{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!
after getting 4 kids through their high chair years, my kitchen is in major need of a paint job. i’m thinking a cheerful honey yellow….what a nice way to start the day
I’ve got an old brown buffet just waiting to be primed and painted. Thanks Rhoda and KILZ!
I’ve got a dresser to refinish for my daughters room! 😉
I have had a leak in my bathroom wall where the shower is and it caused a lot of mold to grow. That would be great to use the clean kilz before I repaint because my daughter has juvenile diabetes and I believe the mold causes her to get sick easily.
I have been enjoying your blog for a few months now. I too am single again after 20 years and 3 children.
I would love a free gallon of Kilz because I am a card carrying member of the Goodwill Hunting Club and consistently have a project waiting for a new paint job.
My parents bought a dresser at a garage sale in 1951 just after they got married. (ugly yellow and green.) My whole life that dresser sat in a nitch in our garage as my Dad’s work bench. He almost took it to the junk yard last summer until I begged for it. Dad thinks I’m crazy. It may be beaten up, but has beautiful lines, and I’m dying to redo it. Problem is, it’s covered in lead paint. I’d love to try this primer. Thanks so much, Rhonda and Kilz, for the giveaway.
Hi Rhoda
I am a grade school librarian and I have two book shelves that are in need of a redo. What I want to do is paint them then stencil some library things on them. The Kilz would help with the project.
I love the table. My husband would have a fit if I painted the furniture like you do, but I love it.

I have a hutch that needs a make-over! Great giveaway and thanks for the entry.

I have so many things to use this for. Currently, a wall that needs to be repainted due to the artistic musing of a child, a couple of dressers that need to be redone, and a kitchen I am ready to change the color of walls.
I have several projects coming up. I would love tho try the Kilz.
Thanks

My husband bought this weird — shelf cabinet thing at Lowe’s years ago. It’s stands about waist high and he used it in his office as a printer stand.
The shape of it, the bones of it are fine. But I have ALWAYS imagined it a fun robins egg blue!
I have several spots of water stains on my ceiling and I have been told, Kilz is the best thing to use before painting. And with the leftover, I have a table that is begging to be painted. Thanks Rhoda and Kilz for the information and chance to win!
I have a old dresser that needs a new look!
Thanks for the Giveaway.
How fun! I just spotted your coffe table’s cousin a few weeks ago at Goodwill and she’s waiting for a makeover! I would love to win the Kilz primer to get us on our merry makeover way! Have a great weekend!
a china cupboard!
The coffee table looks beautiful! It’s amazing what white paint can do to give furniture new life.
I have a desk that I need to repaint, so I’d definitely use Kilz to get started on that!
An armoire that needs updating!
I have two chairs that are in dire need of a fresh coat of paint, my husband builds furniture as a hobby so this giveaway would really come in handy at our house. I have used Kilx primer before and it is a great product. Thanks for the great giveaway.

That coffee table looks great! I am planning to paint an old record stand to use as an accent table. The Kilz would be a great way to get it started and push me to find the perfect color to paint it!
Oh this would be so fun! I have an entertainment center I want to paint, I’ve never painted furniture before but have been thinking about it for so long!
