Spring Cleaning

As spring has finally arrived we have been having a bit of a spring clean at home, starting with the kitchen. We have lived in our current home since January 2006 and have somehow managed to hoard a load of stuff we don’t actually use or need.

We were starting to run out of useful cupboard space so we have started thinning it out, drastically. Most of the cupboards are done now. Just the mug and glass cupboard to go. Once it is all cleared we can then set about with the decorating of this room.

The kitchen will be fairly easy to decorate, needing just a lick of paint and some new flooring. We plan to use a pale coffee colour on the walls, complimented by white ceilings and matt white woodwork which should tie in with the white kitchen cupboard doors and the cherry work surface. We also plan to fit some black and white chequered vinyl flooring as we really don’t like the cheap and nasty laminate currently down. The plan being to eventually carry the vinyl flooring through into the entrance hallway as it will be easier to keep clean than the current cream carpet.

It has taken us some time to get into gear with decorating the house but now that we have started tidying it up we can see the final goal heading ever closer, which in turn has given us a kick to get some progress made.

After the kitchen we will tackle the living room, another easy room to conquer.
