Hey Houzzers, how has your holiday weekend been? Hopefully you had some time to yourself and ready to tackle today's Shades of Sunday discussion!

Today's Topic: Nontoxic Paint! Have you used a specific brand of nontoxic paint? What would you recommend and how was your experience with the smell, color, and overall application/process? I personally have never gone through my own paint project, but would love to hear your suggestions for the future! :)

See the Ideabook (2nd photo) about Nontoxic paint and tweet us your suggestions, comments, and experiences! Or share them down below.

    I paint vintage furniture in a small home-based business located in rural SW Michigan. I use nothing but non-toxic, eco-friendly paint; either chalk paint or milk paint. I do this for my own health as well as for my customers health. This paint is a bit on the expensive side, but worth it, I believe. I think non-toxic paint is a bit like organic foods. My belief is either you pay now or you pay later. Chalk paint goes on wonderfully and is so appropriate for the vintage piece I transform. The colors are also outstanding too and I often custom mix paint colors mixing or diluting chalk paint for a one-of-a-kind look. These piece are "finished" using wax to create a unique hand waxed finish. Please visit my blog for more details and my FB for LOTS of pictures. http://smallhouseunderabigsky.wordpress.com or donna.allgaierlamberti@facebook.com

      We love Earthpaint clay-based paint. Low VOCs, low odor, self-priming, and very affordable. They also offer a wide range of wood stains and sealers.

      I have used the Benjamin Moore products - Natura (no VOC) and Aura (low VOC)and they both covered well. Recently I started using Mythic Paint which claims to be much healthier than the Benjamin Moore products. I also use the Color911 app for my color inspiration, don't think I'll ever paint again without it!

      I have used Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint, no need to prime or prep beforehand, beautiful colours which you can also mix yourself. I've painted furniture with it which must be waxed afterwards & results have been great. Will be using it on bedroom walls next week because we'll need to move in straightaway and this wouldn't be possible with regular paint and its nasty odours.

      I love Ben Moore's Natura! You can sleep in the room the same day you paint. I have also been meaning to try Mythic.

      When we moved into our house we used AFM Safecoat paints. They've been around for years and are also used in hospitals. Once you use it, it prevents outgassing from any previous paint used before which is a HUGE plus! It's a tad expensive but there was no smell and we'll definitely use it again. It's very good for people with allergies, chemical sensitivities as well.

      Weve used Resenes VOC Free paint. Great coverage. No smell. Easy to apply. Just a word of caution. Its really hard to get childrens dirty marks off.

      I highly recommend you try ROMA. They are based in Atlanta, GA but they ship everywhere. I chose them because I had seen a lot of their products used by reputable designers and architects in several magazines. I loved the look of their plasters, paints and stains. What really got my attention was visiting their studio where they actually mix all of their products. There was no smell anywhere but I didn't realize what I was missing until I went into a Porter Paints store afterwards. The fumes in the Porter Paints store were overwhelming. ROMA has a houzz profile, I think ROMA Eco Sustainable Building Technologies is how they are listed. Check it out!!

      I'm glad to hear about the other non toxic options out there and esp. glad that so many other are aware of the issue and are choosing them. Everyone will benefit! Thanks everyone for contributing!
