Spring Cleaning Challenge - Day 17, LVRM/DNRM Furniture

I've decided the difficulty of the task isn't what drives me away from doing it, it's taking the time to actually start the task. Procrastination...it gets the best of us all at one point or another!
Today's task could be very short or extremely time consuming depending on your house size and decoration style.  We will be wiping down all of the furniture in the Living Room and Dinning Room (of course excluding the couch, easy chairs, and dinning room table). There are a few items, like mirrors, and lamps, etc, that could also be categorized as an accessory. We will be cleaning all of the accessories in a few days. It doesn't matter which day you do those middle-of-the-roaders, just so long as you remember to do them.

CHALLENGE:
Wipe down all remaining furniture in the living room and dinning room. End tables, coffee tables, buffets, pianos, etc.... It's just like dusting, only on overload. I would recommend a rag dipped in warm slightly soapy water; or furniture polish for the wood items. Don't just do the tops: clean legs, drawers, shelves, etc...and don't forget to move items. If you need to empty a certain item entirely, clean it, and then replace everything, to make sure you don't get lazy and not move an item, than do it! It will only take a moment longer.

How to Make Your Apartment More Homey - Part 5

Welcome to part 5 of my mini series "How to Make Your Apartment More Homey". Once you get a grasp on the first four topics you've really got something going for you. These last two steps are definitely not the meat of the problem.  Today we will focus on - The Color Palette. A little bit of color theory wouldn't hurt anyone. I realize that we are alway feeling the need to try something new and be a little different. It's called fashion, and that's okay. Be different! Make a statement! It's good to try something new. But if it's ugly just say so, don't lie to save your pride. Your pride has already been painted all over that new yellow couch!  You can google a basic color wheel and the different ways to pair the colors or most people have an eye for what looks good together. It's usually a good thing to stick with the same hue (bold with bold, or pastels with pastels, and burnt colors with burnt colors) but even that isn't alwa...

Spring Cleaning Challenge Day 6 Psalm 51:10

Welcome to your first day of rest. Tomorrow is Sunday, a day that should be put aside to worship the Lord and to rest your body from physical activity. Each Sunday we will meditate on a verse that reflects having a clean heart. Because we all know that a spotless house doesn't make us truly happy. Only a clean heart can keep a smile on our faces. Psalm 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God,  and renew a right spirit within me.  What does a clean heart look like? Who judges wether the heart is clean or not? Who cares about your heart more than anyone else? Just like we have been pulling out our furniture this week looking for dust bunnies, take a moment to pull out the furniture in your life and look for "Me" bunnies. Search out your heart for selfish things you've tucked away, whether it be a secret, a personal pleasure, a blatant sin, or an old heartache.  When you've found them, take them all one by one and lay them out in a straight row in front of...

Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 21, Shower

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, celebrating Easter with family and friends. This week we will be focusing on the bathrooms. (I hope you don't have very many) Because I'm not getting this post out till late morning you might consider swapping today's task and tomorrow's. If you get up early and have already taken a shower you might not want to clean the shower today. Instead you can jump ahead to tomorrow and clean the shower curtain and liner. Then tomorrow morning when you take a shower you can clean it. Do whatever works best with your schedule. CHALLENGE: Clean you shower(s) till it sparkles. Here is a link back to the post about shower cleaner. It really does work the best; It makes my shower tiles sparkle! I find that taking a shower while cleaning it is the easiest way. If you have multiple showers, you might consider not getting soaking wet every time, or asking a spouse or child to help you. Take a scrub brush to work on grout mold, and a sponge to wipe ...
