Save a Brush - Painting Tip

Here's a picture of my fridge:

Haha! No.. that's not dinner. It's my painting tip!

If you have been reading my blog posts, you know that I sometimes procrastinate work long hours and don't get to starting and finishing home projects.

Hubs and I have taken on a big project, and I've learned a lot from blogland. I thought I'd share with you a painting tip that I use. (You've already guessed it from the picture.)

If I'm in the middle of a project and I know that the painting will stretch over a few days, I wrap the brushes and rollers with plastic wrap and store them in the fridge. I've never had any problems, and the brushes stay just great.

For our current project, I've had to do A LOT of caulking. I've used Diane's ice water trick which has been very helpful. Here's a trick I didn't know even existed:

When I got ready to caulk, Hubs brought this baby out. Didn't even know they made things like this for caulking. It reminded me of a Pampered Chef pan scraper!

Anywho... it's been a lifesaver with all the corners of the board and batten.

Just my two cents. Hope it's been helpful.

Love,
