The Bachelor Pad From Heaven

Every time I step into my babes house my body just cringes. The scenery is as depressing as depressing can get. The dark grey walls, The Navy blue curtains with matching comforters, the drawn shades so not even a peak of sunlight can hit the walls, the fluorescent lights that flicks on and off hanging on to its last watt, and them all black everything dressers. Gym socks I may stumble across and boxers that fell an inch short of the hamper just adds to my misery.  They say your home is your solitude and if you are at your babes how as much as I am, then his casa is tu casa. However, you have not received the a-Ok to move in yet. How do you turn your boyfriend/boy toy Bachelor Pad into a place where you feel apart of the equation. You don't want to be too forward; entering the house with an Extreme Home Makeover crew and a pail of Roses are Pink Paint. You have to make certain changes, that are not huge and can accommodate him and you both. Get out your wallet, and your sneaky feline ways and lets get ready to RUUUMMMBBLLLEEE.
Scent:
The Scent of a house is everything. It is nothing more horrible then to walk into a home with a lingering stench. I wont say that most men house stink, nope. But most men house either lack a scent or the one they do have is nothing to rave about. There are scents you can introduce to your man as simple as buying a plug-in and there are other scents you can create.
Most men do not mind a light fresh scent. anything sweet and fruity may totally tic them off.
I say go with
Bath and Body Works WallFlowers
 Fresh Cotton: (fresh, clean blend of white jasmine petals, lemon zest and nuances of rose and spring muguet.)  or
Fresh Linen: (Crisp and clean, reminiscent of linen sheets drying in the sun, with refreshing, light hints of apple, kiwi and violets.)
These wallflowers last 6-8 weeks and contains two bulbs in each pack. The great part about them is they're usually on sale for 6 dollars. These scents also come in candles and oils.

Laundry is also a way to add fragrance to your man home. I'm not saying to get your betty homemaker on, nope no way. I am saying to suggest some tips or add some detergents when he is washing his clothes. Because men usually have a lot of white clothes; boxers, t-shirts, and socks. It is best to invest in OxiClean and Clorox Stain Fighter and Color Booster Pack. These two things combine without the harmful affect of bleach or with the harmful affect of bleach will def have your clothes whiter and brighter. Yet, There is the usage of Ultra Downy April Fresh that really adds to the scent of things. No matter if your babes uses 1.99 Trend Laundry Detergent (like my grandmother did), he must definitely invest in Ultra Downy April Fresh and make sure he adds this to the 1st cycle and the last. When Drying the socks and boxers suggest he throws in a few Gain Original Scent Dryer Sheets. But take those freshly washed White tee-shirts and hang them through the house to air- dry, this should take less than a day. The house will have such a fresh clean scent with a hint sweetness (enough that he can bare)

Sheets and comforters and those dreary curtains, UGHHHH:
Now the scent of the house is one thing. Who doesn't like to smell good? However, the changing of fabrics is something totally different. I am definitely suggesting you approach with caution when changing your love bedroom set. If you really are tired of them dark forest colors that you find are the reasons behind your nightmares day and night. I suggest that you plan a day to go house shopping. It is best you let him know that you are going shopping for your place and he should come along and go shopping for his. If he refuses; which most men may. Just tell him you will pick up a few things for him as well. When looking for bedding stick to colors that are light but not girly. White is always a neutral color for both parties. Royal blue or sky blue is an option. But a mint green or money green, and a lemon yellow is better; especially if you can find something with a hint of red. Stay away from lace and floral bedding's. I say get a solid bedding or one with stripes. Anything else may just scream "I'm taking over"
When it comes to curtain the lighter the material the better. However toooo light of material may seem too feminine. Soo If you are having problems with finding curtains Blinds are always a good look.

Last but not least,

Where do your things go: It is best to have a Drawer or a bag that can be placed in a Drawer for your things. Nothing is more invading then a man walking into his room to find your Summer Eve's Douche just a sitting pretty on his dresser. The Medicine cabinet is off limits as well, unless you have some medication to go in there. Feel free to keep your wash clothe in the bathroom, To leave a toothbrush on the sink, and even a body wash in the tub (he might even use it)
But Clothes, feminine products, perfumes, and body sprays, oh yeah nail polishes need to be placed in a more secure place. Remember you're not living together. So Respect his privacy and his space, by keeping most of your items at home or out of his way. If you feel the need to add a plant to the setting; making it more natural and relaxing. make sure it is something with out a flower/bulb a Cane Plant is a def a hitter! Open them Windows, Clear the air, Make the bed!! and get ready to be the Queen of His Palace.

Stay Sweet!
