My Home Makeover: Cleaning Up and Remodeling

I’m so excited to bring you the first episode of my new “My Home Makeover” series. As I mentioned, I’m completely redoing my condo. And I want to bring you along with me through the entire process. Every Sunday, I will be vlogging about my home makeover from the initial stages of preparing for renovation to the final stages of decorating.

This week is a little embarrassing because I’m showing you the cleaning up process. I’ve lived in my West Hollywood condo for about nine years. You can see photos of what it looked like when it was clean in my old home tour with The Everygirl.

The amount of stuff I accumulated over the years is insane! Between appointments with my designer and contractor, I started a major deep clean of the space. And I learned many lessons along the way.

I hope you enjoy the first episode and let me know what you want to see more of in upcoming weeks!

    Remodeling projects are so exciting, especially when it comes to renovating smaller spaces. Don’t worry about the condo being a bit messy, it will become even messier but in the end it will be worth it!

    Good, but I need not a home remodelling, but a good cleaning. I inherited a house from my grandfather, but the old man couldn’t clean it properly.

    And what sort of cleaning are you looking for? If you meant duct cleaining and things like this, you need to contact https://comfortclean.com/ as these people are real professionals. This, of course, can be just my opinion, but we liked the way they cleared all ducts in our office from dust and by-products of street smog.

    Cleaning the air conditioner ensures long-term operation of the unit, extends the warranty period, and also helps maintain clean and healthy air in the room. Even if the air conditioner visually looks good, it is recommended to periodically perform diagnostics, which will allow you to identify minor faults and not spend money on expensive repairs later, or not buy a new air conditioner at all. Here you can find a complete guide to preparing the air conditioner for summer https://callheliosair.com/how-to-prepare-air-conditioner-for-summer

    Consider renewal when the term ends, or modify to accommodate changing circumstances. Lease agreements are more than just Lease Agreements paperwork—they are essential tools for a seamless rental experience. Taking the time to draft and understand them ensures smooth sailing for both landlords and tenants. Consider subletting or negotiating with the landlord.
