Paint stink, year later?

I posted this (I thought) yesterday, but I don't see it, so I suspect it didn't go through. Pardon any repeat posts.

Last year I renovated our office. It's a corner room off the kitchen. I took down 60 year old wallpaper, cleaned the walls, spackled with Drydex, and painted them first with Kilz latex and then Sherwin Williams' HGTV paint. I also painted a new pine desk using the Killz again and then Benjamin Moore Advance.

The room had a bit of a funk this winter, but we figured it was because it gets kitchen smells. Now that it's warm and humid, though, the place has a serious funk. It smells sort of like an oniony BO. When I get my nose up to the walls, they seem to be the source, but I suppose it's possible that they have absorbed the stink from some other source. Any ideas?

Thanks!
Jen
