Monday is a good day to tackle the main living areas that have been used heavily over the weekend. Below are pictures of the areas that I'll be cleaning up every Monday.
This is what you first see when you enter my home, so this has GOT to stay all neat and clean! In the area above, I'll be checking the tablecloth to see if it needs washing. Seasonally or during holidays, I'll change out the decor. The basket below the buffet holds board games and it may need to be straightened.
This area is a reading nook that is off of the kitchen and dining room. It's a strange spot! We decided to make it usable and so put in some large chairs ... You can see how it fits in the scheme of things in the photos below. I'll be going through the magazine rack and table top in this area. I'll also be washing those blankets every other week or so. They are used to keep the cat hair off of the fabric!
In the foyer, you can see a bookshelf and entry table near the front door in the photo above. I'll be going through these each week and clearing out old catalogs or magazines. I take books that I no longer want and either list them on Bookmooch.com or trade them at a local used book store so that my husband can get some books on tape. The small closet near the front door can get messy, so I'll check it and see if it needs straightening. That closet going down the hallway to the bedrooms is the laundry room, but that's another day!
Here's another photo to show how this area gets used! Of course, this means that it's sometimes a bit messier than I would like - LOL!
Blessings on your day ... Kris

From the looks of it you have a very beautiful home, looks to be really spacious!
I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, a mom to two wonderful teens, and a daughter of the King. My
current focus is on becoming a better homemaker and caretaker of my home and family. You'll usually find my nose
in a book and I am currently making my first quilt. I love making new friends and comments are always welcome!
