Industry: Small Business

Press Release Summary: 4. As the final step, run the vacuum in here-not the edges,
just the "middles" where you walk. Move the chairs but not the table-don't even
think about pulling out the china cabinet! If there are things behind there, they're
small and no one else is going to see them.


Congratulations-your dining room is done! Happily, it's often one of the easiest
rooms to keep looking nice and neat!



Press Release Body: An organized dining room adds extra comfort to a home. If you're
like me, sometimes it's the only organized room in the house! Let's take a quick
look around. Do you eat in here often or is it only for guests? If you don't use it
often, you may just have some simple organizing and dusting to do.

1. Are there papers on your table? Is this table a collection spot for things you
want out of your way and then forget about? If so, take the bite out of the Law of
Flat Surfaces! Use the "laundry basket" method we talked about in the family room
here: if there are things that don't belong in this room, put them in baskets and
take those baskets to the appropriate rooms.

2. Do you have a china cabinet or other means of storing fine dishes? If so, how
does the cabinet look? If it's stuffed to the gills, start by taking a hard look at
what you have, how many place settings you have, and how many you need. If you want
a guideline, take one from the line in "Sleepless in Seattle": "12 is too many, 8 is
too few. 10 are just right." How many creamers, sugar bowls, and teacups do you
have? Are they collecting dust and never getting used? Pare down and give them a
quick dusting with your duster. When you open the doors to your cabinet, do you grit
your teeth and wonder what's going to jump out and kill itself at your feet?
Consider giving your surplus to a newly-married couple that can use it, or donate it
to a women's shelter or other worthy charity. Dust down (or use furniture
polish-whatever is applicable here) the front of your cabinet.

3. What about your lighting source? Dusty? Grab your duster-hit the table, the
chairs (rungs and bottom of the table, too!), and the lighting source. You don't
have to take it down and scrub it clean-just dust it, and if necessary, shake the
dead bugs from it.

4. As the final step, run the vacuum in here-not the edges, just the "middles" where
you walk. Move the chairs but not the table-don't even think about pulling out the
china cabinet! If there are things behind there, they're small and no one else is
going to see them.


Congratulations-your dining room is done! Happily, it's often one of the easiest
rooms to keep looking nice and neat!
