You can use permanent adhesive vinyl for a project like this, but if you want to kick the design up a notch, you can create an etched design with Citristrip paint stripper.

Each month can be customized, so you can add your tasks and schedule without needing to print out new calendars. 14. Cord Organizers Here’s a fun project that will create a useful item with your Cricut – cord organizers. For this project, you’ll use your machine to cut out a unique shape for your organizer. Then, you can add a string or a snap button to hold the organizer together. You can use whatever material you like, but faux leather works really well and can stand up to heavy use. If you want, you can add a monogram or another design, but It’s not necessary. These make great little gifts or craft fair projects. 15.

How to Clean Up the Room In 5 Minutes
Organize your room in 6 simple steps Your bedroom ought to be your personal sanctuary, a place in which you can lie down at each day and allow all your worries and troubles drift away. However, because your bedroom is not properly organized, you have turned it into a store-like area where no one is allowed to enter. Your room is a big disaster, books on your bed, clothes all around the floor, necklaces and hair ties, and cords and chargers, all snaking around your room, hairspray sticky surfaces, empty peach bottles, hardened snot tissues, and a dresser which is buried under a crap mountain. You out to have clean and tidy your room during the week however you did not, and now that very cool person you will want/like to impress and build your reputation is visiting you in the next 10 minutes to hang out or study for the very first time and you had just got back to your room. The following are things to do in order to get your room organized quickly: 1.Cover your bed with a bed quilt Of course, I know there’s a major debate on whether or not to cover your bed with a quilt. After all you will probably go back into it within few hours. But in case we make use of that mentality, for other places in our home, then there’s also no need to clean dishes, floors, or do our laundry. Why do you have to wash something when it will be used again? Covering the bed using a bed quilt changes and transform the look of your room. It makes the room more uncluttered looking and inviting. Your bed is the largest thing in the bedroom; covering it will give an impression that your room is a lot more uncluttered. Do not spend too much time on this, just pull the quilts up and then drag and cover it over the bed. In case you desire it to look just as if you didn’t just make the bed, lie down on it, and then get out of it again to leave an “I have sat on this bed” imprint. Place that item you had obviously engaged with such as, book of poetry, laptop, and collage on your now-tidied bed close to the pillows. bed-cover-quilt Facebook Pinterest Buy now> 2. Arrange all the things which are scattered around the room in a large basket In case it is shoes and clothes that are all over the room too. Then go and get a laundry basket, put everything inside it (let the shoes be kept at the bottom), and then set the basket against a wall. You were just about doing a whole lot of laundry! Rather you can get a storage basket and stuff everything in that, and then throw it inside your closet. If it is papers and books that are flying around the room, you should be making sure every single book and all sheets of paper are picked up, irrespective of what they are, and then put all of them in tidy piles on the bed floor or on your desk with the trendiest and smartest magazines and books on display. storage-basket---room-organizing Facebook Pinterest Buy now> 3. Get a storage bench to arrange the rest of the things Since you are in hurry, do not worry too much about unrolled socks, and pulling your shirts out. These tasks are much easier to carry out while you sort the laundry. Just get all the dirty clothes and put them in a storage bench. In case you have a large amount of clean clothing lying and waiting to get hung and folded, then skip this step and put the clothing basket semi-neatly on the bed after you must have made it. You can also keep your bed as a hostage and keep reminding yourself to always take a few minutes so as to put away the clothing before going to bed. storage-bench---room-organizing Facebook Pinterest Buy now> 4. Get an easy floor cleaner Carefully select the cleaner you want to use in cleaning the floor in order to get rid of any dirt. This step can be difficult, because knowing the right floor cleaner to use for cleaning the house is not as easy as it may seem. A clean floor space will bring out the beauty of any room, making it look less untidy. floor-cleaner-room-organizing Facebook Pinterest Buy now> 5. Use Disinfecting wipes to clean the room If you have decided to clean the room, then make use of wipes that do not contain any infections in them. A disinfecting wipe is the perfect choice if you want to tidy your room. Not only does it make the cleaning process easier, but it always gives you 100% guarantee that your room is changing for the better. wipes-clean-up-the-room-fast Facebook Pinterest Buy now> 6. Use an automatic spray air refresher Do not opt for a manual air refresher, rather go for the automatic air refresher spray type. If you are someone who always have a busy schedule, but you would have wanted your room or office to have that breathtaking smell, then I will advise you purchase an automatic spray air refresher, as it sprays automatically with or without you being present.

