Homecleaning for the Holidays!!!

Been busy for a couple of days cleaning. I want my family to enjoy a clean clean clean home for the upcoming holidays... and so do I.

First room was our bedroom. I deep cleaned in here yesterday.

My bed skirt is in the laundry and you can see my water storage under the bed... but oh well! LOL!

The floor looks dirty, but it isn't really. DH and I like our wood floors, but haven't "finished" them, and don't plan to until the Great Dane has gone to heaven. It just wouldn't be a feasible idea right now.... so we sweep them and mop them and are content right now.

Here's the other side of the room. You can see the African Grey's cage toward the left hand side of the pic. He's a pain in my backend. Was bought for dh, but he doesn't even mess with him. I want to sell him, but people keep wanting to trade me dogs, horses and whatnot, or make payments.... Maybe after the holidays....

See me gate at the doorway? We have a ShihTzu that hikes his leg on whatever he feels the need to.... and I just didn't feel the need to have him in my room at this time. (I keep a gate up at my sewing room door too...)

The bedroom furniture belonged to my Momma before she passed, and she smoked, so it has years of yuk buildup on it. So I scrub with soap and water, then dry and polish. Someday, I'll get it all! LOL!

Yesterday, I also tackled the linen closet.

That is awesome compared to what it DID look like! I am taking about 15-20 towels to Goodwill... we just don't need that many. Unless someone can give me an idea on what to use them for....

Today, it's the bathroom's turn. Right now, the shower curtain and liner are in the wash. I've taken everything off the shelves and wiped them down, scoured the tub and pot, wiped down walls and woodwork, and did the floor on my hands and knees, so I could get behind the pot. I'll get a pic of that when it's completely finished.

Amelia is busy hanging Christmas lights outside, and Abby has been helping me in the house. She has washed all the knick-knacks in the kitchen and dining room, and dusted where need be....

Logan is just being Logan. Getting into whatever 11 year old boys get into....

Together, we shall finish and have a wonderfully clean house!

DH may have to drive to Kentucky tonight, we don't know yet, so he's in the bedroom laying down trying to nap.

Well, time to check laundry!
