I am so so pleased with how my small DIY project turned out thanks to Sherwin-Williams!
A few days ago I shared about how I headed to my local Sherwin-Williams to narrow down a paint color and decide which primer would work best on the project. Tom did a great job in helping me decide on Extreme Bond Primer and Duration Home® for the final color.
Sherwin-Williams gave me great advice on sanding the interior of the cabinet, then adding a light coat of primer. Dry according to paint times, then 2 coats of Duration paint. Since this was a summer project, I made sure to apply paint to the bookcase early in the morning before it got hot outside.
It was such a fun project to do and it was quick to makeover. And the impact of adding a bold yellow to the interior of the cabinet makes such a difference to the bookcase! Scroll down to see more pictures of how the DIY yellow bookcase turned out, and enter to win a $200 Sherwin-Williams paint giveaway!
I am so happy with how the paint SW Cheerful looks with our bedroom’s gray walls (painted SW Dovetail Gray). Our master bedroom is one step closer to being finished with the freshly painted bookcase in place!

I LOVE my Sherwin-Williams store. It is about a 30 minute drive in a town called Messina. I would love to use some paint to transform our guest room, or my kitchen, or the kids rooms, or my bedroom!
My closet store is #2925 (Alpharetta, GA) and I’m in love with their cashmere paint. It is my go to paint for interior rooms – such a glorious smooth finish. I love my SW store so much that they know me by name there. Impressive, hmm?
With the $200 gc, I would use it to help buy the paint for the main areas of the house. Our family room and foyer are two stories, so we have put off painting them so far…but boy do they need it!
Love how the bookshelf turned out – and love that you only did the interior!
My closest store is just down the road in Huntersville 🙂 I’ve been there numerous times. Their staff was awesome when I needed help with selecting the right brushes and roller for painting my kitchen cabinets. I know that my cabinets have held up so well because of the quality of their paint.
My favorite color there is Sea Salt. It’s just such a calming color for me. We move in almost a week and the day we close my husband and I will painting late into the night so we can move our furniture in the next day. Of course, Sea Salt will be one of the colors 🙂 The $200 would be super awesome to help make my vision come true!
congrats on the new house!!
Our closest store is in Huntington Beach. I’ve actually never been because there are closer home improvement stores, so I’d love to go! I’d probably paint a dresser we have, or maybe my daughter’s fence post bed!
The yellow looks great! Even held up in all of that humidity! ; )
right? That humidity was killer! hope you get the chance to visit one soon!
I love Sherwin Williams paint! My store is just 10 minutes away in Fort Atkinson. We are renovating right now and I can’t wait to paint the kitchen cabinets in "Naval". Such a beautiful color.
cabinets painted Naval would be BEAUTIFUL!
I love Sherwin Williams store in Canton, Michigan. I am currently converting an old buffet into built ins for around my fireplace! I would love some primer and oil based paint to paint it and the bookcases that will go above them! My house is country French, so I would love a creamy white paint, such as arcade white!
Love how you are repurposing an old buffet!
The nearest Sherwin Williams to me is 5 minutes away! I would use the extreme bond primer on a slick wood chair I want to paint. I would paint it all grey and then paint leopard print on it for my craft room!!
My closest store is in Mint Hill, NC. I dream of painting our living room which has ugly 1970s wood paneling on the walls! It’s such a dark sad room that we only use it for storage at the moment. A fresh coat of paint (or two or three!) would do wonders for that room!
I’d love to see your wood paneling painted! I bet it would look a bit like shiplap.
I was just in the Norfolk, VA Sherwin Williams yesterday pulling out paint colors for my 1939 Cape Cod renovations that begin in October. My local store is in Easton, MD, but I want to be ready to paint on day 1. Love this bright sunny yellow in the bookcase, I may need to try that!
the closest store to me is 18 miles in San Marcos, TX!
No need to look it up… I know exactly where it is. The closest store is in Walpole, MA…. I’ve there before and it’s only 15min away.
Ohhhh I’m moving next month and need to repaint! My closest is Denton 7105. Awesome!
congrats on the move!
I’ve got one right down the road on East Blvd, Charlotte. And I have a piece of furniture to stain! 😉
I would love to repaint my kitchen cabinets and my front and back entrance doors. My closet is Hwy 98 in Hattiesburg, MS. We visited the earlier part of this year to do a makeover of our guest bathroom and bought paint. I love redeeming the free sample can coupons from the magazines and I always get them without hassle and with expert knowledge.
I love this paint color, I was pondering a similar one for my kid’s bed. I am now sold on the color!
Sorry, I do know how to follow directions!
My nearest store is in Irvine, CA http://www.sherwin-williams.com/store-locator/paint-store/irvine/ca/8951/#directions/from:Irvine+CA+92620/to:8951
We just moved across the street into a bigger space and we are revamping a bunch of thrift store furniture finds and possibly a few accent walls. I would like to use a similar color on my daughter’s bed.
🙂 awesome! I love bright colors in children’s bedrooms. and horray for thrift store finds!
My closest store is in Soldotna, Alaska. I want to paint the risers on my stairs.
Charlottesville #5919, baby! We bought a house in April and I have so many painting projects lined! Next up is probably going to be an emerald and gold bathroom! I’d love to do a crazy mural!
and I’d love to see the crazy mural!!
Fun! My closest is in KC! Would love to redo our den!
Our closest one is about 5 mins away at Brooks City Base, I know because we always peruse the colors after we eat Subway. Love my Sherwin-Willams store too, I’d paint my master bedroom. Was just talking to my MIL about it a few minutes ago actually
I would love to paint the inside of our house gray!
Sherwin Williams South 6th St, Klamath Falls, OR 97603. I’m thinking my bathroom needs to be any color but mustard yellow!
Fun! And I agree, mustard yellow is probably too strong for a bathroom 😉
3282 is my closest store! I desperately need to paint my kitchen and bedroom!! Your project looks amazing, that yellow! 😍
The closest one to me is the one in Forest Lake, MN. They were so helpful when I went in to get the Agreeable Gray I finally decided on for our upstairs. Love SW!
Oh my goodness do I need this! We are painting like mad at Waffle Hill Farm right now. My closest store is just up the road from my girls’ school. Love how this turned out, Julia!
Thanks Molly! And congrats on the move, hope settling in is going well!
Closest store to me is #8029. I’d use the paint to freshen up some furniture, I have a dresser I’ve been meaning to work on!
There is a Sherwin williams just down the street from me! I would paint my son’s room a fun color. His walls are white and he would love a change.
Awesome! My son wants his room painted too, beige is too boring 🙂
the closest store is 12 minutes away and I would use the paint to paint our nursery.
My closest store is about 20 minutes away. I would love to repaint our front door and steps! Thank you so much for offering such a wonderful giveaway.
