Design to Value: Shaping a Better Built Environment | Martin Wood

It’s a pretty simple process.

Wherever you can, I highly recommend using disposable foam brushes and rollers.This doesn’t always make sense, but for small projects, or for projects where you really want a smooth finish with no brush strokes, foam is the way to go.

We used foam brushes on our.DIY wood floors.recently and I love to use them any time I’m making a chalkboard.

I’ve also started using the mini foam rollers for pretty much every wall I paint too.I find them just as quick to use as the large rollers and so much easier to deal with.

I’d much rather accomplish my project and throw out the brush afterwards, than not get anything done because I just don’t want to make a mess that day.. #2: Save the Tape.

For most everyday painting jobs, painting tape really isn’t necessary.Do you have a favorite color scheme for Christmas decorating?

I really don’t and it makes things pretty crazy around here sometimes.I love the reds, the blues, the greens, the golds, the silvers, the sparklies, the rustic country stuff, everything.

Just not all at once, which is usually what ends up happening.So I thought maybe I’d try to make each room a different color or mood or theme or whatever.
