Old Window Turned Wine Cork Board

It's a new year, and I am ready to get organized, but no boring bulletin boards for me. I've been dying to make a "cork" board of my own using an old window that I bought for $2 and wine corks....come see how.

Washing Windows Like The Pros

I cannot take credit for this discovery; however I can tell you that it works! In my opinion this is the best way for washing windows. A cleaning company shared this tip with me four ...»
years ago, I was using glass cleaner, vinegar and newspapers. Nothing I did completely cleaned the window. This is the only thing I use now.

Items Needed for Washing Windows

(All items except the Dawn were purchased at Dollar Tree)

Dawn Dish Detergent

Small Bowl or Bucket

Scrubby Pads

Absorbent Cloths

Squeegee

Steps

1. Place a few drops of Dawn in your container with a couple inches of water.

2. Dip the scrubby pad into the water and squeeze out.

3. Scrub the glass. The Dawn along with the scrubby gets the dirt off and does not leave a residue.

4. Squeegee the window, starting at the top and working down, wiping off the "blade" each time with a cloth.

5. Wipe around the edges to absorb any leftover water and dirt.

Who would have known this is all it takes to get professional results? Give it a try and see if you like the Washing Windows like The pros. http://chaoticallycreative.com/2012/03/16/wa...

used to be broken into two rooms-the main kitchen and a small breakfast nook. They combined the two rooms and completely gutted the entire space. The only original part to this kitchen is the studs. It was a complete overhaul and completely worth it! Check out the entire post here...http://www.retaildiyet.blogspot.com/2012/01/kitchen-renovation.html
