Updates + Brad/Finish Nailer GIVEAWAY

By Kate Riley February 25, 2011

I’ve finally come up for air after yesterday’s photo shoot, what a great day!  It was a fantastic experience and I snapped a lot of ‘behind the scenes’ pics.  Don’t hate me but I’m actually going to save the story until the ‘Christmas Ideas’ issue hits the stands ~ it will just make more sense when you see it in print.  Besides, who wants to see Christmas pictures right now?  Not me!!!

A big thank you to all of you who left such encouraging comments, and to the amazing BH&G team: Gayle (the stylist), King (the photographer) and Anne (the editor) who helped create some real magic around here.  I just can’t wait to see it all in print for the 2011 holiday season, you’re going to love it! 

The winners of the Kahili Creations giveaway are  #203 Megan Clark and #909 Karen Jerread ~ congratulations! 

Last weekend, we made some great progress on my boy’s room, installing some board and batten along his walls, it’s looking really fantastic.  I really love the tall white wall treatment contrasting with the intense teal blue walls, can’t wait to reveal his room when it’s finally done.

Two power tools that we used to get the job done were the Campbell Hausfeld 18 gauge 2-in-1 Brad Nailer & Stapler and the Campbell Hausfeld Angle Finish Nailer. 

 

The 2-in-1 Brad Nailer uses nails measuring 3/8” to 2” but also works with staples from ½ to 1 ½” and it only weighs 3 pounds.  I really love this nail gun and stapler!  I used it on January’s loft wall transformation and board and batten project.  I’m going to use it next week to build a shelving unit in my boy’s room and also reupholster a chair.

This is a small brad nailer that for its size packs a lot of power.  This nailer is perfect for doing small DIY projects around the house like recovering a chair seat, adding new trim or wainscoting, or smaller wood or craft projects.  This nailer/stapler is (dare I say) ‘chick friendly’ meaning there’s no need for any gal, even if you’re new to DIY, to consult a dude on how to use this nail gun.  Don’t be intimidated !!  Once you get the hang of it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

ch brad nailer compressor

Best part?  This nail gun comes with a 1 gallon compressor that plugs in and is ready to go in about two minutes.  My only criticism is that it’s loud when that tank is reloading  every five minutes or so, but the portability of this compressor makes up for the sound.  No heavy lifting required, it’s very lightweight and simple to use, you just plug it in, easy enough for even a DIY novice.  The oilless compressor also inflates bicycle and car tires, so it’s very handy around the house.  You can increase or decrease air pressure with the regulator knob.

We also used the big gun (seen above), the 2 ½” Finish Nailer (Model #CHN70600) for the baseboards and top rail, and we plugged it right in to the 1 gallon portable compressor.  This Finish Nailer has a built in stud finder and nail placement laser pointer which are handy extras.  This one weighs over 5 pounds, so it’s beefier but it packs more power and shoots bigger nails.  This finish nailer says it will work at 70 psi (pounds per square inch), but to fully drive in the nail, your psi must be set at at least 90.  No biggie, just crank up your regulator knob.  This finish nailer is better for projects like crown molding, baseboard, or building larger pieces of furniture, and another great power tool to have in your collection. 

What about you?  Could you use a new brad or finish nailer around your house to help you complete a few projects?  Know someone who’d love a cool new power tool? 

The kind folks over at Campbell Hausfeld are offering one winner their choice of the brad nailer/compressor combo OR the Finish Nailer (no compressor included). 

Winner’s choice! 

Need to do some trim work around your house or install some wainscoting?  Want to recover some chair seats or make an upholstered headboard?  Choose the brad nailer!   If you want to install some crown molding, add some built in bookshelves, or even build some larger furniture, then pick the the 2 ½” Finish Nailer!  

Eligibility to win either the brad nailer/compressor combo or the 2 ½” Finish Nailer:

1) Answer this question:  What DIY project around your house would you complete with a brad or finish nailer?  Simply leave a comment.

2) For additional chances to win, link to this giveaway on Facebook, or tweet about this giveaway on Twitter, then leave another comment telling where you mentioned it (FB and/or Twitter).

  1. Yes, please! I’m dying to put up crown moulding in my great room. It’s so boxy without it. Of course my husband insists I try it out in the powder room first, so crown moulding and chair rail (maybe wainscoting?) in the powder room! The thought of doing it *without* a nailer is terrifying.

  2. Wainsotting my stairwell and second story landing and gameroom! The walls are high and BORING!!! This would make it look BEAUTIFUL!

  3. Seriously? It would get a TON of work around this place! Crown molding, Ana White projects, etc. It would have come in very handy for the new headboard we made this week – I think even you’d be proud! You should pop over and check out the pictures if you have a free minute! :)

  4. OMG I need this in my life. My fingers are cut, my ego is bruised and I’m only halfway done my nail head trim on my headboard. (Which is just how my husband felt when he tried to do trim work without a power saw or nail gun) Thanks for the great giveaway

  5. I’d love that brad/nailer! And to be honest, ever since I saw your idea of board and batten, that’s the project I want it for. Also, I want to put in some wainscoting in my small bathroom, and and and – there’s no telling. I’ve always got a project going and this is on my wish list already. Thanks for the giveaway. Robin

  6. WOW I wanna put up crown molding maybe do board and batten, I am sure I could find something to use this for! AWESOME giveaway!!

  7. My husband and I have been wanting one of these! We would be able to finally get the trim put up in our bathroom and refinish the cute bench my mom bought me at a yard sale last summer!!! Oh yes, we would be productive!!

  8. We’re looking at a new addition onto our house so that would be very helpful for the many miles of trim to put up. Thanks for the chance to win!

  9. I’d love to try a board and batten project myself – thanks for your helpful tutorial!

  10. So I just found out about a really cool upholstery class in my area, and I would love to learn how to re-do some chairs, but I don’t have the necessary equipment. This would be great!

  11. Crown moulding for sure in my living room. Then on to a bed for my bedroom. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

  12. We are having hardwood floors installed and then we will be replacing all the baseboards and trim in the house, a nail gun would be very handy.

  13. Crown molding! Would love to have this to try some simple builds- well, not simple to me, but you know what I mean!

  14. My husband and I are planning on putting up crown molding this summer throughout our house! I’ve always felt that a room isn’t complete without it. :)

  15. my first project would be to finish the 9 chairs I have. yep 9, six dining room chairs, two office chairs and one bedroom chair. i’m crazy. lol

  16. We’re installing horizontal planks in our hallway this year, and a brad nailer would be so handy!
    Great giveaway~thanks for the chance to win!

  17. A tool like this would be a dream! My husband and I are DIYer’s who have done many of our projects the “old-fashioned” way when it comes to nailing. We pre-drill the holes and then nail – way too time consuming. We have been putting off creating a coffered ceiling in our dining room until we have the right tools. Of course there is also the matter of the garden shed we would like to build – another project which would be a whole lot easier with a nail gun! I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed on this one.

  18. Oh WOW – I’m in the process of building an entertainment center. This would make the building go so so so much faster! :)

  19. The first thing my husband and I would do with it is to complete a handrail and staircase we are rebuilding. :)

  20. Would LOVE to win this. I would like to install crown moulding in my dining room, as well as wainscoting. We have lived in this home for 4 years now and I’m wanting to give it some personality. Lots of possibilities with a tool like this!!

  21. We’re gutting and renovating our 1970’s bathroom in our circa 1800 house starting next week. Lots of wide beadboard on the walls (horizontally), cabinets made from old floor boards, wide crown molding, and antique faucet handles used as hooks. Could use a new nailer to put up ALL THAT WOOD!

  22. I would choose the brad nailer and I’d attempt to make an upholstered headboard!! I’ve wanted to tackle it for a long time, and this’ll give me just the push I need :)

  23. awesome giveaway – I’d try out a board/baten project or wainscoating around my kitchen island that could use some TLC. Or extra shelving in my laundry room….endless possibilites!

  24. I will be placing crown molding in a few areas before hosting my brother’s wedding in my backyard this summer.

  25. OH PLEEZE OH PLEEZE!!

    First, all the baseboards need to be nailed in. That’s right, I bought the house with unnailed baseboards. Then, they need shoe molding. Then I have stuff I want to build – and I need to repair a fence. This would be a GODSEND!!!

  26. totally hitting up the guest room if we win this bad boy! the walls are super blank and need some texture. thinking of doing we watched antonio do with multi colors wood.

  28. we move into our new home in April and would love to do some paneling in our dining room and hallway!! what an amazing giveaway!

  29. I would love to redo the cushions on my dining room chairs and this tool would be my dream to own! I need more power tools in my life!

  30. I would love to build built in cabinets in my spare bedroom. I want to put a bed in front of the windows then cabinets on each side, we live in a condo with very limited storage! And we have two bikes, so it would be great to have a place to store them!

  31. Dying to replace all the cheap ugly PLASTIC faux wood look trim in this ENTIRE townhouse! Thank goodness It’s a single level!!!

  32. I am in desperate need of some chair rail and crown molding! This would come in so handy for that!

  33. I would use this to do my molding and for crafting with molding. And to build my own cabinets to hide my crafting supplies….and I wouldnt have to purchase one for my DH…lol Thanks!!

  34. We just moved into a house that has a fireplace in the middle of a big open wall and I would love to build some built ins for around the fireplace (that we can take with us because we are moving so semi built ins i guess!)

    So this would help in that quest!

  35. i built an oak wall all around my room and around the mantle with a borrowed nail gun . i ripped the carpet off the stairs and put
    brown packing paper over each step with blue tape . my husband haf back surgery so he is unableto lift on the heavy compressors. i could also put the trim up that has been on my dining room floor. i am just no able to lift on the heavy compressors since i injured my back from reaching for a tortilla maker and have arthritis there. i love love doing trimwork and will find a way to still be able to
    continue the projects my husband and i started before his surgery. i would also use the gun to build closets and a pantry back . i am currently using underneath the table as a pantry and the hsll floor for closets. i would also love to have a linen closet . the bathroom floor and bed are our linen closets .

  39. Oooh!!! I am dying to make an upholstered headboard for my baby girl’s big girl bed… tear! I hate that she’s almost old enough for a big girl bed but really excited about a fun DIY project!!

  40. I have taken down all of the upside down crown molding that the previous owners pieced together in the bedroom of my new house. So I would like to put some new up using only 4 pieces and right side up.

  41. I would love, love, LOVE to recover some old seat cushions on my dining room chairs. This giveaway is great!

  42. Oh! Oh! We JUST bought a house and need to rip out all the lead painted trim….everywhere! We TOTALLY need the Big Gun! 2.5 Finish Nailer….we’ve actually been trying to find a good one so I’ll have to check this out. Replacing all the window molding, sills, baseboard and DOORS is going to take a lot of nails! :) pinups dot sew at gmail dot com

  43. I would use it to put decorative moulding on the washer/dryer pedestal for my laundry room and crown moulding in my bedroom.

  44. This would help my Hubby with the door I want to put in where there is not door! He would love it and I would too! Happy!! Thanks, Amy

  45. I have so many projects, but the first to get done is adding new wood shelves to my linen closet.

  46. Wow, I would love the brad nailer/compresser combo and use it to recover chairs and do some reupholstering. Looks great. Thank you for hosting such a great giveaway.

    Have a God Filled Day

  47. Ive been dying to do some board and batten since you posted about helping your friend and now i see you are at it again in your boys room…..ahh i so want some. I would definitely use it for board and batten!

    ~Cami

  48. I’ve been itching to put up some board and batten! The finish nailer would be perfect!! Thanks for the chance!

  49. I would use this on my “new” thrifted dining room chairs we just bought. They’re covered in icky old fabric so need a new life, and I don’t own a stapler yet! Plus owning a nail gun would mean my husband would let me tackle more difficult DIY projects hehe.

  50. Awesome give-away! That little nail gun/stapler is awesome. If I don’t win, I may have to buy it for myself….can we call it a late Christmas present maybe? :)

  51. Hi, I am starting my own store and I really could use one (have from from I think 1882). I would most likely use it every other day on all sorts of projects.

  52. I would totally need a nail gun to recover ALL of our textured walls AND ceilings with board & batten and wainscotting. Maybe a little beadboard too! We have AWFUL textured walls in a 1950’s ranch and can’t wait to get rid of them!

  53. I would use it to put new base boards in! Our puppy used our original base boards as a stationary bone…

  54. Oooo… LOVE IT!! We would use the Nail Gun to finish our basement. We have the wood sitting in the basement but no tools to do the job. I think this awesome Nail Gun would help us out a whole lot. “Fingers Crossed”

  55. What an absolutely fantastic giveaway! I would love to have a brad nailer/compressor to help me with some trim I want to put up in my dining room and living room. I also have a couple of chairs that could use new fabric on the seats. Thanks for the chance to win!

  56. I helped build our logcabin 12 yeas ago. We ran out of money and have yet to have someone with powertools complete all of our trim work. I d be able to complete my dream home!!!! (if only I could win) thank you

  57. WOW! I could’ve used this a few weeks ago when we did our board and batten in our master. We borrowed my father-in-law’s. But I now want to add wainscoting to the kitchen, and molding to the half-bath. I could really use this!!!! Yay!

  58. i would put board and batten in my mudroom and build some shelves for our winter boots and my husband’s big shoes! These don’t fit in our shoe cubbies and just pile up. Drives me crazy!!

  59. I would love to use this to finish a board and batten project as well as install new trim in our bedrooms.

  60. We live in a house built in 1850 and almost all molding/frames aroudn windows are OLD – we would love to replace with new modern ones!

  61. I’d take down my current metal coat rack in the entry and replace it with board and batten and chic coat hooks. =)

  62. I would use it to do some furniture projects I have been dying to try (bookcases anyone??) I have so many things I would use it for, I hope I win!

  63. To be honest, I don’t have a project in mind since we just sold our house and will be renting for a few months until we buy another. But I would love to add some crown molding and wainscotting to our future house!

  64. I would love to win this! I’d use it make some framed subway art (cheap) and create a mantle/molding wall around my pellet stove.

  65. We’re building a guest house so you name it and we could use it for that. Cabinets, base molding, casing, etc, etc, etc.

  66. I have never been so excited about a giveaway on a blog! I think a better question is what would I not do around the house with this brad nailer? But I think that the first thing I would do is reupholster my dining room chairs.

  67. I would love either tool so I could make a tufted headboard and I would love to also work on reupholstering a chair or two.

  68. Ooooh! I have so many projects I’m dreaming of starting! I would definitely use this to build some planter boxes this spring, along with a wooden fence for our berry garden- to keep our dogs out!

  69. I would love this to help install the crown molding! We have been lugging our big compressor into the house but I know I am not going to be able to get it up the stairs. This would be great!

  70. oh man! i have so many things that come to mind! i would LOVE to do the board and batten! also chair recovering and some shelves that i have been working on….oh please just choose me! ;)

  71. crown molding for my house…also looking to update my kitchen island with bead boarding…have dreams of putting in some old school 6″ base boards in my living room…have numerous chairs i’d like to recover…the list can continue!!

  72. We need to replace our moulding stat! Plus, I ripped out all the baseboards in the bathroom in a demoing fit a couple months back and I think my husband really wants me to put it back up :)

  73. Only one project???? Putting upmy new baseboards would be my first one. This would make it go so much faster.

  74. OMG!!!! There is so much I want to do. I just bought my first house and I am ready to make it my own. I think the first project on my list is making a fabric covered padded headboard. I have my eyes on this gorgeous black and white damask fabric!!!!!! This tool would be soooooooooooo helpful!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

  75. The brad nailer/compressor combo would be perfect – i have three chairs to reupholster! Also coming up with other ideas too. Thanks for the opportunity!

  76. OH my where to start! Board and Batten for the kids room, new crown moulding for the LR, I really could go on and on! Thank you for sponsoring this giveaway!

  77. I have been waiting to do some beadboard in my powder room and wainscoting in my dining room. We also are replacing the moulding in our master bath and putting cove quarter round in our basement. I would be thrilled to win one of these puppies!! Please pick me!

  78. I would love that brad nailer! My husband and I are expecting our first child at the end of March, AND we are moving into a new house at the same time. Probably not the best idea, huh? I am obsessed with putting wainscoting in the nursery after reading your DIY and that tool would just be great to get our son’s nursery up in record time.

  79. Ooo! I have some chairs that are begging to be recovered and I’ve been dreaming of creating an upholstered headboard for ages!! I’m also expecting my first child and have lots of diy ideas for the nursery… What a great giveaway!

  80. I would use it to add trip to my upper kitchen cabinets, which are currently Trimless and super ugly! It would be a dream cone true to actually have my own!

  81. I’d get the brad nailer/compressor combo to tackle my sofa reupholstery projects! I have two that are partially done and this would help me finish them fast!

  82. I’d love to finish laying floor in the attic. We’ve been nailing by hand so it’s slow going. Second project would be reupholstering some stools I got recently. :)

  83. i know exactly what i would do with either of these tools: board & batten in my dining room! i can just picture the simple iron chandelier, the robins egg blue paint above the bright white trim!

  84. We need to finish the trim around our new front door and also around several interior doors. Id love to not do them by hand/hammer.

  85. I would love to use this to build some book cases and recover the ottoman stool in our family room we affectionately call Frankenstein.

  86. The possibilities are endless! I would use it to reupholster a chair, make some big frames, add trim to some shelving, and fix a wooden chair to start. Thanks for the chance.

  87. Due to many paint mishaps, the brad nailer would be awesome to help replace a lot of our baseboards.

  88. I would finally get the trim back up after installing my hardwood floor and add crown molding.

  89. I really really REALLY want to put up molding in our boring builder-grade house. Especially the dining room…then I just need a table and chairs :)

  90. Oh…..how about everything!! Seriously! We just moved in and I’m dying to get going on fixing it all up! Although I am soooo anxious about it! Somehow the “Martha gene” just passed me by but you make it look almost easy! Thanks!

  91. How exciting! We are looking to put some crown moulding up in our bedroom and this would be incredible to have! Thanks for the chance!

  92. I have wanted one of these for a while!! I would add wainscoting to my dining and living rooms.

  93. the finish nailer would be perfect because I could replace the ugly baseboards in my living room!

  94. I’d do board and batton all over my house, plus a whole slew of other projects. Thanks for the giveaway.

  95. We’d use it for a few projects we already have started, like upholstering wing back chairs and building a cabinet.

  96. I live in a log home as designed by my husband and 2 boys. It has a basement that we have rented out to college girls for 15 years. Now we are re-claiming it as ours and I am going to convert it to my little “cottage” place. I would use the handy nail gun to install board and batten to the walls in the living area, kitchen, bath and bedroom and to recover our living room furniture. So I want to be able to do this project without my husband having to give of his time to this, another project!

    I shared to Facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=662497593 & Twitter http://twitter.com/?status=Updates%20%2B%20Brad%2FFinish%20Nailer%20GIVEAWAY%20http%3A%2F%2Fj.mp%2FdRUdii%20via%20%40AddToAny.

  97. My mantel is in desperate need of a face lift. I would love to make it larger with some great molding and that handy dandy tool would get the job done for sure! I would love to add a finish nailer to my tool closet! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! :)
    Gina

  98. Oh how I have been wanting a nailer! So many projects…where to start. My first island….beadboard in half bath….door headboard….and so much more! Thanks for the giveaway!!!

