More Green Painting

A quick paint update...I decided to repaint my kitchen and breakfast area the weekend before Thanksgiving and baking almost 100 pies in my kitchen!  This time I used the Benjamin Moore Natura paints, which are also No-VOC paints.  Like The Freshaire Choice paints from Home Depot, they have virtually no smell or Volitile Organic Compounds.  The Natura paints don't come in a biodegradable bucket, although they are made from recycled and post-consumer materials.

The huge advantage of the Natura paint line is being able to mix any color you want.  Any color Benjamin Moore carries in their regular line of paints can be mixed, as well as custom colors.  The paint dries fairly quickly and often only requires one coat for coverage.  I originally had red walls in my kitchen and repainted it a calming gray-beige color and it only required two coats of paint to completely cover the red.  So, I would say this is another great option for "green" painting.
