colors -and the amazing creator of cool

The walls are getting pretty - Molly did an amazing job of picking out the colors for the house with the Creator of Cool - Heidi Ruehl. Molly and Heidi made quick and thoughtful work of the colors on the wall. One of the green lessons we have been constantly reminded of is trying to minimize our impact - this includes using what we have. Molly and Heidi took into account current furniture colors and made fantastic decisions. Ricky Brannon and his crew have been painting away.... We are using some really cool paint products from ICI paints. We are using Dulux paints and here are the types...

On the interior LifeMaster

Dulux® LifemasterLifemaster 2000 was launched in 1992 as the nation's first VOC-free paint. Initially developed in response to growing concerns about air pollution, the product was quickly embraced as a friendlier paint for indoor environments, especially where concerns about paint vapors and fumes exist. Stain resistance and scrubbability have increased 75%.


As the name suggests, Lifemaster represents longer paint life cycles. Some in the industry have claimed that NO-VOC paints give up durability, negating the VOC-reduction benefits because painting is needed more often. This is definitely not the case with the new Lifemaster. In fact, Dulux Lifemaster will now become ICI Paints' only interior product line made with 100% acrylic resins.



It is so cool to use green products and have wonderful colors. Look below at the first coat.
