Here in western New York we wait agonizingly for spring to arrive, starting in like...January. We are nothing if not zealously optimistic. We had a really nice March for a change. The week of the 15th I was off work and it was mild and sunny every day!
I had planned to get a lot of cleaning done, but by Wednesday it was time to move on to more enjoyable activities. I started by giving my kitchen a little "facelift" with new satin nickel knobs on the cabinets and curtains for the windows. It didn't stop there though-matching cushions on the chairs and a tablecloth came next.
The kitchen looked so nice that the dining room chairs began to bother me (the plaid upholstery on them no longer went with anything in the room). So I disassembled them and covered them with a satiny gold fabric that matches the valences in the room.
The week ended with me feeling quite satisfied, although not as caught up on housework as I would've liked to have been. I did buy a new vacuum though, to replace the one that no longer would turn on. I've even used it once too.
