Are you moving into a new apartment this fall and contemplating a new shade for your bedroom wall? Are you looking for a fun summer color to rev up your dining room? Why not try the new Freshair Choice paints, a new green line of paint that contains no VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the paint or in the colorant.

According to their website,

because that "just painted" smell always makes me feel a little off!

Freshair Choice, sold exclusively at Home Depot stores, comes in 66 shades of eco-friendly paint and is certified by the Greenhouse Enivironmental Institute.

That's not all. The paint cans, chips and brochures themselves are made from 100% recycled material and can recycled again. Not to mention that label is even printed with soy ink! How cool is that?

So if you are looking for a new eco-friendly paint for your home or apartment, try this new line. It might just save you a paint smelling headache!

This is the paint we've been using to paint every room in our house. The color selection is muted and coastal.
