As
for me, I’m currently in love with my purple Dyson vacuum cleaner
because it really helps in my on-going battle against cat hair and
dust. I also try to keep dirt away as organically as possible. I like
the Method products, but will often reach for my bottle of vinegar or
box of Borax.
I’ve also vowed to keep my reno goals simple:
try to stay organized, and experiment with some colour. My drab white
walls are crying out for a splash of excitement.
My fellow editor, Brandie Weikle (
parentcentral.ca), has already offered me the use of her colour wheel. I'm thinking green.
