Paint Continued: Brushes, Tips & Tricks

Tuesday, August 26th, 2014 at 3:48am.

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…

PAINT

Tuesday, August 19th, 2014 at 9:08am.

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.

 

An important part of this decision process is choosing the correct paint for the job and the quality you expect. Ever heard the saying, “You get what you pay for” ? Well that certainly rings true with paint. A good quality paint that will last for years, hold up to cleaning and fade less is thicker than dime store paint. Purchasing paint from a reputable paint or home improvement store is key. Off-brand paints or overstocks can have added water and even lower quality resins and oxides. Less water and high-quality materials…

This house is a stunning home – the sellers have spent over $163,000 totally renovating the home and it truly shows like a model: awesome curb appeal, irrigation, three-car, side entry garage and new roof, fascia and gutters in 2013.

August 5th : National Oyster Day

Tuesday, August 5th, 2014 at 7:52am.

Today is National Oyster Day!  (It is also National Underwear Day, but we’ll leave that alone.)  There are several great restaurants in town that serve oysters, so make sure you go out and celebrate!

 

But first, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page when it comes to an understanding of those slippery little suckers.

 

Did you know?

 

1. One in 10,000 oysters has a pearl.

2. It was once assumed it was only safe to eat oysters during months that contained the letter “r”  in the month name.  This is a myth based in truth, in some instances, oysters are more likely to spoil in May, June, July and August.

3. Oysters must be eaten alive or cooked alive.

4. Fried oysters with egg and flour is a common dish in Singapore.

House of the Week: 1401 Autumn Springs Ct, Old Hickory

Thursday, July 31st, 2014 at 3:00am.

This beautiful house features an open floor plan with Master on main, huge bonus room and a fenced level back yard! This home won’t last long…Don’t miss it!

 

 

A graceful, candelabra style chandelier holds center stage and provides the space with ambient lighting while two-piece crown molding wraps around the room and contrasts beautifully with the rich decorative palate of the room.

 

 

There’s nothing wrong with a little bit of “fancy,” but a warm and cozy home needs an epicenter that is at once relaxing, informal and familiar – hence this fantastic space, anchored by a gas fireplace with marble surround and deep mantle. The room is carpeted to create a visual divide from the foyer and kitchen and provides a softness to the space,…
