seasonal decorations and that feeling of time passing with the seasons that you get when you take a moment to acknowledge it.

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.Try painting around trim and things like that without tape, and you’ll probably be surprised at how easy it really is to get a nice straight line.You may have to pay a little more attention to what you’re doing on a particular section, but that hour of taping everything off that you’ll save will be worth it.

For any little mistakes, just carry a damp rag and wipe as you go.Save the painting tape for when you want to do fancy designs or stripes or things like that.. #3: Don’t Be a Perfectionist.

That old saying of “If you can’t do something right, don’t do it at all” just doesn’t apply to painting.

There isn’t really a right way to paint as long as you manage to get the paint from the can onto whatever surface you want it on, and it looks good in the end.So cayenne pepper is a great one for keeping cats away.

There are a few other common ones that people often use with great success too.. Tin Foil.Place tin foil around the bottom of your plants.

Cats apparently hate to walk on it and eventually they’ll just learn not to go there and you can remove the tinfoil completely.. Something Sticky.Putting something like double-sided tape where a cat will walk to get to your plants or flowers will work the same way as tin foil in that they’ll eventually just learn not to go there and you can remove it altogether.. Orange or Citrus Peels.
