The Beauty Of Deep Cleaning...

Bella Rose

My eyes long for a focal point of something lovely to gaze upon
 in every place of my home.

A picture they say speaks a thousand words.

Whether I am adorning my walls or mantels or a dresser top, it feels good

To make each of them pretty, yet useful.

I do not like things to look cluttered or cluncky (My own word)

I am sure many of you lovely ladies have been Spring cleaning;

It is really good for one's self and her family to deep clean.

We all have a wee bit of a pack rat within us.

I had a wise woman tell me years ago, that if  I would make the time

To clean out my silverware drawer or tidy a counter top daily, things would

Stay manageable in my home. I think this has worked very well!

But deep Spring cleaning is where you tackle those closets and drawers
 and those

Places you close the door too!

I like to take one room at a time and ask other family members to help.

This is a time of training...

We have a whole generation of young women who have never learned,

The art of home cleaning!

Spring cleaning is where you move everything to vacuum under it!!

You wash the window's in that room and the window coverings,

(Blinds, curtains, and sheers.)

It is also a good time to rearrange your pictures on the walls,

 And the knickknacks on your end tables and such.

Our interior homes will reflect, the time we invest in making them,

Cozy, clean, and functional.

I have about sprayed painted every picture frame and basket in my,

home many times over the years.

I have made new curtains, and changed out bedspreads.

These are cost effective and a chance to redecorate

 with what you already have.

I keep a large tub that I use for knickknacks that I am able to change them out,

And they make a room look newly decorated, with things you loved in the past.

We are always buying new things, and we are quickly tired of them;

So, I have learned the fine art of rotating my treasure.

You can change them out according to the season's

(Spring, Summer and Fall and Winter)

I like to do this with drapes and my dishes!

My bedspreads and even rugs.

Your HOME is your sphere of influence.

I want to just mention how all you amazing ladies' posts so many,

wonderful recipes and decorating ideas.

You all inspire me!!

I really enjoy visiting your pretty blogs, And I love seeing how

Your love for your families show in what you do and prepare for them.

I am blessed to see your devotion to your Hubby's and HOMES!

But your love for the Lord, gives me the greatest Joy...
