Spring Cleaning in the Fall
August 17th, 2010 | 
Author: I get the bug every year. Around the time school is getting ready to start I have a deep desire to clean and decorate the home.
It’s not unknown you know. Autumn Cleaning
Some years I’m better at it than others. This year I seem to want to decorate. Our master bedroom needs some love badly so I’m taking my time about it but making changes in a few things. No paint but bed and maybe a tiny bit of new furniture. I also need to purge and organize the home office to make space for all that goes on there. How many paint sets, crayons, workbooks, scrap paper, construction paper, chalk pieces, pens, tapes, scissors and glue does a five year old need anyway? And she knows if I’ve gotten rid of something.
But enough about me. Here are a couple of tools and sites I’ve been visiting as of late…
Haven of Home. I’m just having an all around good read here. Roxanne’s blog is a delight to read and she makes no apologies for enjoying the 50′s. Although this is from her spring cleaning series circa 2009 I like it for any time of year. She starts with decluttering her home room by room and then cleaning and then decorating. (The link I’m sending you to is for the Spring Cleaning series.)
Spring Cleaning Year Round. These are just so cute. If you’re having trouble keeping on top of your chores consider picking up one of these darling chore boxes. Decorated so cute how could you help but keep on track? You will want to display this in a prime spot where you can smile at it’s sunny disposition each day. If you do end up ordering can you tell her Q&Q sent you? Thanks!
