Tip of the Day



Make Short Work of Painting

Known for his paintings and posters of Paris, the diminutive Toulouse-Lautrec gained fame by capturing vivid scenes of cabaret life in the 1800s. There's a new type of paintbrush available that might help make you famous too. You know all those short specialty tools that you have in your toolbox, like stubby screwdrivers and stubby wrenches for working in tight spaces? Well, now there's a stubby paintbrush too. You could just cut the handle off one of your regular brushes but, it wouldn't perform as well. These have a nice grip and special balance for smooth painting. There have been times when a long handle was a hindrance. Just ask for a diminutive brush at the hardware store. And that's the On The House tip for today.
