You know how it is!I love my front door.. OK, it’s not really the front door, it’s more of a side door.

of the methods below!I’m about to show you something.If you’re a serial DIYer like I am, it may just change your life a little bit, especially if you’re a bit on the impatient side.. I’ve always hated cleaning paintbrushes after I’m done with them, so I’ve often either just bought really cheap brushes or let them get all hard and crunchy.I’d still try to use them after they were hard and crunchy, but that just never really worked too well and I would just get mad..

When my parents were here a few months ago, they helped me to paint the room we’re working on upstairs and when they were done, they did something really amazing: They cleaned my brushes up really really well!When I went to use them again, it was like paintbrush bristle heaven.

They were so soft and pliable and I just really couldn’t go back.. Of course learning to be patient and take my time to clean the brushes properly just wasn’t an option, so I figured out a way to get the same results, but with no effort or time required.

Sounds pretty good, right?The first thing that we did was bring in this big farmhouse table that seats 8-10 easily.

In the kitchen of my dreams, there would be a big table, just like this with black Windsor chairs right in the middle of the room instead of the islands that most kitchens have these days.When my parents suggested that this might make a nice Christmas gift last year, I jumped on it and got the table of my dreams instead of a “good for now” kinda table.

That went a long way to setting the tone for the whole room.Adding in large scale light fixtures that reflect the style of kitchen that I want, not necessarily the one that I have, also really helped nudge the room in the right direction.
