Deep cleaning day 2-

Cleaned the washing machine; using a magic eraser on the outside surfaces,then ran the washer with 2 cups of bleach. Came out sparkling.

Vacuumed living room furniture including under the cushions.

Cleaned dining room chairs, polished the legs and cleaned the leather seats.

Washed all rugs and vacuumed all others too large for washing machine.

Ahhh feeling great so far! Can't wait to finish and have a spotless house

So easy and cheap!! Smells great too :)

Deep cleaning day 1:the oven

Deep cleaning day 1:
I am amazed by the cleaning power of baking soda with vinegar.
Cleaning the oven- use 1/4cup baking soda adding just enough water to make a paste then just a splash of vinegar. Apply to all surfaces you want clean allow to sit and soak for 20-30 mins use a warm rag to reveal the clean oven. On tough spots just either resoak or use a brillo pad. Uses minimal elbow grease :)
Notice how clean the glass is!?

Picture perfect

Picture perfect!
-old frame
-twine
-nails
-stain
I wanted a piece of art that would make a bold statement that was cheap so when I wanted to replace it I didn't feel guilty.
So I found an old frame(from a dresser originally holding a mirror) stained it with an espresso stain,then using nails secured the twine in a criss crossed pattern as seen in the picture. My original plan was to use clothespins to place pictures within the frame to easily change them out but when I finished to what you see today I was pleased with it as it was.
Total Cost to me was $2.79 which was the cost of the stain everything else I had on hand .

What a great pear

Great way to put those old lightbulb's to great use!
-Old classic lightbulb
-twine or hemp
-modge podge
-some sort of twig
Start by putting some modge podge on the lightbulb and start winding the twine on the bulb continue all the way up the bulb adding modge podge as needed. Nearing the end add your twig and wind in securely . When finished you have a beautiful pear. Cheap DIY decor :)
