KEEN ON GREEN

“There are always ways to use natural products,” says Rizal Coleman (pictured), owner of the “green” paint store Architectural Coatings and Design Center in Tarzana, Calif. In his shop, he offers nontoxic and chemical-free wall finishes in a wide array of brands and colors. Featured are such eco-friendly products as soy-based paint remover, milk paint, limewash, zero-VOC paint and low-odor paint.

Since not all products related to green living can fit into the 1,400-square-foot retail space, Coleman compiled information binders showing goods he can order from manufacturers on behalf of customers. The company also will refer clients to environmentally conscious interior designers and ship to addresses across the U.S. See what is in store by visiting 18424 Ventura Blvd. For information, call (818) 575-3900, or go online to acplusdc.com.
