Painting Hacks From Professionals For Every DIY Project

Vanilla and Lemon Infused Paint

If you enjoy the smell and taste of vanilla, you will be pleased to know that it is possible to give your paint a dose of vanilla. The paint smell can be irritating for some, and most cannot stand the nasty smell it gives off for weeks. This is where vanilla and lemon extracts come in handy.

You can purchase vanilla-scented products designed to use with paint to overpower its odor. Alternatively, you can use a tablespoon of vanilla extract from your kitchen to give your walls and rooms a lovely scent. Another hack is to use lemon extract rather than vanilla when using light-colored paints. Otherwise, the tint of vanilla can destroy the color of light paints, ruining your entire project.
