Easy Way to Spruce Up Your Home

When we were doing some spring cleaning over the weekend, I took down all the screens off the downstairs windows that overlook our backyard to wash the windows.  

Once the windows were all sparkly and while the screens were still drying in the yard, my husband and I started talking about how great the windows looked both from the inside and outside of our home without the screens.  We decided we so rarely open those windows that we'd like to try life without the screens, so we put them in the garage instead of back on the windows.

And I'm loving it!!  The house seems clearer, less cluttered feeling, and the views out the windows are amazing!

It was an easy, quick, totally free thing to do to spruce up our home, but for some reason we've lived here 6 years and I've never thought of it before!