  99. Oh, I want to build a media unit for my livingroom. This would SO get the job done!! (PS. LOVE your blog!)

  100. Oh, so many things I would love to use it for. I want to make a new reupholstered headboard and some board and batten in my master. Pretty, pretty please random number choose me!

  101. I’m planning to add some extra trim and crown molding to my recently painted white kitchen cabinets. I’ve been looking at different nail guns but really haven’t wanted to buy a huge compressor. Good to know there are other options!

  102. Wow! talk about perfect timing! I was supposed to get a finish nailer for Christmas. Instead I got a new grandson! ( I spent all my Christmas money on my new baby boy) The finish nailer is what I need to finish putting up the crown molding in my just redone bathroom. Thanks so much for the chance to win this great tool!

  103. Oh, man, there are so many projects I would tackle with that brad nailer.

    New trim in our living room, an upholstered headboard, and maybe I’d actually finish recovering the two chairs I have in the garage!

  104. I would finish the trim in my kitchen and probably start a board and batten project!! :)

    Thank you for the AWESOME giveaway!

  105. WOW! How lovely! I would use it to finish some crown and baseboards. Also some upholstery projects! Thanks so much!

  106. I would love this to start building new bookshelves, and my daughters have been after me to build them a play house.
    Love your ideas!

  107. Oh my goodness! I would tackle the baseboards in our game room! Somehow when we got the floor put in they forgot our game room!

  108. I am closing on my first house March 16th….I can’t even begin to tell you all the things I would use either one of these tools for. With everything going towards buying the house there is an unlimited amount of DIY projects that will need to be done!

  109. OH MY GOODNESS!! This is exactly what I need!! I am dying to put wainscotting in my dining room, but the thought of hammer and nails is a little intimitdating. I would love the brad nailer and compressor!! Thanks so much for the opportunity!!

  110. My fiance and I are going to add 2 bedrooms and a bathroom to the attic of my house so we have room for him to move in. I would guess there are 1,000 projects that we could use the Finish Nailer to complete!

  111. If we won this, the first thing we’d do is add crown moulding to our naked-looking living room.

  112. What a wonderful giveaway — I’ve been begging my husband for one for awhile! Board and Batten, Trim — what doesn’t need a update? :)

  113. I would love to install some crown molding but since that is unlikely I would use this tool for some reupholstering projects

  114. My oldest daughter wants an upholstered headboard and I want to reupholster a rocking chair and my stained dining room chair seats! I need the brad nailer! My husband will deploy to Afghanistan soon and I will need DIY projects to keep me sane!:D

  115. I just started doing lots of DIY around my house and have lots of projects I’d like to tackle….first up though, would be a new storage bed for my oldest son. : )

  116. Oh my goodness-I would put up crown molding all over my house. It may be excessive but every room you entered would be completely done. :) Also I think I would use it as well to build an entryway system, like a Potter Barn look alike.

  117. I have a half bath that would look great with bead board! The finish nailer would make that so much easier! Thanks for the chance to win one!

  118. I have so much I would like to do with this! My monthly project in April is to refinish and upholster a bench that I have been meaning to get to for months. This would help greatly!

  119. I would use it to make large frames to make a feature wall in my dining room. Hoping to get that room underway this spring :)

  120. Right now, I’m putting trim and molding around our windows, and the finish nailer sure would make the job easier! I’m also eyeing our boring ceilings… thinking some crown molding would look nice. :)

  121. I have so many projects, which one would I do? Crown moulding in the master bedroom, trim out the windows and a wall treatment.
    Ronda

  122. I would love to have this nailer because I think it would give my son and husband some incentive to help with my DIY projects. Also because I am envious of everyone on HGTV that has one. It has been on my wish list for a very long time. Two projects that I have in mind are building a pedestal for the washer and dryer. The plans are at ana-white.com and I absolutely love the look. The washer has finally died so I get to buy the new front loader and put it on this beautiful pedestal.

  123. I could definitely use it for a million things around the house but probably first would recover the dining room chairs. Thanks so much for such a generous giveaway!

  124. We in the process of putting up trim around all of our bare windows. One down, a million to go and no finish nailer! We NEED this!

  125. Wow. That little nailer is perfect! I know the odds are HEAVILY stacked against me, but somebody’s gotta win, so it might as well be me, right? lol

    As for a project . . . we’re about to start finish work on our carriage house (which we’ll be living in!), and I’d use it to do nearly everything we don’t need the big nailer for. (We already have a finish nailer and BIG compressor–neither of which I like to use.) So, the board & batten treatments in nearly all the rooms, upholstery projects for the window seats, building the cabinet doors for the storage cabs in the eaves . . . you get the idea. And since we’re doing this on a shoestring, free is the perfect price. ;)

    Thanks so much for such a great giveaway!

  126. What WOULDN’T I do??? We just bought our dream house – and I’m itching to dress it up! I really want to add crown and board & batten in a few rooms, make an upholstered headboard for our room and build a 2nd built-in bookcase in the living room. OH and make a window seat for our kitchen nook. Shall I go on??? ;) Love the blog!

  127. I would use it to reupholster my office chair and my living room furniture, and then I would put some decorative molding up in my apartment.

  128. Um, should I just copy and paste the to-do list? Crown molding, window framing and sills are first on the list…I’ll spare you the rest ;)

    This is fantastic! Thanks!

  129. I would love that nail gun stapler to do a board and batten project in my living room!

  130. Oh wow! I’m pulling all our baseboards off and would love to use this to make replacing them easier. What an awesome nailer!

  131. We have a lot of furniture (beds, media center, kitcken table, bed side tables) we want to build and it would make it so much easier. I think every room in our house needs something. Thanks for the chance to win one.

  132. Would LOVE to have this! Getting ready to do some beadboard in the bathrooms and am always reupholstering something…my hands would love a break from the staple gun!

  133. I have several rooms around the house that I would like to put up some board & batten, especially the wall of our staircase. Having a nail gun would really make my life so much easier (& my projects get done quicker). Thanks for the giveaway!

  134. We just bought a home that was in foreclosure and sat empty for 2 years so the projects are endless. Definitely some crown molding!

  135. I’d finish my bathroom remodel which will celebrate it’s 5th year this June. I only need to cut and install the molding so this would be great!

  136. this would be awesome to have around – I can see a couple of projects finished quickly using this – shoe molding & fixing the hottub step

  137. Shelving units for the kids, a bench, and board and batten would be a real possible DIY project if I had a great nailer

  138. We’re redoing an 1880s farmhouse and would use a new nailer in so many places! The trim. The bead board. The picture frame mouldings we’re going to install in the dining room. Our old nailer is on its way out so this would be PERFECT!

  139. We have an old home which I would love to use the brad nailer to install gorgeous molding in the dining room. Also want to install some beadboard in a bathroom plus a million other projects in this old house so it would get put to lots of use!

  140. Oh wow! where do I start with my list of to do’s with a finish nailer, baseboards throughout my entire house, crown molding, Molding on bookcases, etc. My friend let me use hers a few months ago and I have been wishing for one ever since.

  141. I pretty much love beadboard…everywhere! I can’t get enough of it! What a great tool! Thanks for the chance to win!

  142. I would be so happy to win either! The smaller one with the compresser would be ideal though. I am in the middle of several projects and keep wishing I had one! I really plan to make over my closet/office (yes, office in a closet).

  143. I would really love to build a farmhouse bed with my dad to give to my seven year old daughter. My dad had built a loft for me when I was younger and it meant the world to me growing up. The finish nailed sure would make the job easier!

  144. I would use it to put up the wainscoting in my son’s room and in my powder room that I’m getting ready to do. And I would love to crown mold my entire house.

  145. that brad nailer/compressor combo would be a dream come true! i could make my own frames…and we have some shelving to build…and i might even share it with my hubby! :)

  146. Hello. I’ve been enjoying your blog through my RSS feeder for a long time now and am always inspired by your projects. The most frustrating thing about being inspired, though, is that living on a very small fixed income means I never have the funds for purchasing tools and materials necessary for trying some projects myself, (it took three months of saving before I could buy a glue gun, for instance), plus I’m physically limited as well. Then I read about this giveaway and started trembling with, well, possibility. Has that ever happened to you? I took one look at the brad nailer/compressor combo then read you describing its weight (doable, even for me!) and the ease of use and oh girl, oh girl, OH GIRL was I excited at the opportunity to enter my name into this drawing. I have two lovely, but somewhat decrepit vintage rocking chairs that I would LOVE to refinish and reupholster, but have always been discouraged by thinking about the amount of energy it would take to do so. Were I to win your drawing, I know for certain that I would find a way to tackle these two chairs and get a boost of encouragement and esteem at the same time. Sorry to be so long-winded here, I just didn’t know how to share my excitement in fewer words. Good luck to everyone who has entered, and thank you again for this opportunity.

  147. I have started chair rail in my dining and living area, and need to finish it up. It sure would take a lot less time if I had a brad nailer. Then, I have plans to put up board and batten in my bedroom.
    Thanks for the great giveaway!

  148. I have some fabulous furniture I would love to reupholster and this would be perfect for the job!

  149. Kate,
    I cant believe im now looking forward to christmas!!! That will be a fun surprise!
    Ok…. I would totally love one of these cool guns!! We are living through a remodle right now and im working on the kids rooms! I could use this tool in finishing the built ins that im designing :)
    Keep up the wonderful work you are doing!!!

  150. Whoa. Would I like, love that brad nailer or WHAT?!? I’m a new DIY-er with lots of unfinished projects around the apartment and the brad nailer seems perfect for: replacing that cheap cardboard back of a cheap-o Target bookcase with a piece of plywood, recovering my Grandma’s old rocker that is currently in sad shape in my son’s nursery, and putting some trim up around a Craiglist find (a plain-Jane dresser). I’m a single mom and my money tends to go towards things like diapers and formula, so a giveaway like this would be my Christmas!

  151. I am wanting to add crown moulding and also a new fireplace inclosure…The nailer would make that job alot easier!!! Great giveaway and thanks to them for offering….us DIY’ers are drooling!!!

  152. Love you blog! So much inspiration, I can’t keep up with all your wonderful ideas/creations. I would use the tool to add crown molding to our living/dining room!

  153. We want to do some bead board in one of our bedrooms…right now it’s old paneling (painted) but I imagine the job would be MUCH easier with the Campbell Hausfeld. (who is that anyway??) In any case, we’d love to have that!

  154. We are refinishing the trim in our house, and soon will begin installing crown molding. We’d choose that awesome Finish Nailer to get the job done faster!

  155. Oh I would SOOO love to win this! I am wanting to do bead board in a few places in my home but there are dozens of projects I have lined up that I could use this on also!

  156. Oh boy, I have a laundry list of DIY that I would love to work on with the help of a brad nailer!! Thanks to the revamp of the entire basement, baseboards are to be replaced. Wainscoting in the dining room would look darling. Of course, my ultimate to-do: create a homemade upholstered headboard for my daughter’s twin bed we are planning to get her for Christmas (she will be three). I also have a rocking chair that I desperately needs some type of cushioning created for it, which I think a brad nailer would help just wonderfully :)

  157. I have a little bench seat that I want to cover with some thick fabric and my staple gun doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. I would LOVE a brad nailer/compressor for this & future projects. Ooooh, and I just remembered another one: I have some decorative molding that I want to add to my kitchen hutch, so that would be another good project for it! (Fingers crossed!)

  158. There are so many projects to do: reupholster chair, reassemble a table, shelving, trim, and so much more…

  159. I desperately need to redo my retro fabric rocking chair that I love but is worn through to the foam. I would also like to reupholster two round wicker backed chairs that were my grandparents from the 60s. Eventually, I would also like to make a simple sleek fabric headboard. Right now I am making do with one of those cheap framed closet mirrors spray painted and turned on its side.

  160. Ohhhh…I’d love to win this! I’ve got an IKEA bed that I’m going to upholster and I’m wanting to create a new upholstered headboard. Once that’s done, the possibilities are endless! :) Thanks so much!

  161. I would use the finish nailer to complete installing new baseboard. After replacing the floor 2 summers ago, the baseboard is banged up and need re-freshening!

  162. I would use the brad nailer. I have been wanting to make us an upholstered headboard forever! Winning one would be just the motivation I need to finally get it done.

  163. I have several items in my garage that need to be reupholstered. I would also find some other projects just so I could play with my new toy :)

  164. I would love a brad nailer. I have already purchased some beautiful fabric to reupholster my grandmother’s chair that has been passed down to me. I have never reupholstered anything in my life but I am eager to give it a try! Thank you for the opportunity on your giveaway. I’m so glad you had a wonderful day with your photo shoot! I’m looking forward to seeing you in print when the magazine comes out.

  165. I would use it to put up the molding in my laundry room that was remodeled 2 years ago for starters…but oh soooo much more!

  166. I have so many projects to tackle its hard to pick what would be first….most likely some molding over our fireplace. It would be beyond awesome to win it!

    Oh thanks for the teaser on the BH&G Christmas issue…NEXT YEAR!! Ha Ha…things to look forward to.

  167. Would be perfect for replacing crown molding and baseboards. Desperately needed project at our house.

  168. I have been wanting one of these for so long! I would love to make an upholstered headboard and I have an ottoman that I want to re-upholster, the brad nailer would be perfect!!

  169. This would be awesome! I’d like to build some outdoor benches and furniture for my daughter’s room!

  170. i would love to put up shelves all by myself! thanks!

  171. First project I would do is finish my second bathroom that needs headboard on the ceiling. It has the trim done and then our compressor died leaving me with a 75% complete job and we just haven’t popped for a new compressor! This one would be perfect for me to use and do the entryway hooks and batten look next. Pick me. :)

  172. Just the thing I need to get me started on the headboard project I have been dreaming about! What a great giveaway!

  173. I’d put up some wainscoting and trim in my laundry room and then use it to finish some bookcases and the bed frames for my little boys! I was just telling my hubby last night that a nailer is at the top of my wish list.

  174. I want to install beadboard to the ceiling in my kitchen and make a murphy bed/built in bookcase for the spare bedroom. This tool would be perfect for sooooo many projects!

  175. Right now I’m in a rental home, so no big projects in the near future. However, I’m sure such a tool would be handy for some decor ideas!

  176. My hubby and I are going to move into our first home.. On a tiiiiight budget and researching everything we can do on our own.. I would love to put board and batten in the 2nd bathroom and in the laundry room

  177. Oh, the projects I would do. I would LOVE a brad nailer… and I would love the finish Nailer! The decision would be very painful! I would love to reupholster my couch, build some book shelves, Hang Board and Batten in my hallway and I am currently debating on redoing our kitchen cabinet doors. This would help us make the decision ;-) . We just purchased a miter saw and I would love to play with molding more, Molding is a very rewarding project!

  178. Oh my gosh where do I even start? Thanks to your blog I have about 47 thousand things I want to do, number one being to make an upholstered headboard for the new king bed that hubby and I desperately need because when that 5:30 wake up comes (from our two toddlers!) there is not enough room for all of us in our current queen bed to snuggle.

  179. I would love to use this for a bunch of different home improvement projects…. I think I have a couple of reupholstery projects that this would be perfect for.

    Thanks!

  180. I plan to put wainscoting (most likely board and batten) in the dining room. We’re also going to put up crown molding in several rooms.

    Love your blog!

  181. I would love to try board and batten. We just moved and our house definitely needs some personality. I think B&B would do the trick!!!

  182. I would install much needed crown mouldings in my dining room and guest bedroom/office. THEN, I would reupholster my vintage thomasville faux bamboo ottoman! Oh the joy!

  183. I’m up to my ears in a bathroom redo. I would be over-the-moon-giddy if I had the little brad nailer to put the moulding up.

  184. Crown molding in my living room and then my mom’s dining room, followed quickly by fancy wood cornices and casings for our windows, then…

  185. brad/nailer please! i’m getting into reupholsterey this year, and it sounds like i need one of these. :) thanks for the great give away

  186. Because of you I have a million projects I need a nail gun for! Not want, NEED. And I could tell James Bond he couldn’t touch it without my permission because it would be MINE!!!!!! Insert maniacal laugh here.

  187. Oh yay! I really want to start (attempting) upholstery! I actually bought a small bench today from goodwill for 8 bucks and plan on making it into an upholstered seat for next to my front door :) So instead of my sketchy staple gun, id love to get the brad nailer/compressor! pick me, pick me!

  188. I could so use this at my house! My husband and I bought an old house when we got married in 2008 and are remodeling it. This would be a giant help for us!

  189. I would use the nailer on my fireplace. It is a corner fireplace and above the mantle is so plain. I would put up molding to snazzy it up. Love your blog.

  190. I have a fabulous chair, a $0.99 Goodwill find, sitting in my basement, waiting for some love. A finish nailer would be awesome! Thanks for the opportunity and have a great weekend.

  191. I would LOVE to have a brad nailer to do a few projects around my new house. I’m really wanting to put wainscoting up on the living room walls, and I can’t imagine how long it would take with a regular old hammer and nails!

  192. I would love that brad nailer! I have several projects that would come in handy for . . . a wing chair to reupholster, dining room chairs to recover, trim to put up in the dining room, drying rack for the laundry room and I’m sure I could “nail down’ ;) a few more ideas.

  193. I have several DIY projects in the works right now, but the one that jumps to the forefront is the makeover of our guest bathroom. The brad nailer would be perfect for the board and batten installation in that room!

  194. We are buying a new house and these tools will make all of our reupholstery projects so much easier. Plus, we are planning on putting picture frame molding up in our new dining room and these would be such a help!

  195. I have so many projects to tackle, and this would make attempting to reupholster a chair and doing wainscoting the the dining room, crown molding in the bath, on and on and on, a lot easier. Great giveaway, hope to win…

  196. I need to build shelves in my sewing/quilting room. I have the basic set up organized but need more shelf space. Thanks at a chance to win.

  197. My hubby and I have just bought what I have fondly named The Pink Monster. It’s a 1957 rancher and it needs lots and lots of love. I have plans to use your board and batten in a few rooms among other ideas I have found on your site and I am sure that this brad nailer would come in very handy. If you want to take a peek at The Pink Monster here is a link

  198. I would love to install some wainscotting in my bedroom – it has ugly uneven walls that don’t look great painted.

  199. Hey Kate! I’m in the middle of upholstering chairs right now, so I”m thinking the brad nailer would come in mightly handy! ALTHOUGH….I’m about to build a window seat and put up a wainscotting in my dining room, so the other nailer might be better in there! Oh my..guess I’ll have to make my mind up if I win! :) LOL

  200. The molding in our family room has been leaning up against the far wall for over a year now. My first project would definitely be the molding, it’s long over due.

  201. ooh my dining room chairs need to be recovered and I’m in the middle of doing a nursery for our newest little one, which would look fabulous with some board and batten. I could think of a million projects to use this for!

  202. I have SO many projects I could use a nailer for! Framing 2 bathroom mirrors, hanging wainscotting in the kitchen and hallway, reupholstering a sofa in my living room, but first – I’ve got an old cedar chest my mother gave me years ago that despertely needs a new lid with an upholstered cover! I’m also putting this on my FB page (Ginny Underwood). Keeping my fingers crossed!

  203. I’ve been extremely interested in your batten board project and it inspired me to add this detail to my lower level recreation room. I have a bungalow home and it would fit perfectly in both style and in keeping with the architecture of the home.

    THis nailer would sure make the project easier and I would be very happy to share the before and after pictures. Thank you for the opportunity!

