Painting the Nursery

Choosing a paint color for your baby's nursery is a matter of taste, but choosing the kind of paint to use is a matter of health.

So, before you break out the brush, consider using a paint that's safe for both your baby and the earth.

These picks are a breath of fresh air.

 

Green Planet Paints

 

Made with soy-based resins and zero VOC ingredients. The paint colors are created by hand with mineral pigments, creating a soft, organic clay finish.
