It turned out that I held true to the “the year of paint” thing, and earlier this Fall I partnered with CIL to visit a bunch of Home Depot stores and meet with customers to help them choose their perfect paint colours..When CIL contacted me again this Holiday season to see if I wanted to come up with a fun little paint project to share, I knew just what I would do.

You saw last week in my Holiday.that we just got some new living room furniture.Well, we have this little table that now looks so sad next to all of the furniture.

It was already painted a grey, but the grey was a little too greeny/browny and just didn’t look too good next to the fancy new stuff.I mean, it wasn’t terrible, but it just bugged me, ya know?.

The top was getting a little marked up too from a few years of holding drinks and snacks..

The great thing about this project is that I didn’t have to go out and buy a whole bunch of paint.Bathrooms seem to be dust magnets and all that moisture makes it so the dust gets in behind things and then sticks!

It’s a bad situation all around, but if you get back there at least every once in awhile, you’ll stay in good shape.. Clean Underneath!.You might not think about cleaning underneath the things in your bathroom on a regular basis, but just think about all of the germs and dirt that can get flung about when you’re washing your hands.

You might be surprised at what you find if you look under your pedestal sink!Be sure to get under toilets, cabinets, chairs, rugs, and garbage cans as well.. Let your cleaners really soak in and do their work!.