  204. Where to start? The first thing I would do is a couple of chairs that have shredded backs and
    corners from the cat clawing them after I covered them the last time. After that, get in line
    because I could stay busy fixing/creating things for many, many months and years.
    Thanks for the inspirations

  205. I would use the braid nailer to build an upholstered headboard. I’m currently living on an air mattress on the floor because I can’t find the perfect bed! I have so many ideas that I can’t even begin to list them, but the headboard would definitely be first.

  206. I would either do a board and batten project in my dining room or just finish out the chair rail and molding on the other side of the room. Why do builders just place that on one side?? I also want to replace all the baseboards in my home with a bulkier size – just saying.

  207. I would love to install some board and batten along the walls in my bathroom downstairs. Love the look in the room you are doing. I have yet to paint the orange that is in there now. I am thinking of doing a blue similar to your picture. I also have a woodwork project that would go so much quicker with a nailer!

  208. I linked to this on Facebook (and need to learn how to spell….braid nailer/brad nailer….same difference LOL).

  209. I am redoing the boys bedrooms and would love to add some molding to their rooms–maybe a “shelf” that extends around two walls for trophys and pictures…or board and batten to add interest.

  210. I have several molding projects that I want to start, but I lack a nail gun and am overwhelmed by the thought of picking one out.

  211. i would FINALLY get some screen (with molding) in my empty door. huge frame-nothing inside.

  212. I am redoing my daughters room now that she is getting married and moving out. I would use it to finish the trim in that room, and also to build a new shelving unit in her closet. Oh, and I’m sure I would find LOTS more uses for it as well. lol

  213. Oh, boy. A number of projects to choose from. The daylight basement family room needs built-in storage/bookcases. A long wished for project is tall built-in bookcases surrounding the fireplace upstairs. Or, a mantel for the mantel-less fireplace!

    The cat keeps peeing on the couch. Oops, said that out loud.

  214. I have a sofa reupholstery project just crying out for the smaller nailer–both with brads and staples.

  215. I would like to transform our new construction home with crown molding and other trim detailing. Right now, we are in the middle of a shelving project so this tool would be helpful. In addition, I would like to construct an upholstered headboard and cabinet for all our kids books, add’l storage.

  216. We’d use it to replace the trim in our upstairs hallway, and then my hubby wants to build a train table for our son!

  217. I would do board and batten in my foyer and then go to my mom’s house and do her foyer too!! Awesome giveaway – thanks!

  218. We are planning to retire within the next 2 years and have to fix our house up to sell. I want to do board and batten in the upstairs bathroom and this would help us tremendously.

  219. First thing’s first … I would fix a spot on my coffee table that’s been driving me crazy. I keep fantasizing about how a nail gun would just be the perfect way to fix it! Thanks for the giveaway! :)

  220. I really would love to install board and batten in the nursery for our next child. I’ve always loved that look!

  221. I would have so many uses for a nailer. Add moulding to an existing plain bookcase, board and batten to my son’s room and make framed wood wall art to cover an electrical box. Thanks for the giveaway!

  222. I would love to install bead board in our mudroom and crown molding in our living room. Great giveaway!

  223. I would love to have the trim back up in our house! We put in laminate flooring almost two years ago and have yet to replace the trim because we don’t have a nail gun!

  224. I have been putting off doing the crown molding in my children’s bathroom. This might be just the motivation I need!

  225. I would love to switch out all the builder grade molding throughout house! It looks like the perfect size and easy to use!

  226. I have linked this message to my FB page. I hope that all of my friends see it and check out your blog! I have said it before and I will say it again; you are inspiring me to do make great changes to my home.

  227. Oh LOVE that brad nailer!!!! We could FINALLY do the finish work on our kitchen counter bar area that has been sitting unfinished for 3+ years!!!

  228. We want to cover over the 80s brick fireplace in our family room. I’ll use the brad nailer to build the frame over it before covering with cement board.

  229. I would put up some crown molding in our soon to build new house! Oh, I’d also to do some board and batten in the new mud room!

  230. Well we have something like 800 feet of baseboard and door trim to install (okay, so I never measured but you get the idea), not to mention all of the windows in the house! And the fact that my board and batten hasn’t been cut but i’ve been living with 1/2 painted walls is driving me nuts! So yes, I could use this. Thanks for the giveaway!

    BTW i’d love to see your basemolding, the hubs and I can’t decide what we should do for ours!! Thanks for all you post!

  231. Well I will say that my husband has yet me use his nailer a couple times, but a girl needs her own! I am dying to fix the beadboard in our hall bath and do it the right way!

  232. AWESOME giveaway! We just bought our first home, and would put this to SUCH great use installing molding and board & batten treatments. OHHH! Excited at the thought :)

    Thank you! Analise

  233. Ooh, we’re planning to build a new fireplace mantel and built in bookcases in our living room. The nailer would come in really handy!

  234. I just picked up some chairs yesterday that I am going to paint and re-upholster! This will be just the tool to make my project go so much smoother!

  235. I would love the brad nailer so we can do some board and batten in the nursery for our first child due in July

  236. Oh my do I have to pick just ONE project?? I have so many! Defintely would use it for the laundry room board and batten project as well as several b and b project at my grandfathers house that we are remodeling! Would also use it to make some shawdow box shelves for a tween’s room!

  237. I need to reupholster two chairs and a headboard and I am plannning on putting up wainscoting in our master bedroom. This would be a lifesaver!!

  238. I have been wanting to add board and batten or wainscoting to my dining room AND build a gardening table. Winning this tool would get me going! Thanks for the chance!

  239. Where would I begin, so many projects come to mind……I think I would start with crown molding in a couple rooms in my house and then move onto some board and batten in daughters room.

  240. I’d love to put a chair rail in our dining room. I’ve been thinking about it for years. Either that or I might stencil one.

  241. We are in the process of finishing our basement and the 2 1/2 nailer would be very useful installing trim and crown molding not forgeting the endless possibilities around the rest of the house. Thank you CG & Campbell Hausfeld for a brillant give away!!

  242. buying a new house soon so the possiblities are endless. Most likely first project would be wainscoting in the dining room or crown molding if there isn’t any.

  243. I would use the finish nailer to make built in bookcases around our fireplace that we have been wanting to do for months!

  244. Hi Kate-

    I am looking forward to the holidays to read all about your experience and see your lovely home all decked out.

    I would love the brad nailer – cool tool – wish I had it right now to complete an ottoman I am working on.

    My best- Diane

  245. I would love to do crown molding and board and batten in my daughter’s new big girl room! We were unable to do a nursery for her because we lived in an apartment when she was born. So it would be nice to finish her room off properly! Plus the rest of the house needs crown molding and I would love some wainscoting in the dining room =)
    Thanks for doing these awesome giveaways!

  246. I am planning some board and batten projects and this would be perfect. Also might come in handy to nail my husband to the wall if he refuses to help me.

  247. What wouldn’t I do?!? I would replace the cheap backing on some store-bought bookshelves, I would finally put up the wall treatment in the basement I have been thinking about (does either nailer work for cinderblock/cement?), I would make some storage cubes for all of my junk, er I mean treasures, etc.

  248. i have a bunch of decorative millwork that I need to finish around the house. its taking forever using a regular hammer. the brad nailer would help move the process along.

  249. RIGHT NOW, I am in the middle of tearing off the trim in our whole house and replacing it with simple craftsman style casings. I am borrowing a friend’s nail gun AGAIN, and have thought so many times that I really do just need to get my own!

  250. This would free me from using my husband’s HUGE air compressor with my power stapler – I’d LOVE to have a brad nailer for upholstery projects (sitting and collecting dust in he garage at present because I’ve been overwhelmed at the prospect of choosing one of these “bad girls”).

  251. Sweet giveaway! I would use it to make an upholstered coffee table and add board and batten to my room. :)

  252. I’d love the finish nailer! My hubby is covering our brick fireplace with molding and it sure would make the job easier! Thanks!

  253. I would definitely finish off my Dining Room with it. I’d like to paint in there, add in a chair rail or do a picture molding along the bottom half of the room!

  254. I have been yearning to do a board and batten treatment in my darker than dark brown office! The brad nailer would be the perfect motivation!

  255. I would use it to recover a bench I am not happy with and then some other projects around the house. We remodeled our bathroom and need to attach new baseboards.

  256. I inherited an antique wingback chair that was my Great Grandmothers and thenbelonged to my Grandfather. I have always wanted to reupholster it but haven’t tackled the job due to lack of know how and the appropriate tools. Now after following your blog for a few months i feel confident to try it and the brad nailer would be the last piece of the puzzle to get me started!

  257. I am doing my very first reupholster project with a chair I inherited! I really would love to have the staple gun…I think it would make the project much easier…love all your designs!! Thanks for this awesome giveaway :)

  258. I would do a headboard for the master bedroom. This is a project I’ve been wanting to do! I take an upholstery class once a week. This nailer would be well used!

  259. I need to finish putting up my baseboards, i was switching them up for a bulier one but got distracted

  260. I am seriously excited about this give away!! I would have to say that my first project would be to put crown in my kids bedroom. Then I would move onto my living room and beef up the crown in there! My list is growing by the minute!! Thank you so much!

  261. We’ve been borrowing our neighbors brad nailer & finish gun as we’ve been finishing our basement. I don’t know how we would have finished everything without them! It would be great to have our own tools!

  262. oh how fun this would be, I’m pretty sure my first project would be some sort of reupholstering followed by molding in my hallway.

  263. I’ve been dying to tackle some thrift store chairs and recover them for my dining room, but things always seem to get put on the backburner b/c I do not have the proper tools – so no more excuses if I win!

  264. Oh, what I would do!

    I am currently living with the world’s ugliest kitchen. (No, really….it might be the world’s ugliest kitchen). I’ve been dying to start taking down the 5′ yellow tile with maroon tile trim (see, I told you!) and put up a board and batten wainscoting. From there, who knows!

  265. I’d like to give some new life to furniture with new fabrics and I’ve never done it-just delighted in your “before and afters.” This would certainly help!

  266. We’re gonna add some space and a bathtub to our bathroom this spring. I’m envisioning wainscoting, so a brad nailer would come in super handy.

  267. I am knee deep, no make that thigh deep in a first time chair reupholstery. I would use the brad/staple gun for finishing my project. I would also use it to finish the baseboards and quarter round in my house. Thanks for all the awesome info and tips. I visit the blog everyday.

  268. Oh my hubby would love it! We (he) can finish up the moldings in our house around all the windows. Then the board/batten for an entry/mud room area. Many other things I’m sure!!!
    Thanks for the giveaway. The little picture you shared of your boy’s room is looking great!

  269. OH please please please please please please please please please randomly pick mine! I’ve been wanting a nailer for 2 YEARS now. But it hasn’t been high enough on the priority list (dang diapers beat it out every time!), and my hubby is seriously scared of having one in the house. He’s sure he’s going to have to take someone to the ER to get a nail removed from a head. (funny man. He has no problem with any kind of regular gun being in the house, but serious issues with a nailer!)

    Anyway, I want to install beadboard in my kitchen. And crown molding in almost every single room in the house. And build a table. And recover my wingback chair. Um, yeah. I have a LONG list of things I’d use it for!

  270. I would add some board and batten to the office. Our house needs some architectural detail!

  271. Oh, boy, could I use either one of those! We are just in the finishing stages of building our new home, and I have too many projects that I could use these tools on… I’m sure once we move in, I’ll be able to come up with plenty of uses! Thanks for the chance to win!

  272. we built a house about a year ago and I have so many projects in my head. Definetly board and batten and so much more.

  273. I’m in the process of designing a long desk/work area for our homeschool room, and this tool is on my list of things to purchase! I need one to attach molding. Next I plan to make my own bed for a bedroom re-do.

  274. I would LOVE to win the brad nailer! I have so many projects around the house that I would like to do that require that tool. First up – upholstering our kitchen barstools!

  275. We are wanting to put some crown molding up around our house – our bedroom, the dining room and such! My husband would LOVE to win one of these tools! Thanks for the opportunity! Can’t wait to see your son’s room!

  276. I need this so badly! I am moving into my boyfriends new house, which has about a bajillion projects that need to be done – it’s basically a blank slate! One of the first ones would be to add some beadboard, and I have four chairs that need to be recovered. Oh, my head is spinning and all my fingers are crossed!

  277. I’d love the brad nailer! My’ husband and I have been doing a lot of projects lately, building benches, redoing our closet and going to be working on building a playhouse for our 2 boys soon. That would come in so handy with a multitude of projects we have planned.

  278. I would LOVE, LOVE to win the brad nailer! That way I could finally put all of the shoe molding back up from when I tiled my bathroom.

  279. I love the look of wainscoting! I want to redo our dinning/breakfast area with it about 4 ft. down. So classic looking!

  280. Bathroom! I love the Board and Batten look. I also hope to install some additional trim in the bedrooms upstairs. Love this!

  281. Oh, goodness. If I won this? Hello, storage! This month, I started a whole-house makeover. A few rooms are going to need some built-in shelving and this would make it so much easier. Plus, my husband would be SO jealous.

  282. I’ve been contemplating trying a board and batten project! The Brad Nailer would be perfect!

  283. The brad nailer sounds like just what I need to tackle recovering some chair seats. It would be my first time to DIY, too!

  284. This summer I want to 1)install wainscotting in the powder room, 2)add trim work to daughter’s room, 3)add crown molding to living room, 4)add trim to kitchen cabinets, and 5)recover kitchen chairs. The brad nailer would get a workout here. lol

  285. We would use it to put up crown molding in our bathrooms, and to put up board and batten in my daughter’s room.

  286. I was inspired by your photo ledge/ coat hook wall and have already bought all of the materials to install one in my hallway that leads out to the garage. Now, all I need is the brad nailer to help me complete the project. Thanks for the chance to win!!

  287. I’ve been wanting desperately to do an add-on room to our house, enclosing our covered porch. Our 1800 sq ft house is getting way too cramped now with 2 kids under the age of 2.5! I envision a sunroom style play room with beadboard under the windows. And crown molding in our master bedroom while we’re at it!

  288. I have SO many projects this would be great for. Then I don’t have to rent one. I want to do crown molding and picture boxes in my house. A long with a few Christmas presents I need to get started

  289. We recently bought our first house, so we have several projects we would like to tackle, including board and batten in the future nursery!

  290. “I” would not attempt any DIY project…I would probably end up nailing my own self to the wall. If “I” won the nailer, I would suprise my hubby with it and sweet talk him into installing board and batten in our guest bedroom. Something like “but honey, we WON the nailer so we HAVE TO DO THIS PROJECT.” HA!

  291. We’ll be putting new trim in the master bath and sunroom once we’re installed the tile floor. Also have 3 chair seats to recover for the girls college apartment! Fun! i.NEED.this!

  292. Like many here, I have dreams of beadboard in my kitchen. I have an old house – built in 1921 – so I have many, many projects on the to-do list. Thanks for this great opportunity!

  293. I would put built-in bookshelves in the den, make a real library in there. Would clear up SO much book clutter in the rest of the house! I love to read, so does my husband, but the books are EVERYWHERE!

  294. There are so many projects around my house. But the first one would be to add a bead board backsplash in my kitchen. I so love the look of a “Barefoot Contessa/Hamptons” style kitchen!

  295. We are buying our first house this year so the possibilities are endless for this bad boy! I have always dreamed of having beautiful waiscotting in my dining room!

  296. I’ve been trying to convince my boyfriend that we should make our own padded headboard and I think if I win this, it may just do the trick! :) Thanks for the giveaway!

  297. Pick me! We have so many projects we could use this for, crown molding, upholstering an ottoman, and so many more.

  298. What a great giveaway – I’ve been wanting to add chair rail and wainscoting to a few more rooms, so a brad nailer would come in quite handy!

    Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
    ButterYum

  299. I (along with my husband!) would put crown molding up along with replacing a lot of the old trim around our house!

  300. Would love the brad nailer/compressor. That thing looks awesome! I’d use it to make some custom benches/toy storage in our living room to hide away all the toy clutter and I have been tinkering with the idea of somehow upholstering our headboard among a few other things :)

  301. Oh, this would be such incentive for my handy hubby to get busy installing crown in my living room and board and batten in my dining room. Oh, and crown in my master bedroom. And a built-in window seat/toy box in the playroom. A new upholstered headboard would be nice, too…

  302. I want to build cupboards in my garage and laundry room so the finish nailed would rock!

  303. I have been wanting to make upholstered headboards for my boys and the brad nailer would be a great help! Thanks for the chance to win!

  304. I’ve always dreamed of putting up crown molding – if I randomly win, Id be able to make it happen.

    Happy weekend and thanks so much for the give-away!

  305. crown molding and board and batten in numerous rooms in my house and my family/friends homes.

  306. We could use this for fininshing up the molding in my son’s room – and doing the crown molding we hope to add to our LR.

  307. We’ve built a cabin and have some unfinished projects…kitchen cabinet moulding, wood floor baseboard trim…just waiting for this!!! I could also pad the kitchen chairs….hmmm

  308. I would love to do a board and batten treatment in my dining room. Thanks for all your great ideas

  309. yes please! We’re starting on a basement refinishing project this summer with tons of trim, board and batten, and molding. This would be so helpful!

  310. I am in the middle of a major DIY home remodel (currently doing three bathrooms-one with wainscotting. I can think of hundreds of projects either of the great tools would help complete. What a wonderful giveaway from my favorite tool company.

  311. I would finally put up the last pieces of moulding in our house! It is 12 years in the making and I am more than ready to finish this job. :) Thanks!

  312. We have this awkward space in our living room that is where a fireplace option could have been installed. Instead it is just a hole in the wall. I would love to build some custom open shelving and give purpose to the area. I’d also like to hang some moulding, and upholster my dining room chairs, and the list goes on for a long time.

  313. I need the Big Gun to build some shelving in my closet and to add crown moulding to my bathroom and living room!

  314. I would put new molding in my living area and some of that beautiful board and batten for my hallway! Thanks for the opportunity! :)

  315. Reupholster a slipper chair that I love and desperately needs redoing, paneling on the interior of our cottage–and a whole list of projects that I’ve been waiting on for my husband to do. You help me realize that I don’t have to wait on him!!! I’ll do them myself!

  316. I would love to win so I could install crown molding. We are slowly but surely remodeling our 1980’s home and we could really use either of these great tools!

  317. Where to start mmmm, so many projects I want to do with that. Well I would have to say my first project would be to reupholster a fabulous chair I found at an antique store years ago. It has been waiting around for me to give it some new fabric love. Winning this would make that possible. :)

  318. We recently had all new flooring installed throughout our house. I have over 600 LF of baseboard that I need to install…this tool will be a blessing!

  319. This would be a DREAM COME TRUE!! I am a crafter and have wanted one FOREVER. I also need to upholster two chairs and a numnber of trim work to do around the house. Oh MY, Oh My !! Pick me.

  320. My husband and I purchased our very first home this past fall…a cute foursquare in an old historic area of Pittsburgh. We fell in love with the charm of the neighborhood and the house! Unfortunately, the interior of the house was stripped of most of the original wood workings (baseboards, fireplace mantles, window frames, plate rails, and crown moldings). We are planning to put these features back into the house and return it to it’s old glory, and this nailer would be so helpful in making these restoration dreams come true! Thanks for the opportunity to win this!

  321. I would LOOOOVE to win this giveaway. I’m about to graduate school and have dreams of transforming my entryway with board and batten as soon as I get my first job. I know exactly what I want to do I just need to round up the tools (and money) to get me going. SO please please pick me!

