Here's a simple and easy decorating idea when you need a large tablecloth for a party, but don't have time to make one or run to the store: Just raid your linen closet. A large flat sheet -- a thick one such as flannel works best -- looks great on the table, usually comes in a neutral, solid color and is machine washable after the party.

With the holiday season fast approaching, many of us will pull out taper candles for the formal dining room table. Over time, candles can warp and go from pin-straight to curved, making for unsightly candles that can drip hot wax all over the table. To re-straighten them, simply fill a sink or shallow baking dish with very hot water (not boiling) and let the candles soak. When they are soft enough, bend them back into shape.

Most fragrances are made with artificial chemicals that can be unhealthy for you or contribute to unhealthy air quality. The problem with traditional perfume sprays is that you can't control where the perfume goes; it can go into the air, onto your skin, and onto your clothes. If you love your conventional scent and can't do without it, try the next best thing: buy the solid perfume version of it. With a solid perfume, you can apply the scent directly to your pulse points and control how much you use.
