I decided to paint the nursery this week. Do you think that's last-minute or anything?? I found a green building store here in Houston that sells their own brand of no-VOC paint. Think Mythic paint, which is supposedly safe for women with babies inside, but $15 cheaper/gallon. I had limited, time-consuming success painting by myself one evening this week so Steve and his expert effeciency stepped in to help me today.
To sum up our experience...
the Goods: paint dried fast, low odor, half the paint crew had a fun time
the Bads: paint didn't provide the 1-coat coverage it claimed. lame!

What color did you paint it? I can't tell from the pictures. I want to see it all done. Before and after pictures would be good. I am glad that you were able to get Steve to help.
Ugh. Painting. I'm pretty sure no paint actually provides one coat coverage. Those paints lie! But it looks like a semi-good time and I'm sure your efforts are worth it! P.S. You should be receiving a package in the mail. It's from us. Happy Day!
We've been painting too! It feels so good when its done, but Ugh. I agree with Susan. Luckily our paint DID provide one coat coverage - but it only had to cover like a micro thin layer of the flattest, dullest paint that was ever created (also helped that it was just beige/tan). Again, I'm excited to one day check your blog and see little man's picture. Good luck!
