Scent Your Paint

Painting your home can give it a fresh, updated look, but the smell of paint can linger long after the project is done. If you want to minimize this unpleasant odor, a great hack is to add a few drops of vanilla extract to your paint can. Adding a tablespoon of vanilla extract per gallon of paint can reduce the strong smell of varnish and leave your room with a pleasant, subtle vanilla scent.
