Here again we are Green Painters, and I doubt we will go back to regular paint. The Benjamin Moore Natura line goes on well, and no one has any headaches.

Here’s a brownstone painting job where we did something different, we painted the floors. I don’t run across this often, but apartment painting in Brooklyn has many styles. We used a high gloss white epoxy paint to paint this wood floor, and it worked out really well. Two coats are required, and it has quite an odor, as it is oil based. Plan on being away for the weekend after we paint your floor.

I also really liked the warm orange accent color the client used for this wall in the kitchen.
