Mike Kelley at the Maple Leaf Ace Hardware told me about a non toxic paint made in a plant owned by Ace Hardware. It’s called Mythic.
I was actually researching some paint solutions for an upcoming post when we had this conversation. Now would be an appropriate time to mention the low VOC qualities for interior painting. No Volatile Organic Compounds, harmful toxins, or carcinogens has been a dream for paint manufacturers for years.
Paint companies depend on contractor business and it is a fine line getting out a production paint product that is environmentally friendly. The cost of changing formulas is very high. The cost of running a single batch is extremely high, so having the Ace Hardware plant produce this product was an excellent compromise. Benjamin Moore makes a product that has a slightly higher price point, and has a claim of low VOCs rather than no VOCs.
As we get closer to the Summer painting season I will bore you with more information about paint products, but I want to mention that if you have an interior paint project this may be a solution for you. It’s a safe and premium paint product of great durability. The colors are bright and fresh. It’s safe for kids and pets with a clean fresh smell.
As always, if you have questions about a home project you can leave a comment here or e-mail me.
About David Losh
In 1984 I got my Real Estate license and worked in a small company called Advance Properties. The owner was extremely interested in Real Estate, building, and land development. Most of his work was concentrated North of Seattle. Since the 1970s I had worked for Real Estate agents in Seattle as a contractor, mostly preparing properties for rent, and sale.
After a few years my skill level increased considerably concerning land use, building code, and development practices. Escrow, and lending offices were housed at the Advance Properties building so it was easy to get involved in all aspects of Real Estate. It was very much a family owned, and operated business.
Over the years my Real Estate license has been at a variety of Real Estate companies, and offices. Nothing compares to those early years, or that sense of family. Real Estate has gotten to be corporate owned.
My hope with this blog is to share with you some of the things I've learned. If you have Real Estate needs, or want contractor help, I refer freely to what best suits you. If you should choose to work with me you'll find a great resource.
My Real Estate license is at Skyline Properties in Northgate. Skyline is a locally owned company that is a desk fee office. There is a wide variety of diverse agents. It helps me with some of the other projects that I have, and mentoring that I do, to be able to work with people from other cultures.
Here in Seattle we are close to Vancouver BC and are the gateway to China. Boeing has a great trade relationship with China, as does Microsoft have with all of Asia. We are a culturally diverse community, and it helps me to be invlolved.

While there may be 1000′s of paint colors to chose from – most paints are toxic with VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). This produces a breathable gas that can be detrimental to your health.
