What's worse than a dirty ceiling fan??

Cleaning a dirty ceiling fan!!

It is always a bigger job than just the fan, because the army of dust raids your floors, counters, beds, or carpet. Well those soldiers are MIA now because I've found a new way to combat them! Using an old pillow case, cover your fan blades and wipe them clean with your hands and fingers. Not only does the dust stay contained, but every crevice of your fan is spotless! When finished, turn your pillow case inside out and shake off the dust outside. Don't forget to launder inside out as well.

Tea Time Table

...or Lemonade as we lovingly call it in our home. This wooden table and chairs from IKEA will soon be transformed into a charming place for tea parties, coloring, crafts, or homework after a coat of Aqua Chiffon Interior Satin Latex Paint by Olympic Premium. I am considering covering with a layer of clear fast-dry polyurethane to make crayon clean up a bit easier, but it takes away from the satin finish, so we'll have to wait and see.
