Organizing Your Home
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted something, life and work is busy….always a good thing!
Anyway, with summer now at our doorstep it seems there is a sense of renewal and inspiration in the air. The benefit of such feelings is that most times, we are invigorated to organize ourselves knowing that those dreary winter months will be back again! Here are a few tips to get you organizing your home this summer:
• Clear out all kitchen cupboards and pantries. Throw out any old/expired food. Put aside plates/serving pieces that you no longer like to sell in a garage sale or donate.
• If you are not in the practice of changing over your closet for the seasons, now is the time to start! Clear out all your winter wear and replace your closet with your summer clothes. Put your winter gear in a dresser or a spare closet if you have the space. This is also a good time to remove any clothing from your repertoire that you no longer like or don’t fit.
• Give the house a “super” clean. Vacuum/wash blinds and curtains. Steam clean the carpets, wash cupboards inside and out and wash windows.
• Tidy and spruce up the garden. Just a little bit of landscaping with brighten the look of your home. Plant some flowers and pull any unsightly weeds.
• Make a list of the projects that are best left for the fall, like painting. This way you have an idea of the projects you would like to tackle.
Enjoy the summer – it’s too short as it is, so relax and rejuvenate!
