We’re in the process of removing all that pink rock from all the garden, so it’s pretty much everywhere right now.

Tip #3: The technique.I went over the grooves and the sides first with a good angled brush before rolling.

Sounds like a quick little step right?This probably took the longest of anything, but was totally necessary.I had a couple of good non-disposable angled brushes on hand that I switched out and cleaned up if they started to seem like the paint was drying on them too much.

I’ll share my super-easy paint brush cleaning technique with you next week.Oh, you just wait!.

I saved a good 5 minutes per coat with a little technique I called the “beadboard rule of thirds”.

At least that’s what I called it to myself in my head while I was doing it.It’s bad.. There’s a little skinny hard-to-get-to cupboard in the house that I was using, but it wasn’t working out so well, and my “house tools” kept mysteriously ending up back in the garage..

I found this old shoe rack in the basement, and you might have one just like it lurking around somewhere.I put it by the door to the mudroom and now everything I need is right there waiting for me on my way outside.

The little angled shelves are perfect for grabbing whatever I need quickly and easily.. Terra cotta pots make it even easier to fill er’ up with all my gardening and quick home repair necessities..So what do we have here?
