{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 on Kilz! I am building what I call my “studio” in my garage so my girls and I can have a place to do arts n crafts and I have a place for my sewing! I was given some old cabinets from a school that was getting a make over and am so thankful to be given them but boy are they UGLY!! I am dreading the sanding process…. BUT, if I had some Kilz I could get started now and not have to sand my life away!!! Thank you for your posts and considerations…. love your blog!
That coffee table looks awesome! I have some book shelves that would be first in line for a primer project. I plan to use the shelves in my newly claimed craft room.
… my son has an OLD oak coffee table & end table set… I think they need a WOW that should start with KILZ CLEAN START… Since I am a novice at painting furniture, I cannot imagine doing this project without KILZ! thx for the opportunity
Where do I start with my make overs……….I would use this primer for a night stand and two shelves for my 3 year old grandson’s room. These pieces need help right away.
Hope I win!
Thanks

I have a kitchen table and chairs I want to paint so this would be the ticket. Kilz is great.
Oh boy, I have an antique wardrobe with one mirrored door just begging for some TLC. Thanks for the info and pics to inspire all of us DIYer’s!!!
Rhoda, thanks for your wonderful blog!!!
Two words: Kitchen Cabinets.
I’ve been a Kilz lover forever but have not yet tried this particular product. My spring gardening is complete (though never over) and I’m ready to get out of this heat and work on some indoor projects. I have an armoire in my BR that I’d love to paint! Thank you, Rhoda and Kilz for the opportunity to participate!
I love Kilz, use it all the time but have never tried the “clean start”. I have an old dresser and an old trunk that are still on my to-do list and that’s before I repaint my bedroom walls. So I would love to win, because I have no doubt I’ll being using Kilz for the rest of my life and would really like a free can!
Kitchen cabinets! We’ve been gearing ourselves up to wrangle that elephant in the room. 🙁
I would love to try this paint an old desk chair I have. Count me in!
I would love some to use on my vintage child’s hutch! Then I could finally display my vintage child’s dishes properly!
oh my, I have so many projects I could use this for. Thanks for your awesome inspiration! painting my cabinets white with beadboard wallpaper and painting my dining room table black are just a few of the things I have planned. Now if the weather would just cooperate!
I have a hutch that I would like to redo. We are building a new home and it needs to match the color of the Kitchen island.
I need to paint my porch chairs and swing.
I picked up sewing table and a dresser recently to repaint. I have never tackled this type of project but am looking forward to get it done as soon as the wather is warm enough here is in midwest.
I have an antique piece that really needs to be covered up.

I have a bathroom vanity begging to be remodeled!
the table looks great! i would love this primer…there’s a lot on my list that needs revamping, but i hope to tackle the black wrought iron railings out front of my home. last year we painted the back railings white, so i need cohesion!
Would love to use the primer to redo my drab wooden fireplace!
