This is so pretty!

I have looked all over for a linen spray or a linen closet scent that lasted and was wonderful. I found by squirting a bit of my Lavender candle fragrance (from CandleScience) on a wash cloth and sticking it in the linen closet is a great idea! It permeates the linens and is very clean and light when you change the sheets!

You could probably purchase whatever scent you wanted from this Tennessee Company. They have good reviews on their scents.

You're so thrifty!!! Congratulations!

My daughter and SIL thought they had purchased a home until the inspector found a crack in the foundation, so that deal was off. She was looking at another last night and called her Daddy to see about moving the washer and dryer connections into the garage giving her another closet! LOL! Every little girl needs her daddy!

Our house will be payed for in nine more years!

That's the best way to do it! I need an area rug for one of my guest bedrooms. I would love to find something for under $100 on sale!

Houses are in abundance out there right now. We have the real estate agent coming tomorrow to look at our to put on the market. Hope it sells quickly. (Maybe you all can say a prayer for us!)

We looked for about a year and a half. I am tired of moving but my husband has itchy feet. When he got cancer he was like "I HAVE to buy a house with acreage NOW!". Woah. That was a bit rough and tumble. So, he will be happy now for a little bit and I will be happy because I also love the country AND the equity.
