Deep Cleaning Kitchen Cabinets

In this busy fast-moving world, your cleaning lady would probably wipe down your kitchen counters and mop and sweep the floor every alternate day to maintain the cleanliness of the kitchen, but what about your kitchen cabinets? They definitely might not get the same attention as the floor and the kitchen counters which they should. The collection of dirt, dust, grease and other cooking residues over time mixed with the atmosphere and forms tacky black glue which is impossible to remove.

Besides becoming a health sword, it will also over time enhance the risk of bacteria which can mix with the food and easily contaminate all the handles and knobs. Overall, it’s a mess.

How often should you clean kitchen cabinets?

Ideally, it is imperative to clean the surface or the exteriors of the kitchen cabinets every week or every other week. However, it is essential to set a deep cleaning routine every few months. A deep cleaning routine of the kitchen cabinets includes emptying all the kitchen utensils in the kitchen, which may sound overwhelming. Still, it has the right approach to get a beautiful and shining, Grease free kitchen.

Types of equipment or tools required for deep cleaning

  • Cleaning cloths
  • Toothbrush
  • Vacuum

  • cabinet cleaner or cleaner with orange oil
  • All-purpose cleaner

Steps and instructions to clean

Cleaning solution: most of the contemporary kitchen cabinets are made of different types of materials, like plastic, painted wood, window cabinets metals etc., so this could include a block of liquid dish soap and warm water. This mild solution can get rid of surface levels grease and dust which has built up over the months on the cabinet.

Work from the top down: Another major tip which you can follow is to work from the top and move down the cabinets. If the cabinets are empty, you can directly use the spray to spray on the surface and then clean it using a clean cloth.

Rinsing thoroughly: Once you’re done with the soap solution, you ought to clean it with another clean cloth or just plain water and a dry cloth to remove all the soap stains and soap fragments from the surfaces.

Wiping handles knobs and pulls

8 Tips For House Painting On A Budget

House painting can be challenging. And house painting on a budget can be tougher still. For many folks, decorating on a budget may seem like folly and something that will inevitably end up costing them a packet.

But it doesn’t have to be. Girl Thursday has put together some top tips for doing the job right, whilst still saving some dough along the way.

Do It Yourself

You’ve probably already worked this one out, but by doing the whole job yourself, you can save a lot of money. But not hiring professionals comes with its own set of headaches.

You need to plan around your available time and organize when you can fit your renovating in. Booking time off work might be better than it stretching out for an infinity of weekends. 

Top tip – you can ask friends to help and even hold paint parties if it seems a bit too much on your own. Don’t let them get too drunk though!

Beg, Borrow, Recycle

When you’re broke, everything seems to cost money. And as you have no doubt found, all the incidental costs – brushes, rollers, tape etc. – quickly take their toll on your budget.

So, what can you do? We advise asking around – see if you can borrow any of these things. (Of course, you promise to clean them up at the end!) It’s also worth asking on Freecycle or similar sites, and people often have stuff to giveaway that might be of use.

Don’t Skimp On Quality 

Tempting though it is to buy the cheapest paints in the store, we must insist on quality.

Cheap paints are never saving. You may end up re-doing the same wall twice, or even three times over to achieve the same results. Also, you will probably be spending extra in primer too. Stick to brands you trust when it comes to budget painting – although we think it’s ok to skimp on the lifetime guarantee, you probably won’t want it that long anyway.

Low-Budget Exterior Painting

Prime If Needed

Not every paint needs a primer, although to achieve a real five-star finish you might want to use one. If you’ve bought a self-priming paint, then there’s little reason to prime unless you paint a dark wall with a light color.

Reuse The Same Colors

You will likely have some paint leftover, so why not use it in another room? This doesn’t mean all the rooms have to look the same (unless you want them to), but you can mix and match different walls in the same room. 

Do Your Prep

The cleaner your walls are, the more chance your project has of succeeding. And succeeding means not buying replacement paint!

Not letting your paint dry out, helps keep it in tip-top condition for longer – so if you want to reuse it, you can. We recommend re-sealing tins carefully and then covering them with plastic bags.

