You should now be fully prepared to have the shiniest, happiest-looking kitchen ever!.

That kind of situation should definitely raise some red flags.. -Plan to do this when the weather is cool.Throwing stuff out is hard work!.

-Talk about your plan of attack beforehand.Even though this is a decluttering quick-fix, it still takes a lot of time.One area of the house per day seems to be a pretty reasonable expectation for what you’ll be able to get done.. -If you have any major renovation materials to get rid of, this would be the time to do it!

Have a plan to get as much of that stuff taken care of as well.. -Have back up ready.We ran into a messy situation with a turkey in a freezer that had been unplugged for 2 months and had to call on the help of 4 different family members to help us deal with getting the freezer out as well as taking care of the kids while we de-stunk the house.

I’m not kidding.. -Have a small area where you set things off to the side that you want to donate instead of throw in the dumpster, but don’t get too caught up in it.

This is the time for big, widespread changes in your home!There was some bluey paint left on some of the stamps, but I think that just adds to it.. Side note: Around here, they sometimes call Adirondack chairs “Muskoka chairs”.

It drives me batty.End of side note..

This railing will soon be coming down.Chris is working on building some big wide steps leading down to the lawn instead of the little narrow ramp that was there before.
