We’ve been painting rooms in the house, which is monumental, because we’ve lived here for five years and only done touchups. My kids wanted a room switch and that is a good time to paint. We did install a utility sink awhile back, because both my husband and I have always wanted one, and it makes a good place to do the final rinse of the brushes. But then where to let them dry? I grabbed some clips from the kitchen drawer and tada, paintbrush hooks.

One of the clips is designed to hold spoons on a pot. It was not a stretch to extend the use to holding a paintbrush on a utility sink. The other two are clips made from coated wire, which are my favorite kitchen clips because they can be used in the pantry or the freezer. I bent open the thumb loops enough to hook the paintbrush handle hole through. It works to keep the bristles off the bottom of the sink and allow them to dry!
