If it's still there, the next step is to remove the flooring, paint the floor and walls with an oil-based primer to seal in the odor, then put in new paint and flooring.If you miss even a little bit, the odor may stay forever.

Too many cooks in the kitchen. 

In the front: kill the weeds on the driveway/curb, repaint the garage door, buy a product to remove the oil stains in the driveway, make a small mulch bed around the tree and plant flowers around the tree, plant some flowers, a bush or some sort of plant where the snow shovels are, to the right of the front door plant some bushes and flowers (using edging stone to separate the mulch and grass could look good), and repaint the front door and the trim to something more modern (yet won't clash) that will help the place pop despite the older look of the brick. 

i once heard on a podcast about this, that the guy even included 'how to know if your lightbulb blew out and how to replace it.' it's not common sense to many kids who lived at home up until then. this will reduce headaches for you. how to know if a toilet is clogged and how to unclog it, what to do when smoke detectors go off from cooking...