16 Affordable Boho Bedroom Ideas to Copy for a Chic Home
The bohemian aesthetic has been trending for the past few years, and we don’t think it’s going to die out anytime soon. The Bohemian style, also known as boho, is all about creating a relaxing atmosphere with worldly patterns and organic elements. If you want to upgrade your bedroom and turn it into the ultimate boho space without breaking your budget, you’re in the right place. We took to Pinterest to find 16 of the most affordable boho bedroom ideas to totally transform your space. 1. Artwork Artwork is essential for any boho room, but especially a bedroom. Your artwork should be the first thing you pick out before anything else because it will determine the rest of your color scheme. For example, if you choose artwork that includes a lot of burnt orange Hughes, you will want to go with other colors around the room that pair with that color. We love this set of paintings from Amazon because you can put them in different places around the room or create a wall gallery. Just remember these don’t include a frame, so you will want to buy those, too. We recommend these oak wood frames because they go perfectly with the boho vibe. 2. A Hanging Chair Hanging chairs give off the ultimate boho vibe and are super chic. Not to mention, they create a perfect, relaxing place for you to snuggle up with a cozy blanket and read a good book. The best part is that they range in price, so you can get one under $100 like this one! 3. Textures Textures are super important when it comes to boho decor! Textured items provide balance to a room and strengthen the visual aesthetic. They tend to “pop out” amongst other flat things. People often get confused about what texture is, but a good way to think about it is anything that you could touch that would feel different from something, well, flat. Think faux fur, chunky knit blankets, pillows, suede, leather, etc. It doesn’t take much to add texture. We think these textured ceramic vases would look stunning in a boho bedroom. 4. Plants If you’re looking for boho bedroom ideas that are super budget-friendly, plants are a great option! Plants are a staple in any boho-style space because they add so much character.. Plants are also known to boost your mood and creativity as well as purify the air, so they are perfect to put in your bedroom. If you don’t have the resources to buy a bunch of plants’ try to find a couple that you can propagate like a pathos. Doing it this way will allow you to get many plants from one. Here is a quick video showing you how to propagate your plants. 5. Rugs Rugs are definitely essential if you are trying to create a boho bedroom! You want to find rugs with different textures and global patterns or mix and match a few different ones like in this pin. They used a few different rugs to create a unique bohemian vibe. It is also a bit cheaper to use a few different rugs than one large one. A rug like this paired with a rug like this would be perfect to bring that bohemian vibe to your space, and you can get them both under $100! We also love this faux fur rug from Wayfair if you want to add some texture and your budget allows for it. 6. String Lights Having different types of lighting is a super easy way to create a boho vibe in your bedroom. String lights are a super easy and affordable way to do this. You can hang some on your wall beside your bed or above a chair or piece of furniture. You can also find string lights that you can hang behind your curtains that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. 7. Pom Pom Pillows If you’re looking for boho bedroom ideas that aren’t expensive and you can achieve them quickly, throw some pillows on your bed. Pom pom pillows scream boho and are a staple in almost every boho room. Not to mention, they are super cozy. We love this pom pom pillow from Amazon! 