That's not even as bad as it gets, and indeed is what often passes for clean...
The culprits.
I might as well stick some links in:
My cousin-in-law Aimee has an Etsy store. We should probably have one as well.
The Reverend Corwin & Nellie Taylor Collection collection of old photographs of Korea.
A romantic story amid the conflict between US and Korean culture.
New Rail Models - check out the How it's Done section especially.
A good metalworking/machining blog
Thin Kerf Technologies - for Saw Filers...

That's some living room! And do I see a dog?
I also see you have that Thomas train table going, as well as a kitchen set and a toy chest. Those are items (and the dog) would not be allowed in our household. My wife runs the show at home...
As a result, the kids end up playing in the bedroom most often, which is a disaster area. Dried Play-Doh, books, balls, Easter eggs and toy animals scattered everywhere.
Yes, Stanley the huge black lab/elephant mix. He creates piles of dog hair everywhere and knocks things and children down. He also tracks in mud. We also have a cat that likes to kill large animals and leave pools of blood and bodyparts out and around.
I think you need a playhouse in the back yard - that way the kids can have a space to make huge messes and your wife won't leave you. I would love to know what disgusted reaction your wife has to the pictures. Luckily I married a woman who is as slovenly as I am.
You're a lucky man to have found a woman who matches you in that respect. I somehow have found the woman who is not organized but thinks she is (don't tell her I said that). So while on the surface everything looks nice, look out for that bowling ball when you open the closet! Of course it doesn't help that we have 2 cats 1 dog and not much space at all. Good thing the yard is so big!

Ok..this is a small, small, world. I just went out to the link for the machining blog you posted and then I come across a yoyo..that I recognize! So I follow the link to Practical Machinist which I read often but seemed to have missed this yoyo post, posted by someone I know from the yoyo message boards who used to be in a yoyo club that I am in until he went to school in NY. Weird.

Don't know what it says about me (ok, yes I do) but I didn't think it looked all that messy.
Sad but true.
Rob, we could probably hide stuff too but we have no closet space...glad I could make the yo-yo connection peripherally - sort of like that 6 degrees of separation thing, but internetty.
Liz, It's been messier...
But I think that's the daily average. Usually Henry has also thrown all the cushions off the couch as well.
My desk and my shop are generally clean, and that's all I can manage. The house, well meh...
