The thing is, I’ve let it get like this:.

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..
