How To Design An Open Concept Kitchen With Mid-Century Modern Style

The distinctive characteristics of the 1930s to 1960s have become a popular design choice for homeowners. The functional and organic elements from this time period have found their way into the 21st century. Do you love clean lines, soft curves, and minimalism? If so, consider designing your open concept kitchen with mid-century modern style. Here’s the inspiration you need to bring this style to life in your home.

Choose contemporary kitchen cabinets with natural or rustic elements.

The right contemporary kitchen cabinets for your mid-century inspiration should be sleek and modern, but also have natural or rustic elements. This balance is true to the time period and will help set the tone in your open concept kitchen.

When it comes to kitchen cabinet finishes, you could easily go with dark or light depending on the color scheme you decide on. For a white and light finish, Willow Lane Cabinetry’s Urban White is the perfect pick with its high gloss finish and frameless design. If you prefer the look of dark cabinets, another great style from Willow Lane Cabinetry is the Salem Cobblestone. This cabinetry collection features a rich, dark grey stain and recessed door style that is both timeless and modern.

Mix in some antique elements to bring the theme together.

Dining room beside industrial staircase

You will find new furniture designed in similar style to the 1930s and 1960s, but if you can get your hands on some antique pieces, it can really authenticate your open concept kitchen’s theme. From retro breakfast bar stools to light fixtures, there are plenty of ways to bring a bit of the past into your modern home. Find a nearby estate sale or hit up your local thrift shop to browse for some antique décor or furnishings for your kitchen remodel.

Warm things up with some strategically placed color.

Modern kitchen and dining area

With its minimalistic vibe and functional foundation, mid-century style tends to feature more neutral color schemes with predominately white or woodsy elements. But color is an important part of a mid-century kitchen, as one of its greatest appeals is its ability to warm up a sleeker and modern aesthetic. Whether it’s colored cabinets or a bright backsplash, pick a color to add some welcoming warmth to your open concept kitchen.

Keep clutter under control to maintain minimalism in your mid-century modern kitchen.

4-26-19 WLC4-Salem Cobblestone

A mid-century modern kitchen is not the place for knick-knacks or tchotchkes. Countertops should be kept clear and any kitchen supplies should be tucked away behind cabinet doors. Storage is always a priority in a minimalistic or modern home. Make sure your kitchen is prepared to keep clutter under control by installing inside cabinet accessories. If you have a lofty pantry space, it can serve as the perfect storage solution, but for those relying solely on kitchen cabinets, don’t worry. It is possible to have a clutter free kitchen by optimizing the space in both your base and wall cabinets. Just give every item an assigned space and stay committed to a cleanup routine.

5 Fruity Spring Cocktails To Make At Home

Spring has sprung! Along with the blooming flowers and beautiful weather comes outdoor parties and fruity cocktails. Stock up your bar cabinets and say cheers in spring style with one (or more) of these juicy cocktails inspired by the season.

  1. Vodka Lemonade

What’s better than a glass of ice cold, homemade lemonade on a spring day? Spiking it with some vodka! All joking aside, this classic warm-weather drink really does pair well with a splash of your favorite vodka. Swap in a citrus variety for extra flavor and serve it with fresh thyme or mint leaves for a twist. Everyone has vodka in their bar cabinets, and the added garnishes give this adult beverage the perfect boost.

  1. Paloma

Another citrus infused cocktail that you’re going to love this spring is the Paloma. This Mexican favorite features tequila and is the prettiest shade of pink. Mix one-part tequila, three-parts grapefruit soda, and add a lime wedge — or whip up a version with fresh grapefruit juice. If going this route, follow Drizzle & Dip’s lead by mixing tequila with the juice of half of a grapefruit, agave or sugar syrup, club soda, and lime. It’s Paloma time!

  1. Apricot + Mint Cocktail

Why not take advantage of seasonal produce when whipping up your spring cocktails? Apricots are in season during the spring months, and their vibrant color and sweet flavor make them a great ingredient in drinks. This recipe from Serious Eats combines muddled apricots, mint, lemon juice, and gin for a refreshing treat. Apricots aren’t used in a cocktail often, which makes this drink unexpected but no less delicious. Offer this fruit forward libation at your next backyard gathering.

