When it comes to fragrances I am very picky, most fragrances give me an aching head and so I tend to stay away from the lot of them. I stick to the fragrances that I know I can handle, cedar wood, light vanilla scents, light lavender scents and any scent that is considered light and woody are the type of scents I tend to be drawn to. Anything too floral and too strong smelling are definite nos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently a new store opened up in town, a store called Diptyque, a fancy french store that sells fancy scented candles, diffusers, perfume and de toilettes. A small candle costs about $28 while a large candle costs $60. So when I say "fancy" I mean "faaaaancy". I get my usual diffuser at a beauty store for $20, the diffuser lasts for quite a while, well over 6 months has been my experience- and so while $20 is, for me, quite expensive for keeping my bathroom smelling nice it is still worth the price when considering how long it lasts. So having spent $20 on diffusers in the past I decided to get a small candle ($28) to simply try it out. The selling point that worked on me? Scents such as "fireplace" and "fig", that's right, a candle that smells like you've got the fireplace going in your home, or the "fig" scent that smells like my fig tree in the backyard during fig season. The small candles probably will not last even close to 6 months but maybe the scent will turn me on to regularly spending $28 or $60, I suppose we'll see in not too long if Diptyque candles will make the cut, as for now... Here's to trying something new.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've begun drinking wine again and am growing quite a little collection, currently the bottles are lined up on my built-in wall buffet. I've decided that investing in some type of wine rack might be good for the integrity of the look of my home. There are so many types of wine racks to choose from and so far I've managed to narrow down the style I want: simple.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fs0nCJ2OE-g/Ut784W1jvSI/AAAAAAAAzPI/xR12_B-tU94/s1600/simple-wine-rack-design-semi-custom-wine-rack-wine-rack-ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fs0nCJ2OE-g/Ut784W1jvSI/AAAAAAAAzPI/xR12_B-tU94/s1600/simple-wine-rack-design-semi-custom-wine-rack-wine-rack-ideas.jpg" height="640" width="519" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The above pictured wine rack is really quite ideal, except for the fact that I never at any given moment have <i>that</i> much wine; I suppose I drink it much faster than I can save it. So while I love this straight forward timeless wine rack it is much too big.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h1LvPy3UHe8/Ut783z9Se1I/AAAAAAAAzPA/b5bxucWt0SQ/s1600/BC11_wine-cannister-rack-how-to-project-3613_s4x3_lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h1LvPy3UHe8/Ut783z9Se1I/AAAAAAAAzPA/b5bxucWt0SQ/s1600/BC11_wine-cannister-rack-how-to-project-3613_s4x3_lg.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The line of metal circles that shelves the wine rack is cute, modern, unique, clean looking and simple. But the placement of the wine rack is too final as it seems to be attached to the wall and one-by-one at that. I can only imagine the time it would take to move the wine rack should you want to.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is the simple wine rack I am looking to get for my home. Housing about 8 bottles it is the perfect size and should I need more space I can simple buy (or make) more. This style of wine rack is simple enough to make (DIY style) which is another added bonus, I will most likely forego the wine glass holder on the bottom for simplicity's sake. Imagining a row or column of two or three wine racks of this style on my gray dining room walls makes me feel that I have found the perfect wine rack- I'll take that as a big hint that I can now stop looking.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TLz7NlhEs3I/UpvWXsvbesI/AAAAAAAAzGQ/7M0UuoFM3jU/s1600/48200_full.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TLz7NlhEs3I/UpvWXsvbesI/AAAAAAAAzGQ/7M0UuoFM3jU/s400/48200_full.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently our (my husband's and I) home went through some minor construction that required our furniture to be piled into the center of the rooms, furniture that included our massive bed and our piano, to name a couple of the more heavier objects we found quite unforgivable on our backs in recent times. Very well knowing what kind of struggle we were dealing with we made time to visit our local Home Depot and purchased a couple of moving blankets, at $30 each these ugly but sturdy blankets are not cheap but are very well worth the price when you realize how much easier it is to move that piano, to move that massive bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was quite pessimistic on whether this moving blanket could make that much difference. When my piano moved in to our new home, three very burly men with muscles on top of muscles came teetering in with it, my husband alone could not pick up one end of it an inch off the ground, could a moving blanket really do magical things? Apparently, yes, it can. Something about leverage that I don't clearly understand, especially when talking about this blanket, just makes it work. Needless to say, my husband and I were able, with the help of two moving blankets, to move the piano, our massive bed with the mattress on it, a book shelf with all the books on it and so on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love these moving blankets, couldn't do it without you guys! But just to get my money's worth (even more so) they will be doubling as picnic blankets and will be going down on the floors for extra padding when I go camping.</div>
