Long live the revolution, organically speaking.


Now my Eco Blogworms,

You're just about to go organic aswell, but before we start, I would like to make an effort to say hello to our international friends and to say thank you for following my ramblings every week. So to our American friends and other English speakers ... Howdy ! / Hello !  ( sorry about Howdy but I couldn't think of what else to use ! )

And to others from around our fabulous planet,... Hello from the list below, it's fantastic to have followers from abroad.

German: Guten Morgen!         French: Bonjour!       Russian: доброе утро     
Indonesian: Selamat pagi!      Brazil: Bom dia!        Malay: Pagi yang baik!  
Swedish: God morgon!          Greek: kαλημέρα!


OK, I admit, I cheated and used Google translator, so if any of these are wrong, I'm blaming Google. But you've made the effort so I thought the least I could do was to return the compliment. 

Anyway, to business. The world of Eco is a very frustrating place and sometimes results you believe in are not easy to find. I've learned it takes patience, a certain amount of luck & a lot of sheer determination.

We've been chasing, for 4 or 5 years now, a way of making Eco friendly painted kitchens that ticks all the boxes we need and .... finally .... this last week, we've nailed it ! and we're really excited about it !!

Using a combination of probably the most environmentally friendly ( zero formaldehyde ) Mdf board we can find. One that is "designed for environmentally sensitve areas such as Museums, Art Galleries, Hospitals, Schools and Nursing Homes" and as such will be perfect for your home environment ( see my earlier blog about Sick Building Syndrome )

Coupled with: 

Water based Organic paints that are "the worlds first complete range of decorative paints, all odourless and completely free of solvents and toxic chemicals, being derived from Organic sources. Paints proven to be of benefit to sufferers of asthma, M.E., chronic fatigue & post viral fatigue syndrome."

Suddenly life is sweet & we can create a whole new range of kitchens, any shape, any style, any size and in 120 different colours and seen to have positive health benefits, the world is at our feet !

A new range is born .. Eco Organic .. and you heard it here first.

The benefits to everyone that a kitchen made this way can bring are potentially massive.

I believe that making kitchens this way will be the most significant step forward in environmentally friendly kitchen design since we started doing this back in 2005.


We've been running trials on sample doors this week and so far the results are brilliant, our sprayer says that these are some of the best water based paints he's ever tried and the way the  paint sets in between coats, he reckons they will give a great durability long term.

By adjusting the viscosity of the paint with water to just the right level for spraying we have achieved a double success. One, is that we get a perfect finish with good coverage and Two, is that we can supply a tin of exactly the same paint with every job so that you can touch up panels to cope with lifes little knocks and bruises.

So, come on !! be fair, it's not every day you can get, not only a brilliantly versatile Eco kitchen .... but one that's good for your health aswell !!

Let's get the world talking about Eco Organic and start a revolution in eco furniture design, it doesn't have to be just kitchens, we'll make anything !!

I'll be blogging about this again next week when the samples are finished and hopefully have some pics to show you, so look forward to the second gripping instalment !

Jules
