Winter has called it quits, and spring is finally emerging.
If you’ve decided that it’s time to do some spring cleaning, you may want to consider tackling your painting area.
Whether you have a full-blown studio, a corner of a spare bedroom or need to set up in your kitchen each time you paint, there are lots of space-saving and organizational items you may be able to incorporate into your little piece of heaven.
