Spring Clean...

Can't believe I'm here, about to post about doing my housework...But yes I am! My shop has had huge demands on my time for the past two years, and so housework normally consisted of a quick flit here and there, just to keep on top of the main chores that needed to be done...No real deep clean and tidy. Although the shop is still high on my list of priorities (I was out as usual buying more stock yesterday), having given myself an extra closed day for a while, has meant time at home to get sorted, has been very welcome.

Today it was the turn of our utility/laundry room. A room we only go into when we need to throw some clothes in the washing machine, or to do some ironing. For the next few months though, it needs to serve an additional purpose, of storage facility!

So before it becomes clogged with boxes and crates, I decided to give it the deep clean...

Washing my enamelware and work surfaces...

And washing down the shelves that run around the whole room near the ceiling.

All my old jugs and vases were put away properly in the corner, with less attractive items hidden behind the cupboard doors and curtained-off areas under the sink.

Lots more housework to catch-up with throughout the whole of our house, but it feels good to have made a start...

(I love these old tiles on one of the walls...The laundry room used to be our tiny kitchen back in the day when I had my shop at home, (before the shop area later became our kitchen.) The tiles were once behind the cooker hob, which we removed when the room became redundant as the family kitchen. Hubby is going to fill in the hole where the hob was with wood (better late than never!), and we're going to cover it with more antique tiles...if we manage to collect enough.)

Hope that wasn't too mundane a post!

Have a great week,
