There’s nothing like a fresh coat of paint to lift your spirits and make it look like you live in a new home. But it’s hard to find time to paint a whole room in one shot. Paint one wall at a time! Here’s how to make it easy…

If you don’t finish painting in a day, instead of cleaning the brush or the roller, just wrap it in aluminum foil, put it in a plastic bag that can be loosely closed with a twist tie, and put it in the freezer. The next day, thaw out the brush or the roller for at least one hour before you’re ready to start painting again.

The best news: A wrapped paintbrush or roller can be stored in the freezer for days, weeks or even months, until the next time the painting bug hits you.
