Happy Monday Everybody!
These shelves for my fun-room are the first thing I painted with Behr Ultra. The Husband was oh so skeptical about the coverage and the fact that the primer is in with the paint…He couldn’t believe the stained shelf was completely covered with ONE coat! About half way through the painting of this shelf my brain nearly went into overload thinking of all the things I could paint.
When we finished the shelves I grabbed the chair you see below…I painted it and well, I’ve been painting almost non-stop ever since…do ya want to redecorate on a budget? Start with paint…
The dinning room furniture...
I used 2 colors of Behr Ultra to do a white-washing technique on this old trunk…
The once-black curtain rods in our little library room re-do...
I painted tables out the waa-zoo…
All the old gold frames on our picture wall…
The entire foyer...(the banister was stained like the moldings.)
The fireplace and the fireplace screen...
The wood blinds in the den…
The TV Cabinet…
The ottoman we made from an old end-table…
The coffee table we made from a dinning room table…
All the walls, moldings, wainscoting and doors in the downstairs…
There are a couple more tables and 2 more lamps but this is getting embarrassing…
It’s safe to say I’ve been on a roll with my Behr Ultra. I’ve always loved to use paint to get a big bang for my decorating buck but even more so now that the primer is in with the paint cutting the labor in half.
The rest of the week we’ll look around the kitchen! I repainted the cabinets, walls, trim and doors and did a fun project with my pantry door…
Have a day washed in scrumptious color my friends…

Oh, I’ll kick this off. Because three gallons would be enough to cover my kitchen cupboards, right?
And… I retweeted before I even knew it would give me commenting rights! Woohoo! 🙂
Just discovered your blog…such gorgeous photos! I paint everything in my home as well and would love to win this! thanks!
Please count me in! Love me a home improvement project!
Friended on Facebook!
I would love to win. I recently bought a small can of black and a small can of white. It covers so well, and so smoothly. I love using it on furniture because it holds up to the bangs and dings of family living. thanks for the chance.

Because, clearly, I need more paint (smile). But I’ve wanted to try this brand for a while. I’m in love with Dutch Boy but I’m horrible at priming and when I do I’m so lazy…so primer and paint in one would be awesome.

I just asked to be your friend on FB. I already follow your blog. Oh, we painted 3 bedrooms this summer with this paint and the coverage was amazing. It covered over colored walls in one coat. That was awesome!!! My husband couldn’t believe it!!! I am a believer for sure. I would love to be entered to win the 3 gallons. We still have more rooms that need to be painted. Love & blessings from NC!

Thanks for the beauty.

.-= Kim B´s last blog ..Where do you get your INSPIRATION =-.
Two of my bedrooms haven’t been painted since they were built 15 years ago. I’ve been thinking about doing it and 3 gallons of Behr paint would surely get me started!!
If I win, I’ll have no excuse not to repaint my living space!
So excited for you. Doing what you love and getting well-deserved recognition. I’ll give up my chance at winning paint. Not needed quite so much in a log house.
If I win I will paint my bathroom, the last room in my home that I need to paint. :o)
Love what you’re doing in your home! It looks so peaceful and welcoming.
I’m an email subscriber. Thanks for this giveaway. I know the winner will be a happy person!
I sent you a friend request on Facebook! Also, wanted you to know, I LOVE the Behr Ultra paint too. I have a LONG hallway that was painted a bright yellow, and I mean bright BOLD yellow! I painted it with the Behr Ultra and now it’s a calming taupe color. So much better!
Could definately use that paint as I’m planning to paint the ceiling of my livingroom and hallway. I even have the color picked out already just waiting for the weather to cool a bit before starting. Thanks Behr.

I’d love to win, but choosing the colors could put me over the edge- they are all gorgeous! I’ll take that chance!
Would love to try this in my masterbath!
Could you come do my house next!? Such talent!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE what you’ve done with the new Behr Paint with Primer from Home Depot. Sounds like such an amazing product. Love all you have done. I have a few pieces I’d like to redo. And My den, stairway, hall, kitchen and dining area are in dire need of a face lift. After seeing all your posts, I know I’ll be using the Behr paint. Thanks so much for sharing. I LOVE all your before and after shots. GREAT JOB!!!