  1. Strawberry Kiwi Sangria

A slushy strawberry daiquiri will always have a place in our hearts, but there are plenty of other ways to showcase strawberries on your spring drink menu. Strawberries pack plenty of flavor and pair nicely with a variety of different liquors. They do especially well with a white wine, which is why we had to include this white sangria recipe from Kitchen Treaty. Both strawberries and kiwis are in season in spring, so this tropical twist on traditional sangria is extra sweet and juicy. Use a dry wine like sauvignon blanc, which also has citrusy notes.

  1. Jala-piña Margarita

4-19-19 WLC3-Roosevelt Tidewater

We couldn’t wrap this list up without a margarita, and since we were missing something spicy, this Jala-piña Margarita from Food & Wine was an obvious choice. Made with pineapple, limejuice, tequila and (of course) jalapenos, this margarita will definitely put a little pep in your step. Sweet pineapple and sugar balance the fiery notes in this spring cocktail that is easy to make at home, and it’s as fun to serve as it is to drink. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and mix a little cayenne pepper in your salt before rimming the glass. The bright red cayenne will give this cocktail a little color — and an extra kick!

Kitchen 101: How To Cook With Fresh Herbs

Fresh herbs are one of the many delights of spring and summer. Whether you grow them in your backyard or in pots atop your kitchen island, seasonal herbs are a culinary staple. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, there is no fresher way to add flavor to all your dishes.

If your spice rack is filled with dried herbs, but you’re intimidated to try fresh herbs in your cooking, fear no more. Here, we’ll cover the basics of cooking with fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, mint, and more!

Learn the Techniques

Fresh herbs perish quickly, so pick only as much as you need. Thoroughly rinse your herbs under running water in the kitchen sink and blot dry. For tiny leaves like rosemary, thyme or oregano, hold on to the stem with one hand and strip the leaves off with the other. For large leaves like basil, parsley or cilantro, snip with kitchen shears, or use a knife and cutting board to chiffonade your herbs. For this technique, start by bunching the stems and then cut the leaves into thin strips.

Do The Math

Fresh herbs can add brightness and fresh flavor to any recipe. But if you’re used to cooking with dried herbs, note that fresh herbs are not as concentrated a flavor. If a recipe calls for one teaspoon of dried, double or triple the amount of fresh herbs when making a substitution. After cooking with herbs from your garden or the pots on your kitchen island, it’s always suitable (and also a nice touch) to add a few fresh sprigs as a garnish.

Know Your Flavors

  • Basil: Sweet in flavor and aroma, basil is the go-to ingredient for tomato sauce and pesto. Vegan lasagna with tofu
  • Parsley: Parsley is very versatile and has a light peppery taste. Great for seasoning just about any dish, use flat leaf for cooking and curly leaf as a garnish.
  • Cilantro: A popular herb for sprinkling over tacos and grilled shrimp, cilantro has a bright flavor and is best added after cooking.
  • Rosemary: This spiky herb has a pungent flavor that goes well with eggs, chicken and lamb, or in fresh baked goods. Whether dried or fresh, use it sparingly.Omelet Cooking in Frypan Top View
  • Mint: Mint is a great addition to spring and summer salads. For a unique twist, try this watermelon salad with mint for your next picnic.
  • Thyme: With subtle hints of lemon and mint, this woody herb is used for seasoning fish, poultry, and vegetables like tomatoes and potatoes.
  • Oregano: Great for Greek salad dressing, lasagna and meatloaf, oregano has a strong, slightly bitter flavor that is hard to miss.

Don’t Be Afraid To Experiment

Now that you know the techniques, ratios and flavor profiles for cooking, branch out and find new ways to use fresh herbs. Not just for seasoning meats and veggies, you’ll find a variety of fresh herbs used in some of your favorite cocktails. From Mojitos and Juleps with fresh mint, to Lemonade for grown-ups with gin and thyme, the possibilities are endless. While stocking your bar cabinets for spring and summer, don’t forget the fresh herbs!

2019 Home Design Trends We Love For Spring

The spring of 2019 has officially sprung, and most homeowners are going over their home renovation checklist in anticipation of sunnier days ahead. Whether you’re considering a big remodel or just a little sprucing, here are the design trends we love for this splendid season.

