7 Days of Clean! {Day 4}

How to clean your living room for the holidays

1. Dust from top to bottom, left to right (clockwise), vacuum soap, clean under sofa, fluff the pillow, straighten throws.

2. Water your Christmas tree every day to keep it fresh

3. Add festive elements. They can be as simple as a bowl of ornaments

4. Corral some gifts in pretty baskets so they are not just around under your tree

5. Lite a festive candle so your guest feel the spirit when they get home

Pillows

I love how pillows can totally change the mood of a room.  They add glamour, a dose of color and coziness to any space!

I have a few pillows in my mind (including this one from west elm) that I would love to get to revamp a little our home!

How do you like to decorate with pillows?  Do you love them as much as I do?

Last minute dusting

As the holidays approach faster and faster there's so much to do and so little time! Are you hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year?  I'm sure one of the things on your to-do list is cleaning your home.  That is one of the not-so-fun tasks, certainly not as fun a preparing the turkey, gravy and all that yummy food that will let us with a few extra pounds that weekend.  If you're running out of time to clean your home you can definitely call our Company and we'll be happy to help!

In the meanwhile I want to introduce you one of my favorite tools to give a quick touch up to your home:  Duster Extender.

Why I love it:

- It extends up to three feet. 

- When is not in use you can put if back to regular size for easy storage

- You can get to those hard to reach places without much effort or risk since you won't need to stand on a step ladder to get to the top of wood furniture, corners, door and window frames, ceiling fan, etc.

- Not only to reaches high but also low places such as baseboards or under very low furniture where the vacuum (or even the regular Swiffer) can't get to

- Works wonders on blinds

- The head can move to different positions for easy cleaning

- At $8.99 you can't go wrong with it!

Do you have a last minute touch up routine?  Please share with us, would love to hear from you!

PS: This is not a paid post.  Comments are genuine and my personal opinion, I really love this stuff! :)

Marker stains

My daughter loves to draw and she's GREAT at it!  The only thing is that she likes to draw on a piece of paper on our coffee table.  More often that I would like our poor little table gets markers stains, like this...

Fashion meets Home

It seems this fall will be full of polka dots every where. I've seen many catalogs and windows with this lovely pattern. It was a huge success back in the 80s and as they say... Everything comes back.
