Rhonda's Tip #4 - Rhonda's Tools Part I

If you've taken a Workshoppe with Rhonda J or you've been to one of her Shoppe locations...you know how serious she is about her tools! For Rhonda's tip this week we are showcasing a couple of Rhonda's favorite tools - her Annie Sloan Brushes.

The Pure Bristle Brush - Annie Sloan created her Pure Bristle brushes to be used specifically with Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan and Annie Sloan Soft Waxes. The brush is dense, but pliable, so you use more paint with each application which allows you to get through your coats of paint quicker. The shape of the oval wooden handle fits firmly into your hand during painting or waxing. These brushes are available in 3 different sizes and will last forever with proper clean-up!

Annie Sloan Short Wax Brush - This brush is new to Rhonda J's Shoppe for 2015 and we love it! The handle was ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the hand to make the application of waxes even smoother. The tapered tip helps get wax into the "nooks and crannies" of detailed hard to reach places. 


Get all these brushes and more at Rhonda J's Shoppes!