8. White Bedding White or cream bedding is a great way to create a boho space. You don’t have to invest in anything fancy; a simple duvet will work well. We recommend sizing up to create a super cozy feel. Here’s a great one under $25! You can also find some comfy white sheets here! 9. Patterns Another way to bring a boho vibe to your bedroom is to implement patterns! You can find a patterned wall hanging, pillows, or a patterned throw for your bed. We think adding bold patterns against white or cream bedding looks super chic. You can also implement patterns with decorative wallpaper or peel-and-stick tile to create an accent wall or focal point! The sky is the limit! 10. Mirrors Mirrors are an absolute must in a boho-inspired bedroom. They help to balance out the space, and combined with the soft lighting from the string lights and pendant lighting, they really help to pull everything together. What is important here is that the mirrors have character. We aren’t talking about small door mirrors, but big round or rectangle mirrors work great. If you are looking for a mirror on a budget, we love this gold-framed rounded mirror for the wall or to lean against the wall on your desk. If you want a large floor mirror, we think this one is perfect for a boho bedroom! 11. Pendant lights Your lighting may not seem like it’s that big of a deal, but trust us, it is! Trading out your ceiling lights, such as boob lights, for pendant-style lighting is key to having the ultimate boho bedroom. We love this pendant light from Amazon! It is totally chic and comes in just over $40 after taxes. If you are feeling creative, you can also check out this tutorial on how to DIY pendant lighting. 12. Floating Shelves Floating shelves are a great way to create space for all your beautiful plants and boho decor. It is one of the most functional boho bedroom ideas and will make your room look bigger if done correctly. Just make sure you don’t overcrowd your shelves with junk and random odds and ends. You want the space to be open and inviting. If you are more of a maximalist and enjoy more filled spaces, add in more plants. Here are some gorgeous floating shelves at a great price! 13. Neutral Paint Your wall color can play a huge part in whether your bedroom has a boho vibe. The wrong color can greatly impact everything else. We recommend using a neutral color like beige, white, or cream. However, you can also go with a deeper color, like a cognac or deep turquoise. Just stay away from bright colors like bright reds or yellows, as these will take away from the overall boho feel. If you don’t have the resources to paint the whole room, you can try painting one wall in a neutral color that pairs well with the color of your walls to balance it out. It will serve as an accent wall until you can paint the whole space. 14. Macrame Macrame is one of the most budget-friendly boho bedroom ideas and is a great way to transform your bedroom into a boho dream instantly! Macrame sets an earthy tone to any room, which is why you hardly ever see a boho room without it. You can get so many things in macrame, from wall hangings to plant holders, even ottomans! We love these macrame wall hangings from Amazon that are only $20! 15. Bamboo Shades Boho is all about earthy feels and organic materials, so bamboo shades like these are a great, inexpensive idea to add to your boho bedroom. They are easy to hang, and we think they look so much more chic than traditional white shades, especially the plastic ones…eek! You can also opt for wooden shades in an oak color. However, wooden blinds tend to be a little on the pricier side, especially if you have more than one window. 16. Anything Jute If your budget is seriously low and you can only get a few items to start creating your boho bedroom, we recommend finding some inexpensive jute items. Jute is often used a lot in boho rooms and will immediately bring a bit of a boho vibe to your space, regardless of your other decor. An inexpensive laundry basket like this would be a great start to your boho bedroom. We also love these hanging baskets, which would be great to hold books or magazines. Final Thoughts There are plenty of super chic boho bedroom ideas you can try even when you are on a budget! If you don’t have much money to spend upfront, try incorporating one or two of these items at a time until you get it where you want it. You will have the boho bedroom of your dreams in no time!

What can you do? Use baking soda. Baking soda will absorb the odors.

