Spring cleaning in Winter?

Why is it i go through a spring cleaning in Winter.
Maybe its because i live in the south and by the time "spring" hits us its already 90 degrees, well the spring cleaning bug has hit and so has the redo bug.
Almost 3 years ago we embarked on a remodel, we added a beautiful den/family room onto our home, and with that den came 3 other rooms that was once our old den, a computer room, dining room and a foyer.
I was suppose to get a sewing/craft room but money and energy gave out:( Energy was way gone as my Husband and I did 90%of the work ourselves, we had a builder do the main stuff, but hubby and i did insulation, sheetrock, trimming, flooring, you name it we did it, there were laughter, sweat and tears, and yes there are still somethings I need to finish, little things that people would not notice, but I was give out. Lets just say since then I have hardley even moved furniture around and thats a biggy since I used to change things all the time.
Well in the next few weeks we are going to start changing things again, guess its like giving birth to your children, after a while you forget the pain and do it all over again. But this time no major building.
I am a Interior Decorator(without a job) and I love crafts, I sew, crochet, cross stitch, you name it I do it, and my girls are getting involved to also, we have stuff everywhere and if we want to sew its a major mess a constructive mess but a mess. They are sharing a room right now because my brother and his wife moved in a few months ago until they could save up to get them a place, well they are getting them a place in the next few weeks, so we got to talking, hmmmmm you are sharing a room now why not continue and take the other room and make it our craft haven, lots of clapping, jumping up and down, yays and high fives we put a plan into action.
So I thought I would document this new journey, it will be done on Thrift store finds and lots of labor and hopefully Love, so onto a grown up bedroom for 2 growing girls and a creative haven.
