Tips for Spring 02/17/2012
 
It is that time of year again! Spring, ah yes...fresh flowers, sunshine, and ooohh wow, look at those windows! Yuck! It is time to clear the cobwebs, wash the windows and freshen up the place. Here are a few tips to get you going:

1. Pay attention to the draft coming through your windows. If your hair is blowing in the wind, it may be time to get an estimate for new windows. Also check the wood trim for cracks, leaks, etc. Oftem times we don't even know there's a probem because we never stop to look behind the curtains.
2. Speaking of curtains. How old are they? Are the linings yellowed? Are the fabrics still vibrant and hanging nicely? If not, consider an updo. It is possible we could change the lining, maybe add a fringe or an accent fabric and create a new look.
3. Accessories! If you haven't taken down Christmas yet, let's do that now. If you have spring accessories that you've stored during winter, it's time to bring them out again. If you don't have any, or need to purchase new, consider pillows, vases, spring flowers, pots, new picture frames, greenery etc.  
4. We can't forget maintenance items such as furnace filters, vents, ceiling fans, light fixtures, the top of cabinetry etc. These places collect dust after only a short period of time so don't forget to have them cleaned.
5. Check the condition of your carpet. If it is fairly new, simply hiring a great carpet cleaning company should suffice. It its been 10 years or more, it may be time to consider replacing it. Not just because of wear and tear and old traffic patterns but also for an update.
6. There are many other simple things to consider like new shower curtains, fresh new hand towels, kitchen and entry rugs, etc.
7. Not ready to buy new but want a fresh look?? Call Creative Design and say, " I need a ROOM MAKEOVER!" We love to do it. We simply remove the items from your room(unless of course they're really heavy) and we place them back, often times in new locations.
8. ORGANIZING!! How do those closets look? Junk drawer in the kitchen? How about the pantry? With all the cool baskets and racks and storage savers out there, there just isn't a reason to be disorganized anymore. Call us if you just can't bear it and we'll take care of it.