Tile Backsplash Accent Walls
While shiplap was all the rage last spring, this year, tile accent walls are popping up in fashion-forward homes. From stunning patterns like floor to ceiling herringbone marble, to quirky and colorful glass subway tile, backsplash tile is an affordable and eye-catching way to bring big style to an otherwise bland wall.

Wood-Look Flooring

4-9-19 WLC2-Carolina Timber Wood Look Tile

Harwood floors are a staple of modern kitchen design. While aesthetically charming and a classic choice, wood flooring is susceptible to dents, scratches, and water damage. Wood-look tile flooring, on the other hand, offers the warmth and beauty of hardwood without the hassle. Durable and impervious to water, it’s the smart and trendy choice for contemporary kitchens and bathrooms this year.

Gray and Cream Cabinets
According to the Houzz Kitchen Report, white is still the top choice for all wood cabinetry. With that said, there are many different shades of white, and this spring, homeowners are opting for softer, creamier hues and gray tones along with bright white in the kitchen. Gray and cream-colored cabinets look lovely when paired with warm wood cabinetry on a kitchen island and natural stone countertops.

Quartzite Countertops
Speaking of natural stone countertops, Quartzite is a unique alternative to ever-popular granite countertops. Featuring a natural variation in color and pattern, this highly durable, natural stone looks like marble but won’t etch like marble. It’s also scratch, heat and stain resistant.

Custom Drawer Inserts

4-9-19 WLC3-Drawer Peg System with Wood Pegs

Modern kitchen design is all about form and function. Inside cabinet accessories can help you create a more organized kitchen this spring. This includes a variety of custom drawer inserts, from wood spice trays and trimmable knife blocks, to a wood drawer peg system for instant storage.

All Wood Bath Cabinetry
When in comes to bath vanities, all wood cabinetry is the ultimate choice this spring. From solid maple to birch, warm wood finishes set the tone for an inviting guest bathroom or soothing master bath. Add oil rubbed bronze, shiny chrome, or satin nickel bath hardware to complete the contemporary look.

How To Design A Stylish Yet Functional Kitchen For Foodies

If you’re like most of us, you love to eat! But do you have what it takes to call yourself a Foodie? Merriam-Webster defines a Foodie as, “a person having an avid interest in the latest food fads.” It’s not enough just to enjoy eating good food. A true Foodie also enjoys cooking and isn’t afraid to try something new, whether it’s the latest dessert trend on Pinterest or a challenging gourmet classic like Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon. If you consider yourself a Foodie, you need a contemporary kitchen that can accommodate your passion and drive as a home chef. Here, well show you how to design a stylish yet functional kitchen for a true Foodie like you!

4-2-19 WLC2-Roosevelt White with Chocolate Accent

First, design a stylish, comfortable space that flows. As a home chef, you need a clear path from the refrigerator to the sink, stove, and your kitchen island countertop. Instead of a closed room with a traditional work triangle layout, many contemporary homes feature an open concept kitchen with several zones for meal prep. Before you begin your kitchen remodel, consider the type of space you have and the way you like to work in the kitchen. Do you prefer to be alone or do you like to delegate tasks to your spouse and a handful of little sous-chefs? Make sure you have plenty of room to spread out with limited obstructions, and try to incorporate as much countertop space and solid wood cabinetry as your room will allow. Willow Lane Cabinetry offers a free online kitchen and room design service to help with your stylish yet functional new kitchen layout.

Here are a few dream features you may want to include in a kitchen fit for a Foodie:

4-2-19 WLC3-Two-Tier Chrome Cookware Organizer

Next, add those custom details that take your kitchen to the next level. Inside cabinet accessories help to create a functional, organized kitchen that any Foodie would crave. Keep cookware at the ready with a two-tiered chrome organizer that fits neatly within a base cabinet. Make sure your spices are easily accessible near the stove by installing a door-mounted spice rack in your solid wood cabinetry. Keep a chef’s most important tools safely tucked away in a drawer with a trimmable knife block made from maple hardwood. Make baking a breeze with a heavy-duty mixer lift. Install these and other inside cabinet accessories from Willow Lane Cabinetry, and enjoy your Foodie status in your dream kitchen.

