Is there anything better than strolling down the coffee aisle of the supermarket? The pleasant fragrance of the many types of coffee filling your nostrils as you trudge along the aisle. This is my favorite area to walk through, even though I am not a coffee enthusiast. I just love the smell. Thankfully, my wife is an avid coffee drinker, so I do enjoy waking up to that wonderful aroma wafting throughout the house. Anything improving the home's atmosphere is a welcome addition to our modest abode. So, obviously we have our share of scented candles and Air Wick Freshmatic Ultra Units scattered in nearly every crevice within our home.

It should be noted this type of artwork could be a little costly, since coffee beans lean toward the expensive side. On the other hand, a good coffee bean has a decent lingering time. There are different ways to use coffee beans as a remedial air freshener. This idea struck me one morning as I slept. My wife had made herself a fresh pot of coffee, which must have etched its way into my subconscious mind. As soon as I awoke, I jotted down a couple of my ideas. Fortunately, my wife has more than enough coffee to last a life time.

A couple days later, I set to work on my first idea. I headed straight to our closet, knowing my wife has an overabundance of handbags and purses stashed away in there. Ladies, do not fret, I left her Coach items alone. Who really wants to sleep on the couch? I know I do not. Anyhow, I found a couple inexpensive satchels to start my project. I headed straight to the kitchen from there. I filled the satchels about halfway full of hazelnut coffee beans, then sealed the bags up. These bags work perfect in the bathrooms and by the kitty litter. You can substitute the coffee beans with whatever brand you want. I prefer hazelnut.
