My wife received a very old wall hanging mirror recently from her Grandmother. The wood frame is bold, and stands out as something that is valuable. Guests to our home have commented on how nice the mirror looks. Sure a mirror is a mirror, but the wood frame makes this mirror special. Not to mention it was handed down from a couple of generations.

The wood was very dry, and scratched with time. We had considered spending money to have it restored to its original glory. Then I came across Rejuvenate. This product is sold on QVC, and TV infomercials. I applied some Rejuvenate Cabinet and Furniture Restorer & Protectant to a small area, and then literally wiped the wood frame. Of course following the directions to a tee. Now, this mirror is ready for another 100 years of proud display. Read more

Black & Decker’s new PaintStick EZ-Twist is a painting tool for do-it-yourselfers and makes painting faster, neater and easier.. Say goodbye to old-fashion paint rollers, bending over and messy paint trays. The EZ-Twist offers tray-less painting and draws paint directly from the paint can.

The EZ-Twist speeds up painting and gives you more painting control, allowing you to paint an entire room in one-third the time than compared with a standard roller and paint tray.

The EZ-Twist twisting action feeds even the thickest paint to the roller. The Twist Lock release allows you to flick a switch to twist small or large quantities of paint on to your surface. A small twist applies a small amount of paint for precision painting, or a larger twist applies more paint to cover a larger area quickly. A single fill of the PaintStick EZ-Twist paints an entire 8-foot by 8-foot area without reaching, bending or climbing on a ladder. You can even paint ceilings without worrying about getting paint on you, your clothes or the floor by snapping on the Spatter Shield. Read more
