99% of the year, I handle the house cleaning here at Content. That includes all the daily cleaning and tidying to keep up with by John and I and our many businesses run from the house, plus all the cleaning associated with our Airbnb guests. With over 3,500 square feet of living space, I’d say I’ve been become somewhat of a cleaning professional.

But even with all that time vacuuming, moping and dusting, once a year, I hire actual professionals to give Content a thorough spring cleaning. Making sure to cast a bright light on all the nooks and crannies over looked during the winter months.

Now that we're a few years into home ownership, we've slowly budgeted and planned for some exterior projects.

Mainly, we still have a lot of yard space, and not a lot of direction or focus with what you do with it.

So, last year we decided to plan for a fence installation in spring of 2019, and now, here we are.

With the arrival of the equinox, we’re inching closer and closer to spring weather! And even though our spring to-do list keeps growing longer and longer, I’m taking this weekend to focus a bit on our interior.

We’ve come up with 10 Decorating Finds Under $30 to Refresh Your Home for Spring that will have your home feeling bright and inviting just in time for the warm weather.

Though important and necessary, home maintenance priorities such as gutter cleaning, HVAC servicing and deck repairs can take the wind out of any DIYer’s sail. But don’t worry, there are a ton of budget (and TIME) friendly projects that you can start planning now, while it’s still chilly outside, and be ready just in time for Spring.

One of the easiest project you can DIY this Spring is repainting your front door. A fresh coat of paint, on the front door, can help your entry way take on any personality.
