Project Clean Up 2020...Week 9: Dining Room


Ugh! When a bout of Vertigo hits, it really gets you down! 1 1/2 days really put me down and I mean down, to the couch, no moving. So, would I get Week 9 finished for you....ever??? Of course. Just took some speeding up! The bad thing is that now I am behind on week 10, but I will get there. So, how do you think it went? It was a room that definitely has some nooks and crannies to clean....you know, tedious work. I had 2 sets of curtains to hand wash and dry, scrubbing out a wine fridge, organizing a buffet, scrubbing down 8 chairs and a table along with each square of the floor, but it is done and looks fabu!



Here is how I did it:

__ Open windows

__ Wash curtains

__ Wipe down table and chairs

__ Wipe down or dust other furnishings

__ Clean chair pads, if applicable

__ Polish table, if necessary

__ Create a pretty spring vignette on table

__ Dust any displayed china or serving dishes

__ Launder table linens

__ Shine silverware

__ Dust art

__ Wash windows and window sills. Take out and wash window screens

__ Wash switch plates

__ Wash walls and trim

__ Wash doors and door knobs

__ Wash floor registers and other vent covers

__ Clean floors

Added my own items as well; 

__ Clean out and organize buffet. This drawer especially, wax melts, candles and my flea market displays. 



__  Go through the immense amount of vases and glassware in large drawers.





__ Remove all wine from fridge, scrub out and vacuum coils behind. Toss anything that may be leaking and get rid of anything that we will not drink. Add fresh bottles to rack on top.




__ Dust down Jukebox and scrub off any scuffs from lighted area. 

__ Remove all frames from the walls. Dust and wipe with window cleaner.




__ Add fresh decor to the buffet to bring a "pop" of color to the room. Add fresh twigs from outdoors to the vase.




__ Scrub down mini table. Add most recent corks and add a pop of color to the underside of table.




What do you think? Hope to get Week 10 to you on time, but give me a lil leeway. Project Clean Up stops for nothing...just a little delayed. See you soon!
