Is it just me, or do these
crisp, sunny, winter days put you in the mood to clean too?
There is just something about them that makes me want to raise my blinds and Windex the glass till it sparkles.
Once I was in the most beautiful home. Not the fanciest I'd ever walked into, but definitely one of the most peaceful and beautiful. There were no luxury bells and whistles about her home, but it was truly beautiful.
We spent a good amount of time in her kitchen, and I always remember how warm and welcoming her space was. And I remember her windows. The blinds were raised and the glass in her windows shined and glimmered.
She told me she used plain old Windex and paper towels to shine them up like that.
She gave me a tour of her home and I'll never forget her guest bedroom. The walls were painted an aqua turquoise color. Picture the blue waters of the Caribbean and that was the color on her walls. The two windows in the simply decorated room were open and the sheer window panels were blowing in the gentle evening breeze.
It was so beautiful and relaxing.
I always think about her home when I raise my blinds and Windex my glass.
It is such a simple and quick thing and yet it always makes the house feel so clean and pretty.
