| I'm just so glad to know that I'm not alone in not moving things around. I feel a little bit better knowing that dust bunnies live else were too.

| [QUOTE=Mom to Hot Rod;3836461]Thankfully I do not have a basement, but my garage is pretty bad. In my defense though, it's a combination effort on hubby's and my part. Anytime he sees something to do with the dogs, it goes into my garage, we have separate garages and his garage is his man cave I imagine everyone has one room or garage like that if they have been together any length of time. You just get in a habit of throwing old stuff in there and after awhile its a full junk room. We are really trying to get our house organized so getting it done is a priority. We have an old delapitated mini barn out in yard we would like to get rid of but need the basement cleared to put the stuff from the mini barn there

| Maybe once or twice a year! LOL sad I know... I never have time to do a complete thorough cleaning! I did it maybe 4 months ago and I'll do it again in the near future. I did pull apart our bedroom on thursday and cleaned it very well. I pulled away furniture, dusted heaters and vacuumed the edges of the walls where a typical vacuum session does not get! There was soooo much dust it was crazy! I'm afraid to look under my couches! LOL

| I have been going through the house little by little all winter. We have had a very mild winter. I have been getting rid of everything we haven't used in a year's time, dusting, rearranging, painting etc. I need to shamppo the carpet in the bedrrom and living room and I would like to get some new window treatments and then the house is finally spring cleaned and clutter free. |

Ugh, painting is another task that I really need to take a look at. I painted the family room, dining room and 1 guest bedroom after we moved in. I just did the kitchen right before Thanksgiving. The next big project on our list is our bedroom. It has only been painted by the builder and it really can even be called a paint job. I think they just took primer and power sprayed the drywall with one coat.

| My house is pretty clean. The garage and basement are another story. My grown children think my house is a storage facility. One daughter has a table and chairs, my son has hockey equipment and a million hockey cards stored here. My sister (who moved into a small apartment in the city) and my other daughter are planning a garage sale and guess where the stuff is stored. There is a huge stereo in the garage (I don't even remember who it belongs to) and my husband is a empty box saver (Amazon come get your boxes).

| I may kinda be somewhat of a clean freak, so my house is pretty clean. I'd say we pull out the furniture and vacuum behind it in our well used rooms every 3 months or so. One thing I need to do more is take the cushions out and do under them! Oh, the treasures I find. Apparently that area is the furbutts favorite half eaten treat storage. I'm going to have to start cleaning them out every other week! One other thing, my baseboards! My entire house has oak baseboards aka dust magnets and I have yet to clean them in one day. I still don't even know what the best thing is to use on them. They get swiffered every time I dust, but I've never thoroughly scrubbed them down. I guess I'll add that to my spring cleaning list.

've read a few articles about paints and the undertones it has and I found several blogs showing before /afters of painted wood trim. I always loved the looks of the painted wood in the blogs but I was sooo hesitant to do mine again... The painted wood in the blogs looked so clean, crisp and bright so I bit the bullet and decided to try it again. Last year I bought a "creamy" white versus a "white" white which is what I had used before. I have now painted all of my wood trim on the lower level and love it. I'm just not sure about the bathroom because of the amount that will be painted. The ceiling is about 15 feet high and it goes almost to the floor and it has some sort of shellac on it......Wish me luck because there is no way I will strip this off if I don't like it.....
