5 tasks to tackle right now — and a couple that can wait until fall
KATIE HOLDEFEHR | RealSimple.com hen it’s time to spring-clean, we may think we have to tackle every single item on the to-do list right away. But actually, there are some home-maintenance tasks that it’s better to wait until fall to complete. To help you sort out which things to spring-clean ASAP and which can be safely put off for a few more months, we’ve compiled the list below. Then, you can breathe a little easier knowing that it doesn’t have to all get done right away.
W
SPRING CLEAN NOW
Dryer Vent Because a buildup of lint in the dryer vent is a potential fire hazard, it’s a good idea to clean out the dryer vent ASAP. Also remember to clear out the lint filter after every use. Outdoor Space If you plan to enjoy your backyard this spring and summer, getting it ready should be near the top of your to-do list. Before you start mulching or planting anything new, this typically means starting by clearing out any debris, sticks and leaves that have collected over the winter, as well as sweeping the deck or any patio areas. Clearing out the front yard will also boost your home’s curb appeal. Textiles Most of us already clean our bath towels and bedding regularly
(right?), but in the spring, add other textiles, like window curtains, throw pillows, blankets and stuffed animals to that list. The reason: Besides eliminating germs and bacteria, it will cut down on springtime allergens so your entire family will sniffle less. Windows Especially if winter weather has left your windows streaked and dirty, spring is a great time to wash them. Plus, washing the windows now will let you enjoy a clear view and more sunlight all spring and summer long. If you’re washing the windows yourself, consider investing in squeegees with expandable poles so you can avoid getting on a ladder.
will create more streaks), and follow these steps. If you have particularly high windows or aren’t sure you want to take on the project yourself, it’s a smart idea to be safe and hire a professional. Air-conditioning vents Before you turn on the AC for the season, clean all of the vents around your home so you and your family can avoid breathing in dust. Use the nozzle or brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to suck up all of the dust and prevent it from circulating in the air.
Remember to choose a wind-free, overcast day (a sunny day

OPEN A NEW DOOR A step-by-step guide to painting kitchen cabinets KATHRYN WEBER | TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY
If you’re wondering how to paint kitchen cabinets, you’ve come to the right place. Giving your cabinets a makeover can dramatically change the look and feel of your kitchen, whether you’re opting for a clean white paint or a more adventurous dark or colorful hue. There are some key things you need to know about how to paint kitchen cabinets, as the process is different from learning how to paint a room or how to paint a wall. For one, it almost always takes longer than you think — often twice as long, says Hunter MacFarlane, a project expert with Lowe’s based in North Carolina. If you’re dealing with fairly straightforward wood cabinets, though, there’s no reason you can’t DIY. Here, two experts share the step-by-step process for painting kitchen cabinets. 1
START SMALL
The kitchen is a central spot in any home and is probably heavily trafficked. That’s why MacFarlane recommends testing out your cabinet-painting skills in a smaller, less noticeable room first. “If you have a small bathroom with a vanity that needs repainting, that’s a good place to train yourself,” he says. If you start here and feel like you’re in over your head, you may need to call in a pro for the kitchen cabinets. 2
PREPARE THE AREA
“Preparation is everything in painting,” MacFarlane says. Many people want to jump right in because they’re excited to see how it will look (and who can blame them?), but it’s imperative to cover every surface, empty all drawers and move everything out of cabinets (and the appliance garage, if you have one) and into another room in the house before getting started. If you can, move appliances over or out of the way, and cover your countertops, overlapping up the wall if possible, to avoid any splatters there. 12
Novices may also want to tape off the ceiling, and any spots where the cabinets meet the wall, with painter’s tape, just to be safe.
5
APPLY PRIMER
MacFarlane says he’s “old school” in recommending always using a primer on cabinets 3 REMOVE AND CLEAN ALL DOORS, before painting. It adds another step to the process, DRAWERS AND HARDWARE but it does a great job of sealing the cabinets and These don’t have to be painted in the kitchen. It’s preparing them to receive the final paint, he says. Start inside at the back of the cabinet frame, and better to move everything that you can to another work your way out. location, such as an attached garage, MacFarlane says. Then wipe them down to remove grease A good rule of thumb is to never dip your brush and prepare them for painting. You’ll also need to more than a half-inch into the paint, MacFarlane remove the hardware. Soak the hardware in a mix says. He advises using an angled brush. of warm water and Dawn dish soap to remove Brush strokes are very important when painting grime and buildup, then dry and store in labeled cabinets; you should drag your brush a minimum of plastic bags. 12 inches at a time in one smooth, long line, rather A word of caution when removing cabinet doors than going back and forth, to ensure a smooth and drawers: “You think you know where everything finish. goes until you remove them all and start getting 6 APPLY THE FIRST AND SECOND confused,” MacFarlane says.

