Happy Sunday everyone! I have been working hard this past week turning our playroom into an office/craft/spare room. Utilizing the space you have in your home is essential to an organized home, and having a place for everything really helps to keep the house clean. "Everything has a place and there's a place for everything". I started by sorting through the children's toys that take up a lot of space, or things they do not play with. These items got donated to Good Will. Kids toys should be in one of two places:1. A corner of the house you don't mind having a designated play area.2. In your children's room.Ensure you have appropriate storage, this is key for space saving. The second task was to remove everything from the room. I had a closet full of office supplies, craft stuff, old papers and more. Shocking how much you can get in a closet.Since our spare room is below ground, we wanted to brighten it up so we chose a light grey"White Metal" from Behr, the results were intense. We then removed the closet doors from the closet and started the organization process.It's in the details…..To add some depth to the room, we inserted fabric inside the closet, in addition to removing the doors this opens up the room. The next step was to purchase shelving and storage boxes from IKEA to help with the organizing. IKEA is a great place for space saving solutions. Beside the shelves I hung some frames with my favourite memories in. Having an office space that you enjoy being in is extremely important to productivity. ***Storage Boxes of different sizes will be helpful for you while sorting through closets and drawers***I can't wait to share the space saving final project with you all, here are a couple photos from the progress so far! Just like your office, if your home is organized and looks the way you want it to; you will enjoy house cleaning even more!Here is a sneak peek of this rejuvenated space. More updates to come.

Who doesn't love the feeling of sitting in their living room with their feet up, steeped tea in hand and enjoying the view of that brand new Urban Barn wall sconce with the rustic finish? We do! There is this youth-like feeling when you make a new purchase for your home, especially when it is clean and organized. Spring and summer are no exception.But let's focus on indoors today, once your spring cleaning is finished you get the itch to go home decor shopping! So get that basic house keeping complete, and grab a catalogue cause here's whats hot for 2014.Believe it or not TURQUOISE is a big wall colour for this year. It is bright and calming and accentuates so many different decor styles whether you love ethnic patterns or simple and clean home design. So much inspiration from a turquiose wall. Bathrooms are moving away from the traditional "washroom" look and adopting the beauty of a spa concept. Light and bright and serene. Once the bathroom toilet, sink and bathtub are sparkly white, consider using greys and whites to accent that bathroom. Simplicity awaits…Vintage looks have made a strong statement in the past year and they haven't left yet! According to CBS, 'The Top 5 Kitchen Trends' includes a great list of bar glasses, as well as the emphasis on great glassware such as the classic mason jar and vintage ceramic cookware. Photo Credit: Click Here

It's time for a Fall Deep Clean!Every time the seasons change, we feel the urge to refresh our homes. There is no simpler way to do this than to start with a deep clean by a professional cleaning company like Perfection Clean BC. Once your deep clean is complete, you can assess clutter issues as well as focus on maintenance such as painting and carpet cleaning. Fall is the perfect time to spruce up your paint and maybe even choose a color that will reflect the crisp weather that is approaching.

How many cleaning services do you know that will do your laundry while they clean? Or fill your dishwasher and then empty it again after? On average, the homeowner will fill and empty their dishwasher at least once a day (sometimes twice, depending on how many kids you have!) If you average that over 365 days in a year, you probably empty and fill that dishwasher almost 500 times. I don't know about you, but I'd like a break from the monotony every now and then. The next time you have Perfection Cleaning BC come into your home, be sure to ask them to throw in a load of laundry or empty and fill your dishwasher. It's one of the perks that we throw in that really will ease your day!
