***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!
When I was like 12 or so my parents painted my childhood bedroom. It was a weird shade of blue green and had a wall where all my friends had written on it in sharpie and I put britney spears quotes ect. We painted that wall a chocolate brown and the rest a light blue. It changed my room from a pre-teens room to a more sophisticated space. It meant a lot. Of course now I wonder what all used to be on those walls.. darn my bad memory..

Recently, I painted a wooden patio set and benches from IKEA (again) a crisp white. I brought the benches inside and now use 2 of them as our coffee table. The white makes them look beachy chic!

My daughter has been having problems with allergies, and since it was her birthday, we decided on a bedroom re-do. She requested pink with green polka-dots! We painted the walls a bright bubble gum pink and traced our clothes baskets, bowls, and lids to get random sized green circles. We then went on to paint the subfloor (we filled all the seams and screws) the same green as the wall polka dots and used the pink from the walls to make the dots on the floor. With a couple of coat of gloss polyurethane it was spectacular! So to answer the question, a painted floor is my new favorite thing to do with paint. LOVE IT!

When we bought our home we had painted every ceiling, and wall – such a makeover! Love to paint old furniture too!
Ashley says
SHINE ON ME!
My favorite use of paint would have to be with pottery. There’s nothing more enjoyable than blending and mixing colors to create a design on a vase or plate, etc and seeing how it turns out after it’s been fired up. :)
Tasha says

I use paint for everything!! I just recently stenciled a damask pattern on a wooden bench that is now on my patio and matches my doormat.

I LOVE painting things…furniture, wall, metal, plastic…you name it. Every room in my house has been painted t least twice and I have only been here 2 years. My last favorite project was painting a wood play kitchen I made for my daughter an aqua color. I even painted her art easle to match :)

I love Ralph Lauren metallic paint. At first I was worried it might be a little too much but our sterling silver accent wall in our master bedroom is my favorite wall in our house!
Georgia says
Shine on me! Right now the thing I want most is to paint my walls, but I can’t because I rent! So I’m painting my furniture instead. Whatever looks good with my white walls.
LaurenS says
SHINE ON ME! Well it wasn’t me, but in the house I grew up in my parents did this way cool diamond pattern in my dad’s office with black and white diamond shapes. It was soooo cool looking!
Stephanie says
SHINE ON ME!
I loved the wall treatment you had on the blog a while ago – the one where it looked like a wallpapered wall behind the headboard! I can’t wait to own my own home & do that.
Laura says
SHINE ON ME!!!
I think paint of any kind can transform a room- either on walls, ceiling, trim or furniture! Paint is always a good thing!

I love that paint can transform an ugly object with an ideal shape, style or function into the perfect accessory/decoration for a room.

I painted the dark wood cabinetry in our bathroom white and the room looks brand new. It is also much brighter and a much nicer place to wash up.

I love to see new life brought to old wood floors with paint!
marymary says
SHINE ON ME! The last couple of times I’ve used paint were on shoes: to cover a red stripe on a pair of black rubber boots for my son’s Luke Skywalker costume, and to touch up scuffs on a pair of white sandals. Both worked great! But I’m dying to try a fancy stencil.
Jessica says
SHINE ON ME!
I’m a big fan of painting furniture (again and again and again) to give it a new look!
Corina Powell says
SHINE ON ME! My newly painted crisp white shelf’s that I picked up at an estate sale for $5.

SHINE ON ME!
I love stenciling/painting random words or phrases into walls! The great thing about it is when you wnat a new word or phrase you can just cover it over with another layer of paint!
