Look into milk paint -- we've gotten milk paint from the Old Fashioned Milk Paint Co. NO VOCs at all and it's organic! Perfectly safe to paint your kids' toys/furniture with, and they've developed a special formula to paint walls with. It comes in powder form and you have to add water, but the instructions are straightforward and the people at the company are very, very helpful with questions. It traditionally comes in farm/country type colors, but you can mix white in to make pastels -- we did our crib in three pastel colors and it looked gorgeous. You can order it online if there is no dealer near you. If you're interested: http://www.milkpaint.com/