Work Out How Much You Need

If you’re looking to save money, you don’t want gallons of extra paint leftover after a job. Measure up correctly and find a paint calculator to work out just how much you need. Then buy them all at once, that way you can usually snag a discount.

Proceed With Caution

If you want to save money, slow and certain is the way to go. Rushing will increase the chances of mistakes and that means you might have to do it again. Take your time, paint as carefully and as smoothly as possible to ensure you get it right the first time.

Painting on a budget needn’t be a chore and it shouldn’t look like a rush job. Follow these tips to decorate like a pro and still save pennies!

6 Secret Painting Tips from A Pro Painter

Psst! Want to know a secret? We have gotten some of the top home painters in Calgary to spill their secrets of the trade and show us how to paint your home like a pro step by step !

From golf balls to turning detective, house painting is a lot more complicated, you think. So, before you even get started, check out these tips! 

Clean The Walls 

One of the things newbie painters often neglect is giving the walls a damned good sugar soaping before paint. 

To achieve a professional level job, it is important to think like a pro. This means getting the walls clean before you even spill one drop of paint on them.

Painting onto a dirty wall will result in peeling. Also, it will not bond as well. Likewise, fill any cracks well before you start. 

Figure Out What Paint Was There Before

You probably didn’t think that home painting meant going forensic, but there is more to it than you might think. And before even buying any paint, you need to know what was there before. There are two main types of paint, latex and oil-based. And you don’t want to mix them.

The way to test is to soak a cotton wool ball in some rubbing alcohol and put it on a small wall section. If paint comes off, then it’s latex paint. If it doesn’t budge, you have an oil-based paint and use an oil primer to prep your walls.

Match Your Color

Prime It Right

Newbies make the mistake of just slapping paint on the walls, but this is a mistake. It needs priming, and, it needs priming right.

If it’s a brand-new wall, use a water-based primer. If it’s water damaged outdoor wall, use oil primer, and see the previous tip for internal walls.

Also, pick a tinted primer, as it will cover the old paint better than white does. This will help you paint fewer coats in the long run. 

Add A Paint Extender

Paint extender is one of the best-kept secrets of house painting pros. This is the way to eliminate lap marks forever.

It also delays the drying process – this might sound like a bad thing, but trust us, it’s not. Ultimately, this will give you more chance to correct blotches and mistakes. 

And it will banish all brush strokes!

Prep The Paint Right

There is so much more than just opening the tin of paint and putting it on the wall. First, it needs to be prepped.

The first thing you need to know is how to mix it. If you are using more than one tin, it should be combined in a bucket before use. It might surprise you to know that there can be subtle differences between the same paint tins, so mixing ensures evenness.

When mixing, the paint should be stirred with a DIY stirrer for best results. Our top tip is put holes in them, to mix the paint more evenly.

Paint drying out is the scourge of the professional decorator. There are various ways to prevent this. Believe it or not, pros place golf balls into the paint tins, to cover the air space,

Not a golf fan? You can cling wrap the lid and seal it, then store the painting upside down.

Wash But Don’t Wash Your Rollers?

Confused? Well, it is a bit, for sure, but the stellar advice from our experts is that although rollers should be washed thoroughly before use, from new, when there is color on them, they shouldn’t be washed – until the end of the job.

Whilst you are still on the go, keep the rollers (or brushes) from drying by clinging them in plastic kitchen bags – or foil. These can be put in the fridge, but allow them to come to room temperature before using them again!

Did you try any of these tips? Did they work? I would be fascinated to see what you think!

If you can’t follow the pro steps, why not try with the beginner one HERE.

5 Tips To Paint Your House For A New Mommy

Be afraid, be very afraid. Now you’ve got kids, everything has changed. And that includes DIY.

It doesn’t matter if you were Martha Stewart in a previous incarnation, now you’ve got kids all bets are off. 

So, how do you remodel when you’ve got the forces of Satan (your kids) at your heels?

You take a deep breath and make some plans. Try following our top tips for painting success as a new mom (or dad!)

Think About What Time Of Year Is It

But now kids have come along and suddenly, and winter isn’t the best time to decorate with kids. It’s summer. 

We think the warmer months are best for painting with kids, as obviously, the weather is warmer, and you will be able to get them out of the house. 