I would love to win, ready to redo my house….
omg I can’t believe that u used only 1 coat of paint on those shelves..I painted a creamy white on my daughters bookshelves, and no joke it took 3 coats and probably 4 would have been best. I also have a question, did u use a brush or a small roller ? I love painting old furniture and giving it new life with paint…I love all the projects you did…very shabby chic !! twitter follower :@nutmeg237

EEEEEeeeeeeeee! (that’s what my niece and i do when

it is so funny as i have a coffee table that has been begging me all summer to paint but with a few other things going on, i haven’t gotten to it … yet. but i keep checking in on you and picking up tips and drooling over your transformations … you truly and really have inspired me … *BIG hug*
oh! and i saw this very cute little table at a roadside sale and i thought of you instantly knowing you would have gobbled it up in a heart beat to create your magic with it … ; )

I just want to say how much I admire all the painting you do. It is so gorgeous. I’ve painted a few pieces, but have a ways to go to get as good as you. I wish beyond hope I could find a round table like you do for your living room. I’m still looking. I hope I win this giveaway. I could sure use the paint for all the projects I have lined up. God bless you.
Robin, I have followed you from the beginning of your metamorphosis to your ‘lighter’ house, and you have been nothing short of inspirational. Your testimonial to Behr Paint-Primer in One gives me no excuse to not take the plunge on my kitchen cabinets!
Thank you, Ann
I love what you’ve done with paint! Please enter me in the great Behr paint giveaway. I want my my house to be cozy like yours and I am going to start one project at a time and the paint is an easy and great way to have a lot of bang . I would love to win!
These are great projects! I love the frames on the stairs.

You did a great job and I am heading to Home Depot to get some Behr Paint with Primer today.

Well color Me happy! Leave it to BEHR to come up with perfection! Ive been searching for the perfect shade of blue…
I have several projects to do around my house so it would be nice to cut the work in half. I am about an hour and 15 minutes away from a Home Depot but it would still be worth it.
I could REALLY use this. Just had inspiration to paint our family room in the house we just moved into. It is a large room and free paint is just what I need. I love the thought of not having to prime over the “Tennessee Orange” that is currently gracing our walls.
Ohh! I can think of lots of projects to do!
I’ve been wanting to try the new paint with primer! Thanks for the giveaway!

Since you started raging on and on and showing us all your home decor goodies, I decided to try the product out myself a week ago… And you aint kidding sister! That paint in primer in one cut my time and arm pain in half. Normally I would do 2 coats primer and 2 coats paint… this time just 2 coats of the 2 n 1..
Now I am using the left over paint and doing a shabby chic redo on an end table that has been giving me the blah’s… Who knows whats next muwhaaa
.-= Simply Jeannie´s last blog ..Who Am I Who Are You Part 2 =-.
If I win, my husband will not like you! I am in love with color, but his favorites are white, and off-white! He figures they go with any painting you care to hang on the walls (see website and you will understand). I get his point, but….. blech! Thank you for the beautiful inspirations!
I sure would love to try this!
I would love to win so I can get to painting. Jackie

I would love to try this paint but I can’t decide where I’d paint yet!!!
And, I follow your blog! 🙂
Love the things you’ve painted with that good Behr paint.

Oh man, I have sooo many projects patiently waiting for a makeover. I’d love to win!
I wasn’t sure if I should comment here or on today’s post. The kitchen looks great! I can’t wait to see your cabinets. That gives me an idea for how I’d like to use three gallons if I won, I could re-paint my lower kitchen cabinets. They are black and I love them, but have recently been thinking gray would be nice. With every post I read, learning more about you, I’m sure we could be very good friends! I feel the same about red. Love it in other homes, but can’t do it in mine. Same with yellow. I have to stay on the cool side of the color wheel.