<br />

It's probably not the first time I've seen this nor the first time you've seen this but for some reason I always get wowed when I see it. It's a cork board, literally. A board full of corks, wine corks. I have to admit that after having seen one done so beautifully it makes me want to create my own, but that would be a lot of wine to drink. But if <i>you've</i> got a collection of corks already saved here's a fun project you can seriously think about doing.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My master bathroom only has a single sink but luckily our home has two bathrooms so if ever we catch ourselves fighting to brush our teeth at the same time one of us simply moves to the other bathroom to finish brushing. An amateur such as myself thought the most logical thing when our home was being renovated, our bathroom is just too small to have a double sink, apparently, I was wrong. Our bathroom wasn't too small to have a double sink- there is no such thing, but my mind was too small to think otherwise. Of course as I look at all these images of beautiful <i>small</i> bathrooms with double sinks I'm kicking myself for not thinking outside of the box and into the circle. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have a little sunroom attached to the back of our home. When we first bought our home about a year ago I had grand plans to transform the sunroom into a Moroccan style lounge, however, with all the other big fixes we were busy doing the sunroom was pushed to the back burner and so naturally, the sunroom is still in need of some serious attention. With so much time that has passed my original idea of the Moroccan lounge seems less appealing so now I'm on the hunt for a new idea, a new look. Here are a few lovely sunrooms that made an impression on me.</div>

I have to admit that I am pretty obsessed with the look of bathrooms, maybe it's because I always love being pleasantly surprised and wowed by bathrooms that exude more than what they are, a place where one relieves themselves. Here are a few bathrooms that I thought go beyond in style and unique-ness, and while I can't say all of them are user-friendly I will say the concept and style is very interesting and worth looking at.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c6LX7EaulKk/Un7R__QsS4I/AAAAAAAAyzc/TpKfn--2I5E/s1600/securedownload-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c6LX7EaulKk/Un7R__QsS4I/AAAAAAAAyzc/TpKfn--2I5E/s640/securedownload-1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A chalkboard wall is something I've always wanted in my home, a little piece of old <i>school</i> to make my home unique, fun and welcoming. There are plenty of great places to put a chalkboard wall, your kid's room of course is on top of the list, but for me the chalkboard wall took place in the kitchen. A bare awkward wall was painted over with a few coats of chalkboard paint (purchased at Home Depot) and in a few days I had a chalkboard wall to write my shopping list, reminders, planned menus, notes and such. I absolutely love it! And I'm sure my son, when he is old enough, will love it too.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wow5dxMZypw/Un7SCD_7XHI/AAAAAAAAyzk/Swt8w4w-0Lc/s1600/securedownload.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wow5dxMZypw/Un7SCD_7XHI/AAAAAAAAyzk/Swt8w4w-0Lc/s640/securedownload.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Was it hard to paint the chalkboard wall? No, not really but it does take more than splashing it on the wall. Chalkboard paint is sold at Home Depot, I merely picked the chalkboard paint and brought it home. Here's a few helpful tips I've learned while painting the chalkboard wall...</div>
<br />
1. If you want a smooth surface chalkboard wall you'll need to pick a wall with a smooth surface. Unsurprisingly the chalkboard paint will not smooth out any bumps for you. My kitchen wall has a slightly bumpy texture so naturally the final result came out well, a little bumpy. This can be seen more so when written on, it's not all too bad but still, if I was to do it over again I'd probably do it on a smooth wall.<br />
<br />
2. When the directions say "sand the wall", SAND THE WALL! Especially if you have a glossy finished wall you are planning to paint over.<br />
<br />
3. Don't be afraid to do more than two coats just remember to wait the specified amount of time to let it dry before painting your additional coats. I did three coats.<br />
<br />
