Abstract: The painter's container includes a base and a lid hinged to the base, The base has an interior which is divided into first and second compartments. The first compartment has an upper wall which is spaced apart from the lower wall and which has a number of openings formed therein. One of thy openings has a generally circular side edge and is adapted to receive a paint-can while one or more of the other openings are elongated and parallel to one another and each of which is adapted to receive a cylindrical brush of a paint roller. A partition separates the second compartment into at least two spaces, one of which is of a dimension adapted to receive a paint-tray. A number of resiliently deformable clips extend into the interior of the lid. The clips are arranged in horizontally spaced pairs and between the clips in each pair, a brush, a paint roller, or a scraper or the segments of a handle for extending the reach of a painter is received.
