Special thanks to Ecos Paints for their donation of white and a gorgeous colonial blue eco-friendly paint! I promised them photos and updates as soon as the Birdhouse is up in April 2014!
The company sends you these nifty color swatches you chose! I liked the CARR CURRENT 0598

Commitment to Environment
We use containers which are 100% post-consumer recycled, and 100% recyclable. Our shipping boxes are also recycled and recyclable. We use recycled materials wherever possible and recycle whatever we can. Energy usage is kept to a minimum and we even recycle our processing water. We strongly encourage our clients, friends and neighbors to do the same.
The use of paints worldwide emitted something in the order of 20 - 25 million tonnes of VOCs into the atmosphere last year* and despite measures and legislation to reduce this problem, will continue to do so for the forseeable future, year on year. By using VOC-free paints, you are helping to do your bit to save the planet, reduce air pollution, and reduce this needless waste of our valuable finite resources
