I think I spend at least an hour a day answering email questions and when I get the same questions repeatedly … well who has an hour a day to spend answering the same questions over and over? In an effort to “try something more effective”, I’ve put all my Painting Tips and Tricks are on this handy gallery page that I created to make it easy to find what you’re looking for.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Sandra! this is going straight to my how-to folder–an all in one! And I love how you did a few posts recently (like the fall decor one) about decor. You are such a sawdust girl that seeing your design side and interest in that was a nice treat 🙂 And sorry but I think I need to email you a question about our stringer to our stairs. We can’t do a thing to our walls until we get that figured out—it will be on it’s way with pics to help in explaining.
