“Spring” Cleaning

If we can call this 40-degree weather a heat wave, then we can call last Sunday’s cleaning extravaganza our Spring cleaning.

We started around 3 PM and by 9:30 PM, our apartment looked so much better! We finally hung up a poster that we have been meaning to hang since we got the dining room hutch. I was able to put a lot of our kitchen appliances in cupboards instead of leaving them on the counter. (The hutch provided extra storage places for china, so I now had more cupboard space for less-used appliances)

John rearranged our guest bedroom/office, which is a room we have never posted photos of before. We are planning on finally buying a guest bed to put in there, and we needed to rearrange it in order to have everything fit. He also moved our office bookshelf to our bedroom and put a chair next to it, creating a reading nook.

Here’s a little before and after for you. Living room before

Living room after (we moved that second bookshelf in there 2-3 months ago)

Ooh a sneak speak into the guest bedroom/office! (Plus the new reading nook)

And now, our guest bedroom/office:

These random canvases need to be framed and moved, but for now, this is their spot…on the far wall is the closet. Below the canvases will be where the guest bed goes (more or less).