There’s more chance of activities to occupy them (summer camp, day trips and so on). If you’ve got the space, you can cook/ bathe/live outdoors much more quickly.

A summer remodel your house up for the all-day painting, with long evenings to finish up in. With a bit of luck, you will only have to come inside to sleep at the end.

Forget Being A Domestic Goddess For The Foreseeable 

Whilst your remodel is underway take it easy on yourself. Forget cooking for the duration of your renovations. You may not have access to your kitchen, and even if you do, this is where all the brushes and mess will end up. And you will be on permanent tea-making duty!

So, whilst the remodel is underway, avail yourself of some pizza flyers (or the takeout of your choice). Buy ready meals, or, if you like, ready-made prep dishes in advance that can be popped in the microwave.

And if you want to be extra chilled, get disposable plates for the duration. The last thing you want to be fussed with is the washing up. 

Exterior Paint With DIY Mom

Your Car Will Become A Sanctuary

Prep your car to become the go-to place for everything you can’t do in the house. That means storing essentials such as make-up, toiletries, phones, and tech accessories, your fave chill-out music, toys, school supplies or anything else that is important to your family. It may also be an idea to keep blankets, cushions, and other cozy items to help the kids settle.

If all else fails, you can always take them for a long ride until they drop off.

Plan Your Escape

You might decide to escape your remodel horror zone for the duration that work is being done. 

If this is possible, plan your escape route, where and how long you will go for and if the renovators are alright to be left alone.

But if a complete getaway isn’t an option, try and plan some days away – meeting family and friends, or trips out. Put places like the library top of your list to hangout (free WiFi!).

Book A Professional Clean When All Is Done

Put that duster down. Don’t even think about trying to do this one yourself. When your remodel is done, we insist you factor in a professional deep clean before returning things to normal.

If you’ve hired professionals to redecorate, they should clean up in theory, but in practice, this is often very basic.

For your peace of mind, we recommend a full, deep house clean before doing anything – your mental health is worth it!

Painting with kids is an experience – the key is to plan well in advance and relax your strict standards until it’s all done!

2014: I Believe in Your Awesomeness

So, 2013 is at an end. Only now can I take stock of what happened.

In my case, this was quite a lot. Momentous events bookended the year. At the start of it, I lost my Dad. 

I had to get to grips with my own emotions and those of the kids too – and it was not easy (as I mentioned in my blog).

For the next few months, I buried my head in the sand. The house had never been cleaner, and I was crafting like a demon. But in the background, paperwork was stacking up. 

Probate, insurance, bank accounts, all needed sorting, and I was in no fit state.

We held a simple memorial, as my Dad requested, with only close family. Despite this, more people turned up than seemingly actually knew him… which was both friendly and weird! 

But there was so much going on that I never got around to speaking to them. And this gnawed at me for the rest of the year. That and the not tiny task of having to deal with my father’s “estate” – hours of sifting through junk, and only occasionally finding something precious. So, a bit like life.

This kept me going until May when I just about got to the bottom of the cupboard under the stairs. At this point, I was in open despair. It seemed like I would never get through the avalanche of shin bandages, unopened packets of ketchup chips (he was a big fan), and guitar strings. (These were a mystery, he had no guitar).

Then, in November (still only halfway through the shin bandages) I got a phone call.

It was from someone at the funeral. I couldn’t remember him, and it was awkward. Worse still, he wanted to meet.

At that point, alarm bells started ringing VERY LOUDLY. I came up with excuses as to why I could not. Why did I do this? When I looked back on it later, I am at a loss to explain why.

But I’m glad I did. Because it was only when we met face to face – in a waffle bar downtown – that I saw why he wanted to meet so bad. I’d barely got through the door before I saw it.

He was a body double of my Dad, albeit a backdated one. His name was Ned, and he was my brother.

Brother? My jaw dropped onto the floor. He said, yes, brother, and went through the entire story of how before my Dad met my mother he had been engaged to a lady called Wendy (who I had briefly heard of), and then, well, he happened.

As you can pretty much guess, this blew my world. And it still is doing. 

