Make sure you have the pretty side of the fabric showing when you’re done.

I like to work on just one wall of a room, doing the trim and wall color during one afternoon or evening on the weekend, and then put everything back into place and not worry the room again until the next weekend.That way the room’s not all in disarray all week and I can even do things like cook dinner or play a game with Kennedy in between coats.

Before I know it, the room is done and I haven’t even skipped a beat.. #6: Clean Your Brushes the Lazy Way.I really hate cleaning brushes.I have a few brushes that I love to use on trim or for cutting in around corners, but I really don’t look forward to having to clean them after I’ve done all the work of painting already.

If you don’t know about my.super-easy, lazy method of brush cleaning.

yet, then you’re missing out.

Really, it’s changed the way I think about painting and made it so much easier for me to get a little painting done way more often..The signs are super lightweight so the push pins are really all it takes.

The signs are also really strong though, as I dropped mine several times on my tour around the house and it didn’t even chip.My heart stopped for a second there, but everything was just fine!.

You’ll notice I didn’t use the pins to hang my sign.Of course I was stubborn and insisted that my sign needed to go exactly here on this outside brick wall that I can’t really pin anything into.
