Week 4 Dining Room

SORRY!! I know this is 2 days late...been fight a HORRIBLE cold and this darn weather to boot. Any way...here it is - Week 4 Dining Room.

Keep with the basic plan, take everything off the windows and clean them. Take everything off the walls and clean items and walls. Empty all drawers, shelves, ledges, etc. Decide what you want to use this area for. Eating, entertaining, playing games, alternative office space, etc. DECLUTTER! Use the 4 box method, place everything that isn't usable in this room into the appropriate box. Trash, Goodwill, someplace else, or storage. Streamline down to what you will actually use in this room. Clean floors and baseboards. This is a good time to check chair/table legs to see if they need new protective caps or to be tightened. Re-hang pictures on the wall - only try using half of them. Then add more if you can't stand the empty look. According to the "Law of Household Reduction", when you decrease the number of things, you expand your space visually as well as physically.

Add a new arrangement of fresh flowers and plan to invite company for dinner!
