Totally Organic Baby Cubbies....
For our lovely client Claire in the Windy City we created a custom-made three piece cubby system for her new nursery!!! Made entirely from Northern Michigan wood and painted with a zero-VOC semi gloss white paint. So it is not only baby friendly but super safe and environmentally friendly too! We just know that her little baby boy bundle will have a lifetime of fun storing his goodies in these and mommy and daddy will have a place to sit and read books before bedtime too:) You can follow her story and check it all out on her blog at http://www.thegreenstork.net/.
Paint Information:
Indoor air is three times more polluted than outdoor air, and according to the EPA, is considered one of the top 5 hazards to human health. Paints and finishes are among the leading causes. Paints and finishes release low level toxic emissions into the air for years after application. The source of these toxins is a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which, until recently, were essential to the performance of the paint.
New environmental regulations, and consumer demand, have led to the development of low-VOC and zero-VOC paints and finishes. Most paint manufacturers now produce one or more non-VOC variety of paint. These new paints are durable, cost-effective and less harmful to human and environmental health.
Non-VOC Paint Benefits:
Health. Reduced toxins benefit everyone, including those with allergies and chemical sensitivities. Environment. Reduces landfill, groundwater and ozone depleting contaminants. Effective. Water-Based. Easy cleanup with soap and warm water. Little or No Hazardous Fumes. Low odor during application; no odor once cured. No off-gassing. Painted areas can be occupied sooner, with no odor complaints.Not Deemed Hazardous Waste. Cleanup and disposal greatly simplified.
Dimensions: 114 L x 22 W x 22 H - broken up into 3 pieces.
