What can I paint with leftover paint from a painting a room?

by Karen

Answered

I always end up with a third of a gallon of paint left over when I get done painting. Any suggestions on what I can use it for?

Karen: Maybe you have an old dresser to fresher up with new paint.

  I've never painted a dresser but I do happen to have one in the basement so maybe I'll give it a try. Thank you for your input. Have a good day!

Donate to a local branch of the Restore/Habitat for Humanity.
Or, if it is not convenient to drive the distance, list it for free under Craigslist.com, or Freecycle.org under Free Items.
I'm sure you will get takers before the day is over.

Save for touch up. Or find something else that needs painting. Or give it away.

  Thank you for your input! I probably will just give it away. I always save a small spice jar of touch up paint. Have a good day!

  So welcome Karen! Excellent, I always save some too. If you are on Nextdoor.com, that is how I get rid of random items for free. 🌞
