I also place drops of the lavender oil on the corner of the lounge cushion or rug or whatever. <BR/>Diffusers are popular here too. I don't like the sort you plug in, they give me headaches, rather a bottle of nice smelling oil, with about 5 bamboo reeds in it, long enough to stick out on top of the bottle. The oils then go into the reeds and fill the room naturally. I love it. I might try and do a post on this 'thing' so you can see.Hill upon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295311920146857840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356332869012029488.post-25319267809284165502008-10-07T12:49:00.000-07:002008-10-07T12:49:00.000-07:00I'm with Visty on how to make the house smell nice...I'm with Visty on how to make the house smell nice.

I tried candles and sprays (and of course cleaning like crazy), but they only last so long. I recently got a Wall Flower from Bath and Body Works and it gives a coninual smell. I love it. I got a pumpkin scent for now so whenever I come in the door it makes me feel all fall like.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028123268101921660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356332869012029488.post-18681282448570091922008-10-03T16:22:00.000-07:002008-10-03T16:22:00.000-07:00Hey, thanks for the shout out!!!!

(And if there's no breeze, don't worry. It will still work! But definitely start with this one to air things out a bit.) 2) Spritz Febreeze on large cloth surfaces - sofas, curtains, chairs, maybe even the rug! They retain odors from cooking and past smelly-days, so give them a quick fresh start. 3) Lastly, once you close up the windows & doors for the evening, give everything a delicious smell for the evening by baking a favorite cookie or treat recipe. Or maybe bread... mmmm... the smell of fresh bread!CMNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03963184479062522989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356332869012029488.post-45445246955334230882008-10-03T13:05:00.000-07:002008-10-03T13:05:00.000-07:00Your list is great!

I stew cinnamon sticks on the stove too and if I don't have oranges you can stick apples in there (just don't burn them - D did this once when I came home from a girls weekend and he was trying to cover up the enormous mess in the house). <BR/><BR/>I would hire someone to paint your living room - it's not that expensive to outsource and easy to check off your list.<BR/><BR/>And happy birthday (even if it's two weeks away!).
