The great thing about this organizing solution is that it ends up looking really cute and farmhousey so you can leave it out on your desk and grab a bit of ribbon whenever you need it without making things look messy.
If you’re wondering why your coffee at home tastes so different from the coffee at your favorite coffee house, first clean your machine, but the next main thing you should do is change to using filtered water.There are other factors of course, but try those first..
So let’s clean this thing out!.Start with a mixture of about 2/3 water to 1/3... Pour it in the top where you usually put the water.. Let that sit for about five minutes and then turn your machine on and let it run through the brew cycle.
Once the water has come out the bottom into the carafe, turn the machine off and let everything cool down completely.. Here’s what came out of my machine!You can run through this cycle 1 or 2 more times and then brew a cycle with just water.
Don’t worry about any remaining vinegar after-smells.
They’ll dissipate quickly and will actually remove the stale coffee smells from the inner workings of your machine as well!.I have to admit that I did nothing for this project other than pick out the chandelier and make dinner while Chris ran the wiring for it and hung it up.
He even went out and bought the light bulbs!.The chandelier we chose is super simple and while you can buy expensive versions of this type of chandelier, ours is a cheapy from Lowe’s that had a lot of great reviews from other people with older homes.
And actually, that cheapy-ness helps because we weren’t sure quite how we were going to hang it at first, so it’s nice the the cheaper lights are made out of lighter weight metal!(Here’s a. similar chandelier.
