Spring Cleaning

This year I plan on doing a thorough Spring Cleaning. Though it isn't Spring yet, I am getting a jump start this weekend by committing to decluttering one kitchen cabinet.

I found Martha Stewart's article on Spring Cleaning: http://www.marthastewart.com/267295/spring-cleaning-checklist which also includes a handy checklist: http://images.marthastewart.com/images/content/web/pdfs/2007Q2/la_0407_spring_cleaning.pdf.

Anyone want to join me in Spring Cleaning plans? Do you have a checklist that you follow and would like to share?

Blessings,
Jennie

My life has been one big Spring Cleaning event for the past 2 months.   ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) ;)

That said.. I am always in for something like this.  Even since we have moved there is more going out to be donated. 

So.Many.Books!

Shelly:
I'm in. We're getting ready to sell the house and move cross country, so I've already started a bit, but you all can help keep me going  :)

Shelly--you're moving?  Back to North Carolina?

I am planning a kitchen refresh so my spring cleaning will be first done in the kitchen.

I'm just doing a brain dump here so this is not necessarily in order.

*Clean each cupboard and drawer inside and out. Especially clean the accumulated grease and dust buildup.
*Declutter each cupboard/drawer.  Get rid of stuff I don't use.  Match lids to containers and get rid of items without mates.  Find alternate storage places for seasonal items or things I want to keep but don't use everyday.
*Clean each appliance thoroughly.
*Remove wallpaper remnants from bulkhead that was formerly covered by a drop light.
*Sand/smooth/fix/whatever the portion of ceiling that was formerly covered by the drop light.
*Paint ceiling.
*Paint walls.
*Repair/caulk/paint baseboards and trim.
*Prime/paint/install crown molding.
*Paint pantry door.
*Pull out refrigerator and clean behind and under it.
*Pull out stove and clean behind and under it.
*Clean entire tile floor.
*Clean table, chairs and swivel bar stools with wood cleaner.
*Clean ceiling fan.
*Clean and put back kitchen decor.

I don't have any particular deadline for this but I do want to get it done as soon as I can.

*Replace door/drawer pulls.
