To Scent a Room with Lavender Essence

-Place a bowl of lavender by the window in the sun to draw out the scent.

-Drop a little oil on the light bulb of a table lamp- it will evaporate and fill the room with perfume.

-Keep a pot of lavender and water simmering on the stove.

-Throw bunches of lavender into a open fire.

-Place bowls of lavender-scented potpourri near doorways to help repel mosquitoes.

-Place lavender oil in a porous jug so the perfume seeps into the room.

-Place sprig of lavender with other flowers in vases.