  322. I’d love to use it to put board and batten up in our finished basement! It might even be useful for putting up the tin ceiling I want.

  323. So many projects…where to start…but I think my next project will be redoing my staircase with paint on the spindles and risers and adding molding/trim to the walls to look like wood panels. Thanks!

  324. I have recently found many pieces of furniture in the alleys around where I live and work. These are nice, sturdy pieces of furniture that just need some TLC. I could definitely use the brad nailer to help me out with the upholstering projects I have in mind!

  325. This is probably the most generous giveaway I’ve ever seen! I’ve been planning on putting up board and batten in my bathroom but haven’t had the tools to do it. The brad nailer would be perfect!

  326. Oh, the projects I could complete . . . I need to install quarter round in my living room (that’s been missing since I put in the floors a few years back) and would love some beadboard in one of the bedrooms!

  327. Are you kidding? What wouldn’t we use it on? We have installed crown and chair in nearly all the bedrooms and now we plan to add wainscoting and crown and board and batten in all the main rooms. We’d be best friends with this thing in about 10 minutes.

  328. I’d love to do some crown molding and maybe a board and batten treatment for our new baby’s room!

  329. I really want to make my own upholstered headboard. I just finished re-covering two chairs and I had a crappy staple gun and I almost threw it through a window. I would love to win!

  330. I would love this to recovering an ottoman in my nursery. (and I am sure I would find many more projects to do!)

  331. Such a cool giveaway… Well… we have so many projects!! I would love to put up beadboard in my daughters room, crown molding in the kitchen, dining room, and living room. Um… make a headboard for the master bedroom… there are so many possibilities!! :)
    Thanks for a chance to win!!

  332. I have a chair that I’ve been meaning to recover for about 2 years! And would love to install crown in my bedroom! This would be fabulous!

  333. What wouldn’t I do? Not even sure which one I would pick because I want to refinish furniture, build bookcases, finish the chair rail someone else started! With the new house the list is unlimited. I hope I get picked!

  334. I would love the brad/staple gun for upholstery projects. I HATE my electric staple gun with a passion. I’ve been seriously thinking about an air powered one for a while. I would LOVE it!! :)

  335. The picture you posted of the board & batten is exactly what I want to do with the brad nailer in my upstairs hallway! It’s meant to be! :)

    Thanks for the opportunity.

  336. I would love the brad gun to try wainscoting in the hallway and up the stairs. Your projects are amazing.

  337. I put up wainscotting in one room without a nail gun… hammer only…this would certainly make the next room much easier.

  338. This would be so sweet & could be here in time to FINISH my project!!! While I would find uses for both of these, I would choose the Finish Nailer–because my biggest project is a Kitchen Remodel–tearing out cabinets and replacing with some beautiful open air wood shelving, new floors and an island on wheels! Majority of this to be done by myself! Thanks for the opportunity to enter!!!

  339. You are SO inspiring! My husband’s head is spinning at the number of projects that I have recently completed and have in the works! I am dying to do the board and batten in my son’s room too! I found the cutest “tuffet” stool at a consignment store that I want to recover as well as some upholstered dining chairs that need recovered. The list goes on and on…

  340. I have an idea for some small shelving units that I want to work on as soon as I recover from my upcoming back surgery. That surgery, and my carpal tunnel syndrome, make it imperative to have power tools to work with.

  341. I would definitely go for the bigger gun, because we recently bought an old house greatly in need of some TLC, so who knows what projects I’ll get into in the future. My very first project, however, would be to tear the *bright blue carpet* off the walls in the upstairs bath and replace it with some pretty board and batten.

  342. I actually have some chairs that need recovering – and I would love to put some crown moulding up in my living room – so I would have a hard time deciding which one I would want.

  343. I just moved into my new to me house last week and have a million projects I could use this for! Starting with the wains cotting in the wash room. I’m building and hanging a hideaway ironing board and laundry drying rack… oh it will be fabulous! Thanks for this chance to win!

  344. What would I NOT do? I can’t even decide which one I would choose. Board and batten, bookshelves, moulding, it’s ALL on my to do list.

  345. I’d love to try to make an upholstered headboard for my guest bedroom. I would also like to try to put up bead boarding in my daughters room.

  346. I would LOVE to start putting up more modern trim in our new (to us) home.
    Maybe some board and batten in our Romp Room? and some crown molding in our master bedroom? and maybe pretty up the breakfast bar with bead board?
    Oh my – the list infinite!

  347. Our staircase is a carpeted mess! It’s the first thing you see when you walk in the door and no amount of cleaning makes it look good. We’re feeling inspired by your staircase reno so ripping up the carpet and replacing risers is definitely on our to-do list!

  348. This would be just terrific. For a long time, I have wanted to beef up the original crown moldings in my living and dining rooms. I want to add some picture molding about 2″ below the crown that is there now. Once I paint the old and new molding, as well as the space in between, the same color, it will be a more impressive crown compared to the skimpy one that is there now.

  349. We have this weird little nook in our basement and I am building a “built-in” bookshelf for it.

  350. I would totally use that bad boy to put some board & batten at the landing of our staircase (it is currently carpeted…yes, the WALL is carpeted! Yuk!)

  351. What wouldn’t I do around the house! This place is in serious need of some TLC. If I could make the whole board and batten thing work in this small space, I’d definitely do that!

  352. I really want to add board and batten to my long hallway entry from the garage. Fingers crossed!

  353. I want to build a basket storage bench for my grandson’s room for storage to start with.

  354. We could use new baseboards, but I need to recover my chairs. Tough decision. But either would be awesome!

  355. I NEED the finish nailer!!!!! We have an Ana White project planned for our bedroom and I have a board and batten project incubating for our bedroom! May the Random.org gods smile upon me!!!!

  356. I have so many projects I would love to use this for…specifically for building things and adding the decorative trim to projects especially on small furniture projects. I have some chairs that I am working on that need some extra stabilization! The first time I used a nail gun I was scared, but once I got going I was hooked. I was very sad when we had to return it to it’s owner! :-)

  357. oooohh…I could use that bad boy! I’ve been building trumeau mirrors with the help of a friend and his tools. I could do it all by myself if I win!

  358. I wan to do board and batten in my boys bathroom, build a small bookcase for an alcove, add windowpane molding in the living room . . .

  359. I would put board and batten in all three of my bathrooms, for a start. Or maybe in my dining room. So many possibilities!

  360. I would love to try to make my own upholstered headboad and some maybe try to install some board and batten. So many projects are going through my mind!

  361. I just started looking at this model and hoping my family would be super-generous for Mother’s Day (a girl can hope!). I’ve got crown molding and wainscotting near the top of my list. Glad to hear your photo shoot went so well — it will be worth the wait!

  362. The real question is what wouldn’t I do with a brad nailer? I have been jonesing for one since we purchased our first house last October. First on the list, these walls need some wainscoting.

  363. I would be using it to install wainscoting in my upstairs attic to master bedroom conversion. :) What a great tool!

  364. Wow, where to start. I, Lord willing, will be having a house built for me in Uganda and there will be countless updates I need to do to it – a headboard, board & batten, crown molding (maybe I’m pushing it there a little) but so many possibilities!

  365. So many projects to choose from. My first project would be the island/bar for our kitchen. It would make it so much faster.

  366. I have a list of projects to use the brad nailer/stapler. I would start with crown molding in my powder room then move on to reupholstering a sofa and two chairs!

  367. I have so many projects on my list that I would use the nailer for. I would board and batten a wall in my kitchen first.

  368. I have oodles of projects at home to complete but the most important one is probably re-upholstering the kitchen chairs as they have seen their better days. I would love to win this!!!

  369. I would tackle the kitchen cabinet makeover by adding some trim to the doors and then re-painting. I’d also like to add crown molding to the guest room.

  370. My first project would be to finish upholstering my chair than I would use it for wall treatments like crown molding. thanks for the chance!

  371. Oohhhhhhhhhhh just a ton of stuff I could do with that nailer! I need to trim out my new bamboo tred staircase and trim the doorways in the lower level of our house.

  372. I’d dazzle my home with lots of crown molding and bead-board … I’d start in my living room

  373. I’d love to build a custom entertainment center to make the front room more kid friendly!

  377. Woo Hoo! Great giveaway!!

    Thanks for the tutorials!

  378. I would love to recover my dining chairs, I did it two years ago but my cat threw up on one of them repeatedly and i have no more of the clearance fabric! Also, I don’t have a headboard, so that’d be the big project test. Love your site, thanks so much!

Thanks for the info!

  390. I want to reupholster my grandmothers antique couch and need a tool such as this. And with this tool there is no limit to the things I could conquer!

It is so like what I have envisioned for bringing the family room bathroom up to date.
    …and for those who might like to know, a compressor is the perfect tool for ‘dusting’ out the area under the strings on a grand piano. Nothing else actually moves the dust out of there! Thanks for the chance to win a tool I have long dreamed of owning!

  421. Hi Kate!!

    I’ve been reading your blog for some time now…you are absolutely amazing and quite the inspiration!! I have been dying to make an upholstered headboard for several years now and winning the brad nailer/compressor combo would definitely inspire me to carry out my project!!! Thanks for the giveaway Kate!!

  422. Too many projects to list them all, but my son and daughter-in-law are in the process of redoing an older ranch style home. This would be a fabulous gift for them!

  423. My son wanted to paint his room orange–yes, ORANGE! I agreed to it if I could also put up board and batten. It’s been taped off for a couple of months, but I haven’t had a change to buy the supplies–including some sort of nail gun. This would be perfect!!

  424. I’ve never used a brad nailer before, but really want to try using one for an upholstered headboard I’ve been wanting for some time now.

  425. Hmmm….where to begin! Of course I would have to start with a board and batten project. I am totally digging the board and batten look I have been seeing around. And then of course from there, the projects (or what I like to call the “honey do” list) would be endless!!

  426. Where to begin?! I would love to do some bead board in the bathroom and then some furniture building that has been waiting…this would be the motivation I need!

  427. I have a TON of projects that I could use this brad nailer on!!! I have crown molding I’d like to add, I’d like to make a riser for the front loading washer and dryer that I’m going to buy, several projects from Ana White :) just to name a few!!! Crossing my fingers!!!

  428. I would absolutely love to add a nailer to my measly tool supply. I have soo many things I’d like to do – projects in the bookmark folders just waiting for the right tools to be acquired. Right now, adding trim to my husbands office and bead board in the bathroom are at the top of my list. Thanks for the great give away!

  429. I would love to recover my antique dining room chairs and make headboards for my daughters. I am sure I could find a lot of projects :)

  430. Oh Wow! I would love to install some crown moulding & wainscotting to give my bland dining room some much needed interest!

  431. I’d love to win this!!

    I do a lot of reupholstering and I’d love to do some wainscoting! So many projects that this could help me out with!

    Thanks for the give away!

  432. I think I would go insane and do some Versailles style trim work in the living room and them move on to my Mom’s house to do some amazing trim on the ceiling and finally go back home and wainscot the dining room. OMG! It would be amazing!

  433. My husband and I collected over one hundred vases for our wedding last November and he promised me he would build me some shelves along the top of our kitchen so that I could proudly display them all. The brad nailer would be perfect for this project!

  434. I have been DYING to do a board and batten project in my house. This would really come in handy for that!

  435. I would LOVE one of these! I want to put up some beadboard, make a couple shelves and cover up our hideous spindle columns on our porch with some nice crisp white pvc boards. Just to name a few =)

  436. The brad nailer would allow me to finish so many little projects! Crown molding, beadboard in the hallway and bathroom, frames for our mirrors–VERY helpful!

  437. Would love to be able to board and batten through out my home. This would really make the job quicker and easier!

  438. I want some built-in bookcase surrounds for our fireplace and this would be the perfect tool to make it look professional. How fun! Thank you.

  439. I would finally get to upholster my very scratchy straw dining room chairs! After that, who knows what else? Whoo!

  440. Hi! I love all the projects you teach about. You site has become a “go to” for me before I start any painting projects. I love the board and batten. I didn’t know what it was called until I read you post about it, but I have loved that look for a long time. I would love to put it up in my dinind room and up my staircase.

  441. Oh man, my husband and I just bought a house and are in desperate need of one of these!!! We want to put up crown molding in most of the rooms, we want to put up shelves in the office and I desperatly want to make TWO Upholstered headboards!!! We need this!!! :)

  442. So many! Adding crown molding to the dining room, refinishing furniture, fixing the molding around some of our doors…. I’m also an artist and this would be fabulous for some of my mixed media pieces!

  443. It would be wonderful to have a finish nailer for installing the crown molding I’m going to put in my whole condo. It will be a lot of work, but SO worth it. I’m excited to have that little ‘extra’ touch to make everything look finished.

  444. I have been begging my hubby to help me make shelves for the loads of toys in my boys playroom. His excuse is always that he doesn’t have the right tools! With this he would have no good excuses!

  445. WOW – so many. First I’d finally finish putting the baseboards back on. The on to some wonderful Ana White furniture.

  446. I would definatley use the brad nailer to put board and batten in our back entrance area! I also could’ve used it when we framed our National Geographic map a week ago!

  447. We need to replace base molding and add crown. Would love to have this to make the job go smoothly! Thanks for all of the great giveaways :)

  448. I have several furniture-building projects from Ana White that I want to do. First would be making some new bookshelves, followed by some bedframes/headboards. I also have a sofa & new fabric sitting in my garage awaiting spring weather and the purchase of an air compressor & stapler before it gets reupholstered.

  449. Ooooh! Finish nailer, finish nailer! I’ve been dying to get my build on. I’ve been wanting to make a bench from Ana’s plans FOREVAH!

  450. we are putting bead board in the nursery! this would work awesome!!! My husband is also reupholstering a chair. there are a ton of projects since we just bought this neglected house!

  451. I would love a nail gun! We are currently replacing the builder grade carpet in our whole house. In fact, right now my husband is installing solid hardwood treads on our stairs and he had to borrow a nail gun form his Dad! We also have plans for lots of hardwood flooring and molding treatments. (The windows in our house have no molding at all!)

  452. I’m DYING to do some board and batten in our house. A nail gun is one of the only tools that we don’t have! :)

  453. I plan on putting in some new molding in several rooms so the brad nailer would be simply awesome to use! What an amazing offer for this give-away. :-) Sue

  454. Well, the FIRST thing I would do is to recover this gorgeous chair that I have. I haven’t attempted it yet because I don’t have the right tool! I’d love to win this. Thanks for the great contest!

  455. This is incredible, I was just at Home Depot pricing nailers! I am in the beginning stages of building a wood headboard and some built in book cases, so having a nailer would be phenomenal!

  456. I would put up wainscoting in our main hallway, my wife’s been asking me about that for months!

  457. We’re working on several projects right now; baseboard, crown, a window seat… I would LOVE to have this in my repertoire; it’s one of the only tools I don’t have.

  458. I have a chair that is begging to be reupholstered, I even have the fabric for it. I’m also having a friend teach me how to build a banquette for my kitchen, just bought the wood today.
    One of those would come in great finishing up that project. I have more dreamed up as well. Thanks for the giveaway!

  459. We are getting ready to redo our dining room and want to add some wainscoting to the bottom as well as doing some board and batten in our mud room … (we are getting ready to have our 2nd son so these projects are going to be done this summer)

  460. I found 2 amazing chairs for $10 each and they need to be reupholstered. They are so sad right now. :( That Brad nailer would make them very happy though. :)

  461. I have been dying to put up some board and batten. I have just enough confidence under my belt after reading your posts about it. A nail gun would make life much easier.

  462. We just bought a 100+ year old Victorian in need of major renovation, so we could use that sucker everywhere!

  463. We would love this to put up board and batten in the mud room … and to redo our dining room.

  464. I have been tackling a bead board project in my kitchen and now want to do it in three other rooms- this would be the perfect tool to help me convince my hubby to let me tackle it all!!

  465. We are currently installing moldings and French shutters inside our new home! Would love to use that fabulous tool, also we have gazillions of shelving to build in the garage. Thanks for the chance to win. I can hardly wait to see your project!

  466. We have plans to redo our bathroom and want to put wainscoting up. This would come in so handy! Thank you for all your wonderful ideas!!

  467. I would use it to make wall to wall shelving for our growing book collection in our home office/reading lounge. :)

  468. i would use this on all of my current furniture building “projects”! i’m getting up there in my number of projects and need a little easy tool to help it go faster! yay!

  469. There are SOOOO many projects I would love to do. I want to do crown molding in just about every downstairs room. Plus I have some ideas for board and batten in my bathroom and mudroom. Awesome giveaway!

  470. We are in the middle of a dining room redo RIGHT NOW!! and I think I have read every blog on installing board and batten molding!! We are Kilz’n over the previous red it was painted as we speak. Boy, would I love to get my hands on that gun! OH the power :) We just picked up our new dining table that a local antique dealer made out of an old 1800’s door- IT ROCKS!! Can’t wait for the molding to be done too! This is a great giveaway! So many uses for any DIY’er!

  471. I have been putting off upholstering some chair seats and this would be the perfect kick start.

  472. We purchased our home 1 1/2 yrs ago and had to tear out all the flooring along drywall in over half of the house due to water damage. We put in new floors and replaced all the drywall and insulation. Now we are in the process of replacing all the trim we had to throw out…that tool would be fantastic for putting all the new trim back up!

  473. We are finishing our basement this year, so it would be used throughout the whole process!

  474. I hope I get picked, because I have a ton of upholstering to do. I may have gotten in a little over my head with trying to reupholster our sofa- and without the right tools! Thanks for the offer.

  475. Finish nailer for me! Moving into a recently remodeled, but plain jane house soon, and I simply must make it “mine”…since it will be my first ever (at 40-something). It definitely needs some crown molding above the kitchen cabinets…there’s a 5” space that’s too small to be functional and it’ll add some much needed interest. Thanks for the opportunity!!

  476. I would love to win, because there is some trim work I desperately need to get done around our house!

  477. I have been wondering what type of nail gun I should get–I am so intimidated by the big ones I see. My dh isn’t a ‘tool’ man, so whatever DIY projects I do are mine to do. I want to build a closet organizer and my rally ambitious idea is to make a built-in media center/bookshelves.

  478. We are building in the Spring so I have so many uses! New to DIY but would love to use what the “pros” use ;)

  479. I would use this to put up crown molding in our dining room! It has a chair rail, but the crown molding will give it that little something extra! Great contest!

  480. Crown molding in the family room. Board and batten in the powder room. Built in bench in the master bedroom… On and on.

  481. OH MY GARSH! what wouldn’t i do with the brad/nailer/compressor combo? reupholster some chairs, add board and batten in my girls room, add small trim details to some furniture i’m building, etc. please, oh please, oh please :)

  482. Where should I start with everything I would do with the brad/nailer/compressor combo?? Uh, crown molding…finally, upholstery projects, on and on and on. It would definitely be put to good use!

  483. I would put up the bead board wainscoting that I’ve been dying to put in my little girl’s room. with a “book ledge” :)

  484. Ooohhh…. was reupholstering some bar stools yesterday and my old stapler finally kicked the bucket. I would LOVE to make a head board for our guest bedroom. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

  485. My husband and I are in escrow on our first house and I could use this for a million things! I really want to do my daughters room with wainscoating and I also have found some awesome chairs that i would love to reupholster myself!

  486. I really want a “library” of bookcases but will never be able to afford custom shelving. So with a nail gun, I see myself getting used IKEA Billy bookshelves from Craigslist, adding molding to the tops and bottom and painting them to custom make shelving myself. Would love to win this!

