I agree.

BMC: also remember that there's considerably more paint inside the bristles than you can see. Part of what you're doing is "pressing" that paint out lightly as you drag the brush along...this is how you control the "line of paint" that you're laying down.

IMHO, It's important to only use light amounts of paint on the brush when you're trying to cut a sharp edge. I'll rarely dip more that a half inch of the brush into the paint...and I clean the brush often to keep it from collecting too much paint in the bristles.

Mr. Silver and I like the same brushes....I use the 2" trim brush with the beveled end. I just got through organizing all my paint brushes. :o I'm the person people ask to help them paint their houses, because it's something I'm good at, and I have all the tools. ;)

I was going to ask if that was Valspar's Belgian Waffle, but I see it's something else. I have Belgian Waffle in my dining room and the ceiling in my kitchen at present. It looks very different depending on the light. And I choose my colors by how they "taste", and Belgian Waffle is YUMMY.

Nice colors!

We have what appears to be the same tall dresser in our son's room, bought it at a local furniture store many years ago. We also have similar paint in our home office, goes well with our MU-Tiger decor.
Tell Silver hello...we met at the LCI conference sorry you didn't get to come. I am one of the local LCI's that helped out.

Silver just got in from the beach an hour ago. She mentioned that she enjoyed meeting you at the LCI. I'll tell her you said hi.

Ok now I am really depressed that you don't all live closer as I have heaps of painting to do in our new abode and I have never painted anything before.

At least I know where to come when I need some pointers. :D
