Products
he Coatings Alliance - C2 Paints
Although it can be hard to find, C2 makes the best paints on the market. Their color palette is exceptionally well-designed, and I use it almost exclusively for color consulting. Read about the company here, and use their color tools here.
Tried & True Original Wood Finish
Tried & True is one of my favorite finishes for clear wood applications such as cabinets, doors, and trim. Combining 18th Century varnish-maker's techniques and natural ingredients, Tried & True is a durable, environmentally safe finish. Read about the Original finish here.
Vermont Natural Coatings
Who knew you could make a really great wood finish out of the stuff leftover when you make cheese? Well the scientists at Vermont Natural Coatings figured it out, and their Polywhey Natural Furniture Finish is the result. Find information about this and their other products here.
