I’ve been REALLY itching to edit, donate, clean, scrub and just GET MY SH*T TOGETHER. The summer always makes me really antsy to clean house and get organized- maybe it has something to do with the heat and humidity and the desire to have less things? As I prepare to spend some time doing this, I wanted to share the things I love for the purpose of keeping house- both things that bring me joy (a special counter spray or candle) to the nitty gritty (like food storage containers and stain cleaner).
The directive for this project in Northport, Maine was NOT your typical New England beach house. The clients were after a more California cool, 70s surf vibe – modern, warm, and a place you can still kick your sandy feet up and feel comfortable LIVING in (especially with kids).
