Spring Cleaning Redo

Well, the spring cleaning bug has struck.

I'm really not sure how long it will last but I have some plans.

The plan....to complete each and every room of our home. Just to know each room is clean and organized will be something else. I really hope we don't fizzle out after a few rooms because this is such hard-hard work!  

We started with the living room. We removed all of the furniture and lucky for us, our couch fabric comes off and it's washable.

We washed the walls, baseboards, windows, blinds, carpets and removed the curtains to go to the dry cleaners. I cleaned all of the wood with wood cleaner and then polished it with lemon oil.

The most impressive thing was cleaning the gas fireplace. I had no clue the glass was so dirty and we didn't even realize it came off to clean. Wow, we actually have red bricks in there. Who knew?

I fluffed the pillows, organized our storage areas around the fireplace, rearranged the shelves with different items throughout the house and added a little bit of spring.

I told Dan when we get each room finished it should get a little present :) OK, the present is really for me I guess :) I'm always thinking......

This rooms new addition.......a little bit of art. It barely fit above the reading nook but it makes the room look completely different and full of fun.

I really enjoy visiting blogs that have spring cleaning tips and redecorated rooms. Very inspiring.

So I sure hope you don't mind me sharing our spring cleaning adventure with you :)

Next up......the laundry room.

Until next time.......Happy Spring Cleaning :)
