Spring Cleaning

I just got this cute bunny gourd.

I loosely followed the New Year's cleaning challenge from organized home. I couldn't use their order for rooms because it was still Winter here and I couldn't do the outside or the windows (until last week). I'm doing the last room today. All I have left is to clean the porch and clean up the yard.

New Shelf

I saw the idea for a shelf over a door in a magazine and I liked it, but I wasn't sure where to put it. I decided over the living room doorway in the hall would be good since it doesn't have a frame or door on it and if I stained the shelf to match the other woodwork it would balance out the hallway. We made this shelf from scrap wood from the mud room project. Hubby even cut stars out of the ends for me. It probably should have been a little more narrow, but that's the size the wood was and I didn't want to add more cutting to the project.

Some New Things

It was finally warm enough to wash windows last week so I did and I noticed the bathroom curtain was a little faded and in need of something new. I had blue curtains in the living room and I moved the valance to the bathroom and I ordered these flower valances for the living room for the Summer.

I got a new spare toilet paper caddy for the upstairs bath.

I used to have this quilt pinned to the wall by itself, but I thought a quilt shelf would make it look nicer so I got one.

Christmas Stitch

I whipped up this Christmas cross stitch recently. I like how it came out. It was pretty quick to make too.
