Deep Cleaning Cont. Dining Room, Foyer, Staircase

I am not sure why this is taking me so long but I started at 10:30 am this morning and it is now 2:10 pm. I have only cleaned the foyer and the dining room and the staircase. In the foyer I washed the walls, washed in windows and the door, washed the baseboards, cleaned out the two coat closets, vacuumed on top of the two closets, washed down and dusted the staircase and spindles, vacuumed the floor and the stairs.

As you can see in my dining room it is very bare except for the table and chairs. This took me a long time to clean because I have so many blank walls :-). I washed the baseboards, cleaned the tables and the chairs and vacuumed.

I also was able to do 3 loads of laundry in between cleaning this area. Plus taking a few minutes out for a snack and a phone call from my mom. Next . . . . .the front sitting room - I don't call it a living room because it connect to our family room. It does hold our piano so maybe I should call it our music room. The kids will be home in five minutes so I don't know if I will get anymore done for the day. About two hours ago I did receive a text message from my honey. It's weird to get a text message from Russia but it made it through. He is anxious to get home!
