Household Tips

Ant Control:
  • Spread some ground cinnamon where you think the ants are coming in to the house.

  • Basil repels flies and mosquitoes. To deter ants, use catnip. Sprinkle it in their paths.

  • Make a mixture of 2/3 cup water, 1/3 cup white vinegar, and 2-3 Tablespoons dish soap. Spray where the ants are marching.

Natural Mosquito Repellents:
  • Splashing plain rubbing alcohol on yourself and allowing it to dry will deter mosquitoes from biting you.

  • Rub Vick's Vaporub® on your pants and legs to ward off ticks.

  • Use half vanilla (has to be pure vanilla) and half water and for a mosquito and tick repellent.

  • Dab lavender oil on your pulse points; it smells great on you but repels insects.

For Mouse Control:
  • Place USED kitty litter from a litter box in small tubs in several places around the garage. Mice think... "it smells like a cat--must be a cat - I'm outta here!".

  • Buy a mesh/net laundry bag that you would use for washing nylons and 5 boxes of moth balls. Put the moth balls in the bag and hang it in your garage near the door to get rid of mice, birds, and bugs.

  • To prevent mice from gaining entry to your garage, stop up any openings with steel wood pads. Mice will not chew through these!

  • Sprinkle ground cayenne pepper around the garage (inside & out), and especially near entry holes. Pests don't care for the smell of it.

  • Mice hate the scent of peppermint extract. Simply sprinkle *pure* peppermint extract on the items in your garage you don't want the mice in or on.

BATHROOM TILE


Your bathroom tiles can set the tone for the whole space. A dynamic flooring pattern flooring pattern or a deep wall color can make the difference as you remodel your bathroom.

Obviously, a nice bathroom needs a tile floor. Tile is a premium product and as such represents an impressive upgrade over any other floor. The only disadvantage is the cold feel. No body likes to walk on a cold floor in the morning. There are several steps you can take to make sure you install the perfect tile or stone in your bathroom.

Use warm-colored floors. Use the softening effect of warm-colored floors to offset the cool looks of fixtures.

Paint the walls a warm color (soft gold, warm russet) to counteract the 'coldness' of tile, flooring, and porcelain fixtures.

Be conscious of color: color can greatly affect the human psyche: it can induce feeling and set the mood. When beginning a design, it is important to find out what colors calm you. Begin with a neutral base, such as beige. Brighter colors can be brought in through accent tiles and accessories.

(Source : From Jhon Tucker Must Die movie)


DID YOU KNOW ?

Pillows were originally used mainly by the wealthy, and have been found in Ancient Egyptian tombs. The difficulty of sophisticated dyes and sewing techniques led to the development of pillows as an art form, with highly decorated pillows becoming prized commodities first in China and Persia and later in Medieval Europe. The Industrial Revolution saw the mass production of decorated textiles and decorated pillows. Traditional Chinese pillows are often hard boxes made from stone, wood, metal, or porcelain instead of stuffed fabric.

SMALL KITCHEN STORAGE TIPS

When I think of what I REALLY use in my good-sized kitchen on Long Island with the important disclaimer that I am probably an average cook, average being defined as a GOOD cook (of course!) and one who enjoys cooking, but perhaps not one who cooks with abandon on a frequent basis, needing a batterie de cuisine my disposal at any given moment, it is helpful to get perspective on what one THINKS one needs, which may be different than every-day habits. That was a run-on sentence if I've ever seen one....yeeesh!

Point being...some back to basics thoughts for small kitchen storage planning:

1. Be honest with yourself...what do you really need, what will you really use in regard to cooking equipment?

2. If you want the bread maker and the rice cooker, can they be stored elsewhere in the apartment/home if there is no room in the immediate kitchen area? I don't want you to do without it, but consider alternative storage places...like under the bed or in a closet if you need to.

3. Counter space rules in a small kitchen. It sounds obvious but bears repeating: Put as much away or on shelves as possible to keep your countertops clear. I think all of us are surprised at how quickly we get used to items accumulating on our countertops.

4. If possible, put the paper towel holder on the sink cabinet door as well as a basket for the liquid soap and sponge. A pull out towel rack can be fitted in a very small space in the sink cabinet as well.

5. Periodically, every few months, take stock of your pantry items and organize them. You will be more likely to use those items which previously could not be seen and not buy duplicates. Organize them as to size or type, whatever works.

6. Do the same for the refrigerator. You are less likely to buy those extra condiments if the refrigerator is well organized. Organize by size or type.

7. Think about removing pantry food items and storing them the new old-fashioned way to save on storage space - in Tupperware type containers. Also check out Rubbermaid and the Container Store.

8. Everything should have a home. Again, it seems obvious, but the home for all items and categories of items should be clear and obvious so accessibility is quick and efficient.

9. Have a nearby closet? Use the inside door as a spice rack, hanging spot for pots on a wire grid, flat pans, or other tools for easy access.

10. Organize pots on this handy item, the Pantree. Use roll out shelves were possible in base cabinets. A Pantree on a roll out shelf sounds great to me!

This is not meant to encourage you to pack in all the storage you can in your kitchen. Just as in any size kitchen, I want you to carefully consider, probably more so than one would in a large kitchen, the equal importance of aesthetics. If a bit of storage needs to be sacrificed for a decorative item like a painting or shelf with a few items for display, make that sacrifice, please! I want you to be surrounded with a meaningful and aesthetically pleasing kitchen interior. I cannot overstate my opinion on this. A small kitchen should not be solely utilitarian....just because it is space challeneged. You deserve both, aesthetics in regard to personal decoration AND function!
