Last week”s teaser about the styrafoam in your fridge absorbing the scent of your oil-based paints and depositing it into your foods.  True!  Let me give you the context…

 

Everyone hates to rinse out brushes, right?  It just takes forever – the paint never comes out of the brush!  Its worse with oil-based paint because you have to use mineral spirits or paint thinner and that stuff stinks and its brutal on your skin, not to mention that its an environmental hazard to dispose of it improperly!  This by the way includes NOT pouring it down the drain.

 

How would you like to clean these brushes?

 

So when you need to quit for the night or you are waiting on that coat of paint to dry, what do you do with the brushes?  For oil-based

…

Why are there so many different kinds of paint?

 

Paint is an affordable way to completely transform a room. The hardest part is not always selecting the color. Do you know how many shades of beige exist? Me neither.

We’ve all read tips on how to buy the mattress that is right for each of us – there’s even a mattress out now with an incline adjustment in case the person next to you is snoring! (Where has THAT been all my life, right?)

I think I like the blue checked material more than anything.  But of course at this price, you get to choose from a selection of fabrics

We all know, this is how it starts.  The sink drips.  A cabinet door is loose.  The plastic door handle breaks off the microwave.  Thousands over budget and six months later you have a brand new kitchen.
