My version of this is a simplistic mix of 1 teaspoon baking soda in an old roll on container and the rest just water. I add a few drops of cheap oil and just shake. I live on the humid coast of Australia and have a strong natural body odour when left unattended but this mix really works. I even roll it under my ample bust to stop problems there after a basic google search showed positive with baking soda and breast cancers. I had major problems a few years ago using straight baking soda but have been using this mix for about a year with no side effects.

Some people like to have little treats in their drawers so they can continue to be hospitable to their guests, so maybe boxes of chocolates or individually packed biscuits. Home Away From Home: Making a Hospital Stay More Comfortable |

Here in NSW Australia it seems that we have to ask permission for every nail we hang in our rentals so when I wanted a shelf in my house I took a differnet approach. Fortunately I have picture rails that hide nail holes so I nailed in two very strong nails right above the rail. I can take these out later but no one can complain that I have affected the walls at all. Then using some chain I simply hung up a shelf - an old piece of wide skirting board that someone had thrown out.

I regularly clean the crevices and such on my machine because I like it that way but have never had to clean the hidden parts until my latest machine, a Samsung. I couldn't believe it when after only having it for 6 months I started to get a strange smell. I did a clean as found on Pinterest but forgot to leave the machine soaking for the hour. It is much better but next time I will try to remember to let it soak. I alos like the idea of using bi-carb soda too. Thanks for this. How To Clean a Washing Machine Apartment Therapy Tutorials |

great to see the photos taken from the same vantage point. This really shows it up well. I guess the lesson here is to refine the colour scheme makes the space appear larger. Before & After: Three Years Worth of Decor Changes in One Warsaw Apartment House Call |

I like to mix patterns and colours but always in a semi-controlled way. All of the rooms you have shown would overwhelm me. My first house after my marriage breakup reflected complete freedom but after that I toned things down again so that even with an eclectic style I feel peaceful.

You have too many colors - dark wood, light wood, white, yellow plus all your bits and pieces. You also have conflicting styles in the doors. The door into the room should be changed over to a plain door to fit the style of the room. The dark wood trims painted and the room de-cluttered with the microwave disappearing below the kitchen island. Also paint the walls as close to the white as possible - perhaps a half tone of the rest of the house so the differences aren't so noticeable. Then pick ONE accent colour and bring it in with a two or three counter items and one large picture over the breakfast bar which should either be completely empty or else set for a meal.

You should only buy something controversial 1) if you have heaps of money 2) it expresses the real you.ie. you are a shabby chic person, you've always done bold statements, etc. Will I Regret a Pink Sofa? |

Power tools, a great paint brush and the best pots and pans. A matching set of cutlery and glassware (make that 'unbreakable glassware) would be good too. And a neat linen press. What Do You Need to Live Like a Grown-Up? |
