same boat with so many when it comes to space being gone in a snap. In this house it seems rampant.
