***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!

Kristen M says
SHINE ON ME! I would love to get one of her stencils to do some curtains for my family room!
Shannon Karsies says
Open the windows and let the sun SHINE ON ME! Oh how I love to transform even the littlest thing. My new fave? My fabulous lamp finds at my local Salvation Army. What a transformation a little paint makes!
Paula M. says
SHINE ON ME!
I’d be thrilled to win this; ever since Sunny’s products hit your blog and another design blog that I faithfully follow, I’ve been thinking of buying one of her stencils and glazes for use on my condo’s fireplace surround. It’s a very simple surround, currently painted the austere plain-white (or off-white) color that existed when I bought my place a few years ago, so it definitely needs some love!
Sarah P says
Shine on me!
I’m completely inspired by the light, wedgewood blue front door on the Cottage and Vine website. Thinking of painting mine the same color!
Patty says
SHINE ON ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I painted an “Indian” Bathroom in one of my houses years ago and Loved Ralph Lauren’s Balmoral Red paint and hot pink!! It really turned out great and exotic!! I decorated with holy pictures and objects from Eastern and Western cultures. It was the cleansing room from that point on. Body and Soul were cleaned up at the same time! LOL
Anna says
SHINE ON ME!
Just painted my master bedroom grey and am loving it.

SHINE ON ME!
Suzanne Taylor says
SHINE ON ME!
I’ve not yet gotten very creative with color, but it’s on my list of things to do this summer. :)
Cori says
“SHINE ON ME!” Well ever since buying our home we have been in a constant reno- and painting the upstairs bedrooms is the only thing left on our “must do list” then we’ll move to our “want to do list”
I love lists :)
Amanda says
Shine on me!
As a quick, somewhat temporary (3 year) fix, I love the magic of bonding primer that allowed me to paint my hideous countertops and fireplace tile surround something a bit more soothing until I can save up the cash for the real deal.
Megan M says
Shine on me!
I love transforming old picture frames and mirrors to match more modern decor.
Jenny says
Shine On Me! I love refinished furniture with fun paint designs – especially for home offices and kids rooms.
David says
Shine On Me: Stenciled walls.
Jen says
SHINE ON ME! I just started priming my bedroom- this would be perfect!
Brittany G Johnson says
SHINE ON ME!!!!
Paint works for a ton of things! Lamps, walls, floors. I particularly love the art side, paint on canvas and watercolors!
beabee says
Shine on me!
The first thing I painted for the house was the cabinets — white — a year ago. Now I’m all about using the super cheap craft paint to create colorful art!
Mary Beth says
SHINE ON ME!
I don’t have the spot for it in our current house, but I am loving the idea of stenciling (or wall paper, although stenciling seems so much less permanent) on an accent wall…these floors are pretty amazing, too, though. :)
Kelsi says
Shine on me!
I love redoing old furniture with new paint jobs!
marisa says
Shine on me! Stenciled walls! YES PLEASE
Ashley says
SHINE ON ME!
I love the way paint really dresses up old hardwood floors! I haven’t been bold enough to try it in my house, but some friends of mine have inspired me to try.
Heather says
Shine on Me!
And I’ll admit that my favorite use of paints is still my trusty set of oils and hand made canvases! But I would love some tools to freshen up a few rooms in my house in a less canvas-y way!
Liuvys says
SHINE ON ME!
I am about to paint our dated kitchen cabinets a brilliant white! So excited!
Ellie says
SHINE ON ME!!! I just painted a headboard this weekend. Would LOVE this!
Sulma says
shine on me!
I’ve been really wanting to try stencils to transform a blank wall!
Danielle says
“SHINE ON ME!”
I love the color combo of aqua and lime green :)
Jamie says
SHINE ON ME!!!!!! :)
BrittanyH says
Shiiiiine on me!!
I think using pain for color in kids’ rooms — especially baby! — is the most wonderful use of color. It makes the room calm and cheery, as well as helps their beautiful little brains develop.
Amy Wolff says
Shine on me!
I think paint changes a WHOLE ROOM….Cheap way to update any space.
megan says
SHINE ON ME!
Love bold patterns stenciled on walls
Rebie says
SHINE ON ME!
I love what paint does to a old piece of furniture painted in a bold color.
Cat@BudgetBlonde says
Shine on me! I love spray painting thrifted furniture!
Carmen says
SHINE ON ME!
I love how a bold color on the back of bookcases makes such an impact.
L Sapp says
Shine on me :)
I love the colors of Tuscany – rich, earth tones with sudden pops of color.
My soon-to-be sister in law asked me to help re-decorate her new house, and she has this too perfect tuscany style dining room table (dark wood, 4 chairs with a bench on one side – love it!). We’re trying to find the perfect wall color to create a tuscan inspired dining space. Thanks to you guys, I think we have with Sunny’s Good Time Paints! I love the Apricot Color Wash and the Take Me to Tusany Aging Glaze….
Alex says
Shine on me!
I love using stencils to create a damask print on walls, I’d love some new stencils to try it out with.
Alicia S says
Shine on me!
I am a huge fan of Benjamin Moore’s pottery barn colors. I use them in my home. It’s my fool proof way to get paint right because I’m horrible at picking out colors.
Shanna says
SHINE ON ME!!!
I am getting inspiration for my nursery that I will begin decorating next month–still waiting to find out if we will have a boy or a girl! I have been clipping and marking pages from magazines and all over the web—Sunny is a great place to go to!
Heather says
SHINE ON ME!!!
I love taking old things (lamps, dressers, mirrors, etc.) and painting them crisp white! White makes everything better.
Shannon says
SHINE ON ME!!!
My new favorite paint is oil rubbed bronze spray paint. We have been able to save a ton of money by spray painting light fixtures, door knobs, the frame of a lamp shade, and much more. It is the best creation and seems to sell out quickly at our Home Depot.
Beth says
SHINE ON ME!
Kim says
“SHINE ON ME!”
I love glass door kitchen cabinets with a dark accent paint in the interior. Really makes my crystal and white serving dishes pop.
Dana Logan says
SHINE ON ME!
Paint makes everything better (kind of like bacon), but one of my favorite things to do is make my own stencil out of clear plastic film and paint on fabric. Love all the potential…
christina says
Shine on me!
Anything to make old new again, or to fit the personality of the one now enjoying the piece/room/whatever!
Victoria says
SHINE ON ME!
I love bold colors..I’m in the process of painting right now and could sure use some ideas! I’m at a loss :(
Danielle says
SHINE ON ME!
I love the way paint color can set, change and inspire a mood! Can’t wait til we finally sell our house so I can paint a new one from top to bottom!
Rebecca says
SHINE ON ME!
It’s not something I’ve tried yet, but I love the idea of a patterned wall stencil in funky, bold colors. Perhaps I’ll gather the courage . . .
Kylee says
SHINE ON ME!
Lucy says
SHINE ON ME
Most of the furniture in my house was purchased for cheap at thrift stores–a few coats of paint have totally transformed them all.
Allison B says
SHINE ON ME!!!!!
Emily says
SHINE ON ME!
I love how paint refreshes old things – there are too many ways to name my favorite.
