5 Tips for Choosing the
Best Nursery Paint

Are you selecting paint to create the perfect nursery atmosphere? The nursery paint you choose not only sets the mood. It can also determine the air quality in your baby's room and home for months to come. Here are some painting pointers as you plan your baby room makeover.

1. Paint your baby's room as far in advance of the birth as possible. Choose low or no-VOC paint. However, read the labels carefully (or contact the manufacturer), because some companies add other chemicals to minimize paint odor.
   
   
2. Look for The Green Seal to ensure that paint is environmentally-friendly.
   
   
3. Purer paint alternatives are made from earth pigments, tree and plant oils, beeswax, citrus-peel thinners or a milk derivative called casein.
   
   
4. Food-based aromatherapy paint, with fragrances like fresh lemon or vanilla are on the market. A brand named Anna Sova, boasts of paints made with 99% food ingredients that smells like vanilla milkshakes.
   
   You can add the fragrance separately last for 6 months to one year, but keep in mind that your baby could be allergic to essential oils and fragrances. So you may want to try fragrance when your baby is older than 6 months.
   
   
5. Our Green House makes an assortment of old fashioned milk-based paints. It comes in 16 colors and you add water to make a pint. It works on nursery walls, furniture and toys.
