Thanksgiving will be another special one this year. My family will be in town to celebrate our little turkey, who was born on Turkey Day last year. True to form, I began planning weeks ago. Finding inspiration in home design magazines, I have been determined to transform our living room into a spread right out of Traditional Home. I want inviting little pumpkins on side tables and vases bursting with mums on the mantel, and of course gourds everywhere.
But before I can get to the decorating, I must start with a clean slate. This means dusting along base boards, behind books, and in between all the places that may not have been cleaned since last November.
