I bought a condo when I was dating Ben. When we married, I moved in it with him. My home was now his; my bedroom was now his.
My bedroom that was now his was occupied with all of Ben’s furniture. Though he had been with other people before me, I don’t think the furniture was … but the furniture still made me think about his past because the furniture was not ours.
After almost five years of marriage, we purchased a home together … our home. In it is our bedroom, and in that is our furniture.
In this new segment of our life, everything will now be ours … well at least everything in the bedroom.

–Dr. Muhammad Ali Muhammadi, a physician, quoted in the Daily Times about his love for the 40-year-old Sunday book market in Karachi, which “has no name” and consists of 50 “temporary roadside stalls, set up by spreading books out on sheets of cloth.”

You did a good job cleaning your room.
Good describes the job.
You did the cleaning job well.
Well answers how.

Describes your odor, not how you smell with your nose, so follow with the adjective.
You smell well for someone who is sick.
You are actively smelling with a nose here so follow with the adverb.

You do not look well.