Tips For Choosing A Wall Color That Complements Your Solid Wood Cabinetry And Flooring

Wall color is an extremely powerful aspect of any room design. It sets the tone and fills the space with a unique style and ambience — depending on the shades you choose. Color can also have a profound impact on your mood. That is why it is so important to choose wisely when settling on a wall shade that will complement your solid wood cabinetry, flooring, furniture and decor. To ensure you make a fantastic decision for your home, here are some tips to consider when picking out a paint color.

Choose a color scheme inspired by your existing décor.

If your flooring and furnishings are somewhat neutral, you may be able to add some brighter colors to your walls. For example, white cabinetry paired with cheerful yellow or blue walls. However, if you already have a strong color scheme going, including your rugs, throw pillows, lamps or other décor, it is smart to maintain this color scheme.

But beware — too much of one color can create an overpowering, monochromatic look that can quickly become exhausting to live with. If you want to continue with your color palette but don’t want it to be too overwhelming, utilizing a lighter shade of the same hue might be a better alternative.

Opt for white.

WLC2-Highland Dove Gray

When in doubt, pick out a nice eggshell white shade. This neutral will go with almost anything and is easy to paint over when you find a shade you’re truly excited about. If white is too bland for your tastes, pale gray or creamy beige will also do the trick. Neutral walls create a serene, soothing space, and are the ideal choice for creating a seamless look in open concept kitchens.

Match undertones.

Try examining your solid wood cabinetry, flooring, and furniture for underlying tones. Similar materials often contain similar neutral undertones. Painting your walls with one of these neutrals will tie all aspects together. It also allows you to get creative with your decorating by adding vibrant pops of color that can be easily changed with the seasons.

Use dark colors cautiously.

Antique furniture in dark bedroom

Deep hues can be beautiful on paper and offer an elegant timeless look. However, once these dark shades are on your walls, it might feel like you’ve moved into a small, underground hideaway. Dark shades and jewel tones can be stunning — but they are usually much too overpowering for an entire room and can make a space feel cramped. Instead, use dark shades in larger rooms or for an accent wall.

Be consistent.

Once you’ve chosen a color you like that’s suitable for the room you’re painting, try to stick to similar colors when you paint other rooms in your house. It’s fun to give each room its own character, but your whole home will flow better if your rooms are somewhat cohesive and complimentary in tone. For a lesson on basic color theory, click here.

Continue with the theme.

If you have a home focused around a specific theme, such as farmhouse chic or tropical oasis, you should opt for colors that embrace your current atmosphere. It’s likely your furniture, cabinetry, flooring and existing decor coincide with this theme, so it’s important to continue with colors that you believe will flatter your current style.

How To Design A Clean And Contemporary Bathroom

Do you often find yourself flipping through the pages of your favorite home magazine in search of contemporary bathroom ideas? Have you ever been envious of the final result when watching a bathroom remodel on television? Do you sometimes spend hours scrolling through Pinterest and pinning solid wood cabinetry to your “Dream Bathroom” board? Do you look at your dated bathroom and dream about giving your space a modern makeover? If you answered, “Yes” to any of these questions, it’s time to make a change! Here, we’ll teach you how to design a clean and contemporary bathroom in 2019.

Minimalism In Mind

3-26-19 WLC2-Asher Collection Pulls in Satin Nickel

The key to designing a clean and contemporary bathroom is to keep clutter to a minimum. This means eliminating frilly details and fussy décor, and having plenty of storage space in the form of baskets, bins and bathroom cabinets. Speaking of bathroom cabinets, Shaker solid wood cabinetry features clean lines that suit an up-to-date theme, especially when paired with contemporary knobs, pulls, and bath hardware in satin nickel or polished chrome.

Contemporary Colors

A contemporary color scheme is probably more varied than you might think. From deep jewel tones and bright hues to monochromatic neutrals and subdued shades taken straight from nature, it’s really anything goes. For inspiration, all the major paint companies have released their picks for the colors that are on point this year, including soft gray Metropolitan by Benjamin Moore, bold Blueprint by Behr, and warm Cavern Clay by Sherwin Williams.

Earthy Elements

Contemporary design was once considered cold and slick, but not anymore. Current trends strike a welcome balance by adding in warm, earthy elements while still opting for simplicity. Think textural bamboo blinds, woven baskets, jute area rugs, glass shower doors, natural stone countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and tropical houseplants for a pop of green.

