{Giveaway is Closed}
I’ve been helping my friend, Vicki, with a few updates around her house and first up is that coffee table that we found down in Port St. Joe for the sweet price of $22. I noted that it was a solid wood table and would look great painted creamy white, so Vicki bought it and hauled it home.
It was a perfect candidate for a makeover. That blah wood was begging for a revamp and Vicki wanted to go in a creamy white cottage direction with this table with potential.
We used the same Kilz Clean Start that I used on the porch walls and gave this table a fresh coat, getting it ready for 2 coats of creamy white. The fine folks at Kilz contacted me awhile ago and offered to send me a gallon of their Clean Start primer, so I of course, said YES!
We got a sample quart of Sherwin Williams Antique White to use as the main color.
After a coat of primer and 1 coat of Antique White, she looks like a new table already.
After 2 coats, we were ready to start sanding back the edges for a distressed look. 
I didn’t have my electric sander with me and we ran out of sandpaper, but managed to get some of it done. 
It’s a really cute table now and will be perfect for her family room. I’ll show you more in there as we get moving along on it. Not bad for $22 and some paint!
Here’s some fun news too for ONE of you! Kilz offered to give away to one of my readers, a gallon of Kilz Clean Start of your very own to try out. What can you do with a gallon of Kilz? This stuff is great for walls or furniture, so the sky’s the limit.
All you have to do is leave a comment here on this post, telling me just what project you’d like to try out with Kilz Clean Start?
I’ll choose a winner in a few days and you will receive your very own gallon of primer. You gotta love that! Thanks, Kilz!
I would love a gallon of clean start. I have several small tables. Some water marks on my bedroom ceiling…..it could be used on a million things!!
Everyday I hear the builder grade oak cabinets in our house calling out to me to prime them! Then there’s the pine armoire in our bedroom, the buffet in the kitchen, the dresser in my daughter’s bedroom…maybe that gallon would be the kick in the pants I need to get moving on all these projects!
Well done, just love the way a spot of white paint can bring new life to furnishings and like the way that primer behaves
I’ve never seen this type if kilz primer. Very neat! I have a coffee table and kitchen table, plus chairs, all waiting for paint!
Would love to win…I am always game for paint! I could use the primer for many things perhaps a desk I plan to work on on even in my daughter’s bedroom as it needs a redo! Thanks for this opportunity!

I would love to cover the trellis wallpaper in my master bath.
So funny, I redid the exact same table for my family room. Must have been an era a lot of people got rid of. Anyway, I love the idea of low odor t hat would be so helpful. I’d try it first with a couple of thrifted end tables for the same family room.
We’re finally getting bedroom furniture for our MBR! My husband’s current dresser will be moved to another bedroom–it’s in desperate need of white paint and distressing. I’d be thrilled to have a can of this primer to get started! Thanks for doing a giveaway!
I have a gorgeous buffet that needs to be painted, this would be perfect!
I have a coffee table that I bought 25 years ago and my ex stained and finished. I think it could benefit from an update. I have used Kiltz when we had a roof leak and ceilings were stained…it works as great as advertised. Oh, I just realized, all the bedroom doors upstairs need to be redone and changed from ugly plain, unfinished to stenciled! Pick me, Pee Wee!
Hi Rhoda-
I am a big fan of Kilz and have used it on everything since learning about the use of a good primer when I was young and didn’t know any better. I painted over just stained bookshelves with white paint. Guess what – they ended up pink as the stain bled through. I used Kilz Original to fix it and repaint it again – that was 27 years ago and it is still my go to primer. I have never used the Clean Start, but am excited to try it out.

I would really like to do something about my dining room table and chairs….we’ve had them for over 30 years, if that tells you anything! Would look great painted!!!
I have always been a fan of the Kilz products but have never heard of this particular product. I’m filing the informationaway in my memory banks as I have a dining room table that is definitely awaiting a renovation!!
I am planning to help my daughter in law paint her kitchen cabinets…Kilz would be a great way to start!
I would love it! I have a dresser, two end tables, a desk, and a secretary that are all in line for paint jobs this summer. 🙂 Think I’m gonna be busy!!
PS ~ coffee table is too cute now… makes me want to go find a similar one!
Hi Rhoda: This is perfect timing. Have been helping my young niece spruce up her home. We are refinishing some of her furniture and this would be perfect! Love all Kilz products and have used them on fences, furniture and floors.
Thanks so much, love your blog!

I would like to use the Kilz to paint a chest. I’ve never used this product before. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to use the kilz primer. I am getting ready to re-do my hitch in my kitchen
Rhoda, that looks wonderful. I need that kilz so badly. I have a small entertainment unit in the guest bedroom I want to paint Heirloom white, it would work so well for that..I also saw a queen sized black metal headboard, that I want to paint heirloom white..so this would be perfect!
