get the other half to do it and you go out shopping for the day or do somthing nice i would ,
put a peg on your nose
You cannot stop the smel however your should be painting in a WELL Ventalated area, keep your windows open use a fan or two to blow the air out of the room.
Use a fan that is blowing past your face. It will blow the fumes away from you and keep the area ventilated, which all paints say it should be anyhow. Works when I make my models ...
Don't use gloss, it's so 70's!
use a fan and blow it so the vapors go outside, and you can wear mask if thwe smell bothers you, i would use pastel paints no smell and for that jerk that answered first i don't think your questions stupid at all!
get the low odour paint, and leave the windows open till it's fully dry.
Get a big bowl of really hot water and sling loads of lemon/citrus juice in it (or citrussy disifectant) this'll act like a gentel perfumed steam and the water itself will absorb a lot of the fumes.
Start a small fire in the middle of the room and leave to burn for a couple of hours.


Hey presto! No more paint odour.
Place lemons on saucers in the room you are painting it takes away the smell, it does work!
My dad told me to peel and cut a white onion in half leave it in a bowl in the room you are decorating. I found it worked.





Failing that the new 3 room freshener things are really good.
Place cut onions in the room and open the windows.








That or buy some non fume gloss :-)
buy the odour free stuff
don't decorate yourself, get a painter in to do it and go on holiday while he's painting.


if this is not an option, use low odour paint from b+q
