***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!

Caty says

My husband and I are in the process of painting the floor of our new house (including a checkerboard in our 2yr old daughter’s room)! I paint basically anything I can get my hands on! My furniture, my floor, my mailbox!!

SHINE ON ME! I’m excited to paint my front porch. I think it will change the look of our house without having to repaint the whole thing!
orly says
shine on me!
i love all of the arches in our house. i can see the warm latte color of the living room, the asparagus of the dining room, and the burst of lemon yellow from the kitchen. paint helped set the mood in each room, and they play well together.

SHINE ON ME!!
I am painting a large picture frame for over our mantle and replacing the art with a mirror. All of the miscellaneous picture frames I’ve collected are going to get a new look too! Oh, what paint can do!
Tristen D says
SHINE ON ME!!!
My favorite use of paint in my current home has to be on the letters of my daughter’s name hanging above her crib, they were custom painted to look like her crib set & mobile. So cute!
Leigh Ann says
Shine on me!
I’ve just gotta have Sunny’s books! I want to stencil a wallpaper look in my foyer!
michele says
SHINE ON ME!
I painted one wall in my kitchen charcoal exactly like my counter tops. It is a seamless effect without any backsplash and no upper cabinets. So unexpected, I love the drama!
Ashton says
SHINE ON ME!!!
I love to transform old furniture with a fresh coat of paint
Megan Sullivan says
Shine on me!
My all time favorite project that I have done with paint was transforming my backyard deck into a floral oasis. I painted flowers around the outside of the deck to make it look like a border.
Tricia says
SHINE ON ME! I saw a room that had barely-there stencils on the walls in a shimmery hue. It was ethereal and I loved it.
Rhonda says
SHINE ON ME!!!
Too many great paint projects, but I loved one woman’s stenciled recreation of a great F&B wallpaper.
Jen Boscacci says
SHINE ON ME!
We bought a home and have been painting like crazy. I want to try doing stripes in our laundry room similar to what you did for your bathroom. Really inspired me!
Thanks!
Sarah P. says
SHINE ON ME!
Forgive me while I go sappy and cheezy on you… my favorite use of paint is the paint that helps my toddler aged daughter make homemade gifts using hand and footprints. I never ever want to forget how precious those tiny chubby little fingers and toes are at this stage… definitely a mess worth making!
Meghan B says
SHINE ON ME!
Bethany says

I found a great old nightstand at Goodwill once for $8. I stripped, sanded, and painted it bright white. Best ever!

I loved to paint…before I had kids! Now that they’re a little older, I’d love to try all the DIY paint makeovers I read on these decor blogs~
Jennifer Swoboda says
Shine on me! Wow those are adorable monograms. my hubby is from richmond so I can’t wait to check out the new shop next time we are up for a visit!
Annette says
SHINE ON ME! I love how repainting my childhood girlie dresser and desk transformed into guest furniture and then furniture for my 3 year old son.
Becky says
shine on me! I love to paint things I find on the side of the road!
Joanna says
SHINE ON ME!
I love using paint to repurpose old decor items like picture frames and framed mirrors. We recently rehabbed an old (and tacky) mirror by painting the frame fire engine red. It looks great against our charcoal painted wall!
Rachelle says
SHINE ON ME! Please! I would love to be able to use some of Sunny’s great ideas on my several redecorating projects. One of the new colors on my walls was the paint color of our painted cabinets in the old Utility room and bathrooms. It is an older color from Martha Stewart called “Tortilla.” It is perfect in our new cottage home! Thank you!
Danielle says
SHINE ON ME!
Looking forward to painting my kitchen cabinets!
Jonathan says
Well… hope one day contests will be opened to other countries ! Keep it up, you are doing a very good job, and your house is wonderful. A reader far from your home … from France :)
jill says
SHINE ON ME! -a newly sanded and stained piece of furniture never stops being worth the effort!!

Emily says
Shine on me! I had a hard time choosing a paint color for my living room. Nervously, I chose Overcast by Glidden. Thankfully it wasn’t a gloomy choice, although it is kinda moody. It changes depending in the light. Of anything in our home, it receives the most compliments by far.
Lauren says
SHINE ON ME
I love using paint and stencils to recreate fabric!
Christy says
SHINE ON ME!
I love the happy feeling I get when I walk into my children share. Bottom half of the room is sweet cream and white stripes, top half is the sky. Pink fluffy clouds on my daughters with a hidden bunny and white and gray/blue clouds on my sons side with a hidden turtle. I find myself looking for more hidden animals even though I painted them!
Emily Rae says
SHINE ON ME!
I just redid a laundry hamper w/ bright new blue and yellow paint — and I saw the same hamper at my thrift store today, and am contemplating doing the reverse color scheme on it to hold my out-of-season clothes!
Jennifer says
SHINE ON ME!
My laundry room needs a paint makeover so… fingers crossed!
jenn says
Shine on me!! I love painting almost everything. From frames that need a spruce up…to the leg of a chic, marble bistro table given to us by a friend. I even have a chair I found on the sidewalk currently sitting in our basement waiting for me to decide on the perfect color!
Kerry says
SHINE ON ME! I would love to do wide stripes on my living room floor.
Amber Martin says
Shine on me!
I love chalk board paint and spray paint….especially spray paint. You can change a really ugly object into something appealing…super invention if you ask me. Chalk board paint is just fun, what other way would you ever be allowed to draw on your wall? :o)
Jomie says
SHINE ON ME!
My favorite paint job was my kids’ nursery. I painted the alphabet at around chair rail height and my talented sister-in-law painted objects for some of the letters. Ants at the ‘a’, ladybug on a leaf for ‘l’, yo-you for the ‘y’, etc.
Molly H says
SHINE ON ME!
I made a headboard out of old shutters and then painted it to match my color scheme in my studio! I love it!
