Spring Clean Up!!!!

Hi All,

With Spring officially arriving on Friday - tomorrow - at 6:45pm - now is a good time to blog about 'Spring cleanup'.Oh wait...its going to snow tomorrow...how can it be the beginning of Spring when we're going to get about 2"-4" of snow? 

Crazy weather...that's all.  In any event, folks can still get a jump on their spring cleaning by reading the rest of this blog entry.  And when you are done with the spring cleaning you can go to the next job on your list of things to do - like taxes...

Some articles and ideas that will make your Spring cleanup faster, easier and less unpleasant.   Click on this link from About.com titled 'Spring Cleaning For Lawns and Landscaping'.   And from the ever present Martha Stewart comes this entry in the form of a checklist - specifically a 'Spring Cleaning Checklist'. Wikipedia even got into the act with an article on Spring cleaning

A fairly well known name is house maintenance/repair/upkeep is HouseBeautiful.  This next link comes from their site and includes '13 Spring-Cleaning Tips'.

Believe it or not, Vogue has also gotten into the act as well with an article titled, 'Spring Cleaning: 8 Beautiful Items to Help You Tidy Up'.

And, finally, click on this link from Imperfect Homemaking for a 'Thorough Spring Cleaning Checklist'.  The author of the site - Kelly - has organized the cleaning by rooms of the house: foyer, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room/family room/playroom, laundry room, stairwells, outside the house and reminders.  A printable version of this Spring Cleaning Checklist can be found by clicking on this link!

Here's to fast and easy cleaning!

Room Remodeling - Really!

Hi All,

So...you've worked on the outside of your house over the summer with all the landscaping, gardening, cleaning gutters and cars, painting the deck furniture and doing other 'summery outdoorsy stuff'. Well folks, now it is winter and the outside living isn't so wonderful. It is cold, rainy and windy outside - how is a family supposed to do any gardening or whatnot?

Indeed...you aren't. Thats why we can do some interior work in the house at this time of year.

So...without further ado...a list of 3 websites on how to remodel a bedroom.

Better Homes and Gardens - Home Decorating and Interior Design Ideas - colors, windows, furniture, design plans and create-a-room all available on this site. Plus it is from Better Homes and Gardens!

From Martha Stewart comes Decorating Room by Room. Its Martha - what's not to love!

From Room Decorating.net comes this site which has an extensive list of rooms to decorate. Users can click on links related to bathroom decorating, bedroom, decorating, decorating styles, dining room decorating and dorm room decorating.

That should keep ya busy for the weekend!

Regards,
Stu
