Matching Paint Colors
Let's say you have painted a room in your house and have nothing to use as a sample of the color for purchasing matching accessories. Just grab an ice cream stick or small stir stick and dip it into the paint. Take the stick with you to the store when buying your new decorating items

Painful Wire Handles
When you are moving about with heavy paint cans, those wire handles can sometimes really hurt your hands. Try cutting a piece of old garden hose. Slit the hose on one side and slip it over the paint handle. It's an instant cushion.

To Clean A Washable Wallpaper
For everyday dirt and dust accumulation, dip a sponge or clean cloth in mild detergent mixed with cool water; wipe the surface clean, then rinse with cold water and blot dry with a clean cloth.

Steel Wool Splinters
If you are using steel wool to refinish wood or to buff a cabinet, this usually results in painful splinters and red hands. Robber gloves even don't do the job. Try cutting a tennis ball in half, creating a cup. Insert the steel wool pad into the cup and buff away.
