Lavender Furniture Wax, at The Container Store Wednesdays are a busy workday for me, and I usually get to enjoy a Girls Night Out in the evening (my boyfriend meets some of his guy friends for fish & chips and beer on Wednesdays). After I get dressed and made up to go out, I won’t …
A cherry tree bestows my front yard with Spring blossoms. I usually like to begin my Spring Cleaning on the first of a month (March 1st, if the weather is nice earlier in the year, or April 1st). I like to do a small project every weeknight, and two big projects on the weekend, tackling …
I wish I could own this pretty upholstered Laurel bed, but I’m afraid my black dogs and naughty scratching cat would ruin the upholstery! My bedroom, as you will see from my pics, is in terrible condition. I’ve been vacationing, then catching up with tons of extra work, so I haven’t spent enough time maintaining …
Water Hyacinth Laundry Hamper, from The Container Store Tonight I’m going out to dinner. When I get home, I hope to relax with a little binge-watching marathon of Game of Thrones Season 1, thanks to HBO’s free Preview Weekend. I don’t want to come home to a chore, but don’t want to skip out on …

My balcony at the Edgewater Hotel in Seattle I had intended to have all my Spring Cleaning all finished long before the end of April.

The Lush Decor curtains I’m tempted to get for my dining room windows Last night I skipped Spring Cleaning and went to Family Night Dinner at our local Olive Garden instead.

Sterilite Storage Bin, at Target Today my Spring Cleaning project is to clean and organize my garage. It’s half full of family keepsakes, Christmas decorations, and kitchen/home decor storage; and half full of merchandise for my eBay business.