Love you post and the photos! I love the wood trim that you painted. The first thing I want to paint is my lr- it is cranberry color and it has been long enough . Paint with primer that works would be great for this job. I want to paint the kitchen as well -it is an open room so I can’t stop 🙂 Other projects are maybe my cabinets,photo frames for sure and some end tables, and our ent center. I guess I better make a list. If you lived next door I know we could have a lot of fun together. Thanks for doing what you do- it really does make my day to get your email.

hi I’m back as you said we could re enter. could use the paint. have a large old home. have a good day. rose

Another day to say how great Behr paint is….and your giveaway!
After painting my family room, I think I would paint the furniture in my daughters bedroom . It is all mis-matched right now. Her bed is pine and her dresser is early seventies “shabby shic” dirty white, with plastic trim painted gold. Not too pretty, but it works and it was free! A new coat of paint would sure make it look a lot better. I am eager to try this new paint because I HATE to prime. I love to just get in there and get it done!
.-= kallee´s last blog .. =-.
The Behr paint giveaway sounds wonderful to me!! Everything you painted looks so good ! The house looks so bright and cheerful. Your ideas are amazing.
I still cannot believe ALL the furniture and rooms you painted !!
I would love to have 3 gallons of Behr paint to finish up all my projects, you inspired me to try. I have a wooden park bench, a huge Spanish Style desk, a four drawer chest, two lamp tables and a play room that need to be painted!!
The Behr paint is so easy to use the job seems more like fun than work.
Keep inspiring me!
Ever since I started reading blogs this spring, I’ve heard about Behr paint. I would love to win this giveaway.
My my my, love MY Behr Paint With Primer!!!
Never in my life have I enjoyed a paint project,
or any project for that matter, as much as I’ve
enjoyed this latest B P W P paint project! Oh
happy day! Where’s my brush!!
Since painting the town red is probably not the answer you are looking for. I would simply finish painting my upstairs bathroom and or hallway. Did I win?
it all looks pretty great but i really love the tv cabinet! i would love to win the paint as i too, have been on a roll around here with painting and i am running out and would love to try the behr’s with primer. i am sure it saves so, so, much time. thanks and i am new here
Your house is amazing, as well as all those great projects you did! I have heard great things about this paint, so I hope I win!!
You did a great job painting!
So, so pretty! With fall coming, I have the itch to paint my kitchen, family room and hallway so I would love to win. I love behr paint!
I’m now following your blog.

I haven’t tried this paint yet, but it sounds wonderful!
I am thinking that after I paint my family room I need to paint a whole bunch of frames so I can decorate in there. There is nothing hung up at the moment and it is looking pretty bare. Oh how I would LOVE free paint!
.-= kallee´s last blog .. =-.
Everything you’ve painted looks great!
I’m making my plans for the Behr paint I’m going to win. Can’t wait!!
I loved seeing all of the fun things you painted. I too have used the Behr ultra and once I started painting I couldn’t stop. I think I am now brave enough to paint the lower wooden part of my bedroom and hallway walls with this paint! The walls are highly varnished but I think this paint would cover them! I will continue to follow your blog as I really enjoyed the one I read! I have a gardening blog which I need to write in more often!
Lissa
You’ve inspired me to paint our kitchen table and chairs! After 13 years and 3 kids, it’s looking pretty shabby.
Would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hire a painted to paint all my walls with Behr Paint. I have 30 foot ceilings in my den. I’d be afraid to attempt painting that room.
I think I put all my comments in the wrong spot – on another post. Oops!
You did a lot with all your Behr paint! And here I was uber-impressed with just the pantry doors.

Please, please, please…enter me in the paint give-a-way. I would most definitely run the paint up the street to my daughter’s to help her bring much needed life to their first home…which is definitely a fixer-upper. It would be such a blessing as most of their resources is going to the bones of the house like wiring, plumbing…you get the picture. Love your site and your willingness to share your tricks of the trade.
Hi, I love your blog, I was wondering what kind of paint finish you use for your painting projects, like flat or high gloss? Thank you.
Nadia~Thank you for hanging out with me! I use satin finish on my projects! Merry Christmas my new friend! xo
