BASEBOARDS
Something that many people overlook in their home is their baseboard. It gets taken for granted. Our eyes are focused much higher usually, but if your baseboards are dirty and knicked up it can make your whole house look dirty. I recently made a concious effort to thoroughly clean my guest/boys bathroom and the biggest difference I made (besides closing the lid) was painting the baseboards. The paint had been worn off the board closest to the bathtub from, I'm guessing, water being splashed onto it by my little stinkers, I mean angels. A fresh coat of paint, (and lots of bleach) made this bathroom sparkle.
A great tip for painting baseboards is to, of course, have that touch up paint ready at all times, along with a good 1 inch angled brush. The next thing I always keep on hand is an old slat from a vertical blind. This is invaluable for painting baseboards where there is carpet. Slide one edge under the board and over the carpet and you've got the perfect drip catcher! Now go clean up that house, it's the new year already and you want to start off right!
