February was Home Hack month over at Apartment Therapy and Gregory Han, the managing editor of the LA site, created this amazing Home Hack that transformed the vinyl white floor of his bathroom to a vibrant and colorful tile. This was achieved through the art of stenciling which Gregory says requires "a lot of prep time and patience".
Dunn-Edwards was showing at the 2010 Builders' Show in a big way as their new line of low-odor, zero-VOC paint called Enso was debuting and was used to paint the interior of the 2010 NextGen Home on display at the Builders' Show. Thinking back to when we toured the NextGen home there was no discernible paint smell which would be uncommon for a home that had just been painted within 36 hours.
We spoke to Lucy Baker of Dunn-Edwards who claims that Enso is the first zero-VOC premium quality paint to hit the market. She said that this paint makes no concessions in quality and compares favorably to every other premium paint line out there.
The green and low-odor benefits work favorably in homes, hotels, schools, and hospitals.
According to the NextGen home website:
Enso uses a new resin technology that allows for a harder surface than that of many low odor products, and it achieves this hardness without using organic solvents. It is easy to apply and has excellent flow and leveling for a smooth finish. It also offers great hide, so fewer coats are needed, and provides excellent washability.
The magnet boards used in kitchens to store knives are also great at storing...paintbrushes! Store the brushes pointed down so the bristles can dry thoroughly and enjoy your easy access paintbrush rack.
