I'm a BM-lover. We used to live in CA and when we sold the house a painter came in and started painting with DE. The fumes made me feel sick. He had to switch to BM and I was fine. I have no idea why except maybe he was using a lower grade of DE and we switched to the highest grade BM. However, I will say that DE has THE best color I've ever seen: Fool's Fossil. My neice has it in her house there and she just sent me a giant sample of it so I can have BM here in Texas make me some. I won't switch from BM unless I find there is another flat paint that looks better and doesn't have bad fumes.

I used DE for last summer's bathroom project and chose the new low-VOC paint. I may repaint it because I now think I should have gone a little bolder on color. Would no fumes be disappointing to you, BKO? LOL! DE gives AAA members a discount, too - I don't remember offhand what it was, but every little bit counts these days.
