When 2014 started, I decided that this was going to be “the year of paint”.
Ignore all those voices in your head telling you that you need a certain quality of supplies to have the result you want and be prepared to fall in love with the transformative magic that paint can bring to your home!.We’ve all heard of spring cleaning, but do you get that same itch to scrub everything down and start fresh in the fall too?I know I always do and it’s the perfect time for it, really.
The kids are back in school, routines are being established again, and it’s a great time to set things right in your home before the big holiday rush takes over our lives!The bathroom is obviously one of the dirtiest places in our homes and it can be a lot of work to keep it super sparkling clean on a daily basis.If you’re like most people and only have time to give it a quick once-over-when-it-needs-it during most of the year, this “Fall Cleaning” time is the perfect time to get to those parts of the room that you don’t normally get a chance to clean.
Sure, the bathroom looks pretty good with just a quick daily or weekly cleaning, but if you really get into all the nooks and crannies of the room, that’s when you’ll really see it shine!It’s great to experience that for yourself, even if it’s only once in a while and even if it only lasts a moment.
It’s great motivation to keep the room just a little cleaner during the rest of the year too!.
Here’s a short list of a few of my favorite not-so-often-cleaned spots in the bathroom to get you started!.First you’ll need to frame out your wall, if a frame isn’t already there for you.
This is your chance to make your wall look really nice and straight if your house is a mess of angles like ours is, so use your level!Build yourself a simple little structure like this and just anchor it with some screws.
It’s maybe the simplest thing you can possibly build, besides DIY Shutters, that is.So now it’s time to attach the drywall.
