{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!
Next on my list is painting my cedar chest that was passed down to me from my Mother. It is stripped and ready for some lovin’! Thanks for the chance to win this great product. AJ

I would try it on a dresser I just bought that has some pretty flowers carved in it 🙂
What a great giveaway! I would use this on an antique buffet that I’m needing to refinish. I was wanting to get some Kilz to prime it with!
My baseboards need repainting and a coat of primer first is in order. Thanks for such a generous giveaway.
That table looks awesome!! I love what a little paint can do for a tired piece of furniture. I’d use the primer on two vintage end tables that I picked up at the dump!
1 Gallon Kilz primer = 9 X 12′ room of crown moulding
2- Office size Formica desks
w/drawers (inside & out) with new trim
1- Chest of Drawers (inside & out)
1- Book Case (& Bare Wood Crown)
1- File Cabinet (outside only)
1- 6′ Shelf
14- Picture Frames
I would love to paint our nightstands! I painted a head and foot board I found on Craig’s List last year and never got around to the nightstands so this would be just the nudge I need to get going!
Since I have been under doctor’s orders to not walk or do ANYTHING, due to 5 surgeries in 12 months, I am anxious to get back to painting my junk finds. Hopefully in June I will get the okay to resume life and the first two things I am going to do at the same time is a bench I have that was my mothers and a great oval side table that I got for $10.00. Good luck to me :o) And you to!! I live in New Brunswick in Canada but have a mail box in Maine where we have items shipped to. It is a short drive and allows me to order things in the US that we cannot get here in Canada….love your stuff!
I have a thrift find chair and table I would love to paint in a fun color. I have used kilz before in my daughter’s bathroom. That stuff is great. The walls were dark blue and we went to white using Kilz as the primer. Thanks for a useful giveaway.
I just used up my primer, so this would be great to have on hand. I’ve always got a furniture project lined up 🙂
I’ve got a cute retro table I picked up at a garage sale…I’m ready to do something with it.
We’re stripping off the laminate from when we had our cabinets refaced 16 years ago, and now we’ll be painting them . . . like we should have done way back when. It’s quite a project, and there’s certainly lots of primer in our future! Kilz is definitely the way to go. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would redo the ugly old rocking chair in my classroom that another teacher gave to me. It’s got good lines, but it looks hideous right now and I have it down as one of my summer projects.
i’d like to paint the pine desk my son has in his room.
I have a similar coffee table that I would LOVE to re-do. I am a huge fan of KILZ products anyway, so this is a great giveaway for me. Thanks!

I have a bedroom with 2 walls painted a rusty red color that I want to change to pale aqua. I know I am going to have to use Kilz on these walls to get coverage. That’s what I would use my gallon for if I won. Thanks.
i would love to redo a pair of night stands… i’m so itching to find a great pair to paint…. = )
I have an old (ancient) pine bedroom furniture set that is crying out for a paint-over. I would use the Kilz to block out those pine knot holes that are everywhere! Thanks for the chance to win.
I just scored a pair of dressers that I’m dying to makeover. In their previous life, they were actually standard-issue dorm loft furniture, so while they are amazingly heavy-duty, solid wood and structurally sound, they are dirty, UGLY, and oh-so BLAND! But with paint and fab new hardware, I’ve got grand plans for these as our new nightstands. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have a large cabinet that needs painting. I am converting my small dining room into my craft/sewing room, and this would sure help me head in the right direction. Jackie
