DIY Painting Tip:
When your paint project goes longer than one day, keep your paint roller wet overnight with kitchen plastic wrap. Cut two pieces of wrap about 15 inches long. Fill the roller as you normally would to paint a wall. Roll it into one piece of plastic and wrap the second one over the ends. The next day, unroll the plastic and the roller is ready to use.
Apply a crackle paint finish on furniture old and new.
