Winter is a good time to get caught up on some interior projects.........

Start a to-do list.  Walk through your home, jotting down projects and maintenance problems you notice or that have been on your mind.  Carry a screwdriver and a can of machine oil so you can immediately take care of minor issues, such as loose door handles and squeaky hinges.

Declutter your closets.  Throw away anything you don't need.  If you haven't worn it this year, you probably won't ever again.  Buy additional shelves, hooks and boxes to organize everything that remains.  Next: Declutter the laundry room, another often disorganized, small space.

Consider your flooring.  January is a slow month for carpet sellers and floor refinishers, so it's a good time to get a deal on a replacement or spruce-up.

I used to do a lot of these yearly things on a regular basis...now since I'm making changes I see less problems. My home that I sold had no problems....my new home needed more since it wasn't taken care of like I did.
