    For ours we used little potpourri bags, actually they were little cushion like things we got from bigw I think, they helped alot.

    To remove paint and varnish smel, cut an onion in half and put it in thr room. It's amazing!!

    ooh i never thought of the potourri bags, might get some tomorrow, i have paper just wrapping paper in the drawer, i did think of sprinkling baby powder, to make it like a drawer liner.

    with the onion, do u just put it in the room? or do u have to put it in the drawers as well? id hate to make her room smell like a salad lol

    a cut lemon can help absorb smells too (and smells better than onion)
