{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!
When I was in college my friend and I volunteered to help her brother repaint some rooms in his rental home…..someone had painted one of the rooms all black and Kilz was THE ONLY paint /primer that covered it!!!! I love Kilz’s….i have a red painted guest bedroom that I have been wanted to repaint since we purchased our home (2006)…….Kilz is exactly what I need to movtivate me…..I know it will cover the fire engine red!!!!!

I just bought a new to me long dresser and am getting antsy to refinish it. Maybe with some help from Kilz I could get this project started!
LOVE Kilz! I am have a vanity I want to paint white and this would be the perfect way to kick off the project!

I have several pieces of furniture that were my Grandmother’s. I love the shapes but not the dark mahogany. Think this paint would be great to prime them with. Susan
I have an ugly pair of colonial bookcases I would like to transform by replacing the hardware and some of the curved trim. The Kilz would be the first step in the reno for me.
The coffee table looks great! I would love to win this so I could do a makeover on a table that is sitting in my garage.
My dining room–hutch, jelly cabinet & table
The table turned out lovely!
It would love a good quality paint for my Bistro table on the front porch that is begging for some TLC. It’s looking pretty neglected!
I have an old armoire that’s waiting on a makeover!
I have a cherry wood dining room table that is working my last nerve! Would love to paint it a beautiful Teal color!
I love the coffee table makeover – charming and elegant! And I would love to win some Kilz – great stuff! Thanks so much for the giveaway opportunity!!!
I’ve used a lot of Kilz, but never the Fresh Start. Would like to try it on my next project.
I have a GW find antique sewing cabinet that I want to paint and turn into a little beverage center by the pool.
Hmm. I’ve been thinking about painting the bathroom, so would probably go there–although I’ve got some furniture that could use a “cottagy” look, too! Thanks for the giveaway, Rhoda. That table looks great!
Blessings,
Marilyn
Oh my word!! I have so many projects to complete…I really can’t choose just one….just know that I would put a gallon of Kilz primer to very good use!!
Thanks for the give-away!!

Hi,
Well, to make a real long story extra short…….my little sister Liz gave me her curio cabinet when she moved a few years ago. It has seen many a memory of weddings, babies born and school trinkets. Tomorrow is her 1st aniversay of her passing last year of colon cancer at 58. It is time for a redo!
Wow the coffee table looks great! What a difference a little paint and primer can make. I have an oak dining table/chairs and hutch that I have been wanting to paint for a long time. I would love a chance of trying a gallon of Kilz Clean Start. Thanks Rhoda and Kilz for the opportunity.
I’ve used regular Kilz but never the Clean Start. Would love to try it on dresser I’m redoing for a flat screen tv stand.
