Spring Cleaning

We did all our Spring Cleaning before moving in, but the real challenge is sorting through all the stuff we’ve unpacked.  After going for six months without some things, we realized we didn’t miss a lot of it.  We’re in a smaller house now, so it’s time to downsize!  I’ve sold a few things on Craigslist already, and the rest we plan to dispose of in a garage sale.  Last weekend Dave replaced all of the old, faulty light switches, plugs and switch plates (for some, appliance plugs would just fall right out of them, and wouldn’t stay in).  He’s also finished most of the baseboard, installed a cat door for Rebel, and built shelves in the garage for more storage.  We still need to sand down and paint all the doors (they got spackle and paint drops on them), and replace the doorknobs.  We need to decide what color to paint the kitchen, too.  Originally it was all a very dark olive green that sucked all the light out the room, and we started to paint it beige like the living room.  But beige walls with white cabinets was just too bland, so we stopped halfway.  One accent wall is still the original green (and I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it, although it was the previous owners who painted it).  Now I’ve got a half-and-half kitchen, and I’m not sure where to go from here.
