The days are growing shorter, Halloween decorations are popping up here and there and the scent of pumpkin spice fills the air. It’s time to stow away the bathing suits, pack up the pool supplies and free your warm jackets from their storage bins. Seasons change and this may inspire you to make some updates. With the added incentive of having guests over for upcoming holiday gatherings at your home, this is the perfect chance to tackle a cleaning project this weekend, as well as make updates to your favorite spaces to create a cozy, fresh feel for your home. Let’s look at some projects to take on and window treatments to jazz up your Fort Monmouth home for the new season ahead.

The most important thing is to set a game plan and not take on more than you’ve bargained for. The results of trying to force too many tasks into a weekend can be overwhelming. Instead, meter out some manageable tasks and call in the professionals to help with updates like new window solutions in Fort Monmouth.

If you’re planning on hosting a holiday dinner this year or other fall gathering with family and friends, spend some time surveying your dining room with a critical eye. If the next party is a child’s or teen’s birthday party, take a look in the den or family room and see what areas need attention. Maybe the hutch that holds your China is cluttered with too many items or your bookshelf is spilling over with new releases. By spending some time organizing now, you’ll be prepared for guests with time to spare! Establish hour-long limits, set a timer and focus completely on one area to see how much you can declutter in 60 minutes. If you’re energized in the project, you can always go longer but by giving yourself a fixed time, you’ll feel able to manage the task at hand.

Inspired to accomplish more? Consider these mini-projects:

Do a deep clean in your bathroom. Wipe down the shower door. If the cleaning instructions allow, wash the shower curtain and the tub mat, too. Grab the glass cleaner and bring a shine to the mirror.
Dump the junk drawer! Dive in, sort it out and purge those old ketchup packets, very old restaurant menus and expired batteries. This will free you up to store those fresh duck sauce packs, flashlights and spare keys!
Clean your windows. If you want to enjoy natural light, it is time to clean both the outside and inside of your windows to ensure that the light streams in.
