Savvy Saturday~ Glade Paint Additives

In my endeavors to get the house cleaned up & cleaned out.  Getting the house ready to put on the market.  I have been taking one room at a time and stripping all the wallpaper, trying to breathe new life into the house.  When I went to Home Depot to pick out the new colors, I found that they have a new item that you can add to your paint.  A scent oil that can be mixed right into the paint!  Currently they only have a few new scents that you can pick from, but I decided it was worth a try.  For about five dollars you can add the scent.  The results... I only added one packet as I didn't know how it would work.  I can say that I was happy with the end results.  At first it was strong, but as the paint dried and the days have gone on it has subdued and it pleasant.  I wouldn't add more than one packet into the paint, as for me I think it would be over powering, but I do like how it turned out.  Just a thought if you are thinking about painting a room in the future... This was details that they had by the display about the product.
