did you know?

so, after making my lemonade pie, i realized that i have some pretty insane information sitting in my freezer, just waiting to be shared with everyone....

L-R: paintbrushes, turkey, almond ice cream

what???!!!???

{paintbrushes}

i know, right!

so, here's the scoop (hahaa, scoop, get it...

ice cream.... lame. dont hate)

i bought this gallon of black oil based, high gloss paint

and needless to say, its been well used

i've painted our kitchen cabinets

before

and after

and the guest bathroom cabinets

after

and our master bathroom cabinets

(pretty much same before pic as other cabinets)

and the stair banister

after

and my desk

after

and my grandmother's antique chest of drawers

and a few other things here and there,

so,

what you should know

is that instead of washing out

brushes between each use,

you can pop them in the freezer!?!

hello, life made easier!

then, when you're ready to paint again, just take them out, give them a couple minutes to thaw out, and you're ready to go!!! its much less complicated than having to wash brushes out with paint thinner (for oil based paint) after every single use. obviously, if you want to change colors, you'd have to buy a new brush or wash one... but if you plan to paint lots of things one color

(like touching up woodwork, or molding)

... you're in business.

so, after you finish your next project,

wrap that brush up in foil, and pop it

right into the freezer!

happy sunday!
