[ ]sweep down walls, cobwebs
[ ]clean light fixtures
[ ]sweep porch

I switched the order on my rooms because of the cold here. My first room is the downstairs bathroom and I'm kind of at a standstill. It's in the process of being remodelled and I have done everything I can do at this point. Now I need DH or a plumber to step in...lol. I did get it all cleared out though. I had turned into a closet over the past year. It does actually look like a bathroom again. I'm going to move on to the next room and come back to this if and when DH gets to it and I have water and something to clean and decorate in there.

Way to go on those porches girls!!

Our weather has not cooperated with working on the front porch so I decided to work in the kitchen instead. I have been cleaning out cabinets, organizing food stuffs, and purging out of date items. I must have a penchant for spaghetti sauce and tomato soup. This reinforces the need for a grocery list and meal plans before I head out to market. The dated cans are forcing a few meal plans themselves, or I'll lose more items.
I have a pie safe and spool cabinet to go through and I'll be done with the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen at least.

 

[momof4]

The weather hasn't cooperated here either and the weekend is supposed to be really cold. I've been focusing on my living room instead of the front porch. I've decluttered the computer cabinet and hutch. I took down the curtains and will wash them this weekend hopefully. I cleaned the corn stove and lamps. arty:
