UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.
The winners will be contacted shortly!
It’s Labor Day weekend — and for Dave and me, that almost always means some sort of painting project. The Home Depot always has a great rebate on Behr paint {my favorite paint} so we usually stock up on plain white paint and then have it tinted later as we decide on color choices.
This year, we’re painting our kitchen walls and ceiling, a bunch of trim, and our front entryway.
I just LOVE how a fresh coat of paint totally transforms a room (or a piece of furniture) for less than $30! What an inexpensive, and relatively simple project, especially for those of us who enjoy painting.
And even if you don’t love painting, but you do it anyway because you’re too cheap to pay a professional, I’ve got a fun painting tool that will make your life just a little easier…
I first heard about The Paint Brush Cover a few months ago, and I’ve had ample opportunities to test it out over the course of our kitchen renovations this summer.
These covers are a really simple concept, but boy do they save your brushes — which means they save you time and money by protecting your brushes from drying out. And they work WAY better than plastic wrap {ahem… speaking from first-hand experience!}
So if you’re planning any painting projects, or if you’d just like to protect and properly store your current brushes, you just might want to give The Paint Brush Cover a try!
You can watch the video about how it works; you can order The Paint Brush Cover directly from their website {which is also full of helpful tips}; and you can also enter to win one of 25 that I’m giving away this weekend!

We have GOT to do something about my son’s bathroom – – fresh paint, new accessories and towel racks, etc.
Ayisha says
I want to finish my daughter’s room. We have been in our home almost two years, and I still haven’t finished her room! Ugh! Which includes painting an accent wall.
Allison says
I plan to refinish a dresser soon and paint it grey.

We’ve been in our house 16 years now, and we’ve never repainted our master bedroom. That’s our next project!
Mel says
We are closing on a new home in two weeks. The house is beautiful in many ways, but it needs a lot of work. We are going to start with the main level floors and walls: pull carpet, lay hard wood, paint walls, trim and clean up the fireplace.

We need new storm windows before the winter. Not the most exciting project.
Holly Fieger says
This is a great idea. I am right in the middle of painting my son’s room and it has been a nightmare! This would be such a helpful tool to have, especially since I will be working on my 4th coat of paint this weekend!
Kelly says
My next project is painting our bathroom. I brought the paint now I just have to get the motivation to do it.

We’re painting the ceiling of our sunroom this weekend, then hopefully getting some drywall up in there in the next couple of weeks. Then I’ll be painting the walls, and trim when we get that in! This has been a project in the works for way too long!! Maybe we’ll finally get it done!
Jennifer Madigan says
I would like to paint the front door this fall. I would LOVE this as I’m sure I will need more than one coat. 🙂

Becky S says
We just bought a house and 29 gallons of paint. I have a lot of painting in my future, but I think we’re going to start with our 8yr old’s room.
Jessica says
Our living room–the first room we painted when we moved in, and it’s in need of a serious makeover!
Diana says
Hmmm, probably some yard work. It doesn’t involve paint, but there is always a project in the future that involves paint!
susie says
we need to touch up every thing!
Andrea says
I have never hear of these and they look AWESOME!!! I have several painting projects ahead of me as well – I’d love to give these a try! Thanks so much for your offer and for your daily inspiration.
Tracy says
Following you on facebook too, enjoy reading your posts. Thanks!
Tracy says
My husband and I are tackling our entry way hallway that leads directly upstairs. The problem is that before we can paint it we must remove two layers of wallpaper that have been on for who knows how long! The house is from the 1900s so as you an imagine we have our work cut out for us. We have started and it seems like a never ending process that is leaving the drywall in ruins. Here I thought that this might be a cheap quicker process in updating a portion of the home with slapping on some fresh paint. I was wrong! =0)
Jess says
We’re tackling our “man cave” complete with the horrible fake wood paneled walls. We are going to use a lot of paint!! 🙂
Vicky says
We’ll be painting our kitchen, dining room, and living room once I decide on the color.

I’m planning on doing some painting this fall to spruce up the kitchen. LOTS of painting with lots of trim and cutting in. I’d LOVE to have one of these covers since i see the project taking a couple days to complete.
Sarah says
