Spring is here, and your head is probably filled with visions of epic putts on the 18th green. However, your better half has other plans — a spring home makeover! Krogen's Do It Best, a hardware retail outlet in Boscobel, WI, since the 1930s, carries all the power tools, paint, and supplies you need to give your home the facelift it deserves.

Below are some of the painting supplies you'll need for your spring project:

• Drop Cloths & Rags: For interior jobs, you should lay down plastic or canvas drop cloths to protect carpeting and furniture from spattering paint. Canvas is reusable, but it requires a double layer to prevent bleed-through. Also, keep clean rags on hand for emergency wiping. Boscobel's best hardware retail store has all the cloths and rags you'll need to keep things clean while you're working.
• Brushes & Rollers: Brushes with natural bristles are stiff, and they are the best choice for oil paint and lacquer. Rayon or polyester bristles are less expensive but lower in quality. Nylon brushes are ideal painting supplies for outdoor use and rougher surfaces. 9-inch rollers cover a lot of area quickly, and they are best for walls and ceilings. Smaller rollers are ideal for trim and corners. Pick up an extension pole to reach high spots.
• High- & Low-Pressure Sprayers: Sprayers are the ideal power tools for painting large or complex surfaces — e.g. wrought iron gates, cyclone fences, or metal lawn furniture. High-pressure sprayers are best for outdoor use, while low-pressure sprayers provide a silky smooth and even finish for indoor work.
• A Ladder: The last of your painting supplies is a sturdy ladder to reach corners, trim work, or other areas too detailed to paint with an extension rod. Like everything else, you will find the perfect ladder for your spring project from the top hardware retail store in Boscobel.

Of course, you will also need paint, and the experts at Krogen's Do It Best will be happy to help you select the right type and brand. They treat customers like family, so you can be sure to get an earful of terrific advice. Visit the hardware retail store online or call (608) 375-4656 for more information.
