Painting

We purchased our paint supplies for painting our son's bedroom, and for doing the wood restoration in our mud room, from Ecohome Improvement.  They are located in Oakland on San Pablo Avenue.  Ecohome sells only environmentally friendly paints, carpet, etc.

I recommend this place, with two caveats:

1 - They are closed on Sundays.  I'm sad to say that I forgot this fact on several occasions.  That is a problem for an amateur home-improvement guy like me, who really only gets to do work on the weekends.  If you're in the middle of a task and need more paint on Sunday, you are just out of luck.

2 - They are more expensive than other paint stores.  This is part of the "eco" thing.  That said, this is an important value for us, and so paying a bit extra seems worth it.  That's even more true with a little person running around the house.