LIVING SPACE
UPGRADE IN AN AFTERNOON 6 easy home updates you can accomplish in a couple of hours CAYLIN HARRIS | realsimple.com rying to create the home of your dreams? Never underestimate the satisfaction of completing small house projects. Here are six mini home makeovers that can be accomplished in an afternoon:
T
1 Swap in new hardware
Make a standard piece of furniture feel more custom by adding intricate hardware. It takes just a few minutes and can have a huge impact. Attaching leather drawer pulls to a dresser or a colorful knob to your nightstand gives the piece an entirely new look and feel. For a really big change, switch out the hardware on your kitchen cabinets.
2 Get creative
with wallpaper
Subtle and less of a commitment than wallpapering an entire room, try adding just a touch of patterned wallpaper to the back of a bookcase or to a small accent wall to create some visual interest. To really make an impression, choose a pattern or color that complements the rest of the decor in the room.
3 Add open shelving
Repotting plants add color and texture to your space
If you like to collect beautiful things, why not show them off? It’s a great way to incorporate small pops of color and pattern into a room without having to buy new pieces. Instead of tucking away your favorite books, travel souvenirs and glassware, put them on display. Installing a simple floating shelf takes very little time and usually doesn’t require fancy equipment.
4 Hang some
5 Repot your plants Leaving houseplants in their original containers isn’t always a great idea. Not only will the nutrients in the soil deplete eventually (and need to be replaced), but the greenery will also look better in a beautiful planter. Choose a fun terracotta or ceramic option to add color and texture to your space.

6 Brighten up the lighting
(custom) artwork Art adds color and life to a room and can also hide dents, scratches or imperfections on the walls. Find frames and matting for your favorite artwork or photos. Then, spend a few minutes with a hammer and level to hang them on the wall.

A brand-new sconce or chandelier can create an entirely new ambience within a room. Swap in a modern chandelier for the traditional brass one that came with the house. It will instantly give the space a more contemporary feel. If you’re already in love with your lighting, install a dimmer switch; wall colors and furniture can look different depending on the brightness.

Room-by-room decluttering Tips to tackle the toughest areas of your house TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY
W
ondering how to begin decluttering your home? Here’s how to tackle the toughest areas of your house. Take a mental inventory of what you see, and write down how the room makes you feel. Then, close your eyes and imagine what you want your new space to look like. Write down how the new vision makes you feel, and place this in a prominent spot as a reminder of what’s to come. If you stick to the process, you will reach your goals. Here’s how to tackle the toughest areas of your house.
Create a do-it-all entryway
Edit furniture
The entry is a sneak peek into the rest of your home, so you want it to be a functional space that also makes a statement. This area tends to become cluttered with miscellaneous items that don’t make it too far past the door. Organize the entry space to handle daily in-and-out items. Cover one wall with blackboard paint so you can leave reminder messages, or add fun hooks and shelves to keep keys, mail and other items sorted.
Your home should reflect your personal style. If you are using furniture that was passed down to you, make it your own by painting it a new color or swapping out hardware such as drawer pulls. Don’t let sentimentality bully you into keeping items that are just not you. If a handme-down isn’t working for you, let it go, and make room for a piece that you really love.
Make over your home office A cluttered office is more likely to serve as a dumping ground than a functional work space. Give this area a “space-lift,” and you’ll feel the difference immediately. Get rid of furniture and miscellaneous items that are broken or nonfunctional. Then, brighten up the room using paint and a colorful rug. Find useful objects such as desk accessories and file folders that speak to your personality — to make even the most mundane tasks a little more fun.
Donate unused food items The kitchen can be one of the easiest places to organize. Start by going through the food in your pantry. Box up unwanted items that haven’t been opened and aren’t expired, and take them to your local food shelf. Next, go through your tableware, pots and pans and decorative kitchen accessories. Donate anything you aren’t using regularly or don’t love. Giving makes the letting go a lot easier.
18
Inventory your closet Organizing closets is a great opportunity to take stock of how much stuff you own versus what you really use. Pull all the items out of your bedroom closet, and sort them into like categories. Then, get out similar items stashed under beds or in a sparebedroom closet. Once you have items in a single place, it’s hard to ignore excess and duplication.
Clean out your medicine cabinet and linen closet Just like food, medicines and cosmetics have a shelf life. Check expiration dates, and toss anything that’s past its prime. Sort through your towels while you’re at it, discarding rough, torn or stained ones or repurposing them as rags.
PANTRY: A clean-out can reveal unused food items that can be donated.
Celebrate your accomplishments LIVING ROOM: Now’s the time to swap that heirloom chair for something you actually love.
Every time you accomplish a decluttering goal, find a way to recognize it: Take a walk, enjoy a treat, or put money in a jar for a night out.
OFFICE: Decluttering your desk can create a more functional workspace.

CLOSET: Organizing can help determine which clothes in there you actually wear.