But in the right way. Because it took a long time to get there, and we are still getting to know each other. But by the end of 2013, I had gained a brother and, as it turned out, a nephew as well.

I am still dealing with the aftershock of all this. And guess I will be for some time.

So… the basic lesson from 2013? …Trust more and suspect less. And believe in your awesomeness!

Make It YourSelf: Peter Pan Collar With Sarah

Hi there! 

My name is Sarah Taylor, and I’m a frequent blogger to Wikihow and DIY Mum. Sophia and I are childhood friends, but we’ve only recently reconnected via an online DIY Craft gathering. I figured I was going to share 

one of my favorite DIY accessories with you! 

I don’t think there’s anything better than a sexy Peter Pan collar, but I messed up this cute little one to cover up a simple white t-shirt. 

Here’s how you do it:

You’ll need cloth (at least 1/4 yard, though 1/2 yard is better), cardboard, scissors, snaps (or hook-and-eye closures). 

  1. Sketch out the outline of the collar on the cardboard. I’ve winged it, but you might want to take some measurements to be healthy. You may even change the design of the collar! 
  2. Fold the cloth over it, so you can cut two bits at once. Pay attention to the pattern of our fabric if you need to! 
  3. Pin the paper collar to the cloth and cut it. Leave a little space around the stencil for your seam allowance. 
  4. Create another one on the another side of your collar. 
  5. Pin your two bits of cloth with the right hand facing each other. 
  6. Ensure you keep the right bits together, and you need them to match up as best they can.
  7. Starting at one corner, start stitching around the edge using your sewing machine’s foot as a reference. 
  8. Sew almost the entire way back to where you began, then stop about an inch before that.  Use the little opening on your left to turn the tube inside out. You would need to use a pencil to make the corners pointy. Do this on both of your collars. 
  9. Iron all of the bits hard. Hand, at the middle, sew the two halves together. 
  10. Sew the snap (or hook-and-eye) at the back of the neck  (the top corners of your collar)

This is it!  Ok, I hope you’ve had fun making these! 

Thank you, Sophia, for encouraging me to share with your audience!

Do It Yourself Basic: Reversible Tote Bag

The tote bag is a creative base that can be used as a base for a variety of various projects.  I know so many of you already know how to make a tote, but for those who don’t, this easy tutorial is for you. This post would also act as a jump-off point for a variety of potential artistic tutorials. 

So without further ado, I’d like to teach you how to make a reversible tote bag. 

  1. Cut 4 rectangular bits of cloth of the same size. 
  2. Two bits are going to be the lining and the rest are going to be the shell. The scale is entirely optional. You choose how big you want your bag to be. 
  3. Take your two shell fragments and pin them to the right on three sides. Keep one of the short sides unpinned. Do the same thing on the lining bits. 
  4. Sew over pinned sides, leaving around 1/4″ of the seam allowance. 
  5. Trim around the sewn edges and corners. Turn the shell inside out and flatten the seams with the iron. 
  6. At this point, your linen fabric should always have the right side facing. Next, put your shell pocket inside the linen pocket. 
  7. Now we’re going to step on the handle. First you’re going to break the canvas strap into two 15″ bits.
  8. Next you’re going to shape the handle. I lay a strap on a flat surface, hold each end and fold it towards me. This produces a U shape that’s going to rest perfectly on your shoulder. 
  9. Carefully put the handle between the lining and the shell cloth. Pin is in place. Repeat the opposite side of the bag. 
  10. Sew across the side of the open. 
  11. Be sure to leave a 2-3″ gap open so that the bag can be switched out in a minute. For additional strength and toughness, stitch a few times over the handles. 
  12. Carefully turn the bag inside out by pushing the cloth into the crack. 
  13. Iron this new edge flat and make sure to fold the difference down. Go over to your computer and topstitch around the edge. 

And that’s how to make a very easy reversible tote, my friends… Happy crafting and don’t forget to tag me on Instagram if you want to be featured on my story!

Getting Blog Organized with Printables

I’m a big believer in using different tools to create a planner that works. I have to admit that I’ve been struggling to figure out how to plan my work with my daily home routine. Lots of trial and failure, but after 4 months of searching, I finally found that printables planner works the best.

