Mythic Paint has a large selection of colors, more than I have seen with other low VOC paints like Benjamin Moore's Harmony or Lowe's Freshaire. In addition, they can match any color you like. In my case, I had a local Mythic Paint dealer match a Sherman Williams color - Aqua Sphere 7613. Pictures after the jump...

I've started painting our basement this weekend using paint from the Mythic, who promote their brand as a non-toxic, ultra low odor paint. I have to admit that they have kept their promise on that end, but how well does its application really perform? Read on as I give my thoughts on the performance of this paint in my two part review.

The wife and I have been preparing the nest for our soon to be born baby boy. Me being me, I always like to plan ahead for safety and convenience. So I thought it would also be a good idea to get our family car prepared as well. Read on as I share with you the steps I took to get our car ready for baby Jagger. More after the jump...

Mary sent me an email with a list of common child emergencies and how to handle them. I was shocked that some of the treatments were actually the wrong way to handle them. So I thought I would share this to keep child safey at the utmost importance. More after the jump...

The office construction has reached the point where it’s ready to be primed and painted. I was originally going to use the Harmony paint brand from Sherwin Williams, but Mary was concerned about the fumes that could be dangerous to both her, the baby, and Oreo. (Nobody cares if I breathe it in right?)

She suggested looking into Mythic Paint which is branded as a non-toxic, ultra low odor paint that does not have any off-gassing VOC’s and cancer-causing toxins that emit compared to other paints. A trip over to my nearest dealer and $500 later I’m ready to roll some paint. Stay tuned for results.
