As you may know, I recently painted my entire upstairs white. After years of swearing I would never have white walls, I decided it would give me more freedom to change out pillows and accessories if the walls were white. Plus it really brightened up our house! The one thing that hadn't been painted, was our hallway pantry. It was still an almond color and next to the bright white, it looked very tan.
The BEFORE:

After taking the door off and taking out the drawers (and all the hardware), I sanded everything, inside and out. I vacuumed up the dust and wiped it down with a wet rag.

Then I primed it and painted it the same white as the rest of the house. If you have ever tried to hand paint closets or cabinets on the inside, you know it is a giant pain. Add in beadboard and you may as well poke yourself in the eye. The Finish Max saved the day and made it go by SO FAST.

And here she is all white and new! It is no longer and eye sore with it's mismatched paint. I can't wait to show you the inside later this week!!!

The first (of many) projects I want to tackle this Spring is paining my exterior doors - both the outside and inside. I am planning on a more traditional cranberry red for the outside, and something with more of a pop for the inside - maybe turquoise!

Kitchen cabinets! I have been putting it off for far too long.
Our first project this spring is to repaint out birch dining room table to a glossy navy blue. We are in need of something different and has a wow factor.
So many things need to be done.... I think the piece of wood just under our roof should be first.

Our first painting project are some cabinets we are redoing this spring!
I have so many projects on my "to do list", having the Finish Max would give me just the push I need to get going on those projects!
We've been painting like fools since we updated one bathroom and gutted/rebuilt the other bath. Next on the list is my office, the guest bedroom and the living area. Basically the entire house. Gah. Not my favorite!!
If I won the Finish Max I would finally get started painting all the old kitchen chairs that I have been collecting. The thought of painting them by hand is daunting but i know I could do it with this sprayer! I hope you pick me.
I want to paint our closet doors. They are old and need a fresh pick me up and update. After reading this post I'm thinking about the inside of the linen closet next ... So many places I can paint!!
This is a giveaway I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE!!
I have a stack of chairs under tarps in my back yard that are just DYING for a makeover. A HomeRight Finish Max would make my job so much more pleasant.
I have tons of old vintage furniture that I need to get out of storage and bring back their life with a nice coat of paint.
I painted a hallway of doors white (they were that ugly fake honey oak) but now I need to finish the rest of the upstairs doors! This would be perfect!
I need to paint my son's bedroom door. The previous owners painted it green...and probably only did one coat. It looks so bad!
Have some dining room chairs I want to repaint. Would be so much easier with the Finish Max.
We're getting ready to move and the first thing I'll be painting in our new old house is the cabinets! This would be so awesome to have!!
I'm painting doors. I'd love to try this amazing tool.
My bedroom/office/craft room. It has not been painted in over 10 years and is in desperate need of new paint. Thank you for this giveaway.

I have a closet like this in my 1926 Cape Cod. I've yet to do anything with the inside but I have removed the paint from the outside of the drawers and doors. Spraying looks a heck of a lot easier than using a brush.
I have already completed my first painting project this year. It was an old toy box that we repurposed into a bench for our front porch. We finished it up a couple weeks ago and really love it. Next on my list is a small table, but I need to strip the old paint off it first. I tried sanding it off, but it has too much detail. Like your beadboard, I feel like poking my eye out! Lol.
I have a chair waiting for a coat of fresh white paint and new fabric on the seat!
I would love to repaint my old bedroom furniture and give it a fresh look!
I love this! Ever since I watched you paint with this at Pinner's conference I've been seriously coveting one! It looks so easy and the results are amazing. Not gonna lie, my first project would be my kitchen. Go big or go home, right?
Oh Stacy, the pantry looks very clean and serene. :) Way to go! I bet the Finish Max would make short work of wicker items! And what a great, smooth, even finish. SWEET! I know whoever wins will be thrilled. Can't wait to see the inside of your pantry.
I need to paint the doors in my home white and thus would be a great time saver!!
My first painting project will be to repaint my son's bedroom. Now that he's older, he has tastes that differ than that of mine when he was a baby--it's been 11 years since we've touched the walls in there! ?
I want to paint the backyard fence
I'm so glad I saw this! We want to paint almost every wall in our house this spring along with my son's loft bed and the bathroom cabinets. I have been looking for a sprayer to help with all of this!

My entire interior we purchased our home a few years ago and are still in the process of getting everything to our liking, after several projects, (remodeling the kitchen) we will have to paint it all again! I am excited about it, it's a lot of fun picking colors and seeing the results after.
My first painting project is to try & paint a room that was our son's bedroom & make it more of an office/craft space. (More crafts than office) I used to work from home, as did the hubs, but now he's always in an office & I'm disabled, so it'd be great to have an easier way to paint things in that room. My teenage son isn't completely moved out yet, but we're close (I hope!). Thanks!
I have some random outdoor furniture I'd love to paint in shades of orange and blue.
I want to paint my fence.

We're planning on painting a nursery for our first little one who's due in July.
I have a long list of painting projects in my own home, but my parents are in desperate need of a kitchen cabinet makeover. We're off to pick out paint chips this afternoon. I've been a bit overwhelmed and excited at the same time. I can't wait to see their reaction to the finished project. This paint sprayer would be so helpful to complete it quickly and provide professional results!

My daughter's room is on my list.
