Spring Cleaning-Family Room

I started my spring cleaning on Monday. I am so thankful to "Real Me" at Meaningful Days for hosting this challenge. I have taken down everything on the walls and cleaned it and cleaned the walls. Today, I hope to have everything back up except for the curtains. I have decided to make new ones. Hopefully, I can get them made this weekend. I placed all the items that I took off the walls in the center of the room and it has been there since Monday. I am very thankful that we have not had any company because the room is a bit messy but it is a clean mess. Below are some photos of different areas of my "cleaning mess" and my cleaning schedule.

You go lady! Thank you for participating. Also, I needed reminding to clean door knobs and light switches. Thanks. :)

Yep, I needed reminding too. Those doornobs are often forgotten and can get pretty nasty espesially with kids and animals (the kid playing with the animals and then opening the door.)