Why Do You Need a Blogging Planner?

If you are serious with blogging, you need to get it organized just like your other task. It’s no longer a hobby, but it should be a habit with consistent effort if you want to see serious results. First, you need to think and be clear on your goal, plan how you will achieve it, and layout the content.

There are plenty of apps that you can use online, but the old paper planner is a proven way to visualize your goals and priorities and organize your work to become a more focused and productive blogger.

How Do I Get Started?

Last year a friend recommended The Blog Success Planner from the Inspired Blogger’s University, and I immediately fell in love with Tabitha’s system. I can honestly say that I have not regretted that choice. The planner template is full of unique prints to cover blogging and modern lifestyle. However, I still found a missing piece, and I need to figure out soon. I’ve tried to use schedules and checklist, use full-size planner, switch daily to monthly, and try all the combinations above, but nothing suits my need. Until one day, after 4 months of search, I decided to set different planner for weekly goals and monthly goals and a separate template for business and personal life. It goes very well! It helps me focus on things I need to get done on working mode.

Below you’ll find the planning template that works for me for more than a year.

MONTHLY PLANNING SECTION

I use the monthly plan section as a broad but actionable idea that I want to achieve within that month. It doesn’t have specific dates, just columns according to the number of days in that month. I will put more details on the weekly plan, but I have to put my goals on the monthly template, so I don’t miss it. It includes room for the top 3 priorities of the month, the monthly goals (steps to achieve long-term goals), to-do list, ideas, and notes.

WEEKLY PLANNING SECTION

This section is the most time-consuming template, a lot of tweaks. Instead of using the old-fashioned style with day one on the first page, the next day on the second page, and so on, I decided to set 4 pages for each week.

The first page is the place to plan the entire week, including weekly goals, top 3 tasks for the week, reminders, notes, and habit trackers to help me find new habit work if needed. Then the remaining areas are for the weekdays with 3 sections for each day:

– To-Do List >> contains your top 3 daily task

– Social Media >> plan your social activities here to keep track of any updates you need to make on various platforms

– Daily Log >> A feedback note for whatever happened that day

The second page is for the remaining weekdays, so this continues the weekday’s layout on the first page. The third page covers the weekend with a weekly recap, notes on wins and losses about your weekly goals, and a place to record your top achievement on that week. The last page is mostly a note with an extended plan for the next week.

PRINTING: MAKE IT REAL

I’ve done all the hassle and prepare the printable version here. Feel free to download it, print, and share with your friends. You’ll never know who needs it.

DIY Scrap Busting Pot Holders

By downloading and printing my patterns, you can fashion your homemade potholders, that will look fabulous and save you from 2nd-degree burns at the same time. And there are not many things we can say that about!

The sizes I have picked fit my hands snugly, at a petite 7 inches square, but if you want to scale up or down, shrink or enlarge the patterns by the appropriate amount to match your hands.

What You Will Need

Eleven pieces of your chosen material:

  • 2 x 32-inch Bias binding, for binding the mitts together. If you want a hook too then add another 2 x 4-inch pieces in.
  • 2 x 8-inch squares of Insul Bright material, for insulation. You can get this on eBay or in drapers (if there is one near you).
  • A pair of scissors.
  • Square fabric, for the backing 8.5″2.
  • Access to a printer and tape, for the outline (see below to print).

Additionally

These items are optional but invaluable, in my opinion!

  • Marker pen for quilt lines (soluble).
  • Safety pins, or some spray adhesive (I used 505 Spray
  • Adhesive) to make the sandwich for the quilt.
  • Rotary cutter.
  • Quilting ruler.
  • Self-healing cutting mat – if you don’t already have one of these you need to get one!
HandMade Pot Holder

