Spring is almost here and your mind may be turning to “spruce up the house” lists. New paint on the walls is a big mood booster and an easy way to redecorate without a lot of cost.
2-inch blue painter’s tape: protects painted and finished trim and helps you achieve professional paint lines
Drop cloth: protects furniture and floors
Sandpaper: eliminates imperfections
TSP (trisodium phosphate): cleanses without leaving residue
1-1/2 or 2-inch angled sash brush: great for cutting in corners and painting edges
2- or 3-inch flat sash brush: best for painting flat surfaces
Paint tray and disposable liners: the liner eliminates cleanup
9-inch roller, screw-on extension pole and roller cover: essential for coating walls and ceilings
