Jumpstart on Spring...Cleaning

Green living guru Danny Seo has a good blog that we check out pretty regularly.

He recently put up a post that echoes our plan for some simple bedroom month maintenance that we're going to tackle this weekend. Click over for the details...

In addition to Danny's plan for the washing and mattress flipping we are going to put together a bag of all of the winter clothes we haven't worn this year to donate - if we made it though the last few months without needing or wanting to wear it, it's going.

Finally, we plan to clear off the bookshelves, put a box together of old books to donate and do a good dusting; with the apartment mostly closed up and the heat going, those books and shelves could use a good going over.

Hopefully, by Sunday evening we will be relaxing in a fresher, cleaner, more cleared out room...

Any plans to clean, clear, decorate or renovate this weekend?

I'm planning to repaint my bathroom, so I will be thinking about colors and getting some samples to try out.

I stayed home from work today, and totally rearranged, mopped and dusted the living room. It was great to open the windows, get some light and air in here! Now I want new furniture, but I'll settle for some bookshelves. I've officially outgrown every shelf in the house.

As I don't see this programme thanks for introducing me to the site. I'm going to spend the afternoon going through the archives.

You mentioned needing some new shelves and furniture. I found the greatest online furniture site. Thought I would share it with you. They have a nice selection of furniture, and some great bookshelves and media storage. I bought a Media Storage Tower from them and I am so pleased with my purchase. I have been watching this site pretty regularly and they seem to add new products all the time. You all might want to check it out. http://www.ILikeFurniture.com Hope I have helped some of you out. It can be a challenge to find the right pieces of furniture when you live in an apartment.