7 Black Quartz Countertops to Make Your Kitchen Look Amazing
Want to transform your kitchen in a bold, modern way? Get black quartz countertops! Black countertops are the latest trend in kitchen design. They’re sleek, and they can add gorgeous contrast against white cabinets and light flooring. Plus, quartz offers many benefits as a countertop material. If you’re looking to update your kitchen, we have 7 amazing examples of black quartz counters to inspire you. 1. Matte Black Quartz The matte finish of these black quartz countertops helps soften the space. Shiny black counters can be gorgeous, but they can also be a little intimidating or, at times, cold. A matte finish will help make your kitchen a little more inviting and help create that rustic modern farmhouse look that everyone adores. The light gray veins in this particular countertop add a marbled effect and character to the space. We love that the matte finish also creates a soapstone-like effect. A countertop like this pairs well with light gray or cream cabinets, black appliances and black windows. We also love the built-in, undermount sink on the island, which allows you to prepare food while conversing with guests. Related: 17+ Free Printables For Kitchen You Shouldn’t Miss 2. Large Vein Pattern One big advantage of quartz is that you have so many options when it comes to the look and style. We love veined quartz because it mimics the look of natural stone. Some black quartz countertops counters have small veins that are also beautiful, but there’s something special about ones with prominent veins. They make a statement, and they catch your eye. The large white veining on these black countertops complements the off-white cabinets and helps tie the whole look together. The matte finish softens the space and is perfect for kitchens with bright overhead lighting. 3. Marquina Midnight Quartz These Marquina Midnight quartz countertops are bold and elegant. We love the large white veining and the 3D effect it creates. This particular countertop has a polished finish, which can help make a smaller kitchen look bigger. It comes in 2cm and 3cm sizes, so you can choose whichever one works best for your kitchen. These countertops look beautiful paired with beige or white cabinets, and they work well in both modern and more traditional style kitchens. Related: 18 Best Storage for Spices to Steal for Your Kitchen 4. Cambria Charlestown Nebraska Furniture Mart offers 3cm black quartz countertops from Cambria. Lovingly called Charlestown, these countertops feature white and gray veining that meanders along the surface. The great thing about these countertops is that they are backed by a full lifetime warranty and are sustainably produced. They’re also made in the U.S. The polished finish adds to the richness and elegance of these countertops, and they pair well with just about any color cabinet, even dark wood. The veining and style of these countertops make them best-suited for modern kitchens, but with the right colors and cabinet styles, they can look gorgeous in a farmhouse-style kitchen. These counters work really well for islands, and they look stunning with undermount sinks – especially black steel farmhouse sinks. The all-black look creates a seamless, modern kitchen. You could even use this same material for the backsplashes in your kitchen. 5. Vesuvius Solid Black Quartz If you prefer the look of solid black quartz countertops, Wilsonart’s Vesuvius is an excellent option. This fine scale countertop has just the slightest hint of white or glass spec, which creates a virtually solid black look. This is a black countertop that can work in just about any kitchen, whether you have light or dark cabinets. In the kitchen above, the black windows and dark cabinets complement the dark countertops, while the light backsplash adds terrific contrast. The color combinations create a warm and cozy space. If you’re going to go with dark cabinets and windows, consider choosing a copper or stainless steel sink rather than black steel. Copper or stainless will add wonderful contrast against the dark countertops and cabinets. Plus, Wilsonart’s countertops are backed by a 10-year warranty. Their quartz countertops are non-porous, so they’re highly resistant to stains, chemicals, heat and moisture. It’s the perfect material for a home kitchen. 6. Black Counters with Gold Veining If you’re going for an elegant, modern look, these black counters with gold veining are perfect. Gold is such a wonderful contrast against the rich black and charcoal colors of these counters. If you have warm tones in your kitchen, counters like these will really complement your space and help tie the whole look together. But even if you don’t, the warmth from the gold veining will help soften the kitchen and make it more inviting. And if you’re open to more options, you can also find gorgeous black and gold quartzite countertops with more dramatic patterns, like the one below: These patterns may be too dramatic for some people’s tastes, but for an island, it could add character without being too overwhelming. Of course, you can find variations of black and gold quartz countertops. Some have subtler shades of beige or brown. But this color combo really helps create a natural, earthy look in the kitchen.

Simple Black Quartz These black quartz countertops look stunning in this modern kitchen and pair well with the black and stainless steel appliances. Pendant lights and a matching black sink really tie the whole thing together. The black and brown seating is a nice touch. The white veining matches the cabinets, and we also love how they extended the countertop on each end to wrap around all the way to the floor. It creates a seamless look that takes the kitchen up a notch. For a small and modern kitchen like this, it’s the small details that make the space both functional and beautiful. The wrapped countertops also make maintenance a breeze. There’s no need to worry about knicks, spills and other issues that can come with wooden islands. While these homeowners chose white veined quartz, you could easily choose a light gray or brown veining for your own kitchen countertops.
