How to Loosen Winter's Icy Grip

Ah spring.  How we ache for you right now.  Now that March is here, spring is so close.  Yet as we gaze out of our frosted panes at another sub-zero Saturday it feels so very far away.  Truly this winter is one of epic proportions here in Western Wisconsin/Eastern Minnesota.  Take heart dear reader, the wheel keeps on turning, spring will come.  What to do about cabin fever?  Clean!

March is a great time to get a jump on spring cleaning.  It’s a time to dig into that closet, basement or kid’s room and evaluate.  Cut the clutter.  Free yourself from stuff.  Has it sat in the same dark corner since last March?  Let it go.  Once it’s gone, you won’t miss it.  Check out this interesting article on how to get started.  http://organizedhome.com/cut-clutter/declutter-101-where-do-I-start

If you have already used the never ending winter lockdown to creep into every nook and cranny or if you can’t possibly bear another cleaning Saturday, consider a home space renewal.  Painting a room can have a dramatic effect on your home space.  A fresh paint job can truly change both the look and feel of your home.  To kick these winter blues, you may consider brightening up a dark hallway or bathroom.  The project does not have to be great in size to have a great effect on your home and family.  The first step to any good paint job is a plan.  Check out some of the great resources available from our favorite paint supplier, Sherwin Williams.  http://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/ask-sherwin-williams/painting/interior-painting-how-tos/interior-planning/