4. Purchase the appropriate roller! A roller specifically for a smooth finish is what you're going to need to get this done right. I bought a couple of rollers and used a new roller for each coat that I did, just in case. The chalkboard paint specified which roller I would need- this made it loads easier!<br />
<br />
5. Don't freak out if you've found that your chalkboard paint has bled just a little bit past your taped off edges, you can always do a trim or a molding around the chalkboard which will probably only make it that much more beautiful.<br />
<br />
6. Slowly and carefully remove your tape from the taped off edges. The chalkboard paint I used is latex so when it dried and hardened I was careful to remove the tape off the edges as I was afraid it would peel or lift the paint off the wall.<br />
<br />
7. The type of chalkboard eraser you use is a factor. What? I know right! I thought all erasers were made equal, apparently not, just ask a fellow teacher. I'm not too sure if I got a good chalkboard eraser but it was reviewed pretty highly on amazon compared to all the others.<br />

I remember all too well the nightmare having to change out the toilet paper rolls in the bathroom, the spring-loaded double posted toilet paper roll holders were anything but easy to handle. I'm still not quite sure why those things still exist because the single post toilet paper roll holders are soooo awesome! It really is that easy to use and the design is flawless. The little lip at the edge of the single post holders keep the toilet roll from falling off the post and the design is so simple it's almost as if the holder isn't there at all.</div>

I try to steer clear of white even in my wardrobe but that isn't to say that the color itself isn't worthy of some notice. Check out these beautiful images of homes that consists of rooms that are whited out. The results are nothing less than ethereal.</div>

I have a tendency, like most others to focus on color when it comes to decor, and why wouldn't I? Color is affordable, the change can be big or small and you have a large selection of color to choose from to achieve the style and mood you want. But lets face it, as great as changing the color of your walls can be or adding a color to accent the room it just doesn't achieve the kind of greatness using brass to accentuate can do. It will burn a hole in your pocket for sure but if you've got the funds and the budget why not go with something more unique and a little more fab.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I lived in a one bedroom apartment that had wood floors it was 100% do-able to get on my hands and knees and give the floors a good wipe down once a month or even twice a month! But in a three bedroom house? The amount of floor space was so intimidating I couldn't get myself to do it at all! Naturally our wood floors became dusty, dirty, a little bit grimy... quite disgusting to my standards. I'd walk around and try not to notice that the floors near the open windows felt as if they were layered with invisible dirt and grime, I tried to think that the dust bunnies that were poking out from underneath the sofa were cute.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My parents have a huge house with wooden floors and their floors are always so immaculate, I wasn't quite sure how they pulled this off until I went for a visit one day and saw my Dad pushing around a broom, a Swiffer Broom! I decided to give it a try.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My husband brought one home from Home Depot, he put it together and I tried it out, amazing! I love the damn thing! How is it that I get excited to clean the floors now?! Weird right? Well, the Swiffer makes it so easy. It's definitely one of those products that are cheap and just works. The broom is very light and very easy to maneuver underneath sofas, in corners and tight spaces as the flat end swivels in all kinds of directions.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The disposable dry cloth picks up all kinds of dust and debris, even dog hair (yay!) and best of all doesn't let go of it. The sweeper can also be used with a disposable wet cloth to shine your floors. And another great thing? The cloths don't keep coming off! Which is the aggravating problem I had with my previous sweeper broom.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Amazon the Swiffer Sweeper is a mere $15.00, so if you've got wood floor cleaning problems I say give this a go, it just might be a permanent solution, I have a feeling it is for me. It's sheer enjoyment to clean the floors when it's so easy! So no more dirty feet here!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I find the funnest rooms to decorate are the rooms that you expect the least decoration from, rooms such as the mudroom, bathrooms, entryway etc. I always love walking into a bathroom with an unexpected design. Below are a few choice images of bathrooms with exceptionally unique decor that will hopefully open your eyes to a whole new way of thinking... about your restrooms.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The teal wood panelled walls and raised platform for the claw-foot tub caught my eye in this image. It's a prairie house bathroom gone chic!