…and that was exactly the post that I was about to publish and share with you, finishing right there, until yet another twisty turn happened in the ongoing saga of this book writing adventure!.

If you have perfect brushes, then chances are that you’re going to want to keep them perfect.Which means that anytime you get the whim to paint a room or a piece of furniture, you’ll want to have the perfect day and the perfect situation and the perfect set up so that you can do your expensive paint justice and keep you perfect brushes in their most perfectest shape.

And then you’ll just never get around to tackling the job because that whole scenario will just never happen.Having materials on hand that you’re not afraid to ruin and throw away if need be, or paint that you’re not afraid to cover up at a later date if you change your mind, gives you such a sense of freedom and really, you’ll just end up painting more often and creating more rooms that you love!At best, I use a medium-priced angled brush for certain cutting-in jobs, and even then, it’s mostly just because it makes me feel fancy.

I have to admit that any of those higher priced brushes don’t make me love my paint anymore than the dollar store brushes do.. It’s 2015.Honestly, paint technology is pretty great across the board.

Event the cheapest paint that you can buy now is pretty amazing compared to the paint we were using 15 years ago.

For all of my basic wall painting or fix-ups around the house, I always just buy a fairly basic low-cost paint and I’m still always thrilled with the results and the finish..I’m teaming up with.

to help you get over your fear of picking up that paintbrush, your “paint paralyis” if you will.I’ll be writing a number of posts all about easy-peasy painting ideas, tips, techniques, and just generally being your DIY cheerleader as usual, but this time I’m also TAKING MY SHOW ON THE ROAD!.

I’m going to have so much fun with this that I don’t even know what to do with myself!.I’ll be at the ready, along with technical paint experts from CIL to help you pick a paint and paint color that you will absolutely love, whether you’re a bold “all the colour all of the time” kinda person, or more of a “neutral goes with everything” type.. I’ll be at the following Home Depots in South Western Ontario over the course of 8 weeks this Fall and I can’t WAIT to meet you there to talk all about paint, decor, and getting you to love your DIY projects:.
