I usually notice smells first....sometimes you can smell it before you even walk in. I usually don't look at their housekeeping unless it's really a horrible site, I'm looking more at the decorating style...always want new ideas.

I need a new sweeper, this one is three years old. I'm thinking of a Dyson.

My mum would laugh, but I've become a little bit of a neat freak, so cleanliness is a big deal for me. I remember the first time I went to my boyfriend's house (he's 19, and lives with his family cause it's better than paying rent, I'm only 20, there's only a 10 month age gap) I just about fell over. They're not very tidy people, it's not like they leave plates of food everywhere, the place smells fine, there just isn't much of a clear surface anywhere, and their dog likes to play with laundry so his sister's underwear is sometimes in the middle of the living room. My boyfriend's room was a total wreck, but he's started to clean it up, maybe I'm being a good influence on him I know I can't change him, I've accepted the fact that if I marry him I'm gonna be the one doing most, if not all, of the cleaning...

And it's always nice to walk into a house that just plain smells good, so if it smells bad that's a terrible first impression!!

Exactly what I meant ....the smells you get before ever getting inside... hopefully the good ones but sometimes the bad

The first thing that I notice is the furniture, and the style of the home, whether it is coordinated or shabby chic (nice way of saying hodge podge ). Also, does it feel homey? Then I notice the cleanliness. Smell used to be a big deal with me. When I was a small child, I noticed that each families home had a unique, very identifiable, smell. However, as I've gotten older, I'm losing my sense of smell, so this is not so great a factor now.

I would say the cleanliness (is that a word?) and the smell are right there together for me.

Speaking of which, I need to start cleaning this place. But the door tops, they can stay dusty!!!

Do we have any beer drinker/vacuumers out there? Just mixes it up a bit. what can I say, I'm living on the edge!
