When we think of preparing for a baby’s arrival we think of mom and dad painting the nursery, making it a place of relaxation and bonding. Until recently the paint used in nursery design although not oil or lead based, was not considered for its VOC properties. VOC is short for volatile organic compounds. These compounds are released into the air for many weeks after painting, and may present respiratory problems, as well as releasing carcinogens.
At Nest Help we strive to find the best products and services for our clients. We’re not trying to be amongst an elite group, but rather an educated community. The paint for a nursery is one of the most important choices parents can make. It needs to be selected for its safety, quality and durability.
Yesterday I met with Michelle Quaranta the owner of Colori, an eco-friendly paint store in the Wicker Park community. The newest line offered at Colori is Mythic. It is completely non-toxic, zero VOC’s, and zero carcinogens! It is safe for all people, pets, and our planet! Not to mention the quality is second to none!
The experts at Colori can color match anything! Michelle also offers in-home color consultations! Mention that you found out about Colori through the Nest Help blog and receive 10% off color consultation and paint. Colori is located at 2243 W.
