***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!

We painted our wood paneling in our living room and now we want to move on to our kitchen (it has peachy orange laminate counter tops and orangish wood cabinets with gold hardware… yikes!) I would LOVE to paint our cabinets and possibly our counter….

I always love a wood floor painted with a checkerboard!!!

Christen says
Shine on me!!
I painted a piece of scrap linoleum (after much sanding, a coat of primer, and followed by numerous coat of polyurethane) to make a “rug” for some friends. They used it as a great alternative to a real rug because of the easy cleanup for pets!

Shine on me! Painting pine flooring in my little girl’s room white or a sage green…well, first I’d have to rip up the carpet and put down the pine flooring, but it would be so charming I think.
lauren says
shine on me!!! oh how i love a painted wood floor… not the whole house but one or two rooms is such a great surprise!
Paige Cotney says
SHINE ON ME!!
I love the stripes on the walls like in your bathroom!!
Katie Pack says
Shine on me! I appreciated using the Benjamin Moore Aura paint card book because all the colors were designed to go with each other. I didn’t have to make too many choices. Just picked colors I liked and they looked good together! I would love to win this give-away because now that we’ve painted many rooms in our new house, it’s time to jazz things up!
Carol N. says

Love painted floors, especially in a harlequin pattern!

RE: “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.” Did you mean to say that Sunny makes it a “little easier”? :)
Suzanne says
Shine on me! Love to do a stencil on the walls of my living room, once i get the nerve up!

I painted a dingy-scuffed up-stained with something in the middle wood floor in my craft room. It’d a dark brown and it’s just beautiful. I never would’ve painted a wood floor in good shape, but this was not in good shape and it was the best thing we could’ve done.
holly says
SHINE ON ME!
best part of new paint is the new mood it creates. and literally right now we are painting out ourdoor patio and its lacking…..even with a fresh coat of paint. decals or patterns are being discussed!
Stephanie says
SHINE ON ME!
I’ve painted a landscape of our home in Sonoma for my parents using acrylics as well as broken sea shells from the coast for some awesome textures!
Jennifer says
SHINE ON ME! Lately, I’m really into the idea of painting the inside of some of my built-ins a color that will really pop, something unexpected like persimmon. Still thinking it over…
Raquel says
SHINE ON ME! Lately, I’ve seen a lot of inexpensive mirrors with frames that have been spray painted (or otherwise painted) and I would love to try that in my home. It would make the piece unique and I can also tailor the colors to match my scheme.
Larissa says
“Shine on Me!”
I love painting furniture and making it new!

I want to do a stencil on our den floor!
Pamela says
Shine on me!
I was really impressed with how our dining room table turned out after I gave it a few pain-staking coats of white and polyurethane. I’m excited to see my next painting plan come to fruition – creating a green and yellow masterpiece on the glass of an old window to put on our blue walls.
Amy G. says
Shine on me!
I really like it when paint combined with stencils and texture can make a wall look like it has been papered but its not. If that makes sense :)
Chrissy says
SHINE ON ME!!
Since we’re expecting our first child in September, we’re hard at work on the finishing touches in our nursery. I like the idea (stolen from the book Feathering the Nest) of stenciling something low on the nursery walls so that a crawling baby will be drawn to the contrast in paint color.
Ashley says
SHINE ON ME!
Nick says
shine on me! I like the monochrome look – our entire bottom floor is 3 different shades of blue. It created a really cohesive look.
Kelly says
SHINE ON ME!
I absolutely love the risk I took using a Kelly Green wall color in my office! Pairs so well with all of the black and white accents!
Kjirsti says
Shine on me!
I’m determined to do a stencil on some wall somewhere! I love them!
Anna says
Shine on me! My favorite painting project was when I painted my room 3 different shades of green in 8th grade, and then again in 10th grade after we moved (the second time with crazy patterns!)
Holly says
Shine on me!
My favorite paint project at the moment is one I’m about to start… I’m painting my master bath a great purple, and then painting a gray and black zebra print only on the wall above my jacuzzi tub… I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Laura says
SHINE ON ME! I’m loving painted wall murals at the moment :)

Shine on Me! My favorite paint transformation was our wooden mantle which fit in with our stuff so much better after a coat of white glossy paint

We just purchased our first home and have painted only two rooms. Right now, we’re lucky we didn’t end up painting the ceiling! Check back later for cool painting tips – as soon as we have this whole painting thing down!

I love the way paint can completely change a piece of furniture! It makes me so proud of my generation to know that there are thousands of us out there, grabbing a discarded piece of furniture from the thrift store, roadside or dumpster and are giving it new life through some paint and TLC. Recycling is a beautiful thing.
Kai says
Shine on me!
I put foot-wide stripes in cream and pale pink on the ceiling my daughters’ room. PITA to do, but I love the way it turned out.
Katie B says
SHINE ON ME!
I love a fun painted pen/pencil holder.

Addie says
Shine on me (and my unborn)!!! This would be so helpful in designing my nursery!
As for my favorite way to use paint, my husband and I paint pottery every year for our anniversary. We have a cute little set of dishes with memories from each year.
Megan says
SHINE ON ME!
I am loving the recent trend of painting big chevron stripes in smaller spaces to really make them come alive. I CANNOT WAIT until I move into a house that I can paint. I’m so ready to try out different colors and patterns (like the stripes, duh).
Chelsea says
SHINE ON ME! I love looking at a freshly painted piece of furniture I’ve just finished :)

I need some inspiration myself, and I just love those stencils!!
