Right now, mine smells like the strawberries in my dehydrator! I had not even thought about it making my house smell so great. Just an added bonus I guess.
When you walk in my house you can almost always smell laundry detergent because you walk in through the laundry room and with two little boys and a farmer husband, I am always washing something. And with our little house, anywhere you go you can smell what I am cooking! Hopefully that isn't too bad of a thing....
It seems like everyone's house has a unique smell, even when nothing is going on. You could probably blindfold me and take me to my parents' house or my mother-in-law's and I could tell where we were just by the smell. Funny isn't it? Not really one thing, but a combination of scents that is just so in that place. |

My house smells like paint right now. We are redecorating the basement.

Breakfast (still!), wet dogs, lavender baby powder and honeysuckle. The windows are open, it's been raining and the wind is bringing the scent of wet honeysuckle inside.

Mine smells like lavendar lotion, baby diapers, and apple cinnamon from my tart burner. (The tart burner is trying to cover up the diaper smell..lol

Right now my house smells clean! My DD cleaned it for my birthday present. But she used some bleach before I could stop her. I had to spray strawberry spray to mask it. But that was sweet of her to do that. I love a clean house.

Mine smells like just slightly-burned pita breads coming out of the oven and wet dirt - I'm baking and we're irrigating the farm right now. It's really pleasant - I can hear the sound of water running over rocks in dirt ditches under the front walkway, and the little boys trudge in in their boots EVERY TIME, spreading mud over the kitchen floor, and EVERY TIME, I have to remind them that BOOTS STAY IN THE MUDROOM!!!!
XOXO, Libbie

funny! Mine smells like cow crap because I desperately need to wash hubby's barn clothes. NOTHING gets that stink out! Better than pig poo I suppose....

Dawn you crack me up!
Mine smells like Red Currant (just got through cleaning) and bread baking, because I am baking bread for my honey :) Oh and alfalfa blowing in the window from the breeze.

Yea, even pig poo smells worse than rhino!
Ours smells like lavender most of the time or sage. I burn white sage after running the vacuum
Other times, just a clean no-smell. Just what I want.
And we even have a dog!

You guys crack me up!
I know what you mean, Toni, about being able to tell where you are by the scent. I would know I was in Grandma's house by the scent (for those of you thinking apple pie and lavender, forget it...more like old cheese and boiled cabbage), and the other day my office smelled just like the vestibule at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church!

Our house smells like brand new apartment (so that "wonderful" new carpet smell. But beyond that, clean.

Our house smells like herbs, herbs and more herbs. Not any one kind.
I don't even smell it any more, but people comment on it all the time.

| Sometimes wish I could replicate that herby smell you get when you first walk into Whole Foods or Earth Fare. Spices, herbs and food on the fresh salad bar. |

Strawberries!
My daughter and I picked 82 pounds yesterday and the dehydrator is going full blast. More loads of jam today will make it smell even more wonderful.

My house ususally smells like what ever I am cooking. Right now it smells like outdoor grill T-bone steaks. I am boiling the bones from our cookout last night. Going to take the little bit of left over meat, a couple of left over baked potato, maybe the left over greenbeans and a little carrot and add it to the pot after the bones have boiled and removed. It makes wonderful steak soup.
My favorite smell is the motorhome, it has leather furniture. But it soon smells like what ever I am cooking. |

I just emptied the diaper pail from the little guy I babysit. So I'm sure you can guess on that. Then I wrangled a lamb back into the pasture that has recently learned to go through the fence, so I smell like wet lamb a bit, and then my favorite smell of the morning... fresh brewed coffee.

| I'm drying ropes of Italian Oregano, Thyme and Rosemary one of those wooden clothes-drying racks in the kitchen. It "smells up" the whole house. Fabulous! |

My house smells like gardenias. My daughters have a bush outside their apartment and they know I love gardenias, so when I left today to come home they filled my stuff with the flowers the picked off the bush. Love my kids and gardenias.
