My new favorite tool

This is how we roll...
paint.

I picked up the camera to take some pictures of one of my new favorite tools when painting so that I could share it with you. When I went to download the photos I got much more than I thought (refer above). My son apparently found the camera. The pictures made me smile though because they reminded me that I have a hard time learning my lesson when painting...I am a lazy painter...hence I hardly ever put on proper clothing and never never tape. For that I always put myself at such high risk of ruining a completely good outfit...it has been known to happen. When I went to pick up the girls with my paint encrusted hands their teacher said, "You painted in those clothes?" Yep I sure did. She just shook her head.

Well now that we have disclosed that I am a lazy painter how about I share some of my lazy paint tips that have been really helping me get the job done without taping. My new favorite tool comes in the form of precision tip Q-tips and I have a feeling I will be using these little things quite a bit in my future. Just imagine all of the possibilities with this things..or just imagine John Cusack in Better Off Dead..please say you know what I am talking about or else I'm going to feel really old? When it came down to it today the little red shur line tool could only get me so far in the corners. That is when I recruited the little white precision tip...worked like a charm.

Next up trim and baseboards...those dirty suckers.
