Craft room and about 1/3 of my house is painted. They said the paint fumes wouldn't be bad, but we went out to dinner last night as I couldn't hardly stand the smell of fresh paint any more. My craft room looks wonderful the exact color I wanted. They be back Tuesday to do more painting. Should be done by the end of next week. The painters said Monday I could start loading the shelves in the craftroom closet. YAHOO! 2005 is the year for anti clutter in my house. My husband and children are going to go kicking and screaming, but I'm sick of it! If it doesn't fit in a drawer, a closet or have a place to go it's out of here. I'm feeling lighter already.
Yay Lynne!!

Yay for you Lynne! Please post some pics of that craft room! Sounds great :)
This may be too late to help you, but in case not, or in case it might help someone in the future, here are 2 suggestions for banishing paint fumes:
1) Put a few drops of vanilla in the paint before you put it on the wallsand/or
2) Cut up an onion & put it in a dish of water. Put the dish in the room where you're painting. It will absorb the smell (& you won't smell the onion, either).Enjoy your great new look!

Great tips, Alicia!!
Those are neat ideas. I'll have to remember that next time I paint.... Thanks for the tips!
Wow I'm going to do the onion thing today. I'm hoping it will absorb some of the smell around here. I suggested the vanilla thing to the painters and they looked at me like I was crazy (in a nice way), so I didn't force it.

Let me know how it works.
LOL! Tell them to try it when no one's looking. Then they can decide for themselves if it works without having anyone think they're nuts.
:::looking online::: Will they believe you if you tell them a respected hardware store chain suggests it?

Lots of other neat tips there, too!
