Since I knew I wanted to use some of my dried hydrangea blooms, I went ahead and picked up some green pumpkins too, to reinforce the green component of my design.

The last tool in my window blind cleaning arsenal is a damp cloth.Those three things are really all you need to have the cleanest blinds on the block!… if you actually use them.

The cloth I use most often is... Dust, Dust, Wipe.So here’s my method.

I try to spend a few moments on my blinds once a month or so and most of the time, I just run my feather duster across them to keep the dust from building up.I just turn the slats so they’re fully open, run my duster over them a few times, shake it out outside, and call it a day.

If you don’t allow the dust to settle on there, then it won’t have time to get crusted on from humidity or sticky little finger prints.. Once in awhile if I’m feeling ambitious and I want to do an extra good job, I’ll take out.

my dusting glove.I finally picked a few up the other day and decided to start my experiment in aging galvanized metal!.

How Not to Age Galvanized Metal.Well, it turns out that there are a lot of ways to do this.

Some of them really fast, some of them a little less.Almost all of the methods that I came across used scary harsh chemicals though, which you know I’m pretty freaked out by.
