What Have We Been Up To?

    The kitchen looks great! I’m embarking on some home improvement projects and want to be as gren as possible within a moderate budget. In researching paint, I wondered if using low-VOC or non-VOC paint over existing old paint defeats the non VOC benefit… I can’t seem to find any answers online. Any help?
