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.
