Dear James: My kids want to jazz up their bedrooms with new wall colors. What are the best types of paintbrushes and rollers to use for the walls and window and door trim?—Stephanie R.
Dear Stephanie: Nothing improves a room more than a quick coat of fresh paint and color. Your kids are going to love it. Let them choose the color to avoid any complaints from them later. After they choose their color, it’s your turn to choose your tools. Walking through the painting aisle at your home center can be overwhelming. Luckily, most rows of brushes in the racks can be grouped into just a few categories, making your decisions easier.
