Paint without the smell

By: Heidijane Mar 14, 2007

Next time you paint add a bit of vanilla to the paint and it will take the stink out of the project. Now all you need to know is who's going to massage your shoulders when you're done! Use the cheap stuff!

Save the good stuff for cooking, besides this stuff has vanilla bean specks in it that will ruin your paint!

How long does the vanilla scent last in the room?

I agree with tschoerda, I love the smell of fresh paint. Latex only--the other stuff makes me want to blow chunks, which I take as my internal toxic warning signal.

i actually like the smell of fresh paint. not to the point where it makes me dizzy (see previous comment), but a little sniff here and there ...

This seems unwise. Paint smells bad because it's full of all kinds of chemicals you're not supposed to breathe in. Perhaps you should wear a mask instead.
