***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!

I love painting old picture frames to give them a totally new look!

Love, love, love this giveaway. I’m a big fan of the stencil painted floors and would love something like that on our back porch.
Jennifer T. says
“SHINE ON ME!” Pretty please! :-)
Meg S says
SHINE ON ME!
I would love to use Sunny’s stencils to stencil our sunroom floor (it desperately needs to be repainted anyways)!
Sunny says
SHINE ON ME! Seriously, I should win this Fab Freebie since my name is Sunny! There aren’t that many of us out there, and we need to stick together! Would it help if I told you my middle name is Rae? Say those two together, and then give me the freebie as consolation for having such a hippie-inspired name. ;-)
Christina C says
SHINE ON ME! Just bought my first house and the bathroom seriously needs a paint makeover. I love how a change in paint color can brighten and alter the whole mood of a room!
Amy says
Shine on me!
I have not gotten around to the painting projects I’d like to accomplish, so I need to win this prize and get started!
laura says
Shine on Me! Beautiful designs! My sister is painting her house right now (using the colors from your home), and this would be perfect to add a little pizaaz to her walls!
McKenzie says
SHINE ON ME!
I love transforming an outcast piece of furniture into an object that ties a room together and completes it perfectly.
Cindy D. says
SHINE ON ME!!

SHINE ON ME!
Leah says
Shine on me!
I love how a simple coat of white paint can freshen anything up. Kitchen cabinets, old wood panelling, molding. Just that pop of clean white makes all the other colors in the room that much cleaner.
Lindsey says
SHINE ON ME!
Last painting project was our kitchen cabinets ivory from the drab and out dated maple. Next up…the nursery!
Melissa says
Shine on me! I have 1,000 ideas for how I’m going to transform things with paint and never follow through. No longer! I’m about to redo my son’s room and will be painting his wood floor. I can’t wait!

i’m a sucker for repainting awesome craigslist finds :)
Shelly says
Shine on me….
My husband and I bought our new home a year ago, and we are now getting into really making it “ours”. I would love to have $100 to spend with Sunny!! She has so many WONDERFUL ideas!
Laura says
SHINE ON ME!!
I recently stenciled some canvas drop cloths to make some custom curtains for my living room!
Brandi says
SHINE ON ME!!!!
I just finished a dresser that I purchased super cheap on craigslist…. Since I live in an apartment, this is the best way for me to use paint.
Marie says
SHINE ON ME!
I have really been into transforming picture frames lately with a dash of paint. I love the uniform look of a bunch of frames all together, in different shapes, but all the same color. I’m really getting into all the different uses of paint colors too!
Alex says
Shine On Me!!!
Love all these ideas! My favorite project is the one we are about to do – painting my 4 year old’s “big girl room” in our first home. <3
Meredith says
SHINE ON ME! My husband and I just finished painting a horrible looking desk from the 70s. We painted it avocado green and fresh white!
Mandee says
SHINE ON ME!
I’ve never attempted it myself, but I love furniture makeovers using just a bit of elbow grease and new paint!
amy says
SHINE ON ME!
I love color. Our house has no white walls, literally every color of the rainbow… including pink.
Michelle says
SHINE ON ME!
I love that a fresh coat of paint can change an old, drab piece of furniture into the focal point of a room!
Caitlin says
SHINE ON ME!
I transformed an old desk from my childhood that was covered in marker and nail polish with a bit of elbow grease and bright white paint :)
Melanie says
SHINE ON ME!
Would love to win this as I am about to begin transforming our guestroom into a playroom/guestroom combo.
Mary Clark says
SHINE ON ME! I once painted a living room wall red – it was kinda radical for me. Now I am longing for an orange wall – really radical for me. Love you youngsters!
alissa says
Shine on Me!
I love paint – it changes everything. A fresh coat of paint on walls transforms a room, a coat of paint on a piece of ugly furniture transforms it into something beautiful. I love painting secondhand pieces of furniture and turning them into something great!
Kristen says
SHINE ON ME!
I love the way a good coat of paint can transform a piece of furniture. I especially like when the natural wood is left exposed on certain areas of piece to add a little texture.
Terrie Balthaser says
Shine on Me!!
We bought a house on the lake and it’s just waiting for some new finishes.
katrina louise says
SHINE ON ME!
My mom and I painted every room in their house to have some fun with our design. Now it’s my husband’s turn to paint with me!
Angela N says
SHINE ON ME!!
I love to paint and the gallery page is great inspiration! I’ve been looking for something unique for my 2 yr olds bedroom. We just moved recently and her previous room was done in a pink/green harlequin pattern. She has a plain (solid) room right now. I think I may have found my inspiration!
Marsha says
SHINE ON ME!
Mary says
Shine on Me!!
I’ve been using paint and stencils to hide metal utility boxes in my daughter’s apartment at Penn State!!! Wooo hoo!!
R Chan says
SHINE ON ME!
I love everything about paint. Especially painting murals in rooms.
Sarah says
SHINE ON ME! =)
Michelle says
Shine on me!
Kelly says
SHINE ON ME!
After several attempts to get the shade EXACTLY right, our bedroom has wonderful cool mint green walls. Everything else is black and white, except for 2 great green throw pillows and a handmade ceramic bowl on the dresser. My little cousin said the room looked like mint chocolate chip ice cream!
Rachel says
Shine on me!
My favorite use of paint is at my mother’s house, where we painted the bathroom a deep purpley raspberry (it’s a house full of girls). The wall color looks amazing paired with the bold black and white checkered floor, white pedestal sink, and clawfoot tub!
Courtney says
SHINE ON ME!
In my first apartment I lived in a tiny dingy room but a coat of fresh paint made it seem good as new!
Meghan says
SHINE ON ME!
I love how with a little paint I can transform (almost) anything quickly and cheaply – rooms, furniture, floors – it’s the perfect DIY on a budget.
Heather says
SHINE ON ME!”
Ruth says
Shine on me!
I’ve not yet done anything too adventurous – but I can’t wait to do that with this giveaway :-)
stacia says
Shine on me
Just bought our first house and went a little color crazy with the first two rooms we painted. Dark brown for the bedroom (like sleeping in a brownie) and bright tangerine in the bathroom. We’re not afraid to go bold.
Maggie says
SHINE ON ME! Cleaning up some old furniture with some fresh paint :0)
Michelle says
SHINE ON ME!
My favorite thing is to find a well loved piece, furniture or otherwise, and refresh it with a coat of paint!
Terri says
SHINE ON ME!! I love transforming a piece of furniture with paint. I am currently working on my grandmother’s old dresser…
