I want to paint my baby's room. What are the colors and paints are safe? I'm moving in two months and in July, I want to paint my daughter's room. I have a great Disney theme in mind, but want to make sure everything is safe and nontoxic.
What would be the best place to buy these paintings
thx
PS: It will be eight months in July
When you go to buy paint at Home Depot, Lowe's store or any other home improvements, or even Wal-Mart, do not forget to ask low-VOC or no VOC paints. These paints contain little or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which is what creates the smell of paint and create new toxic greenhouse gas emissions.
Low VOC paints will have minimal odor and no VOC paints have no odor at all. In fact, you could have your daughter in the room with you while you paint with no VOC paint, because it is so non-toxic.
2 brands of zero-VOC paints, I know for sure are the choice Freshair, which is sold at The Home Depot, Yolo and Yolo Colorhouse bit (for children's rooms). I do not know where you can find paintings YOLO. Hope this helps.
I have a website to http://www.greenyourdecor.com where I list ecological home decor products, including paint. Check it out.
