***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries.***
If you’re a Richmonder, you might’ve already deciphered that the Sunny mentioned in this morning’s Reader Redesign is none other than local paint heroine Sunny Goode. Heck, even non-locals with a good memory might have picked up on it since Sunny’s name has popped up more than once on YHL, like when we house crashed this Domino-featured home that sported Sunny’s signature stenciled paint treatment on her floors:
Or when we dropped in on her store, Sunny’s Goodtime Paints, a couple of years ago:
Plus we even got to sneak a peek of one of her newest creations: the floor at the soon-to-be open children’s consignment boutique called Clover located in Richmond’s Carytown district. Sidenote: we’ll be showcasing even more inspiration from this stunning shop soon because it’s chock full of awesome (and doable!) ideas.
But in case you’re still in the dark about just how talented and inspiring Sunny is, allow us to shine a little light on the subject. Sunny serves up a boatload of tools and inspiration to make your next paint job work a little harder when it comes to creating a more unique, playful, personal, and beautiful space. We know her best for her stencils, color washes, and stains- which can bring some much-needed pattern to a blank floor or wall. But she’s also got monograms, decals, and even two books (Paint Can! and its kid-tastic sidekick).
So because Sunny has so much fun stuff to dish out, we’re excited to announce that TWO lucky winners will score an $100 shopping spree. So you have the chance to snag whatever goodies catch your eye on her site the most! And the rest of you will be able to cash in on a pretty sweet discount too (stay tuned for those details on Thurs). But enough jibber-jabber. Here are all the deets:
- PRIZE: $100 towards anything from Sunny’s Goodtime Paints
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SHINE ON ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … help us get the creative painting juices flowing and share your favorite use of paint (whether it’s something you’ve done or just something you’ve seen). Is it a surprisingly stellar color combo? An object that was totally transformed by a few brushstrokes? Or perhaps a painted pattern or stencil that really make the room?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, July 21st at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: The lower 48 United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

Shine on me!
I recently craigslisted a cute airplane rocker for my daughter’s room. I wanted it to match and be less bright (since it was your typical kid-color – red/yellow/blue), so I got a couple cans of sample paint at Home Depot and painted it aqua and tangerine! It looks really cute, if I do say so myself :)
Alison says

SHINE ON ME!
In the bedroom of my last apartment, I painted a tone-on-tone large scale pattern inspired by a Louis Sullivan design. The place was only a rental but the next tenant insisted that the landlord NOT repaint the room when I moved out, so I definitely felt it was worth the effort.

Hilary Delgadillo says
SHINE ON ME!
I am currently loving the use of paint and stencils in lieu of wallpaper. It is much easier (no soaking paper, pressing out air bubbles, removing!) and makes such a dramatic beautiful impact.
Mary S says
Shine on Me!
I’m in the process of redoing my dining room. I recovered chairs and am painting the new bench my husband just built for me (from Ana White’s plans)! I would love to paint the entire room and try a fun stencil along the wall.

We painted some wood crates years ago that have come with us through several moves – they make great crush-proof moving boxes, and then stylish modular shelves or single cubes.
Gina says

I’ve been really inspired by painting on old furniture. I’m looking for a great bargain on a simple piece of furniture to refinish and paint a funky stencil on to add some character. Love the inspiration from this blog!
Alyssa says
Shine on ME!
As a new home renter, I haven’t done too much painting just yet, but when my mom painted my bedroom previously, she painted the ceiling the same delightful shade of green as two of the walls. It totally expanded the room and I love it!

Zerique says
shine on me!!!
I am looking into a really interesting paint design for my backsplash rather than putting up a tile backsplash. Trying to be more creative and also have something that can easily be changed as (if) my style and interests change.
Jennifer says
Shine on me:
We used YHL as our nursery inspiration and painted horizontal stripes on two of the walls in pale blue and green. It is lovely!

Paint is a miracle worker! I love a fresh coat of white on most anything, but last weekend added 14 inch white stripes on my pale yellow living room accent wall. It was super easy and what a difference it made.
Ana Brightful says

I love a nice painted surprise, be it the insides of drawers or a cabinet. So nice!
Chris says
Shine on me!!
When I used to think of stencils, all I could think of was country geese and apples from the 80’s! Then I spotted a wallpaper stencil done on an entire wall in a an aged moss green and I was sold! I can’t wait to try it in my own home.
Alicia says
We’d love to paint floors one day!
