{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!
There is a sad little table in my downstairs den that desperately needs a makeover. This would give me the kick-start I need to get-er-done!
The table looks adorable! I would love to use the Kilz to prime my red walls! After following your blog, I’m inspired to slowly make the change in my home to a more “cottage” type look.
My company closed one of their stores and I was able to buy 2 cocktail tables for $6!! I will have to scrap off some gum and maybe cut the legs down but it will be worth it. It was such a rush to get a great deal and to come up with so many ideas with them! The paint will be such a huge help. Thank you!
What would I do with a gallon of Kilz paint? How bout using it on my children’s bathroom to remove the Big Bird Yellow all over the walls. And I do mean Big Bird Yellow. It hurts your eyes to look at it. UGH!!! It needs Kilzing badly.
Wow! I just found your blog a few days ago and have been dreaming of painting a few of my pieces a creamy white to match the trim in my brand new house. Thanks for showing a painted piece in white!
BTW – I’ve got about 6 pieces of hand-me-down furniture that has been withering away in my basement that are just dying for a paint refresh and new home in my, well, new home!
(Interpret this to read: Pick me! Pick me!)
nice table makeover, the distressing just makes it look even better. I’d love to win this Kilz to paint my living room.
I have an entry table and a chest of drawers just waiting to be painted. I love the transformation you accomplished on the table. I also plan to do a little distressing. Thanks for the chance to win.
My kitchen is crying for Kilz. A few years back I painted it a dark country blue. My kitchen needs more light, I need a primer to get back to where I started.
Oh, I’d love some Kilz Clean Start to get going on a piece I bought 2 years ago for the sunroom. Love the coffee table!
Great Giveaway. I just picked up a French Provencial Lingerie chest at the local GW. Would love to try the Kilz product on this vintage chest. I am wanting to turn it into a Jewelry Amoire!
Beautiful project!!!

The coffee table turned out great! I have a old, brown bookcase from my son’s room I want to paint white and move to the guest room.
I just bought a fantastic old buffet from an Antique / Junk store last week for $40. The Kilz is definitely needed for this project.
HI-
I have a bench just begging to be primed, painted, and distressed for my kitchen table!!
I have a few pieces of old wood furniture that I would love to give a new coat of paint. Thanks!
I have several old doors waiting for my magic touch.
Hmm…dare I update the large sewing machine cabinet (circa early 1970s) that my dear mother-in-law passed down to me? I vote yes!
I’ve got a bathroom that needs a complete revamp
I have a dresser I bought at a garage sale sitting in my garage that could really use some Kilz. I also have a couple of rockers that could use some Kilz.
The coffee table looks beautiful in the white. I would love to try the Kilz Clean Start primer. I am getting ready to paint our nightstands and dresser in our master bedroom. Thanks for the opportunity on your giveaway!
