Prefer Using Blinds To Curtains As Home Decorating Accessories June 10, 2008
Posted by Vedis The Home Lover in : Home Decorating / Storage Ideas , comments closedWhen it comes to home decorating accessories, I guess I prefer using blinds to curtains.
Blinds, especially wood blinds , are no doubt my option for my home. Wood gives people the feeling of warm peacefulness and comfort, apart from the obvious closeness to nature.
Wood blinds are relatively easy to clean, as compared with curtains and other types of window coverings. To clean wood blinds, all you have to do is dilute some wood cleaner or wood polish in some water, wet a towel, and wipe down the individual slats with the towel.
Tips For Spring Cleaning Your Living Room March 3, 2008

While we may be doing an excellent job of maintaining our living areas, occasionally we need to do more than maintenance. Take the time to review what goes into a living room spring clean up.
Here are tips for spring cleaning your living room:
1. Begin with a 15 minute living room cleanup. This will clear out the clutter and give you room to do the actual spring clean up. Don’t worry about cleaning the floors in the 15 minute clean up. We will do this later.
2. Dust down the ceiling and corners of walls. Determine if the walls need washed in dirty spots. Spot wash, remembering air vents, doorknobs, doors, and switch plates.
3. Dust and clean all art and photographs along the wall. Be careful when cleaning framed art and photographs. Never spray cleanser or water onto the frame. The liquid can seep behind the glass and damage the pictures. Instead lightly wet a clean cloth to wipe the frame and glass. (more…)
