wfmw – cozy home scents

October 6, 2010 By: amyswandering1 Comment

This week’s WFMW has an Entertaining theme.

I love to create a cozy atmosphere in my home, especially when people come over. A burning candle is part of our everyday life.

There are lots of inexpensive ways to add a lovely scent to your home:

~ Keep a pot of simmering spices on the stove

~ Wash all of your linens in this fabric softener & they will smell like warm vanilla sugar

~ Toss pinecones, orange peels or cinnamon sticks into the fire

~ Sprinkle peppermint oil or vanilla on cottonballs and hide them around the house.

~ Tuck a perfume strip from a magazine into a drawer or cabinet

~ Sprinkle some cinnamon inside your vacuum cleaner bag

~ Toss a fabric softener sheet into the bottom of your trashcan after you empty it

~ Make your own Febreze with 2 cups warm water, 1 T baking soda and 2-3 T fabric softener – test a small spot first before using

~ Add a couple of drops of essential oil to a box of baking soda to make your own carpet deodorizer

~ Fill a basket with scented pinecones – I fill a planter on our porch to greet guests with a cinnamon-y welcome

What do you do to make your home cozy?

Run on over to We Are That Family for tons of entertaining tips!