</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The tile and tub of this restroom reminds me of the old restrooms in the older homes I've seen except usually the tiles I've seen in these homes are usually pink. I love the green tiles here and how they go so unexpectedly well with the marble sink counter top.</td></tr>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Like the next person I can easily be coaxed into thinking a purchase is a great deal and therefore awesome when the price is low enough, but of course, this isn't the case... No matter how low the price tag is. Do you know the saying, "you get what you pay for?"- well, this is exactly the case with cb2.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have so often excitedly walked into cb2 thinking how much I loved the store, in fact I loved the store because it was so mod and hip but not only that, I can afford things here and more! I took home throw pillow cases, dinnerware, dinner serving pieces, bought eight drinking glasses to fill up my kitchen cabinet! Only to later realize, sometimes months later what a <i><b>great deal</b></i>! it wasn't. Hah! How's that for irony.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why was it that the identical drinking glasses weren't the same weight, some were remarkably lighter than others although they were supposed to exactly the same, some of the glass was thicker others thinner. Why was it that the cute, colored square serving plates were peeling! Why was it that the flat rectangular serving plate seemed so fragile? Well, I got what I paid for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lesson learned was that there are some things in life worth saving on, and then there are things such as kitchenware that one should not.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KHFXmIVxA3U/UjKfSWoVWJI/AAAAAAAAx_s/XGPA3ro64aQ/s1600/Screen+shot+2013-09-12+at+10.14.31+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KHFXmIVxA3U/UjKfSWoVWJI/AAAAAAAAx_s/XGPA3ro64aQ/s1600/Screen+shot+2013-09-12+at+10.14.31+PM.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not knowing how to properly wash my baby bottles and bottle nipples I would soak them in very hot soapy water and then rinse them out- this proved to be not too helpful although they looked clean enough, but looking <i>clean enough</i> isn't what you really want for your baby is it? I took a trip through Amazon (my new favorite place to shop these days as I'm home-tied with little baby and all) and perused through all the bottle and more specifically baby bottle cleaners, read the reviews, looked at the pictures and all. Many of the other bottle brushes were too large to be inserted into a baby bottle and then I came upon the Simba Rotary Sponge Bottle Brush that also comes with a nipple brush as well, I read a review in which one of the writers stated that it fit into 5oz. baby bottle and at an affordable eight dollars I was willing to give the Simba a try.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sponge is pretty durable and upon first look you may not think it can't fit into a 5oz baby bottle but it does, it is a sponge after all and can compress into rather tight spaces. Needless to say, my bottles are shiny and clean and so are the bottle nipples. I have to admit that after having cleaned them with the Simba rotary which simply works as it should, amazing! That I was beating up myself for having fed my child with such dirty bottles and nipples! I've also found that the nipple brush is a very useful tool for cleaning other things as well, such as my breast pump parts!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Simba Rotary is one of those purchase items that you rave about, a simple design, an affordable price and just works as it should, I'm absolutely in love with it and can see me holding onto the Simba rotary for quite a long time as it can be used to clean other bottles and small items as well.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all love a good sale. When we shop a sale we feel good that we saved that extra dollar or two that can be used to buy yet even more cool stuff. But lets face it, sometimes we can shop a sale and still not get our dollars worth. Sometimes sale items can still be too expensive for our budget and sometimes we purchase sale items and realize that they should have been marked at even lower prices, this brings me to my I Stand Behind post today, Taking Advantage of West Elm Sales.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love West Elm. I find almost all of their furnishings on the rather expensive side considering the quality (and so, honestly, would never think of purchasing furniture there) but everything else: dinnerware, curtains, hardware, lighting, pillows, baskets and etc. I find to be tasteful and well made. I have as of late noticed that I only purchase West Elm products when they are on sale, and it is because it is so easy to do so, West Elm always has one sale or another going on and they are very good sales too. So while they may have been fairly priced beforehand they become, on sale, very affordable well made and well styled home products. Below are a few notable things that I found on sale at West Elm.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have lived with more than my share of small kitchens, while as a food enthusiasts I would of course prefer to have a large kitchen with room to spare small kitchens really aren't all that bad. It can keep one imaginative on ways to add extra storage and on how to dupe the senses that the kitchen is larger than it actually is. Another plus to small kitchens (or small anywheres!) they are much easier to decorate due to their lack of space.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Below are a few choice pictures I was able to pick-out of small kitchens with loads of character to help inspire you transform your own small kitchen, should you have one, into something fun and/or beautiful!</div>