  487. ohh. a nail gun? B&B in the entryway and dining room project could be pronounced done with that little baby. Thanks for doing such an awesome giveaway!

  488. I’ve got some furniture to build for both my boys’ rooms and some for my office. This would be soooooo helpful!

  489. I would love to have one of these for the cornice boards I’m upholstering and for the bead board I’m going to hang in my laundry room!!! This is a wonderful give-away! Thank you!

  490. I would use this for making an upholstered headboard, or for making some shelving units in several needs areas in our house! :)

  491. Board and batten in my kitchen/family room with that cool brad nailer! I am so impressed that it has a built in compressor…no more lugging our huge air compressor around to wherever we are “projecting”

  492. I just posted this on my facebook page. Great site found it on Mulberry Crafters Magazine.

  493. This would come in handy finishing all the trim here in my house and update the trim in my rental.

  494. Oh! There are too many projects to count!! But the one I’ve got at the top of my list is to create a custom frame for the wall mirror in our bathroom. It would complete the project! :)

  495. Oh,with that finish nailer….I would finally be able to do the molding and trim in my house!! Been waiting FOREVER to do it!!

  496. I’d love this tool to replace all of our old, chewed-up looking baseboards! Also to do an upholstered headboard.

  497. Board and Batten in my entry way. I just finished picture frame moulding in my dining room by hand and really want a nail gun with compressor for this project. It will cut my time by HOURS!

  498. Just happened to have a chair that needs upholstering that I picked up today. This would make the job so much easier!! Thanks for the chance.

  499. Hmmm….so many choices- I’d probably start with some built-ins in the closets, or trim out the windows.

  500. I would love a nailer to help add some molding to a new room we are building in a basement. Maybe some board and batten in the room.

  501. Oh, what a hard decision that’d be! The brad nailer would be great for making an uphostered headboard (we need one!), but would I wonder if either would work on roofing nails? New shingles are definitely in order this spring after all of the ice and snow this winter in N.D.

  502. My grandparent’s house was just handed down through my family to me, and I could use this for about 5 different projects in every room. I have a teak dining set that needs new upholstery on all of the chairs, crown molding, baseboards, trim, we’re planning wainscoting in at least 2 rooms, and I have lots of projects planned in the garage that I could use this for! It would get SO much use while I update this special home!

  503. This would be wonderful to win. We are finishing our basement and we are putting up the studs, installation and then drywall. This would make it go so much quicker.

  504. Finish up all my half-done projects so I can start (and actually finish) some new ones. Pick me! Pick me!

  505. a chair, a headboard, a bed, a shelf, a deck, should I keep going? I Would LOVE to win this!!!!

  506. What a cool giveaway…I would use it to add a shelf to our board and batten in our kitchen (put up 3 yrs. ago, lol) and some crown molding throughout the house. Sounds great to work with! Thanks for the opportunity!

  507. Wow, amazing giveaway, Kate! I would build a door to my tall, slim open bookcase to conceal the contents of it, as my almost-year-old kitten has gotten big enough to start digging around in it and I sense an imminent disaster coming if she keeps that up! Also, I have an ADORABLE antique vanity stool with cherub appliques on it that needs to be re-nailed, and a new seat cover made for it — this tool would do all of those tasks very easily for me!

    Best,

    Kimberly

  508. I would use it to make my own gift wrapping center and countless other projects…oh I would love it…

  509. What an awesome give away. I would use the nailer for upholstering some seat covers. VERY Cool! Love what you do, Kate! Very inspiring and happy 2 year anniversary for your blog!

  510. What a great giveaway! I can think of tons of things I would use it for. First, fixing some picture frames that I have been hanging on to forever.

  511. I have needed a nail gun so many times. Mainly for baseboards or trim around doors. This would be great!

  512. We just built a new house and have not started the trim work or the crown moulding. This tool would be prefect!

  513. My dining room is screaming for some wainscoting! What a fabulous giveaway! Thanks, Kate!

  514. Hmmm…I would use it for exactly what you suggested, wall trim, wainscoating. Assuming I have the guts to start, maybe a tool like this would bolster my courage.

  515. I want this! Our house is a work in progress and we are constantly having to borrow tools from friends. We recently put casing around our main living room window and had to borrow a nail gun/compressor for the job. We only got one done, but there many more windows that need cased. And I want to do chair railing in our dining room.

  516. It would help in our bathroom redo we are fixing to tackle. Puting up new crown molding, beadboard, and baseboards. That would be awesome!! Thanks for the chance!

  517. If I won, I would use the brad nailer to reupholster my couch! It’s in desperate need of a face lift.

  518. I would love the 2 1/2” finish nailer to put baseboard in our living room and dining room since the previous owners tore it out.

  519. I have a bench to reupholster, and oh this would be so much nicer than the hend-help stapler. Plus I might even convince someone that I could tackle a wainscot or two!

  520. Oh what a generous giveaway!! I have been wanting to beadboard on my ceilings. . over the popcorn ceiling. I am sure this would make the project go much faster.
    Oh I would be sooo excited to win!

  521. I would love a nailer to build a head board and some shelving for our bedroom! Right now our unborn child has better bedroom furniture than we do!

  522. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve borrowed tools like this from friends! I could use it in a million different ways and my hubby would be jealous!

  523. I would put wainscoting along my stairs! I’ve seen it everywhere and I think it looks FABULOUS!

  524. I would start/finish crown molding with lighitng above to shine on the ceiling! Beautiful!

    This is a lovely giveaway!

  525. So many possibilities…I have dining room chairs that need to be reupholstered, headboards I want to redo, molding that needs to be installed in my daughter’s room..

  526. I would use the brad nailer to put up wainscoating in my son’s room. My husband says “impossible you can’t do it” so of course I will make it happen by myself!!!

  527. i would love to make a headboard, doll beds for my girls dolls, and install crown molding in my bedroom with this tool!!!!

  528. I would use the brad nailer to : 1. add shelves to an old wardrobe 2. finally building an upholstered headboard for the guest bedroom, 3 build bookcase 4. add bead board to the guest bathroom 5. build floating shelves. 6. I’m sure I can find three more projects to tack in my house :)

  529. My husband and I just now are starting to do some work on our first home we bought a year ago and we would love to be able to redo the baseboards with that nail gun :-)

  530. I would use it for my long list of home improvements, but I would start with putting up molding in my daughters room. I’ve needed to finish it for two years.

  531. I want to put up a chair rail and frame moulding as well as crown moulding in my dining room – one of those projects that’s been in my plans for a long time, but I need more tools to git ‘er done

  532. I would love to do some board and batten treatment myself! I’d start with either the dining room or the guest bathroom. I’d also really like to make some shelves for pictures to sit on. Thanks! I’m sure the issue will look fantastic, I’m looking forward to it.

  533. I would love to win and put up batten and board at my place and crown molding at my boyfriends. I would be amazing. I cannot wait to see the photo shoot next winter….so long. :)

  534. I’d love to be entered, please!
    We are in the midst of remodeling several rooms in our house and I would use it for the bead board and trim.

  535. I’d probably go for the finish nailer. The previous owners of our home seemed bent on fooling potential buyers. The house looked pretty when we purchased it and the remodel did just what it was supposed to do. Boy were we duped! So…there is a LOT of trim we need to refinish and all sorts of other fun projects. That tool would come in handy.

  536. We are putting waintscoting in the bathroom and board and batten in the nursery in the very near future. To win the brad nailer would be a dream come true for my hubby and I. We moved into our house two years ago, yet (sadly) it seems our tool collection hasn’t really grown as much as we’d like.

  537. Oh, so many ideas! But first would be to finish my built-in jewelry cabinet and then redo the bathroom molding that I attempted to do with just a plain hammer and nails (not pretty).

  538. I would use the ‘Brad’ to create the tray-ceiling-inspired focal wall I’ve been wanting to add to my living room for while now. With this tool, we’d have no excuses!

  539. Just bought my first house, move in next month. It needs lots of help. I would love to frame out the windows and add moulding. Just two of the multiple things that need to be done. I’m looking forward to it.

  540. Where to even begin? Reupholster my headboard, add wainscot the guest bath and the foyer, recover dining chairs…the list goes on and on! Such a fabulous giveaway!

  541. The brad nailer/compressor would come in handy for the crown molder I’m about to install in my house. Woo hoo!

  542. OH NEAT! :-) Love this giveaway. thanks for the chance to win!

    I’d use it on refinishing furniture or frames or … a million different things!!

  543. I’d nail my RETIRED husband to his recliner so I can get back to being the Empress of my Home and paint , move, sell or trade anything I’d like.

  544. the hubs and I would love to build a farm table for our new breakfast nook–and I’d looooove to try my hand at a new headboard, too! great giveaway, thanks!!

  545. We need to do both here at our house! But, I am really excited to get started on updating my boys/guest bathroom. I am doing a classic nautical theme with a boarded ceiling & lots of trim work! I am so ready to get started-I’ve just been needing to get the right tools! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  546. Oh, where to begin! I would put up board & batten in my new baby’s room. I would put crown molding everywhere in our home, I would use it to reupholster several pieces I have hanging around & I’m sure I would come up with other things to use it for! :) Thanks for the giveaway CG!!

  547. I would LOVE the brad nailer/compressor combo! I’d use it to replace the plain chair rail and bead board with some fresher looking board and batten in my bathroom. Then I’d tackle the rest of the house!

  548. I would finish the trim in my kitchen. It has been waiting to be completed for the past 10 years.

  549. I would start by using the brad nailer to build a tufted headboard and then I would reupholster my dining chairs. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  550. Since we are ripping apart our entire house BOTH of those tools would be so cool! But I think I’d finish my master closet…put a sliding barn door on it then head to the dinning room and put up the board and batten style wood work…and then……..and then I could go on and on but I’ll spare you the details! LOL!

  551. Would LOVE to have this! I just had to borrow a friend’s to make a storage bed for my daughter. Want to make new bathroom cabinets and do some board & batten treatments in some rooms. I need to recover our dining room chairs too. The list is endless!!!

  552. I’d love to finally put up baseboard in the kitchen. I removed it in 2005 and it’s never made it back!

  553. The diXymister and I have a long list of weekend warrior projects planned. If I’m the lucky winner, I could tackle some of them myself with that gal-friendly brad nailer combo (beadboard, crown, trim, upholstery) ~ how eXciting!

  554. What a wonderful giveaway! We have a dining room waiting for wainscotting and a WHOLE house of dark trim that needs to be replaced. Fingers crossed!

  555. This is exactly the giveaway to revolutionize my home imporovements. I am planning on putting up dental molding in my living/kitchen area. Just the thought of hammering in all those nails makes me want to forget the project. I love that the small nail gun comes with a compressor; they are expensive and usually really heavy. Hopefully I win!

  556. Oh, my, what wouldn’t I nail to the wall? I’m working on my laundry room now…. I wonder if I would get it in time to finish it?

  557. Oh, I’m drooling over these! I’m planning out a full wall installation of wood paneling and layered wood blocks, as well as reupholstering an antique bedframe. I would love these – SO much fun!

  558. OMG what a great giveaway….I have wanted one of these forever. I just finished putting up wainscotting and this tool would have been very handy. It would be great to use to add the much needed crown moulding.

  559. I have about a zillion things to reupholster and would LOVE the brad nailer/compressor would make it easier…especially with the shoulder injury I chose to ignore! But specifically, there is a chair sitting in my basement that is in about 20 pieces that needs to be finished. I have everything to do it except the muscle power.

  560. Awesome Giveaway! I would definitely like to do crown molding in the living room. 2 1/2 ” Nail Finisher please.

  561. Well I am no lucky duck but I can’t resist this one. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this. I would put up trim around my wall-mounted chalkboard, put up some chair rail, frame in some craft projects I have half finished, oh and so much more. I have been dying for one!

  562. Just facebooked it and am crossing my fingers! This would revolutionize my projects! Thanks for the chance!

  563. We just moved into a new home, that I would love to put up crown molding and wainscotting in the bedrooms.

  564. I would love to finish the beadboard in my dining room and reupholster several chairs around here!

  565. I DESPERATELY need a headboard, like the tufted ones featured here. I would love to use it for this!

    Thanks you so so much!

  566. Well, since there have been about a billion comments so far, I don’t stand a chance, but I’ll give it a try anyway. We’re building a new house this year, so I’d choose the finish nailer so that I can build myself a room full of bookcases. There’s no room in the budget to hire a carpenter to build my library, so I’m going to have to do it myself. I can just see myself now, knee deep in this project and going strong….and then my husband will come into the room and say, with puppy dog eyes, “Honey, can you turn off the compressor so I can get some sleep?”

    Gosh, myabe it would be just as well if I didn’t win.

  567. I am dying to put up board and batten in my dining room. I’ve got it all planned for this spring, and this would definitely save the budget!

  568. i have sooo many projects on my list…Crown molding, wainscotting, window trim and a headboard for my master bedroom. Ha! just to name a few :)

  569. I would use the nailer to add new cabinets in our kitchen. I have also been wanting to build a bench to go at the foot of our bed. My husband & I were just admiring one of these handy-dandies at the store last week!

  570. I would redo out stairs with one of these bad boys. I have a small one but the big one with the built in stud finder WHAT?? that is awesome!

  571. I’d love the finish nailer. We have plans to put crown molding up throughout the house & install a system in our master closet.

  572. As a single mom living in a house built in 1960…I have too many projects to list…maybe replacing paneling. I am so thankful to have seen you on Nate’s show, you give me so much inspiration!

  573. Oh! Please pick me!!! I am going to add wainscotting to my living room and some similar treatment up my stairs. I want to put nice thick moldings around two big open doorways in our lower level, and I am also preparing for our first son to be born in the spring, and looove the board and batten treatment you are doing in your boy’s room. (I may need to copy that!) So, I could really use this!!!

  574. We’ll be redoing our floors soon and this will come in handy for all the baseboard and quarter round installation we’ll be doing!!!

  575. What a great giveaway! I would love to use this for nailing some MDF to an accent wall in our bedroom to give our bedtime retreat a nice beachy cottage feel :)

  576. We would like to put some bead board up in our front room. This would be perfect for me to be able to do my part. Thanks for the chance.

  577. Wow – I think I would use that for multiple projects!! I would love to build some bookshelves. Thanks!!

  578. Since I graduate this May from school, I decided to add my bedroom to my list of DIY projects and I’m hitting that first! I need a relaxing and peaceful place to go to after working on or completing my like of DIY, taking care of my daughter, working, etc. So I decided I want to make a Queen Anne Style/Wingback Couch headboard. Right now I’m in search of a Free to very low priced sofa/couch…to start this project. I’d be reupholstering the whole thing after cutting out the “seat” part of it and the Brad or finish nailer would definitely come in handy!!

  579. What a super duper giveaway! Hubby and I are getting ready to repaint our main floor and could really use one of these tools to help replace the baseboard trims!

  580. some built ins in my living room the my hubby has promised fro the last two years….would love to have this to help move the project along…

  581. I’ve been itching to make some corner bench/storage seating for our dining room. The 2 ½” Finish Nailer would be awesome! Maybe then I’d actually get it done.

  582. I have been wanting to add beadboard behind some shelving and to add wainscoting to my bathroom for a while now. Having a tool to help with the job would give me the motivation to work on it instead of just thinking about it! Thanks for a chance to win.

  583. I had kitchen chairs built last spring and they put a horrible 70s material on the seats – I really want to reupholster them!

  584. How would I NOT use this tool? I have a mile-long DIY To Do List where this would come in handy – things like reupholstery, bead board, moulding, etc. Also, I am currently in the process of volunteering to help a friend who owns a small, local boutique shop in a reconfigured cottage. The economy has negatively affected her business such that she needs all of the help she can get to spruce things up and encourage new business. Oh, please let me win!

  585. We are planning on replacing all of the baseboards in our house…so this would be perfect!

  586. I have about a hundred projects I’d like to have a nailer for! I borrowed one for a frame for a giant map and have several reupholstery projects waiting. Fantastic giveaway!

  587. What wouldn’t I use it for? I would use it to install a drop ceiling in my basement, crown moulding in my master bath, crown moulding in my living room, re-cover some chairs, install a ‘frame’ around my bathroom mirror, maybe even build a play-yard for the tykes.

  588. I am replacing all of the builder grade moulding with flatstock and it is taking me FOR-EVAH with my hammer and punch. I would LOVE this and it would probably save me a million hours!

  589. Ohhh I sooo want one of these!! I will be putting wainscoting in our entry and dining… to being with at least! :)

  590. What WOULDN’T I do with it? I’m hoping to become a first time homebuyer in the next couple months and have a ton of project ideas in mind! But a pretty turquoise headboard is definitely at the top of the list!

  591. I’m laughing to myself as I see that I am ONLY #992 on the comments!!!! But, what the hey…I can’t even begin to list all I want to get done around here that a brad or finishnailer would come in handy for! I’ve got a chairrail to finish putting up in my bathroom to cap off beadboard, one in the hall way as well, more beadboard I’d like to install, and bookshelves/built-ins galore:) Not much on my agenda this year, is it? I have to say, if I actually win this out of this many people, someone may have to help me while I use it because every time I look at it I’ll laugh!

  592. The brad nailer would so get my butt in gear to put up wainscoting… before baby number three arrives!

  593. I would love the brad ,so many projects and I am over 50 so I think its time for an upgrade from the good ole hammer and finish nails , posted it on facebook also ,thats how bad I want it .

  594. I’d get the trim on all the doors in my house! It would actually get done, which would be a wonderful thing. Hope you pick me!

  595. I would love to put in new baseboards in the kitchen…so that I don’t have to deal with painting them while they are up! (I really should have ripped them out before I redid the floor….oops!)

  596. We just renovated a little house and still have to install trim around all the windows and doors. Once that is done we would like to build built-in shelving. I could list several projects that I have floating around in my head for the future, but I won’t go into that here. It would be great to win; it would definitely help with the budget as we do not have a nail gun yet.

  597. We are planning to build a home. We have just bought some property. We are wanting to do the finishing work. The brad nailer would be great for us. Thank you for the chance to win.

  598. What a wonderful giveaway!!! I would use the brad nailer for a very sad ottoman that is in desperate need of reulholstering!!!

  599. What a generous offer. We are in the process of purchasing a house so there would be a multitude of projects including making a headboard for our new guest room.

  600. Oh, the list is endless what I could use this for. I would start in my second daughter’s nursery which I am starting on and hoping to complete before she arrives in June…then I’d move to the office/playroom that I must get finished so I can get some work done without my 18 month old re-filing my important papers…then to the family room. Everything is being refurbished from Goodwill and CL finds. But oh how I would love to put trim in the nursery….here’s to hoping for a great birthday present for myself that fits in the budget!

  601. Ever since I saw the board and batten project you did at your friends I’ve wanted to do it in my dinning room!

  602. Wow!! so many options!! I would use it to make picture frames, upholster my dining chairs, build birdhouses.. What a great tool!!!

  603. I would chose the big gun. I’ve always wanted to upholster something and this sure would be helpfule. Should I win, I’d be on Craigslist so fast looking for a project to recover!!!

  604. Our house’s previous owners started to add crown molding around the house, but only finished 1 1/2 room. I would love to have a finish nailer to complete the project!

  605. What an amazing giveaway. Currently we are in the beginning phases of building a house so not a lot of home improvement going on right now. BUT I am making my list of DIY furniture and moldings that I can add myself. The finish nailer would get a lot of love in our home!