Tile Trends

3-26-19 WLC3-Dimensions Graphite Porcelain Tile

Contemporary design is all about creating visual flow. Tile is the ultimate choice for flooring and backsplash walls in a bathroom. Aesthetically, it helps to create a soothing, seamless space. It also adds modern style, whether you opt for trendy wood look tile, sophisticated marble, or classic subway tile with a current twist. Undoubtedly stunning, tile is also a practical choice. It is easy to clean, and also impervious to water — something you definitely need to consider when updating a bathroom.

If you’re tired of wistfully looking at magazine pages and TV home makeovers while dealing with an outdated bathroom, why not do something about it? Contact Willow Lane Cabinetry and find out how we can help bring your new bathroom to life!

9 Must-Have Spring And Summer Spices To Keep In Your Spice Rack

Spring and summer can be a busy time of the year. Kids are off from school and the warm weather provides many opportunities for fun activities. Sometimes it can be difficult to sacrifice time with your family in order to cook a big meal. At the same time, all that outdoor fun can really work up an appetite.

Spicing up your food is a great way to make cooking quicker while still being delicious and full of flavor. There are literally hundreds of spices to choose from, but if you’re new to the spice world, you may be confused where to start. Thankfully, we are here to help! Here are a few must-have spices for your kitchen cabinets, perfect for spring and summer.

  1. Sea Salt & Whole Peppercorns

You most likely already have these two spices hiding somewhere in your solid wood cabinetry. They are the most commonly used spices and arguably the most versatile. However, try replacing your regular salt and pepper with sea salt and whole peppercorns that you can manually ground. Pre-ground salt and pepper can lose a lot of flavor through processing. It makes a difference to opt for something more high quality and pure, since these are probably your most used spices.

  1. Cayenne Pepper

Spicy chicken drumsticks

Cayenne pepper is a hot chili spice that has been used in many dishes for thousands of years. Cayenne pepper is great for adding a little heat to your cooking, and it is also believed to have several health benefits, including congestion relief, pain relief, and boosting the metabolism. Use it in Spicy Beef Chili, and BBQ rubs.

  1. Cinnamon

Cinnamon is another commonly used spice known for its sweet but fiery flavor. Cinnamon is a kitchen staple because it can be used in both sweet and tangy dishes, from French toast to Cinnamon Curry Rice. Cinnamon comes in both stick form and ground.

  1. Garlic Powder

Garlic powder is an easy addition to savory recipes. Adding a dash of garlic powder to chicken breast, steak, vegetables, or pasta sauce will instantly take your food from plain to delectable. And don’t forget the garlic bread!

  1. Ground Ginger

Ginger has been known to help fight common colds and the flu, and may even aid in curing stomachaches, vomiting and nausea. Use it to flavor soups, stir fry, and even spring and summer desserts like Carrot Cake.

  1. Dried Oregano

Lasagna with meat and spinach

Oregano is a must-have if you enjoy Italian dishes like lasagna, homemade pizza, and Parmesan chicken. It’s also the signature spice in Greek salad dressing.

  1. Vanilla Extract

If you do any type of baking, the recipe will usually call for vanilla extract. Muffins, cakes, brownies and pies all share this vital ingredient. For the best flavor, opt for pure vanilla extract over artificial.

  1. Nutmeg

Nutmeg is a great addition to pies and cookies, but it also can delightfully season chicken and even spinach! Nutmeg adds a touch of warm spice to coffee, tea and other beverages. But be sure to sprinkle it on sparingly — ground nutmeg packs a powerful punch.

  1. Paprika

Paprika is a zesty spice that comes in sweet, smoked, and hot varieties. It can be used in a variety of dishes to add a unique peppery flavor and an appetizing dash of deep red color. It’s especially nice when added to roasted potatoes or fish.

Try to organize your spices in either a tray that is nestled in a drawer near the stove, or in a door-mounted rack in your solid wood cabinetry. These inside cabinet accessories from Willow Lane Cabinetry are the perfect solution for storing all of your spices in an organized and easily accessible manner.

5 Houseplants That Improve Your Home’s Air Quality

Kitchen hoods are a must-have for eliminating cooking odors, and can help to clean the air in an open concept kitchen. But what about those nasty VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) swirling around our homes? According to the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency), VOCs are potentially harmful gasses that can be emitted from a number of household sources, from the paint on our walls to the cleaning products we use on a daily basis. Thankfully, there is a simple, green solution to further help improve indoor air quality — houseplants! These air-purifying plants help to create a healthier environment for you and your family, and can add a touch of natural beauty to your home as well!

