Living Green: Introducing Milk Paints! November 25, 2010

Everyone knows that paint can be one of the most toxic, health-harming substances you use in your home. That smell of "fresh paint" may evoke design dreams, or a "new house" feeling, but harmful VOCs can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, loss of coordination, nausea, and even damage to the liver, kidney and central nervous system! A fresh coat of paint is the easiest and cheapest way to update a room - but how can you achieve your desired "look" without all of the hazards to your health?

Join us on November 25th when Jennylyn Pringle, President of Homestead House joins us for our next Living Green event! Homestead House is the only Milk Paint manufacturer in Canada, and produces 100% natural, VOC-free, biodegradable paint, right here in Toronto! Jennylyn will speak to us about the benefits of using natural products such as Milk Paint in your home, provide examples of her eco-friendly products (which include the Homestead House line of Milk Paints, Finishing Products, and Interior Zero VOC Latex), and help us assess which refinishing projects can be made "greener" through the use of natural products!