  606. How amazingly awesome this nailer would be-I would take on a multitude of projects including baseboards, board and batten, making some shelves, etc.

  607. I would use the brad nailer to make a headboard for my daughter’s soon-to-be “big girl” bed.

  608. I have dining room chairs that I want to reupholster, and I’d love to do board and batten in my dining room too!

  609. I would love one of these! I have a set of dining chairs waiting to be upholstered, and I would consider following your board and batten tutorial with it as well.

  610. Oh.my.gosh what an amazing giveaway!!! If I had a tool like this you could bet that I would attempt recovering the dining room chairs AND installing wainscoting in my daughter’s room! I would love to do crown molding too so the choice betweenyhe two would be hard but that compressor sounds so amazingly useful!! I love tools like this! Thanks!

  611. We still have trim to attach from our new kitchen floors that were put down last summer!! I would love a brad nailer/compressor combo or the 2 ½” Finish Nailer! I have my fingers crossed.

  612. We painted a large area in our playroom with chalkboard paint and have yet to frame it out. We have the wood but were debating on how to affix it – glue or nails…Would love to finish this project up!

    Then on to wainscotting the childrens bathroom!

  613. Hello :D Thank you so much for the chance to win! That brad nailer would definitely come in handy for my tiny-little-useless-closet transformed into a built-in-bookcase. Cheers!
    Trudy

  614. I just recently complete a play kitchen…the smaller one would have been perfect for this project! I would love to win one!

  615. I have a couple of projects (headboard, reupholster some furniture, etc) for our new house!

  616. this would be perfect for 2 upcoming projects!!! an upholstered ottoman and head board ;)

  617. I have been dreaming of adding board and batten to my powder room. With this tool and your tutorial I will be good to go!

  618. I would use the finish nailer to build the shelves we have been planning for awhile to hold my husband’s massive CD collection. We borrowed one for our last furniture building project and it is our lack of one that has kept us from starting the next project.

  619. I would love to use one for the upholstered valance boards I make for family and friends…not to mention the crown molding that is coming loose in some spots.

  620. I’m always having to take projects into my own hands around my house, and I really would like to put up some board and batten in my sons room, among many other projects. So I’d love the finish nailer!

  621. I am making a wooden valance for my daughter’s room. Also adding crown molding too a cabinets. The list goes on and on. Thanks for the inspiration for give us DIY girls!

  622. I am just about ready to install molding on the stairway and some board and batten to liven it up a bit. How grand would it be to have just the right tool.

  623. I would love to have a finish nailer so I can get the last stack of crown molding and baseboards sitting in my garage up on the walls and have my new house finished!

  624. What would I do around the house with this brad nailer? Everything! I live in a c. 1904 Victorian/Craftsman farmhouse that has been lovingly restored for 15 years. What is NOT done is the many projects that require finish nailer.

    I could list them all here but the projects are numerous. My real answer is “hush up DH – who has been asking for one for three years running.

  625. How fantastic! I would install beadboard or maybe V-groove in the basement to elevate it from “Cave Room” to a “Fave Room!!”

  626. I have been wanting to do a new headboard of some sort. This would be a handy tool to have.

  627. my husband just made a first attempt at beadboard. We’re really excited with the results! But I know he’d be even more excited to try more projects like this if he had a power tool to make it easier :)

  628. Batten and board for my family room and upholstered headboards for my boys’ beds for sure.
    I always wanted a power tool like the brad nailer for easy use.:)

  629. This is the best giveaway EVER!
    We are in the process of refinishing our hardwoods and this would be great for putting the quarter round back down. PICK ME!!!

  630. I really want to make an upholstered headboard AND recover my dining room chairs.. My husband doesn’t think I can do it. Apparently he doesn’t appreciate all the CG education I’ve gotten over the past year and a half!!

  631. I would use this nailgun for my first attempt at installing DIY wainscoating!!! (And uphostering a DIY headboard and hanging drywall in our unfinished basement among other things).

  632. I would love to put some wainscoting going up our stairs! This is an awesome giveaway!!!!!

  633. We are starting a basement remodel this spring and are hoping to do our own board and batten project down there as well. This tool would be so nice for that!

  634. I’ve been wanting to make a new bed frame and headboard. This would make it oh so much easier

  635. So many projects come to mind! Crown molding, a kitchen project, board and batten on the staircase, and building a wooden screen in the backyard.

  636. I would start with the Board and Batten treatment in my kids’ playroom to make it look a little more “grown up.” If that was a success, I would probably trim out every room in my house!!

  637. We really need to finish putting up trim in a covered patio! This looks perfect for DIY.

  638. I would totally go to town on crown olding to hide the not-so-perfect spots where the wall meets the ceiling!

  639. I’m planning on making an upholstered bed soon and the nailer/stapler would be ideal!

  640. Me and my husband would build new cabinets in our kitchen. Plus there’s TONS of little things I could get him to do once he had the right tools. :D

  641. We just bought our first house (yay!), so I’d really love to try my hand at installing some Wainscoating.

  642. I would love to use it for upholstering a headboard for my king bed… at the moment it’s just sitting on a frame. Such a great tool!

  643. I have a long list of home projects I want to do – crown moulding would be first!!! The past few weekends we have been working on organizing our garage, including building a large loft area for stroage!

  644. Where to begin with the nailer..1. Board and batten project in my dining room. 2. Crown molding project in my kitchen. 3. Reupholster my antique moon loveseat. I could go on.

  645. I would putter around the house nailing all sorts of things, but I really want to start upholstering my own furniture!

  646. What wouldn’t I use it for!? My boyfriend and I are renovating our 111 year old house and some of the projects on my list include board and batten, crown, building built-in bookcases, upholstering old furniture and my boyfriend is starting to learn how to build new furniture. New tools would be VERY helpful!

  647. Omigosh we need this sooo badly!!! I would absolutely use this ALL over the house.. but if I had to pick a project to start with I would say replacing all the baseboards and door jam molding. The dogs and cats have destroyed over time. I’ve trained them now… . so I can replace without fear.

  648. Seriously? Fantastic giveaway! I’ll be replacing our builder-basic baseboards and casings this spring, and tackling a paneling project in our office as well. This would be a HUGE help!

  649. Wow…the sky is the limit! The first project I would tackle is beadboard in my son’s big boy bedroom!

  650. Oooh…the top two projects on my list are a set of entryway lockers and come crown molding!!!

  651. There is so much that I would love to use it for! First, crown molding in all the bedrooms, then I want to make some shelves for my family pics to go in the living room.

  652. I would finish the trim in the basement – we have had the supplies for 2 years but still no progress! Maybe the correct tools will inspire completion….

  653. How fun!!! I’ve wanted to try crown moulding, but have been intimidated, this is exactly what I need to give me a little push!

  654. oh my. we just moved cross-country to florida (from california) and bought our very first home so i have a boatload of projects i could use this gun for. new baseboards and molding (doors, windows, ceilings) for the home and some board and batten for the loft and powder room. would be cool to work on some smaller wood crafts too!

  655. The trim in my basement… been waiting for my dad to come back with his tools and help me, but boy would it be fun to have it done without him and surprise him next time he comes to work errrr… I mean visit!

  656. We will be transforming our unused Dining Room into a playroom for our son. We will be putting up Bead-board to protect the walls and allow for it to look modern as well. :)

  657. OH MY GOODNESS! I would just LOVE winning the nail/brad/staple gun! I would use them to do the wainscoting in my bathrooms and dining room and the stapling thingy for reupholstering my 5 pieces of furniture! It would make it sooo quick if I had the stapler and air compressor. Seriously. Super quick! PICK ME PICK ME! lol. I am also posting this on my facebook page!!!

  658. Looks like we may very well be moving shortly – which would mean a chance to do all sorts of projects. I think maybe a padded headboard would look nice in the new place. Hubby isn’t much into the Ikea Lack shelf that’s above our bed now. Did I mention Monday is my birthday – Reallyit is ! Dee

  659. I want to do board and batten with a ledge in the living room and upstairs bath. Would LOVE this tool!

  660. I am so wanting to to board and batten in my family room. Even took down all the wall art and re hung to go above the line I drew for the top of the rail. But alas, DH is not quite on board yet. That always takes a little work “)

  661. I am getting ready to move into a fixer up starter house… Nothing structurally wrong, but cosmetically it looks like it hasn’t changed since the sixties. I’ll definitely need this to replace all the molding, place some wainscoting in my dining room, and replacing the old outdated cabinets.

    I’ve got a bit of work ahead of me. This would be a complete lifesaver!

  662. I’d finally update the mudroom and add half walls of board and batten. Then I’d have something architecturally interesting in my otherwise plain room!

  663. OH, I would totally add some chair rail or board and batten to my office walls. They are UG.LY! Woohoo, thanks for the chance!

  664. We are renovating our “new” home which dates back to 1845. There are a millon projects I have on my “to do” list that a brand nailer would come in very handy with. I believe I would start with the wainscot in the kitchen.

  665. We are getting ready to redo our bathroom and we could really use it to install new baseboards and new crown molding. Yeah!

  666. Oh, I would love both of these! Especially , I think the finish nailer!! I have dreams of updating my home with beautiful molding, board and batten, bead board.
    This would be so fun!

  667. My wife and I have been working through projects in our house and we have a TON of projects that could use this power nailer. Before we moved in the house sat with the heat off and the woodwork warped, and now we have ALOT of moulding and cabinets that are loose and need to be popped back into place with a power nailer.

  668. I would love to have both the brad nailer and the finish nailer, But i think i would find more use with the brad mailer. Right now i would finish a project i started in my kitchen. I need to add trim around the chalkboard I painted on one of the walls. I also would love to put beadbaord or wainscotting in the kitchen.

  669. Brad nailer would be handy to do my daughter’s headboard…and several other projects I need to get started on!

  670. I can’t tell you just one project, I have several in mind already! We want to put bead board in my daughter’s bathroom, make a bookcase under my unused kitchen desk, and make a bench entry way seat to catch all the junk that normally sits in a chair at the kitchen table. This gun would really help me to get all those projects done!

  671. with a finishing nailer we would either install the pallet wall we’re dreaming about or finish the last touches on our chickens’ fence for their pen!

  672. Would use them to put up shiplap siding in my downstairs powder room to cover up ugly walls.

  673. My husband was just saying he’d like a finish nailer – and I’d like the things he could get done with it, especially crown moulding!

  674. I would attach so many projects in my house with the Brad nailer & stapler! I love to add wainscotting to my dining room, and I’m also going to be recovering a settee soon! THIS IS A FANTASTIC GIVEAWAY!

  675. We need to do crown moulding AND wainscoting in a few areas of the house, so either one of these would be awesome! I’d have to go with the nailer, I think that’d make the Hubby happier :)

  676. I would be in seventh heaven to own a nailer! We have borrowed them in the past, most recently to re-attach the baseboards in our entryway after I did some insulation work for the winter. But the option for a stapler as well! I would re-cover all of my dining room chairs!

  677. I share a bedroom with my 3 year old and I’ve recently begun making changes in an effort to create better Feng Shui. I help my mother care for my father who suffered 3 strokes over a year ago. Living in the home of my parents isn’t exactly what I had planned, but family comes first. Your blog inspired me to do many things on a shoestring budget to create more peace and harmony, and feel like my space within this dwelling is something I can be proud of…in spite of the cramped quarters. Some projects, however, require professional tools. The Campbell Hausfeld 18 gauge 2-in-1 Brad Nailer & Stapler is all I need to make two fabric headboards, add shelving to maximize the small size of the closet, reupholster a couple chairs, breathe new life into an old chest of drawers, and mount several crafty touches on the wall. I know once I have the CH nailer & stapler the project list will expand to other parts of the house…as my mother is sure to be inspired, too. I’ll be crossing my fingers. Thanks for the opportunity. Cheers! :O)

  678. I will be replacing ALL the builders floor molding in my entire house and putting in something more substantial so this would definitely come in handy. Can’t wait to see who wins!

  679. We are working on the nursery for our first child, a daughter. We are removing old/ugly wood paneling and drywalling the room. I dream of wainscotting the room and this would certainly help. Not to mention me and my husband live in a 50’s era home and are slowly making into our dream home (which means an endless list of projects!) Pick me, please!!

  680. I would complete so many projects my cheap stapler isn’t much help with. But I would love to add crown moulding to my 100 year old home!

  681. I love, love, love your blog, I always visit daily and it is such a treat. My husband doesn’t know it yet but we will be installing crown molding in the powder room!!!

  682. Can you not post my last comment with my last name? Thanks!

    I would love to try board and batten in my kids’ room. It used to be a bonus room so it is big. I think it would add a lot of character to the room.

  683. I have lots of projects I would love to use this on. But I think I would start with recovering our patio chairs with fun fabric in hopes it would inspire spring to come.

  684. I have a wingback chair and yards of linen just waiting for an upholstery project! The brad nailer would make things go SO.MUCH.FASTER!

  685. Oh, what I could do with a nailer!!! Trim projects, recovering furniture, maybe try board and batten!!! I would LOVE one of these things!!!

  686. The finish nailer would be great for installing trim around our recently-painted medicine cabinet. Thanks for the giveaway! Catherine

  687. We are getting ready to put trim boxes in our dining room. Either one would be perfect for this job. I love how you are so good with power tools. Your blog is fantastic. Can’t wait until the Christmas post.

  688. I have been dying to try a board and batten project. The nail gun with compressor would make it SO much easier! Thanks for a great giveaway!

  689. We are wanting to frame out some of our plain windows in the house and install some beadboard in the dining room. This would be perfect for those (and a million more) projects!

  690. If I win, the to do list will take up the whole Fridge! The finish nailer would be excellent for building my dream desk. Pick me random.org

  691. Crown moulding, hands down! Thanks for the giveaway and the encouragement to take on this project!!

  692. Yesterday I sat on my stairs and planned out my foyer/stair makeover. It involves crown moulding so the nailer would be perfect!

  693. I think some tall wainscotting might be the answer to the terrible walls left behind by de-wallpapering our powder room….I’d love either nailer though! I can think of a milion uses!

  694. I can’t begin to list all the ways I would use this tool! I’ve coveted it for about 20 years. I cut my own wood to save money when tole painting and I’m a teacher that likes to see my kids use their math, reading, drawing, and science skills to create items. Using this would be so much more time effiecent and neater than using glue (which I hate)! I’m crossing my fingers!

  695. i have 6 dining chairs which have bleach stains,gravy strains, milk , juice..etc etc.. my husband and i did manage to reupholster 2 chairs but waaayy too much work. and my chairs have fabric on the backs as well and not to forget the trim.. so theres a lot of work. and crown moulding …. cant wait to get that done. and stairs redo. ::)

  696. my husband and i would put up moulding and wainscotting in our formal dining room- we’ve been planning this since we bought our house and need a nail gun to help us get our job done!!

  697. We are planning on adding crown moulding throughout our house this summer. That nailer would come in handy. I’m sure once we have one there, additional projects will pop into our minds.

  698. I have some wainscotting that I am dying to put up in my daughter’s room. Plus I think I could come up with several more projects to do too :)

  699. I would first use it on a project that I was supposed to have finished before Christmas to give as gifts. I’m making or taking old picture frames and turning them into magnetic/chalk boards. As well as some old mirrors and some pretty pieces of trim that I have. Thanks for hosting such a wonderful giveaway!!!

  700. I would love to win the 2 ½” Finish Nailer in order to start building some sturdy furniture & home decor accents (book ends). Thanks!!

  701. We’d finally finish the crown molding project. And crank up for the board and batten project in DS’s bedroom in the fall. Great giveaway!

  702. I would be interested in the 2-in-1 Brad Nailer & Stapler. I will be upholstering a full-size bed for our spare guest room and would love this give-away! Thanks, Kate for all of your inspiration and wonderful blog!

  703. I would use this all over my house. We bought an ancient home 2 years ago and are finally up to starting the remodelling projects. I have a lot of baseboards to put up and this tool would be so handy!

  704. Easily the worst job around is nailing in crown molding by hand! The 2 in 1 gun would be a dream come true. No more accidentally hitting your fingers or denting the molding. Great idea for a giveaway!

  705. I’ve been dreaming about buying a nailer and air comp so that I could board and batten my entryway and living room. I also have a lot of trim work I would use it for. Thank you!!

  706. We just bought a new house and there are a plethora of projects this would be a big help on.

  707. Oh, I would love to install my new baseboards with the finish nailer! Thanks so much Kate and Campbell Hausfeld!

  708. We just bought a 100+ year old house 3 days ago (literally), and it needs to be completely renovated. We could use one of these for EVERYTHING – crown moldings in all the rooms, chair rail in the dining room, wainscoting in the bathroom. We have so many projects ahead of us, I couldn’t even pick just one!

  709. I am just moving out on my own – I have a TON of furniture needs and would love the brad nailer/compressor combo because it would make finishing the furniture SO much quicker! I already made a couple of bookcases and had to glue, then drill pilot holes, then hand nail each of the brads on to the trim. It was time consuming!!

  710. I’d love to put crown molding in the bedrooms (other rooms done!) And I’d love to not have to nail in everything by hand! I guess the finish nailer would be the better choice.

  711. We are planning a bookcase/fireplace project for our family room. Either nailer would be great. I would like the brad nailer for the additional projects I have running through my mind.

  712. We are installing quarter round all over our house so that is my project we are slowly but surely getting done!

  713. We have trim that’s been 1/2 finished in my bedroom for about 8 months now- my husband got tired of using a normal hammer. Would love to finally have a reason (new tool!) for him to finally finish!

  714. Ooohhh so many things to do with that brad nailer gun! I have a chair that I have been dying to recover and a small bookshelf to build and a headboard to cover and, well, you get the idea!

  715. I love the board and batten paneling that is so popular now. That is what I would need a nailer for. My parents house is a turn of the century bungalow. In the 60s they removed the board and batten and installed the ugliest paneling you could possibly imagine. And they removed the built in china cupboard and replaced it with super ugly cabinets with plywood doors. The paneling has since been removed, but I would love to put back the tall board and batten with the plate rail moulding on top, like it originally had. Same for the built in china cabinet that had a pass-thru to the butlers pantry. That had so much character then it does now.

  716. My husband and I would love to have this tool to finish the baseboards around our house or to build a couple of bookcases for my girls.

  717. I have tons of trim projects and small building projects I’ve been waiting to do once I get a small nail gun/compressor combo! This would be perfect!!!

  718. I would finish the walls beside my staircase with some bead board or some type of wood, which would be painted white. I would also install crown molding throughout the entire upstairs of our home. I would also like to build some small birdhouses for the yard. Finally, for my garden, I would build some raised bed planting boxes for herbs and small vegetables with a new nails, and such. This would be a great giveaway, and I would be so pleased and proud to call it my own. Thanks so much for your beautiful blog! Shelley

  719. I’d love to replace all the baseboards in my house (the last owners put in crown moldings but left us junky baseboards – you can’t win them all!). :)

  720. I’d use it for the board and batten project I’m working on in our downstairs bathroom.. we’re going from an 80’s cave, courtesy of the former owners, to a light and calming see blue/green/white color scheme. Much nicer!

