Do you have a painting project you want to tackle now that spring is on the horizon? If you are itching to paint something, or even if you are dreading it, I'm about to make your painting experience BETTER by giving away my two favorite painting tools! Because I am an ambassador for HomeRight, I get to giveaway their amazing tools every month :)
If you have followed along on instagram or my blog then you know I decided to retexture my kitchen and dining area. I got it all done and needed to prime and paint it.
Because I was going to be using the HomeRight Finish Max (affiliate link) inside I needed to protect the floors. My favorite thing to use on non-sealed surfaces (tile, laminate, carpet) is the clear stick plastic that comes in rolls. It is meant for protecting carpet for when you have movers come or something like that. I taped the edges with painters tape and then laid down the plastic. It is like I shrink wrapped my floor! I also did the same thing on the window to protect the glass.
I had to first prime the walls. Because of the joint compound, I used a drywall primer in the HomeRight Paint Stick (affiliate link).
.
While the primer was drying on the walls I sprayed the regular primer onto the broom closet, window trim, and baseboards.
I knew the moment I sprayed the trim at my brother's house that when I repainted my house one day, I would use the Finish Max. It has the most baby bum smooth finish EVER. You can adjust the spray and I like it to come out in a fine mist.
Once everything was primed I painted everything the color "popped corn". I have enjoyed having my front room white more than I ever thought I would. So while it seems stark now, I have hope that once I get the curtains back up and start to decorate, it will be bright and cheery. The green walls were lovely but after almost 8 years I was ready to try something new. After all, it is just paint :)
And now for the giveaway! You can enter to win the PaintStick AND the Finish Max paint sprayer!
*Must be 18 years or older and a resident of the USA at the time of the contest. Giveaway will run from February 12, 2015 until February 17, 2015. The winner will be chosen via random.org and notified by email. The winner will have 48 hours to respond or a new winner will be chosen. The prize will be shipped by HomeRight.

Oh this is FABULOUS! Loving your WHITE!! My next project is our first paint project for this new house- an accent wall for my office. It's going to be dramatic. Then it's on to ceilings & baseboards. Our lovely builder painted walls, baseboards & ceilings all the same color. When we asked about getting it how it's "normally" done they said they didn't do that. Then later we see all our neighbors with how it should be. I see lots of paining in my future.
i have some book shelves and crates to paint for my crafting room!
Great combo! The dream team for painting!
Kitchen cabinets
we moved and I need to paint 7 more rooms. Love the white paint--looks great!
I need to paint the entire living area and all the bedrooms in our house! We also have a rental property that needs some updates before it goes back on the market.
The next thing I need to paint is my living room. We've had our walls this color for 8 years too and it's time for a change. I'm thinking a light grey. ;D Thanks for the giveaway!
Finishing our basement this spring and these would be great...also I like your blog, even though I'm a guy. I get some great ideas.

Bathroom.
My living room/dining room/entryway/kitchen {all connected} is longing to change it's yellowed ways. Of course removing all the popcorn ceilings would be amazing, but I don't want to give the hubs a heart attack. This would be so awesome!!

I want to paint my kitchen. I'm getting so anxious and excited to paint it but need to wait for spring time to do it.

I need to paint all the bedrooms.
I was just thinking today that I needed to paint my kitchen cabinets.
If I'm being honest... everything needs a new coat of paint!
This looks amazing! I'm helping my sister-in-law with her home and would love to be able to experience this product!
I would love this! My best friend and I just went into business thrifting, upcycling and reselling furniture and accessories and this would make it so much easier!
I need to paint 5 different rooms!!
Love your site and tips!
I would love this right now! I am working on updating my living room. I am working on my stair banister. Next painting!
The next thing I'll paint are 2 window shutters. One shutter has 50 panels, the other 24. All panels will be painted a different color. The 50 panels on one shutter I will paint every color from the Heirloom Tradition Paint line. On the other shutter each panel will be painted with 20 colors from the DIY Paint line; leaving 4 panels unpainted for the 4 new colors that have not come out yet.
It's a lot of tedious details; but the end result will be unique.
My personal projects are normally furniture and I'm buying a china cabinet on Tuesday...It would be so much easier if I had this spray gun to knock it.
Good luck everyone. :)

Six months ago I started painting my wrought iron fence in the front with a roller. After 3 hours I gave up what a hassle it was. I vowed not to paint it until I bought a Homeright sprayer.

Thanks for the opportunity!
I have always wondered if paint sprayers were worth purchasing. My husband and I are just beginning to get our home ready for sale and A fresh coat of paint is mandatory. Does it make the job easier?

Too many things to mention! 3/4 of the walls in my home are still peachy-builder-beige :)

oh wow!! that looks so clean and bright!!! nice job!! I would love to have those paint tools, as my kitchen walls AND cabinets need new paint desperately.... I haven't done it yet, because the job just seems overwhelming. buy it looks like the sprayer, and even the paint roller stick would make it SOOO much simpler!!

I make an unfortunate paint color choice in my kitchen and I really need to repaint!!!!!

I am considering repainting the entire interior of my home just to "freshen" it up a little.
I would love to paint my bedroom and dining room.
I want the paint sprayer so bad! We're looking at a master closet remodel - possibly building from scratch - and painting all that trim would be such a breeze with the sprayer. And the paint stick would have come in handy 2 weekends ago, when I painted our foyer, but I will use it on our master bathroom in a heartbeat.
the baby's nursery (btw I hate painting, I'm bad at it!) hoping something like the Finish Sprayer will magically make me good at it
I need to paint my interior doors next.
I am planning to paint my living and dining room. I have been putting it off forever.

The exterior of our house!
I'm in the middle of re-doing a room and would LOVE to have these!
I'm getting to repaint my whole house before we sell it this spring. We have thought over and over and over what a lifesaver a sprayer would be. It's probably the reason I haven't started painting--I'm holding out!!
I need to paint the guest bedroom.
Thank you for the great painting tips! What a good idea to use the clear stick plastic on your floor and windows. I bet the paint sprayer makes the whole process go faster. My husband and I are looking for a home to buy right now and I'm sure we will be putting these tips to use soon.
I need to repaint an old farm desk.
My whole house needs painting and this is the way to go.
