Fresh Paint

Anna Sova Paint

Paint the fence.

So said Mr. Miyagi. No wonder the Karate Kid looked annoyed. He was probably having flashbacks to his summer house-painting job — when he nearly passed out from toxic fumes.

If only he’d known about Anna Sova Luxury Organics, paint that’s made from up to 99 percent food-grade ingredients and none of the harmful compounds (solvents, mercury, formaldehyde, benzene) found in ordinary latex. Safe for children and pregnant women, they’re pretty, to boot: Colors range from soft pastels to deep browns.

Add a $9 bottle of Anna Sova Organic Aromatherapy and your room will smell like fresh lemons, vanilla, orange and cloves, or sandalwood and spices — rather than headache-inducing chemicals.

Hard to be on the fence about that.
