Creating With the Stars Week 3: Paint
Well, week three is over and we advanced again! Eeek – we’re officially in the finals!
Did you guess which project was ours?
That’s right – we not only advanced, we WON!
Can you believe it? Because I seriously can’t.
Maybe it’ll seem a bit more real when that $500 gift card to Home Depot lands on my doorstep and Corey and I can get cracking on that garage makeover I talked about before? It only seems appropriate, since this project was completed and photographed in the garage.
Wait, you didn’t know that?
Um, yeah.
That’s our garage. You can read all about it over on East Coast Creative today – as with last week, it’ll go up here on the blog once the contest is over for easy reference. There’s even proof in the post that the whole thing was in our garage – go check it out!
I’ll be back later today with a Sponsor Love post – be on the lookout!
What was your favorite project this week?
This was one of my favorites. I love the subtle numbers using flat and gloss paint. I’ve been meaning to tackle something with that method for quite some time now.
Feel free to check out my votes from the @nd and 3rd rounds here:

Congrats on winning this week AND making it to the final round!
Aw, thanks so much, Trisha!
Thanks Amanda for the tips! And again, great work!!! =)
Congrats!! I had no clue that was in your garage!
I definitely didn’t vote for this one because I didn’t think it was yours! I thought the world map table was yours!
Hah! Well, you were on the right track with maps! 🙂 We were definitely tricky this week…
Congratulations! If this is the start to the garage I can’t wait to see the whole makeover.
Eek! It is and we can’t wait either! Thanks to that prize money we’ll hopefully all be seeing it a bit sooner than expected… 😉
Girl, I didn’t even NOTICE the numbers on the doors; so fantastic! It looks super good 🙂
Congratulations! I voted for this one 🙂 Love the yellow. And I can’t believe that’s your garage.
Congrats on the win! (Again!) I loved your guys’ entry!!! Do you / Will you have any tips for painting the sideboard? It looks SO fabulous!
It was a pretty straightforward process – I spray primed it (with Zinsser primer – the only stuff I’ll use!) first…I’d recommend getting as good of a coat as you can! After that, I just used a small foam roller to roll my paint on in thin, even coats. If you’re doing a super saturated color like I did, you’ve gotta be patient – I think it took me 5 coats before it really looked right. Hope that helps!
Congratulations on a job well done!
Can’t believe it’s your garage! Congrats on the win!
