Image: Clair Strong Interior Design It’s coming up for spring cleaning season. For me, spring cleaning isn’t just an opportunity to finally defrost the freezer and dry clean the curtains. It’s time to get the entire house in order. I’m talking decluttering and organising cupboards, drawers and wardrobes like my life (and sanity) depends on…
