My partner recently repainted our living room – she did a fabulous job – and she did it with products from YoLo, a company that makes environmentally-responsible interior paint products.

Yolo paints don’t contain VOC’s

Volatile Organic Compounds are the solvents in conventional latex paints that evaporate easily at room temperature — the stinky stuff. VOCs contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer as well as poor indoor air quality.

I was skeptical thinking that good paint has to be, well, you know, loaded with chemicals. I was wrong. The paint has a wonderful body to it, goes on as good as or better than any premium paint I’ve ever sued, and it looks awesome.

You can get their products in Vancouver (check the web site for details) or order online.