  721. I would use this to transform an old TV cabinet into a play kitchen and 80 million other things too! Great product!

  722. I kid you not when I say that my entire house is wood paneling. My goal for the Spring is to put up new walls in my kitchen (1/4 inch drywall over the paneling) – that finish nailer would definitely come in handy for that project! What an awesome giveaway :)

  723. I would love to finish putting up crown molding in our master bedroom or possibly tackle some board and batten.

  724. I would use it for building a table that I want to make and also to put crown molding around my living room! :D

  725. I want to install bead board in a couple rooms in my home along with some crown molding!

  726. We just started the arduous task of replacing all of our oak trim & closet doors with white trim & doors. I could weep at the thought of having the brad nailer.

  727. I’d love to wrap my hands around this lovely nailer so that I could finally put up some birch wood/casing moulding around the newly opened entryway to my tiny kitchen. I’ve done most of the work on my kitchen, but just have this final crowning bit to get it all wrapped up. Pick me Random.org!

  728. oh jeeze… how about crown and also some board and batten. i hope i win. ill be 41 tomorrow.

  729. I would use the brad nailer to finish reupholstering my favorite reading chair that I pulled apart weeks ago. I would also use it to help my husband with all of the wood working projects that I ask him to do (from a bookcase to a cedar chest).

  730. Board & batten in my “woman cave” and reupholster a cushioned bench for my entry-way in my new house.

  731. with the finish nailer we’d do mouldings and door jambs and with the brad nailer we’d finish with our homemade picture frames!

  732. What couldn’t I do with this? I could finish all of the trim work I’ve been putting off and I could finally put up the bead board in the bathroom I’ve been wanting to do since I moved into my house.

  733. I’d like to revamp our entryway by building a bench and hanging shelves with a hooks for coats. Right now there is a rug in our entry way and maybe some dirty shoes… it needs a boost!

  734. It’s not original, but I am dying to try some board and batten on my stairs. This would be the perfect kick in the pants to get me started!

  735. i’d love to reupholster my mom’s old kitchen chairs she’s giving me! those babies need to be given a new life – they’ve gone through 4 different moves/4 houses and are 14 years old.

  736. I bought the LARGE map that you have in your playroom and I’ve hung it on our wall, but I need the nail gun to put the frame up!! :-)

  737. My first order of business in my new house will be installing board and batten. This nail gun will be perfect since I don’t have one!

  738. Woah, what an awesome giveaway!! I’d have to ask the man which he’d love. It’s only fair. :) And CONGRATS on your shoot!! That’s so exciting!
    xo
    shaunna :)

  739. I actually am planning to do a similar treatment in my entryway but was waiting for my birthday to get a finish nailer! Hopefully I win this and could start sooner!

  740. I would love to put up some beadboard under a chair rail and the brad nailer would be perfect!

  741. Crown moulding, hands down. It’s something I really think I could do, but I know a nail gun would make it go so much more quickly!

  742. Just getting ready to do a board and batten treatment in the mudroom (with lots of hooks!) and crown molding in the home office – what a great tool to win to get these projects done!

  743. I would use it to add the finishing touches to my new baby’s nursery. I have a project with his name in large wooden letters to finish and hang!

  744. I love your blog and have been inspired to add wainscoting to our walls. I would LOVE this tool for this project and many more future projects.

  745. I would LOVE to win the brad nailer! I recently started teaching myself how to upholster and reupholster furniture – it’s become an exciting new challenge! I love the idea of recycling and repurposing furniture to give it new life, while being environmentally friendly and saving some cash in the process. I’ve been borrowing a staple gun from a carpenter friend, and have been wanting to buy my own for a while so this would be such a treat and I know it would be put to serious use! Thanks for putting together this great giveaway!

  746. I’d love the finish nailer. I’ve got several projects lined up for the year, and building a work table is atop my list!

  747. Would love to try some board and batten by the garage door and put up some hooks, as we don’t have a mudroom. Thanks so much!

  748. I would also fix some baseboards and some furniture missing small trim pcs. I have tried to nail them by hand but do you realize how difficult it is trying to hold a 1/2 nail and hammer at the same time? I barely have fingertips left!!! :)))

  749. ooh, i really need a nail gun! I want to put molding on my cupboard doors. pick me!

  750. Great giveaway! I have been dying to put crown and new baseboard in my house. Love the finish nailer!!

  751. I need to install some crown molding that we bought several years ago. The finish nailer would be perfect!

  752. Awesome giveaway! I would install wainscoting in our bathroom and some shoe-molding that is needed on our steps and upstairs hallway.

  753. I would love the combo pack and would use it for finishing our bathroom and installing crown moulding. I also want to try to make a headboard and lots more things.

  754. I would love to use this finishing nailer to recover my desk chair! I bought the chair thinking I could refinish it one day. I have already covered it, but the method for securing the fabric to the chair has failed. Right now I have macguyvered a nail into the fabric to make it stay on (long story). I would so appreciate this finishing nailer!

  755. I need to nail up some corner trim and base board around my poor beat up kitchen island! Having this would certainly give me fewer excuses to keep procrastinating getting the project done!

  756. I have tons on the “to do” list…a lot of trim work, make a headboard, and recover some chairs!!
    Thanks!!

  757. I would definitely use the brad mailer to add wainscoting to our dining room! We are going to be doing it soo, so winning the nailer would be ideal. Thank you for offering this great giveaway!

  758. I would definitely use the brad mailer to add wainscoting to our dining room! We are going to be doing it soo, so winning the nailer would be ideal. Thank you for offering this great giveaway!

  759. I would finally attach the baseboards in our game room. They have only been laying there for about six years now!!

  760. 1) I would love the 2 1/2 nailer because I’m dying to add some molding and new trim around my house. I believe all of the trim is original with the house & has been painted all sorts of colors in a very sloppy manner.

    If I win, I would do my best to write up a review about my experience and submit it to you.

  761. I would love to do some upholstery projects that I have been putting off (don’t have the right tools!) and might even attempt to do board and batten in my little girls room. Great giveaway!

  762. Great giveaway!!!
    I would add some trim and molding to my bookcases to give them a custom look and also design/create a pattern with scrap wood as art.

  763. My girlfriend reads your blog religiously. She’s awesome, loves all sorts of power tools and DIY projects that she finds on sites like yours. I’m not much of a computer guy but she referred this give-a-way to me.

    She bought a house about a year ago, and for fun – we really enjoy working on projects together. I have been helping her to fix it up and build things from scratch, thanks to Ana-White.com.

    I have a brad nailer and a compressor that is “stored” at her place, but a finish nailer would be great so we can add some new molding and trim. We love working on projects together, and I would love to surprise her (unless she reads who the winner is before me) with the finish nailer.

    Some guys try to win their girlfriend a big ol’ stuff animal at carnivals, but I would really love to win a big ol’ finish nailer for my sweetie — as I know that she will absolutely love it.

    Love and Power Tools,
    Wesley

  764. Board and batten in the foyer. Beadboard in the kid’s bathroom to cover up the giant hole I covered. Looks like a bad holmes on holmes in there. :)

  765. I would definitely use it for my “wainscoting” project for the dining room, that I have put on hold until I get one of these beauties. I completed it in my bathroom with a nail and hammer, and et’s just say, I will probably not do that again. I just about pulled all my hair out.

  766. I would love to use this for some Ana White projects I have on my list. I can finally get started on our media center with such ease.

  767. The giveaway is great! I would use it to update our travel trailer, along with some projects I have in mind for our garden

  768. I would install crown moldings throughout my house, replace broken or yucky baseboards, and add wainscoting in several places!

  769. This would be a great tool for several home improvement projects I have planned. My number one project is updating a guest bath with beadboard and crown molding. Thanks for offering such great give aways.

  770. We are redoing an entire house. I would choose the finish nailer to help with adding molding and the 9,742 other projects that come with the house!

  771. We are currently remodeling the whole house. I would most definity use the nailer for replacing baseboards And moldings…lots of other little projects too!

  772. Just talked to hubby about building a TV console and reworking the one we have for kitchen storage. Given our projects it’d be hard to choose between the two. Thanks for the giveaway!

  773. I told my husband that I would love to have this tool. I even made him look at the pictures and bored him with its endless uses. My ideas excite me and stress him. Anyway, I would love to have it to put up trim work on a cabinet I received from my great grandmother. I would also use it for dozens of other projects on my to do list.

  774. I would love that brad nailer for some wainscoting heading up our builder bland staircase!

  775. I would soooo use the brad nailer to finish putting my trim up on my kitchen cabinets. No waiting for husband to bring his home from work!

  776. Our house has no trim whatsoever outside of door casing and a really skimpy base board. I would love, love, LOVE to win the brad nailer so i can finally install some decent trim and hopefully install some board and batten in our master bedroom.

  777. Umm, yes, I need this. I have so many projects going on around here and unfortunately my husband is a metrosexual :)

    I think this would come in most handy when I put up the crown molding in our living room.

  778. My husband & I just bought our first house, which seems to be missing almost all of the trim! This would be great to have to get that project conquered!!

  779. Thanks for an awesome giveaway! I would love the 2 ½” Finish Nailer to install some crown moulding above my kitchen cabinets!!

  780. OOOO!! I could really use the brad nailer to reupholster my grandmother’s dining room chairs!! Thanks for the giveaway :)

  781. I would love to try some board and battan in our living room (which I want to turn into our dining room) and possbily in the family room. Ohh and I want to build some of those foward facing book shelves for my girls rooms…oh there are so many ideas! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  782. I would do board and battan in our diningroom. We are doing it anyway this would just make it so much easier!

  783. We just bought a new house so we have tons of projects we could use this for! I think I’d start by recovering the dining chairs we just bought and adding wainscoting to the dining room.

  784. I’m using a lot of reclaimed wood these days for projects and a brad nailer having the ability to shoot staples would be a huge help. Been looking at these compressors for quite some time now and this might be a good way to add it to my collection. Great giveaway!

  785. What wouldn’t I use this nailer for. Just got started gutting a 70+ year old house that needs everything.

  786. I would love to have this to start on the board & batten in my master bathroom! And then I would give it to my husband for a birthday gift! ;) Thanks Kate!

  787. Oh man, I’m dying to install some crown molding in our dining room- the 2 1/2″ finish nailer would be AWESOME.

  788. I would love to put up some molding in the master bedroom! Of course this would also be helpful in some of my DIY furniture projects!

  789. This one is easy- I would recover the wingback chair I bought on Craig’s List that is just sitting in my Living Room because I don’t have to tools to recover it yet! I just couldn’t pass up the deal though…

  790. I want to learn to upholster & we plan on installing wainscotting. Do you think using a rope style wood trim in a room with a bit of a nautical theme is “overboard” (bad pun intended!)?

  791. I need this one to Recover an old chair. I did a couch last fall with just a staple gun, and my hands were killing me! This would make everything so much faster the only thing is I might have to share with the Hubby….

  792. my hubby and I would have a date night…..putting up some board and batten in the bathroom…now that’s true love!

  793. I have been wanting to do beadboard in my kitchen/dining area and also in my guest bathroom. Fingers crossed for the brad nailer!!

  794. I would love to win one for beadboard trim in the hall bath and crown molding in the master bedroom. Pick me!! Thanks for the giveaway.

  795. Oooh, my hubs would use it to finish up the crown molding in the remaining bedrooms/hallway and downstairs. Plus install board and batten in the kids’ bathroom.

  796. I would make a new headboard for our bedroom and finally reupholster a certain chair in our living room that is currently a bland & boring wannabe mustard color.

  797. This is a great giveaway! I REALLY want to win this one. I’ve been wanting to hang beadboard on my ceilings for a while and would love to do the board and batten project in my guest room!

  798. This is a great giveaway! I REALLY want to win this one. I’ve been wanting to hang beadboard on my ceilings for a while and would love to do the board and batten project in my guest room!

  799. I would FINALLY get around to the board and batten project for our stairwell. Then the trim project for our master bedroom, then another trim project in the dining room. Whew! I really would use both of these tools.

  800. Soooooo many things I would do!! Crown moulding in my bedroom; revamp the vanities in both bedrooms by adding moulding….oh! also, crown in my son’s bedroom….just to name a few! lol

    Great give away! Can’t wait to see your reveal!

    Lou Cinda

  801. I’d put up crown molding in my daughter’s house for the first project. After that, well there is just no telling!!!

  802. I would finish my basement bathroom!! We just tiled it and haven’t put the baseboards back on.

  803. I could really use one of those for my kitchen remodel. I’m thinking about adding bead board to brighten up the small space!

  804. You know what? I’d really love to use it for some beadboard in my kitchen. Especially in the problem area known as the “back splash” behind my sink. It is all original 1940s yellow & black tile. Can someone say ick? Exactly.

    <3 Amber

  805. In the next few months we will be replacing all of the trim in the living room and also building some shelves/furniture, so I think the finish nailer.

  806. I would use that in my daughter’s room. We are about to install wood planks on her walls to give that bit of “boat house” look inside. A nail gun would certainly cut that time in half!

  807. My husband and I have really been wanting to make our own bookcase. This would help so much!

  808. I could really use one of those for the upholstered headboard my husband and I are about to do! I would love to win this one!!

  809. Definitely some crown molding in the living room! It is the last thing to do and this would help out a whole lot!

  810. I would definitely replace all of the trim work in my house. The previous owners destroyed it- it is very scratched with minimal finish left : ( I also have a dining room chair recovering project planned for this spring! These tools would do the job!

  811. I’d use it to staple fabric to a frame for a diy headboard project.

  812. Well, my fiance keeps saying he needs a nail gun so he can build us our bed (which has been in the “planning” stages for a couple of years now). So this would come in super handy.

  813. I would love the finish nailer, we have some crown molding and furniture on our to do lists!

  814. I would love to put crown molding in our house. We only have it in one room. This would be great!

  815. I would love the brad nailer! We just made up some plans to install board and batten by our back door/mud room for all the coats, bags, bookbags, etc. that end up on the floor. Your loft project was definitely an inspiration!

  816. I need the brad nailer to recover 6 chair seats! I’ve been putting the project off because I’m unsure what color I want to paint the chairs, but I bet winning this giveaway will make me get off my butt and make some decisions so I can use my cool new tool! Thanks for the giveaway!

  817. I would use this to build a daybed for my daughters room, reupholster some chairs I have been hanging on to and much more!!

  819. I would use it to put decorative trim on shelving we are going to install in my craft room. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  820. I have never re upholstered antthing but I am dying to try! I have a chair in my living room that is looking really sad :( It was a Christmas gift from my husband about 14 years ago, so it needs a facelift. (so do I for that matter, but for now I’d love to try my chair!)

  821. I’m having trouble posting comments.. I promise I’m not a scammer. Let’s try this again ..

    I would love a finish nailer because I want to replace the trim and add molding to my house. My house is relatively small (only 1,020 sq ft) so it seems like a totally doable DIY project.

    If you were to pick me, I would love to write up my review and experiences with the tool!

  822. I would update our laundry room. Right now it’s a blank slate that needs a face lift…there is no storage either! I’d love to do the board & batten in there and build some shelves. Is quite big and plain.

  823. I would use this to replace/update all the molding on my kitchen cabinets! I’d also like to put wood flooring in my office and will need to put new baseboards on!

  824. I would add some board and batten to my laundry room, to an upstairs bedroom, etc. etc. This thing looks easy to use! Love it!

  825. We just got done laying tile so it would be great to have this to finish off the shoe moulding!

  826. I inherited my late father’s leather chair. I would use this braid nailer to finally refinish this piece and be able to seat it in my living room for many more years of use.

  827. We’d love a nail gun! We’re in the middle of built-in bookcases with crown molding. Next up: refinishing the floors! Sigh!

  828. This would be GREAT! I have lots of projects on my list but I would start with the board & batten in my sons room followed by a headboard for my room!!!

  829. I would use it to build upholster my daughters headboard and reupholster some chairs that need some updating

  830. I have been wanting to put crown molding up in my dining room for like a year now…please oh please pick me:)

  831. Oh, I have so many projects in my head. Three headboards, a bench near the front door, built in shelves…the list goes on. This would be so useful.

  832. Let me see… add wainscoting to the laundry room and half bath, build cornices for numerous windows, recover kitchen and dining room chairs… will the list ever end?

  833. I need! I need! I need! I would do so many things…but the first would be using the brad nailer to finish up stacking some trim to my current project of turning an ordinary oak nightstand into a patina encrusted nail-head trimmed beauty! Thanks for the giveaway!!!

  834. I’ve been wanting to put trims on our windows but dont have a nailer to use. I thought of using liquid nails but I’m just worried that it will mess up my project. Hope I win the nailer so I can start this overdue project.

  835. Ever since your board and batten post, I’ve been dying to try it at my house. Crossing my fingers for the big win!

  836. I am totally wanting to do the same thing in my daughter’s room, at least with bead board if not not the board and batten. Love it with the teal, that was my first choice, but my hubby thinks we need to go with something more girly!! We’d love to have some help with it!!

  837. Crown molding in the dinning room or maybe the chair project that I never finished. The possibilities are endless. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  838. My upstairs bedroom really needs a new book shelf, I would love to build one with the finish nailer.

  839. It’s almost spring time and I need a plant stand. I’d love to DIY one and make use of all the balcony space my apt has :-)

  841. I have way more then ONE project. WE moved into a house this past weekend and we have been renovating it… sooo that means we have no trim right now (we need to put this up in the 2 rooms that are completed!) Plus, once I get unpacked I’ll be working on making benches & coffee tables and other fun wood projects for our house… Thanks for a chance to win!

  842. Oh Please Oh PLEASE let me win this giveaway!! This would be the best possible thing I could ever hope to win!

I could really use this! *invoking the giveaway gods to shine pleasant on my behalf* YAY! Whoever wins this is going to really be very happy!

    By the way, i posted on facebook and twitter too.

  843. I would love to do a board and batten treatment in my kids’ bathroom. I have been so inspired by everyone’s blogs, and think it would add character to an otherwise blah space.

  844. My entire BORING house needs trim! Crown molding would be a perfect start to giving this beige box some character. :)

  845. I have a dozen or so projects and its just little ol’ me. Crown, base boards, bathroom redo, etc. I would say the finish nailer would come in handy. It would make those tedious jobs a lot easier. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  846. The previous owner of our house “missed” some areas with trim. So we need to clean that up. Plus I love to re-upholster the chairs to match my mood. So the brad nailer would definitley be my pick.

    Thanks for a great giveaway!

  847. would definitely be able to tackle a long awaited project to re-upholster some chairs and an ottoman with some Central Asian Suzanis some friends have given me! Havnet had the tools to do them.

    cathy b
    pbprojecthope at yahoo dot com

  848. I crave these tools! I would used them to add trim to the cabinet doors at the bay house, fix the stairs, add beadboard to the bathroom, fix the trim on the patio door and on the garage door, replace the screening on the porch, add crown molding in the townhouse, finish the Sheetrock in the laundry, and maybe staple the mouth (not really) of my best friend who is laughing at me because I want these tools so much. Please, Please, Please!

    I love centsationalgirl blog regardless but I’ll love it even more…

  849. Oh what wouldn’t I do!!! Crown molding in my main living dining and kitchen. Put the base molding back into my daughter’s bedroom…and it just goes on…how I COVET this tool….

  850. We would do crown molding…something that I’ve been longing to do…or building an enclosed storage room in the garage!

  851. I have a beautiful wing back chair that I would love to refinish. It is sitting in our living room with the fabric draped over it for the past 2 months. I have been sitting in indecision about what kind of nail/brad gun to get in order to finish my chair. I would love to have the decision made for me!!

  852. I would finish the trim on every built-in cabinet in my house. (FYI that equals 9 built-ins without finish) I would be oh so busy, but oh so happy.
    Thanks for the great giveaway.