English Ivy

This elegant houseplant has trailing (and climbing) foliage in varying shades of green. There are several varieties to pick from, but all have been proven effective in helping to clear the air of VOCs like benzene, formaldehyde, xylene and toluene. Studies also show English Ivy can help reduce mold spores in the home. English Ivy prefers full or part sun, and can be propagated from stem cuttings.

Dracaena

Ever popular, this houseplant is known for its narrow, upright foliage that features variegated shades of green. Dracaena is low maintenance and perfect for containers. It likes indirect sunlight and can grow anywhere from one to 20 feet tall, making it perfect for your TV room cabinetry shelves or a large corner of your open concept kitchen. According to the famous NASA Clean Air Study, Dracaena is one of the best plants for removing formaldehyde from the air, as well as benzene, trichloroethylene, xylene, and other VOCs.

Gerbera Daisy

3-19-19 WLC2-Gerbera Daisies

This spring favorite has big blossoms in bright, beautiful colors, including red, yellow, pink, white, orange, or purple! They grow well in containers and would make a lovely centerpiece for a kitchen table. Gerbera Daisies need lots of sunshine and can grow to be a foot tall or more. Unlike other plants, Gerbera Daisies continue to release oxygen throughout the night and can help improve sleep when placed in a bedroom.

Peace Lily

This tropical plant thrives in low light and can help remove benzene, trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, and other pollutants. It’s easy to care for and requires little light or water to thrive. Best of all, the Peace Lily has beautiful white flowers and shiny green leaves, making it a lovely and showy addition to the home.

Snake Plant

Master bathroom in new construction home

This air purifying houseplant has tall, dramatic foliage. According to the aforementioned NASA study, the Snake Plant absorbs formaldehyde, nitrogen oxide, benzene, xylene, and trichloroethylene. It likes lots of bright light and humidity, making it well suited for placement in a sunny bathroom window.

While these plants can help purify the air in your home, they can also be toxic, so be sure to keep them away from children and pets.

2 Major Ways Your Home Affects Your Mood (And What You Can Do About It)

Your home is a reflection of your personal style, and should be your favorite place to spend time. Whether you are entertaining in your open concept kitchen, working in your home office, or curling up in your comfortable bed at the end of a long day, the choices you make when designing a home are more than just purely aesthetic. No doubt, the state of your home’s interior can also have a positive or negative affect on your mood. Here, we’ll discuss why, and what you can do to make your home a happier place — from solid wood cabinetry (and other storage solutions) to the paint colors you choose.

Color

3-12-19 WLC2-Aspen White Shaker

Psychologists (and interior decorators) have long believed color can affect your mood. In the kitchen, white creates a sense of freshness and yellow promotes warmth and happiness. Yellow also stimulates the appetite, making it a great wall color choice for aspiring home chefs. In fact, yellow kitchens are so popular; they can actually increase the value of your home! Opt for creamy butter or wheat tones on the walls, paired with crisp white cabinets, for the perfect kitchen mix.

If you have an open concept kitchen, yellow hues are generally neutral enough to also carry throughout the rest of the home. Of course, personal preference should also come into play. If you’re not a fan of yellow, you could opt for shades of white, brown, or gray to create a seamless, soothing color scheme from room to room.

Colors like red and orange are energetic and exciting, but can also cause agitation when overdone. With that said, they can have a dramatic impact when used sparingly, in bold, decorative pops. Think throw pillows in the TV room or small appliances in the kitchen. Cool shades of blue, purple, and green are perfect for the bedroom or TV room, because they are calming and promote relaxation.

Clutter

Master bedroom

Like color, clutter can have a profound affect on your mood. In fact, a messy home doesn’t just add to our stress and anxiety levels — there is also a link between clutter and depression. For a happier home, here are some tips to get the clutter under control:

  • Sort through your home, and discard or donate anything adding to the mess.
  • Have a basket for incoming bills and mail, file important papers immediately, and shred or recycle the rest.
  • Make your bed immediately after you wake up each day.
  • Stay on top of cleaning by breaking chores into smaller, more manageable daily tasks, or make chores more fun with these suggestions.
