Disappearing Act

Now you see it

Now you don't

If only cleaning was that simple.

But I have found a solution with minimal effort. 

Let me introduce the 'Tray System'

I have had this tray in the china cabinet for almost a year. While it is a nice decorative piece, it is even better as a functional item. Last week I placed it on the coffee table and informed my dear husband that this is where all of our 'junk' goes. Then before bed we simply take the tray to the kitchen, place the items in the trash/dishwasher/etc and return the clean tray to the clean coffee table. 

Maybe if we didn't drink so much wine in front of the TV we wouldn't have this problem, but since we do, here is the perfect solution!