Originally, I had an old bulky stand alone shelf in the corner, it was a real eye sore but it did the trick in terms of storage for the time. I had always planned to put up wall shelving in its place it just took a great long while, but it's finally up! Thanks to my awesome handy husband. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were able to buy all the wood items to create the shelf from Ikea, even the wood island is a purchase from Ikea that we made a couple of years ago, it makes a convenient table right next to our washer and dryer. I'm so blown away by how much more beautiful the change made the mudroom/pantry that I just had to share it!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Up until recently I was using a kitchen island as a counter top in my bathroom and for awhile I had noticed how cluttered and messy the bathroom was looking due to the towels and things on the exposed shelving on the lower part of the kitchen island. Had I not had so many items and so many different colored and differently designed towels perhaps the exposed shelving of the kitchen island may not have ended up looking so untidy. I purchased a 3-drawer dresser in a red stain (the Hemnes 3-drawer dresser from Ikea) as a way to clean up the look of the bathroom and get it to look the way I wanted it which is tidy, eclectic and charming.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As with most Ikea products the dresser was assembled at home, but the Hemnes dresser is sturdy, a perfect size for my bathroom with surprisingly large dresser space that is deep as well as wide, and looks of great quality. The drawer bottoms are also lined with charming simple line printed paper which I thought was a touch that really went the extra mile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Best of all, although I purchased this dresser as a furniture/storage piece to be placed in the bathroom this dresser can be used pretty much anywhere, even in the kitchen should you so choose, it will no doubt add an eclectic charm to any space. At a price that is less than two hundred dollars I find this furniture/storage piece to be greatly affordable considering the versatility of where it can be placed, the ample storage space, the quality and the beautiful appearance.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kDQujpJCDxg/UhFp7-W6LeI/AAAAAAAAxjo/jAhxL0YeMiM/s1600/68f0501afeba.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kDQujpJCDxg/UhFp7-W6LeI/AAAAAAAAxjo/jAhxL0YeMiM/s1600/68f0501afeba.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Open shelving is not only great if you are looking to add a bit charm into a space but is also convenient, no opening of cabinet doors or drawers is needed, simply reach over and grab. Of course this also means that everything on the shelves are exposed to all eyes. One may presume that keeping their open shelving will be quite simple because they are in fact a very tidy person- this is what I thought, but I quickly learned that there are a few things that can make open shelving belonging to the tidiest of people, cluttery and messy looking. And so, while I am a huge fan of open shelving and use it in my home almost wherever I can, the cluttery mess that can come with it is a very real <i>issue</i>, there is a fine line between neat & charming and just downright messy. Here are a few pointers on how to pull off and what to stay away from when considering open shelving for a space in your home.</div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
1. Have a color scheme in mind- This will keep it looking organized and thought out.<br />
<br />
2. Give the shelved items some space - Don't put the items on your shelf so close together they don't have room to breath, this will automatically create a cluttered look to your shelves.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NGq8GB7emZg/UhFp71AkO1I/AAAAAAAAxkE/PjcinmSDIpw/s1600/kitchen2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NGq8GB7emZg/UhFp71AkO1I/AAAAAAAAxkE/PjcinmSDIpw/s1600/kitchen2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Jar, box or basket sets is good - If you are opting to store some items in containers, picking <i>same</i> containers is a must, once again, it will keep it looking organized and thought out.<br />
<br />
4. The simpler the better - Just because you've got all that shelf space doesn't mean you have to pack it up from left to right, top to bottom, unless you want to look like a hoarder.<br />
