UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.
The winners will be contacted shortly!
It’s Labor Day weekend — and for Dave and me, that almost always means some sort of painting project. The Home Depot always has a great rebate on Behr paint {my favorite paint} so we usually stock up on plain white paint and then have it tinted later as we decide on color choices.
This year, we’re painting our kitchen walls and ceiling, a bunch of trim, and our front entryway.
I just LOVE how a fresh coat of paint totally transforms a room (or a piece of furniture) for less than $30! What an inexpensive, and relatively simple project, especially for those of us who enjoy painting.
And even if you don’t love painting, but you do it anyway because you’re too cheap to pay a professional, I’ve got a fun painting tool that will make your life just a little easier…
I first heard about The Paint Brush Cover a few months ago, and I’ve had ample opportunities to test it out over the course of our kitchen renovations this summer.
These covers are a really simple concept, but boy do they save your brushes — which means they save you time and money by protecting your brushes from drying out. And they work WAY better than plastic wrap {ahem… speaking from first-hand experience!}
So if you’re planning any painting projects, or if you’d just like to protect and properly store your current brushes, you just might want to give The Paint Brush Cover a try!
You can watch the video about how it works; you can order The Paint Brush Cover directly from their website {which is also full of helpful tips}; and you can also enter to win one of 25 that I’m giving away this weekend!

I almost always have a plastic-wrapped paint brush in my freezer! A cover would be great for the times I actually wash them out…!

I have never seen this before. We (my husband!) painted 6 rooms this Spring. This would have been very handy! Our next project is remodeling our basement.

Wow, I have never seen this before; I always wrap it in plastic wrap. I plan to paint our spare bedroom.

Hi, I just came across your page looking for the dawn/vinegar cleaner for my bathroom. I was gently pulled in and am still reading (although I did clean the bathroom first and boy does that cleaner work…..love it) anyway I am getting ready to paint my oldest sons bedroom because he would like it to be brighter. I love your tips and will be back for more. Thanks

Due to procrastination, our second bathroom is WAY overdue for a facelift. We’ve removed the toilet, vanity, lighting and all wall hardware and flooring. The paint brush cover will come in mighty handy! Believe me…. we are novices at this, so pray that we don’t destroy our good intentions :^) We really need to take out the tub, but we have been told it is a huge undertaking, so it looks like we’ll pass on that. Looking forward to a fresh new modern look :o) I’m going to use some of the ideas you posted of your bathroom remodel-LOVED IT! A lot of planning and practicality went into it and it showed!
mary blosat says

In the midst of painting my utility room now. Hope to finish it tomorrow. I have a paint brush that is mine only. Everyone knows to not touch it. I still have the original cardboard cover after about 15 or so years. Same thing with my good sewing scissors. I already like SOL.

We just did our bathroom (actually we HAD it done)
Next, we need to figure out a way to get rid of “wild cucumber”
In our foundation plants. And…remove wallpaper and paint our hallway.