  853. A batten grid feature wall in my master bedroom. It’s just BEGGING for some architectural interest… thanks!

  854. We would love to put in some crown molding around the house, and my bf has also been tinkering around with some wood crafting projects lately!

  855. This would be fantastic to use not for myself actually, but to help my mom reupholster her couch and chairs. She has done this once before with a manuel nail gun, so to have this great tool would be so wonderful! We already picked out the fabric – so this tool would allow us to get started righ away!!!

  856. I am a 3-D acrylic painting artist and avid decorator/project adventurist. I now own what appears to be relics compared to that magical tool. Please bring me out of the dark ages!!!

  857. I’ve been wanting to put up board & batten in my mudroom since we built the house three years ago! I would definitely get this job done with a new nailer!

  858. What DIY project around your house would you complete with a brad or finish nailer? How many should I list! I just bought my first home (i’m 40!) last year, and I have plenty of projects, starting with replacing the nasty carpet on my stairs. Would love this!

  859. We are in the process of closing on a house and there are so many projects I want to tackle. I want to put up board and batten in the dining area of the kitchen. I would also like to install crown molding throughout the house eventually!

  860. after 10 years of talking about it we are finally redoing our kitchen. we are trying to do most of the work ourselves & this would be perfect. but more than that, we’ve had the trim molding for redoing our bedroom sitting in our garage for months. i’d love to surprise my husband by doing it myself & with a power tool to boot!

  861. The DIY possibilities are endless–we bought a foreclosure that we’re fixing up..but right off the bat I would go trim crazy! :)

  862. I just rented a finish nailer for the first time last weekend to install oak quarter round. I LOVED it and have been saving up to buy one. I’d use it for a ton of projects around the house, but would start with finishing the quarter round! I would love, love love to win!!

  863. All things trim! We just bought our first (new) house with bare walls. I have plans to install wall trim in nearly every room and have plans to install a coffer ceiling. First thing on my shopping list is a finish nail gun. I actually do have the Campbell Hausfeld stapler/nail gun combo and it is a beautiful thing – light weight, easy to use, and perfect for upholstery projects! Thanks for the giveaway!!!!!!

  864. No better choice for attaching trim and molding than a pneumatic nailer. Put it in position and pow! No moving around, no missed nail hits, and FAST.

  865. Definitely the brad/finish nailer & compressor!
    Our home-to-be has required 4 months (thus far) of major updating…still much more to do.

    Plus I found my grandmother’s beautiful old wood rocker with arms b-a-d-l-y in need of reupholstering. My latest find a $15 Flexsteel wing chair of olive velour needing some velvet upholstery in a lush color.

    And my FIL’s hand made wood framed sofa (think futon but no fold-out) that needs a new seat installed. Yes, I think I could make a ‘little’ use of a brad/finish nailer & compressor.

    Kate, thank you for all of your tireless work to make our lives in blogland so effortless. Your determination to try new things, and make them work. And if that were not enough, to then report, in detail, about them. Well, you give us all hope and courage to blaze our own new trails. You are appreciated. Much admiration and thanks!

  866. My husband and I just closed on our fixer-upper house, so I can even begin to tell you the amount of projects I could use a brad nailer/compressor! I have approx 15 chairs to re-upholster, wainscotting to put up, a headboard to fix- the list goes on and on! I would love to win this!

  867. I think winning this would finally convince my husband that we need crown molding in our living room! Finish nailer it is!

  868. I want to re-purpose a headboard with upholstery and add some decorative trim to dress up my boring interior doors!

  869. My mom wants to recover her dining room chairs before my wedding this summer (she’s hosting the groom’s parents at our house!) and the brad nailer/compressor would make the job so much easier!

  870. This would be great! My husband and I are going to be redoing the kitchen in the home we are buying and could definitely use this for the cabinet work and trim. I also plan on recovering a wing chair that our cat has had a lot of funny with her kitten claws on.

  871. Board and batten in my girls’ room…I am dying to start this project! Thanks for this great giveaway!

  872. I would love to win this as i am planning to add board and batten to our master bedroom and laundry room!

  873. I’ve been looking at these – going to recover dining room chairs and add some molding to kitchen cabinets….

  874. You read my mind! I want to add board and batten AND make some built-ins for my basement – either of these would be a HUGE help!

  875. Would definitely use the finish nailer since we are repainting the house and have the trim removed from the living room and hallway. Looks like it is well built and the compressor is amazing in size and variety of uses.

  876. I’m not handy, but my daughter could use either one of these for her basement renovation!

  877. We have been contemplating crown moulding in many rooms in our house but first and foremost would be the board and batten in our laundry room!

  878. I’d add shoemould to our bedrooms. We just removed the carpet to expose some beautiful hardwoods, but haven’t been able to put shoemould down yet.

  879. I’d start with crown molding on the living and family rooms and wainscoting ion the dining room. And I’m sure lots of other projects after that

  880. I’d start with crown molding on the living and family rooms and wainscoting ion the dining room. And I’m sure lots of other projects after that.

  881. This would be fantastic! We’ve got plenty of shelves and cabinets that all need to be updated along with a whole “Projects” list. Hubby would jump for joy. Love your site and always look forward to what you are into. Thanks for all of your time.

  882. I would use it to finish our Bonus Room, Everything is done except the base boards. This would be perfect! I’m also going to do a Board and Batten treatment in my sons room! :

  883. I have been wanting board and batten in my laundry room. I can’t talk my husband into letting me, so maybe a new nailer, he would be convinced!

  884. I would like to use it for building some shelves. I also have other projects I would like to do but that is what is needed right now in my basement.

  885. I would use it to get our dining room chairs back into shape and finish a shelving project for our wine collection!

  886. On my to-do list for 2011 is to build built-in book cases in my living room so the Finish Nailer it is!

  887. OMG I SOOOO need this!

    Right now I’m building a media console for my living room, so I could certainly use this now. I also have several others projects on my list that could really use this as well!

  888. I would reupholster a vintage wing back chair that has been sitting in my bedroom partially deconstructed. Would love this!

  889. I just Tweeted about the giveaway, but I’m private, so I don’t think you will be able to see it. I’m @THEStephanieG if you want to follow me to see it.

  890. I would love to put up board and batten in our baby room. We have a little one due in July.

  891. I have been thinking that board and batten would look great in my dining room! We don’t have any of the proper tools for it though so this would be handy!

  892. I would love to do a board and batten treatment in my entry. I can just picture some crisp white with a cape cod blue paint on the upper part of the wall. That would be so sweet.

  893. last summer we got new carpet installed in our home. It looks fabulous, but the “hubster” still hasn’t put the baseboards back in. I can’t help but think that a cool new toy like the nailer/compressor combo would be a great incentive to get his butt off the couch. Not to mention all of the fun things that I could do with it after – or I suppose I could use it to take matters into my own hands. After all, if you want it done, send a woman to do it. :o)

  894. I am dying to make me some furniture – courtesy of Ana White plans! Not that I have to have a brad/nail gun for that, but who wouldn’t want the ease and quickness? Thanks for the chance to win such a great giveaway!

  895. I have two very long narrow rooms and anything I hang on it, like framed pictures, look lost. I would like to re-size the walls with a board and battern project.

  896. I have no window treatments on any windows in my house. I’m REALLY wanting to make some cornices for the tops of my downstairs windows. I’ve been wanting one of these for quite awhile now. I can spend more money in a home improvement store than a mall anyday!

  897. I would finally get the wainscotting up in the dining room!! Plus, we’d love to add crown molding galore to the rooms in our downstairs :-)

  898. We have recently moved and I’ve been repurposing and redecorating. The catch my husband is a CPA and hence MIA until after April 15th. Some of my projects have been sidelined because his man tools are too heavy or scary for me! This would help so much!

  899. I would adore the brad nailer/stapler. I was so inspired by your board and batten that I want to attempt it in my bedroom. Having never done any project (except in my head!) I’m a little intimidated to rent and try a regular nail gun to do the project. Having this one would be so awesome and would be just the beginning of home improvement projects that are sorely needed in my home!

  900. Either of these tools would help with these projects on my To Do list: recovering dining room chairs, reupholstering some antique rockers, and installing drywall to cover the popcorn ceilings and fake-wood paneling. I love your blog!

  901. I would love to replace some quarter round in some areas of our house (BORING) as well as finish off my first self-reupholstered chair & ottoman (FUN!!!!) :)

  902. OMG…I would LOVE to win this prize!! I’m a daily follower and if I win, I will absolutely first use this tool to put up crown molding!!! Thanks for the chance!

  903. We have lived in this house for almost 2 years now and I haven’t been able to install any of my baseboards or crown molding yet. So that would be my first project. Then I think I’d be attempting some wainscotting using your tutorial that I’ve been drooling over for way too long now.

  904. We just bought a new old house. The list of jobs to be done is too long to get into, but includes re-doing the flooring in the kitchen, which means new baseboards. I’ve also bought some “In need of TLC” pieces of furniture that will be meeting some new fabric very shortly. Either prize would be wonderful.

  905. Please pick me!! We are installing new wood floors in the house and can absolutely use them to put in baseboards and new trims for the doors once floor is done. Please please please

  906. I would love to have the finish nailer to put crown molding up in our dining room and living room.

  907. My husband has replaced 75% of the trim in our house (with a hammer and nails) and has been talking about getting an “assistant” to help with the rest. I’d LOVE for him to have a powertool to help so the project can finally be finished!

  908. I would love to win this! I would love to do the batten in my daughter’s bathroom, this tool would surely be helpful :)

  909. Crown molding in my living room. This tool would be so fantastic to help “finish” that room.

  910. We are going to be making an upholstered headboard, a built in bookshelf and I’m fixing a dresser. I would LOVE to win a brad nailer!

  911. I love your blog and all the great ideas you share.

    We recently put up the Crown moulding in the family room using nails and hammer, which has left my sweetheart with a swollen finger (He accidently hit himself instead of nail :( ). We have been planning for years to put up board and batten moulding in the family room and Picture frame moulding in rest of the home. I am sure we both will enjoy the company of the power tool to have our dream projects finished (without the bruises/swollen fingers ;) )

    Have a wonderful day!!

  912. AHHH!!!!! My first project would be the trim work in my sons room makeover!!! I’ve been looking at buying a nailer ….but just haven’t been able to purchase one yet :( . Thanks for the chance to win!!!!

  913. We actually just got wood last night for the built-in bookshelves I’ve been waiting for! Our basement finishing job that has been going on for almost a year (my hubby has done all the work himself; electrical, plumbing, drywall… you name it) is finally almost done (just touch ups remaining) and the only thing left is my bookshelves. It would be great to give him some help with finishing that up!

  914. Im working on a dream bedroom for my teenage sister that is 16 years younger than me :)…the 2 – in -1 Brad Nailer would be sooo useful.

  915. I have several projects that I could use brad nailer/compressor combo. I am planning on upholstering a chair, and it would be great for that.

  916. I’d love to use the brad nailer/compressor combo to put up some wainscotting in my half bath and my upstairs hallway! They have been on my to do list for a while now. I love checking your blog for all of your latest and greatest accomplishments! It’s my daily fix!

  917. We need to install molding in the entire house. That’s right. ALL of the house. It’s missing in almost every room! And, maybe then…. dare I say… CROWN MOLDING?!?!?

  918. I have been dying to make an upholstered headboard, I would love to finally be able to do it!

  919. Our boys bathroom really needs some improvements- I’d love to try my hand at doing the board and batten in there to brighten things up! The Brad nailer/compressor would be a wonderful tool to have!! I also think it would be fun to use! (I’ve rented in the past and it’s really not an inexpensive option.)

  920. We need to install some crown moulding in the powder room we’re redoing so I’d love the finish nailer!

  921. I have so many projects to complete, so either of these will come in handy and my sweet neighbors will get to keep their nailers on the weekends! Crown moulding throughout the house is next on the list.

    Thanks.

  922. I would do some board and batten and probably make up my own projects as I go to have fun with it :)

  923. Built in bookshelves is definitely a project on my list . . . I would also love to convince my husband that we NEED crown molding. :)

  924. Oh, goodness, another fantastic giveaway — you rock, thank you!

    I would totally jump onto the board-and-batten bandwagon. My husband and I have already been pricing these tools for our planned projects, so great opportunity, here!

  925. I would finally, finally make the upholstered headboard that I’ve been dreaming about for longer than I care to remember. And if we can finally find a house to buy this spring (fingers, toes and other appendages crossed!) then I would totally do wainscoting too – I’ve always wanted a house with beautiful wainscoting. Sighs….

  926. Like many others, I would love to do crown moulding. But I would also love the finish nailer for small woodworking projects.

  927. I’d have my hubby do our powder room – bead board. Plus, several other projects come to mind – moulding, cabinet trim.
    We are so in need of this tool!

  928. Congratulations on the photo shoot, Kate!!
    I would recover my barstools! I’m sure I would find a zillion other projects… but my brain seems to be fried at this moment.
    :-p
    The brad nailer would be a great addition to my toolbox!

    ~Em

  929. we have MULTIPLE projects happening in our new house to make it our home so we could use it everywhere!! the bathroom has been torn apart – one place, need a plate rail for the tv room -second place, want to install wainscoating going up the stairs – 3rd place. thanks for the chance and i will spread the news on fb!!
    jen

  930. wow. I would love to do some wainscoting and start decking out the house in crown molding. we just moved and the house is utterly crownless! oh the shame of it. I think if I don’t get my husband something like these he’ll definitely say, “no way, crazy short lady.”

  931. We have lived in this house since 2001… we still have trim to install. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to get that done???

  932. I would definitely use this for wainscoting! There’s so much more beyond that though.

  933. I would use to it finish our half-bath. We still need to add crown moulding to the ceiling and possibly wainscoating to the walls. I may have to get these tools if I don’t win!!

  934. more like what project wouldn’t I use it for!! Fixing the baseboards, batten board and an ottoman are at the top of my list!

  935. We just got our first house so the question is what WOULDN’T we use it for! I’d probably pick the finish nailer for its more uses and I bet the first project we would use it on would be building a big wooden trellis for our new yard!

  936. What project wouldn’t I complete with this nail gun. I think I might even sleep with it~

  937. What project wouldn’t I complete with this nail gun. I think I might even sleep with it~

  938. I posted on facebook and told a bunch of my friends about it.

    a finish nailer would be great for the trim and molding work I would like to do

  939. I am working on some shelves in our playroom. The finish nailer would be a huge help.

  940. I’m embarking on a crown molding project for our entire main floor. I’ve chosen the 5-1/4″ trim and it states I should use 6D finish nail x2. I’m guessing that means 2″ nails. So now I don’t know if I should use a brad nailer or a finish nailer?? I can’t wait to get started! Thanks for the contest!

  941. I would love to install crown moulding in the living room and 3 bedrooms of our new house!

  942. Just in time to enter!
    I have been wanting to try my hand at repurposing furniture: turning a coffee table into a padded bench and such. With this I wouldn’t have any excuse not to!

  943. my house has some board and batten action going on in the dining area, and i’d love to continue the look through the living area which is actually connected – what a great treat it would be to win a nailer!!!! kristinmik at gmail

  944. I’m ever so keen to install board and batten in our powder room – this tool would be the niftiest way of doing it.

  945. We would love to build some bookshelves in our master bedroom! My husband would love this. :)

  946. I’m in the middle of refinishing my dining room set and the brad nailer / compressor combo would be a big help when it comes to recovering the chairs. I love that it’s lightweight and portable – a necessity in my 3rd floor walk-up!

  947. I would love to build bookshelves for my children’s bedrooms, an upholstered headboard for the guest room, put wainscoting in the dining room and foyer, and crown moldings in the bedrooms. What fun!

  948. We removed the standard builders grade trim in our condo…2 YEARS ago, replacing the trim would be the first of many projects we would use the nailer for!

  949. I would build the king size bed that I’ve been dreaming about! Really would love to move up from a twin!

  950. I am always doing upholstery projects and furniture building. I have to rent out my brad nailer each time so it would be so wonderful to own one so I could build my custom bookcase without having to pay for the tool rental.

  951. Ohh what to do. I’ve been eyeing some crown moulding for the house, or maybe just making a small side table…

  952. i could find all sorts of things to do with these tools. i’d start with some moulding and then i’d love to dosome recovering of my kitchen chairs. Spring is coming and i’m sure i can find some outside crafty things to use it for as well.

  953. i’ve just posted a link to my facebook page for all the world ( or at least all my friends) to see!

  954. YAY! I would love a nailer for building mudroom storage. Or for finishing up the trimwork in my girls’ room. Awesome!

  955. I want to build a banquette and with board and batten behind it in the eat in portion of our kitchen. We also need to redo the baseboard in the living room and maybe add crown modeling. This tool would be excellent to get these projects done!

  956. I’ve got two chairs I picked up at a garage sale that I need to recover for the dining room. Thanks for the chance

  957. I would love to recover a chair and make an upholstered headboard! I would also love to try the board and batten treatment!

    Crystal

  958. I would absolutely recover my dining room chairs. With two young kids, they aren’t looking so hot!

  959. I am in the process of creating my baby girl’s nursery and this would be perfect for the wainscotting on her walls!!

  960. I’m installing a wood ceiling in our guest room and have been researching these and was so excited to your post! Now I know exactly what to buy if I can’t win this one.

  961. I could use the Nailer for sooooo many projects. We are getting ready to get our nursery ready and prepare as we are trying to conceive again. We lost our baby Savannah at 4 months to Turners Syndrome. I was 19 weeks along. It was a very difficult time and we are hoping for a baby soon.

    Projects in the works:
    making a “dutch door” for the nursery – we have animals and thought this would be a great way to keep them out of the babies room.
    making a headboard – have a wonderful design I found that looks like the PB headboard…without the fabric covering.
    Recovering all my kitchen chairs.
    Painting the entire house a blue/green color and adding beadboard.
    Building a windowseat in our bedroom
    Building a bookcase (found a great plan on another blog).
    Soooo many projects….my husband and I will be busy.

    Kristen

  962. Wow so many comments I’m not sure it’s worth a try…. but this is exactly what I’ve been researching! We are moving into a new house next month and want to do all sorts of projects… especially board and batten in the nursery and built-in bookshelves in the library. I just finished re-upholstering a wing back chair with a hand staple gun and want to do a headboard. SO many projects. My husband’s birthday is this weekend and I’ve been debating giving him one of these so it would be perfect!!!

  963. There are sooooo many in progress DIY jobs at my house right now. The shoe molding in the foyer, the baseboard in the kitchen, the pegboard in the shed (just to name a few)! And we’re getting ready to redo our main bathroom! Pick me please :)

  964. Adding crown to our kitchen cabinets! The finish nailer would help a lot.

  965. Without a doubt I would add molding around my windows and doorways–then add crown molding. My husband just put together this miter saw so its perfect timing!

  966. I’m just about ready to tear down wall tile in our 1950’s bath, and my plan is to cover the walls with beadboard. This nailer is a must have for that job!

  967. Reupholster a chair with the brad nailer/compressor combo. Thanks for the contest!

  968. I still have to install baseboards. I would also love to add batten and board in my sons’ rooms!! Thanks for the giveaway!

  969. Oh foo, I missed out on the giveaway. :( I could definitely have used the Brad Nailer on several diy projects (chair reupholstery, diy headboard). I would probably look for stuff to use it on too! lol Maybe another contest will pop up. :) Thanks for the review on it too!!
