Purdy Paint Brush Review

moving into a new home means one thing….painting. and a lot of it! the contractor grade flat paint in this house leaves marks if you just breath on it. seriously. and with 2 little boys, that’s just not going to work for us. {oh and a pretty new paint color never hurt anyone either ;o} so we are slowly painting. we’ve painted 2 rooms now. i was given a couple Purdy Paint Brushes to try out and see what i thought.

a couple of the missionaries from my church were looking for a service project to do and were so sweet and offered to help me paint my dining room…..and then i convinced them to model the brushes too! haha they were good sports and very helpful!

i have done my fair share of painting. and i’ve used lots of different brushes. by now, davis and i are pretty set in what products we like to use when we paint. and we are very particular about the brand of paint we use. we usually buy the medium quality paint brushes because the cheap ones are just that. cheap. when Purdy contacted me to see if i’d like to try a set of brushes out, i was excited to try out the Cadillac of paint brushes for the first time to see if there was a difference.

my verdict…..there is a difference. Purdy brushes are tapered at the end making it very easy to control where the paint goes. i loved painting with them! and one thing that always bothers me with other cheaper brushes, is how they shed bristles. Purdy brushes do not shed bristles. a HUGE plus in my book. the last thing you want to find on your freshly painted walls is a bristle dried in the middle of it. ugh. that has happened to me before. hate it. i also thought the finish the Purdy brushes gave a finer finish than other brushes.

overall thoughts…. i really enjoyed painting with Purdy brushes. i thought they were light and easy to use. but they are a bit pricey. if you are planning to paint only one room, may not worth a few extra dollars. but if you are planning on painting more than one room, i think the ease of use and the higher quality finish, definitely make them worth paying a little more.

***and yes, i will be showing you my freshly painted dining room soon. the color is fabulous! :)***
disclosure: i was given free product to review. i was in no way obligated to give a good review. all opinions are 100% mine.  please see the link on my sidebar for my complete disclosure statement.