Method

  1. Get everything assembled and set aside ample time to work in. (I would allow a half-day to be on the safe side).
  2. If you like a challenge, you could always toss together one of my sumptuous double chocolate tortes (check out my blog) before you begin, and then be ready with your new mitts to get it out of the oven with afterwards! Otherwise, you are ready to begin!
  3. Start by printing the design you have downloaded (at the bottom of the page). Make sure you pick a size that works for your actual hands. If you need to scale up or down, do that accordingly. When printing, ensure your printer is not stuck on “fit to page” but printing the original size.
  4. Each print has two pages, and these should be taped together. Now cut out the pieces.
  5. Sew the pieces with a seam of ¼ inch. If they don’t line up, don’t worry, they can be trimmed.
  6. Square the completed blocks with your seven-inch square.
  7. Now construct your quilt sandwich. Use the insulation and backing material. Either pin or spray it, depending on which method you prefer.
  8. Next quilt the mitts. How creative you want to be is up to you. The method I used was straight lines, with a stitch of 3. I did mine off the top of my head, but if you want to be more organized, use a washable marker to draft out your designs – remember to wipe it clean afterwards!
  9. Then trim your excess backing and insulation material until it’s even.
  10. Make your bias binding and create the binding for the mitts. If you are unsure how to do this, here’s a tutorial.
  11. For the hanger (optional) sew it to the edge of the binding and use quilt tags. You can make your own from any material, i.e. ribbon.

You’re done – just in time to take that cake out of the oven!

Zine One: Million Humiliations Of Adolescence

Adolescence. That nightmare gap between tweendom and adulthood.

I guess I am not alone in being horrified by my teenage years. A mélange of bad sex, dental braces, and acne, with a whacking side dollop of humiliation. A lot of embarrassment.

And yet despite all this, I got off lightly. I am endlessly grateful that my peak teenage years passed by well before the advent of social media.

I can only drop to my knees in gratitude that there was no Instagram to immortalize my Barbie pink prom dress.

Some of you have recently shared your teenage vignettes with me, and I have been honored to read them.

So, in the spirit of sharing, it’s only fair I join in. And whilst there’s hot competition for the most toe-curdling moment, I still think the Jon/Jonella paradox makes it to the top spot.

Imagine; the scenario – I’m hovering on the doorstep of the local heartthrob’s house.

Every girl in the school has a crush on him. Together with his twin sister Jonella, they rule the roost in our little clique.

The date: It’s Valentine’s day. And I am hoping to drop off a card, unnoticed. 

So, I slot it in, quickly, into their mailbox. It gets sandwiched in there, and then I hear someone coming.

In a desperate panic, I snatch the card back out again. But before I can run, a boy has appeared, from behind me on the walkway.

It’s Tony. Jonella’s boyfriend. He’s smiling. “Is that a Valentine’s card for Jonny?” he says.

I gulp. There’s nothing I can say, but yes.

But this is where the problem is. It’s not. It’s for Jon’s sister; his girlfriend.

But because our little town isn’t a place to publicize girl crushes, there’s no way I want anyone knowing. And, of course, especially him.

The worst bit of all this is he’s nice to me. 

Story Time

“Don’t be embarrassed, you should post it!” he says. And he is insistent. There’s no way I can get out of there without posting that damned card.

Somehow, I manage to open the card and scribble out the ella part of the name and cover it with a massive love heart. Amazingly, he doesn’t see.

Then, he takes it and posts it through the door. Which, of course, opens. 

It’s Jon. With his flawless sister in the background. He opens the card and grins.

I nearly spontaneously combust. 

And everyone’s still really nice.

It should go without saying that both Jon – and his sister – are about a million miles out of my league. I turn to go, burning with shame.

But Jonny asks me inside.

Long story short, we end up dating for two months, before I figure a way out of it.

Fast forward: a couple of weeks later. It’s a sleepover at Jon’s. The rest have gone to sleep, left only Jonella and me. To my horror, she has the damned Valentine card, and she’s smiling.

“It was really to me, wasn’t it?” she says, grinning. Then she shows me the inside of the card – where you can see the outline of her name, under the crossing out.

I try and bullshit, but she’s got me. Panicking, I think she is going to laugh or be angry or… something.

But she doesn’t. She doesn’t laugh at me, but she does place her hands on my face, and then give me a soft kiss. Just on the side of the cheek.

I nearly faint with shock. She laughs.

“Thank you,”

That’s all she says. Ever. And then goes back to sleep, leaving me hyperventilating and wondering wtf happened.

I still do sometimes.

Basic upshot? Sometimes it’s best to be brave – even if nothing can come of it.
