Benjamin Moore’s Aura VOC Free Paint Review
The positive? I spent a day in a small room painting and didn’t get high. The bad news. I spent the day in a room painting and didn’t get high. Seriously…no fumes. (VOCs are Volatile Organic Compounds…little nasties for just about everything.) This stuff is fantastic…easy to work with, beautiful color, and the eggshell is not noticeably shiny but washable. 
This is the color of the boys’ room. In real life it is a little bluer looking. When the whole shabang is done, I will post actual room photos.
The only downside….$60 a can. Yep. $60.
Wow. Expensive, but think of all those fumes the boys won’t be breathing in the coming years. That other stuff leaches out for a long time doesn’t it?
Wow. Seriously expensive paint. But worth it, especially since your little ones are in there. And you’d pay more for “standard” washable paint anyhow.
Good motivation to make certain no one colors on the walls!
Yes…I already warned my 4 year old who likes to lounge in bed reading with his feet on the wall that if he continues the practice he will end up with the nickname Nubs.
Love your blog! Thanks so much for this review, I shared on my site. For chemically sensitive people, “no fumes” is great news. I also like the “fantastic” and “easy to work with” parts.
I just painted my entire house with Aura paint and the results were outstanding. Coverage is excellent and durability is outstanding. Cleanup is a breeze and definitely no odor. Expensive paint to be sure but well worth it.
