Project Clean Up 2020...Week 10: Den

Right on target, the den is finished! This is the room that the village is in at Christmastime and since the village was still up going into the clean up of this room, it took no time to organize as I went. Kudos to my hubby and leaving the village up to this point! No, seriously...

There are a ton of books and cds (yes, cd's) that always have to be gone through in this room and since it is the gateway to our pool area, a lot of glass to be cleaned as well! 

Here is how I did it; 

__ Open Windows

__Vacuum sofas

__Spot clean sofas, if applicable

__Launder throw pillows and blankets

__Dust shelves, furniture and decor

__Clean lamps and lampshades

__Wash windows and sills

__Take out and wash window screens

__Clean TV screen

__Carefully dust electronics

__Tidy electronics wires. Tuck nicely out of sight. Label them, if practical.

__Sort through music and DVD collections if in this room. Purge things that no longer suit your families interests. Organize what is left in an attractive manner.

__Sort books and magazines. Donate or recycle ones that no longer suit your families interests.

__Wash hard plastic children's toys with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. Launder stuffed toys. Donate or store toys that your children have grown too old for.

__Wash switch plates

__Wash walls and trim as needed

__Wash doors and door knobs

__Wash floor registers and other vent covers

__Clean floors

Other things I added....

__ Rearrange books and decor for a change of scenery on left and right shelves

__ Convert CD's from 2 shelves to just one by stacking instead of lining up.

__ Arrange a few of the larger toys on the shelf to allow a clean floor. Place smaller toys into a basket slid under the shelf. Toss 3 of 4 containers holding wooden toys. Keep larger wooden toys in the 1 kept container and add all wood toys to a large clear container.

__ Clean out the toy basket and donate any no longer used toys (this was overflowing)

__ Clean out suitcases (each one houses paperwork, catalogs, blog papers, magazine cutouts, design pages, etc...

We are just in need of new couches as ours were defective and the leather started flaking. We also need a new coffee table as ours fell apart. Watching out for new ones soon! Coming next week...Pantry! 

 

See you soon!
