Corona Cleaning - Linen Closet

I didn't want to clean the linen closet.

But we have a Cat Who Pees, usually late at night as we are going to bed. And when she did that the other night, I had a hard time finding new sheets for the bed. Awhile back, Beatrix had reorganized the linen closet, much like realtors do by organizing books by spine color for decor (at least it was not spine in and pages out).

So I cleared everything out, and re-arranged by sheet size, and got rid of sheets we were not using, and stripped and washed the linens. It was necessary, but not exactly fulfilling.

So instead, I show you the after and before or prints in the back stairs — Saint Paul in the white frames, hung a couple of years back, and New Orleans prints from my dad's, that we got black frames for the other night in a  huge frame-buying frenzy at Michael's.

We also spent the afternoon at Beatrix's Norwegian dance rehearsal in Stillwater. Beforehand we got to go to my friend's shop in Marine on St. Croix, then grabbed a picnic lunch at the deli before heading to dance and then some antique shopping afterwards. Some kids go to Florida for spring break, and Beatrix got to go to...Stillwater (and Northfield, and Duluth.)
