   My craft room (aka, the dining room) is in serious need of a serious make-over. The first step would definitely be some new paint on the walls. I’d love this book – it sounds so inspiring, motivating and fun. Thanks for the giveaway and a chance for one of us to be lucky enough to win it.

    An old dry sink.

    My whole house needs painting, but I would start with the bookcase that is in the pantry. It was stained at one time, and needs a good painting!

    Our doors are in dire need of new paint and I’d love to do something interesting with them.

    There is definitely one area which would need attention with a paint brush: the wall outside the bathroom where my hubby repaired the pipes going to the shower head…. when he did it he said we’re going to wait with re-doing the wall until we know everything is water tight and pushed a book shelf in front of it. That was 8 years ago. I think!

14. Gina Edwards on August 1, 2012 3:50 am

    The kitchen cabinets could really use some updating. And I could really use some tips and inspiration for the job! This book looks great!

    I have an unfinished book shelf that has never been painted. Always thought I would do something neat with it, but can’t quite figure out what. Maybe this would give me a nudge.

    I inherited an antique washstand from my grandmother that has so many coats of paint on it that I’m not really sure of its original color! I’d love to give it new life.
