Ace Hardware created their own holiday yesterday.

They announced that April 3rd is Some Day, a day to stop procrastinating and to start your own do-it-yourself home improvement project.

The company is encouraging people to paint. “Paint is the easiest way to put a fresh face on tired walls or make old siding look and feel new again. We also realize paint procrastination is real. A new pop of color or walls that make your friends talk is the perfect way to kickstart spring; fresh paint feels better than your deepest spring cleaning. Rest assured your locally owned Ace store is here to help, every step of the way.”
