OR this when cleaning the house?????
That's the look I've had for a week and a half. I'm not just cleaning the house, I am cleaning OUT the house! I've got years of...junk that needs to GO! and now! So far, I have cleaned out the living room, the kitchen and I started today on the master bedroom. That one may take a day or two to get done. In my house, my bedroom is the over flow room for the office...meaning, once the office is full, it goes into my bedroom. Well, that ends...today.
I began in the living room, which wasn't too bad. Just mostly trash. One day, tops to do that room. Then, I moved into the kitchen. That took a few days. Thank God we had a 'snow day'. DS and DH was trapped at home, so I put them to work helping me clean out the kitchen cabinets and going through all our junk. I ended up with 8 boxes of...JUNK..or treasure, however you see it. :)
Since our bedroom is the over flow area, and my office is now a storage room, it was beginning to wear on my nerves. I don't know about you, but I can't sleep in a cluttered room. So, today, I began the process of cleaning it out. I got a lot done, but no where near done. I have an entire side of the closet to go and I am not looking forward to dragging everything out. But, I know it has to be done. And, I know I will love it because I will sleep better.
The last room I will go through is my office/storage room. That one is gonna take all of us, working together, for at least a week to get it all cleaned out. Then I can proudly say I have a really clean house.
Sometimes I think it would be easier and faster to bull doze it down and start over. But I love my home. It was my grandparents home and where I spent most of my childhood. When I am done with everything I want to do, it won't look the same, but the feeling will be the same; full of family, full of love, full of life.
Do you ever just go through each room and clean out all the hidden treasures? Share with us your experience in cleaning out your house.
