Decorating With Smell

This is one of my favorites. A good smelling home. "And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume" John 12:3 We've talked before about how the stamp of Jesus and his love on your house fills it with the best fragrance you can find. Here are some more great options.

• dab the top of a cold light bulb with vanilla extract and turn the light on-it will smell like you've been baking when in reality you've been in your pj's surfin the net...i...i mean you've been providing educational learning activities for your children all day long in between spot cleaning hard to reach places and preparing a well balanced nutritious digornio...i mean meal for your family
• light a candle-this is a double good one-you get the ambiance of the flicker of the light and you get smell. my recommendation right now-TYLER HOMECOMING-listen to this definition: Memories come to mind of falling leaves, football games, and family gatherings. Spiced orange and cinnamon are combined with allspice to complete this warm and inviting fragrance. Color Golden Amber...if you have to have this candle you can go to http://www.suepatrick.com/ and when you spend $25 she will ship to you for free...i am so sorry i am enabling you today, it's a weakness of mine
• cook something that smells good like a roast/crock pot recipes
• 
  
• bake cookies. bake cake. bake brownies.
• place cinammon sticks, cloves, orange slices in a saucepan filled with water. simmer uncovered. homemade potpourri.
• 
  
• spray a great smelling spray around the doorway/entrance right before company comes. aromatique has gggggreeeeeat options.
• use linen spray on your sheets before you crawl in. lavender vanilla from bath and body works is a great option. egyptian cotton from bed bath and beyond is another great option.
• use scented shelf liner in your drawers and on your closet shelves. my favorite is summer hill from crabtree and evelyn.
• pledge and windex make your house smell clean and fresh.
  
• shine your surfaces. right before you are expecting company give your bathroom counter tops and kitchen sink/counters a generous spray with windex and wipe down quickly with a clean cloth. run a quick vacuum and your house is spruced up.
