Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Spring Cleaning the Natural Way

on

 More and more households are ditching the chemicals in favor of non-toxic , all natural cleaners.  So when you spring clean your home use these natural products found right in your pantry, instead!


1. Baking Soda ~ Baking soda is good for scouring surfaces without scratching, and it’s a great deodorizer.

2. White vinegar ~White Vinegar is a must have in every home! Use to get rid of mold, bacteria, and germs, great in combination with baking soda.

3. Rubbing Alcohol ~ Rubbing alcohol kills bacteria and germs and evaporates quickly.

4. Salt ~ Salt is good for scouring and removing coffee and tea stains

5. Lemon Juice ~ Lemon juice kills germs and bacteria, acts like a natural 
bleach, and hides odors.

6. Olive Oil ~ Olive oil is good for polishing surfaces.

7. Hydrogen Peroxide ~ Hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria and mold and gets many organic stains out of fabrics.
