Master planning with a Design to Value approach

Don’t hesitate to use a thermometer either!You might look crazy but at least you’ll know it’s really clean!.

So I let the sink soak for a bit while the temperature of the water comes down.I take this time to grab an old toothbrush and scrub around the edges of the sink and the faucet..I just dip the brush into the hot vinegar water and use that.

Also, if I have any caked on mess, like ketchup that somehow managed to splash up onto the faucet, I take a rag, dip it into the hot water and just let it hang out on the mess for a minute to completely take it away.. Once the water in the sink has cooled, I pull the plug!I like to take my toothbrush again and get into the cracks around the drain and also get any grimeyness out of the drain itself.. I’m pretty sure that all those dark spots are all coffee stains from all the coffee we drink around here!.

The next step is for those of us with old, well-worn sinks.

If your sink gets dings and scratches in it like mine does, you can gently buff them out using one of these green scrubbies..It was time for the de-ickification (great word, right?!)

First I got these fabrics that I loved and that made me feel the exact opposite of ick and made some.10 minute pillow covers.

.. Then I gathered up my courage – all of it – and I started to paint the paneled walls.The whole walls.
