Infusing Paint
- Going GREEN
Recently a friend of mine introduced me to a
great idea that is both GREEN and Positive!
I mentioned to her about finding recycled paint (Metro
Paint) that is a fraction of the price of regular paint and is great for one
coat coverage, downside...it has a really strong odor.
Michelle let me
know about a friend of hers who uses
essential oils
in the paint to infuse "scents" in a room. To simply remove the odor use Peppermint Oil
(and stir very well) and it will eliminate the strong paint smell!
So I thought I would share this with anyone
on the blog who is interested!
There are several varieties of
Essential Oils,
one for every room and mood, here are some suggestions for infusing paint
in specific locations:
Home Office - Infuse with
Abundance,
Inspiration
Family Room - Infuse with
Joy
Kids Bedroom - Infuse with
Peace & Calming,
Dream Catcher
Bathroom - Infuse with
Lavender
Contact
Michelle to ask
about the ratio of Essential Oils vs. Paint.
Homeowners, if you are getting ready to
SELL, now is NOT the time to experiment with the essential oils or any painting
techniques (although if the paint has a strong smell, you might want to try the
peppermint to eliminate the scent!)
Our tip: NEUTRAL warm paint is always
best, no matter what the current trends are; better SAFE than sorry.

That's a very interesting concept. I like the idea of recycled paint (who knew?)
If you're going to add essential oils to your paint, do we know how long the smell lasts?
