***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
We often daydream about having the iconic white Christmas here in Virginia (which is extremely rare in these parts) but after this weekend’s crazy snowstorm it looks like we might actually have one. Or at least a whatever-color-you-call-half-melted-dirty-snow-that-hangs-around-for-a-week Christmas.
But as of today we think you’ll be dreaming of a holiday with a bit more color thanks to Glidden. So yes, as Sunny, Lacey, Travis and Nicole guessed at the end of last week’s giveaway, this week’s prize of “one of our all time favorite items” is indeed paint. In fact, Glidden’s got a gallon for a handful of you in your choice of color and finish so there’s plenty to go around.
And if we haven’t already made it abundantly clear in over two years of blogging: we love Glidden’s colors. From Gentle Tide in our bedroom and kitchen to Sand White in our living room and guest bedroom, we’ve got Glidden’s fantastic hues on almost every wall of our house. And even though we’re sad that some of those colors didn’t make the cut when Glidden revamped their line earlier this year, we totally dig how user-friendly the new lineup of colors are (they even suggest complementary accent hues on the back of each paint swatch). Plus you can easily browse inspiration rooms and coordinating color schemes both in-store and on their web site and they offer tester bottles with built-in brushes for every color. It doesn’t get much more convenient that that.
But enough jabbering. It’s time for the entry details:
- PRIZE: Each winner will receive a voucher to be redeemed at their neighborhood Home Depot for one gallon of Glidden paint in any color and finish of their choice.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “CAN ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us what colors are getting you into the holiday spirit this season. Is it the traditional red and green pairing? Unconventional schemes like lavender and silver? Or do you really just have your heart set on that white Christmas concept?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 23rd at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: FIVE!
- PRIZE SHIPS: United States only
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

CAN ME!!
I love teal, silver and white during the Holiday Season!
Jan says
Can Me!!!
I’m kind of digging the chartreuse green and red theme for my kitchen at the holidays. My living room decorations are always pink, lavender, and pearls because of the abundance of handmade ornaments I received from my grandmother.
Elyse Fair says
CAN ME! I’m really into teal and red this year. I love that it’s still kind of traditional, but a fun punch to it!
kristy says
CAN ME!
Red has always turned my head for Christmas decor. Still does!
Emily says
CAN ME!! Our holiday decor this year is a mix of silver, gold and white with the more traditional red and green on our tree.
JMB says
CAN ME!!!!!! Would love, love, love a white Christmas, but sadly the recent east coast storm missed us :o( Lots of holiday color: tree is mostly red and gold, other little areas of blue/silver, blue/white, and burgandy/gold throughout the house.
Allison R. says
“CAN ME”
I typically decorate with different red and green hues, with white mixed in. I splash all different colors on my tree and have tons of different types of ornaments because I collect those!
Erynn says
CAN ME!
I do a few trees because I can’t decide on just ONE color combo, but this year, my favorite has been a white flocked tree with silver and white sparkly decorations and peacock silk ribbon winding in and out. It’s like a glam winter wonderland!!
Jenny says
CAN ME! I am loving purple this holiday season. All of a sudden, I realized that almost everything new I purchased (including a tree skirt), has purple as one of the main colors.
Allison M. says
CAN ME!! I love white and silver, with red hues mixed in! Next year I think I’ll try white, silver, and an icy blue.
Jacki says
CAN ME! I still love red, green and gold. I’m so traditional that way.
Keri says
CAN ME! I love royal and light blues wih silver and white, gives me that “Winter Wonderland” feeling :)
Jackie says
Can Me!
I am loving red and white this season. Just bought a fab new red table cloth with white snowflakes for Christmas dinner!
Jennie says
CAN ME!!!
I am pretty big on mixing up the traditional colors…so I usually add bright pink to red and white. Another fave is green with purple!
Rikke says
CAN ME!
We just bought our house last spring, so this was our first year to really start decorating the house, which I loved. We actually went for a chocolate brown/white/silver/gold scheme, with slight hints of red. Odd, I know. But I love it. While it doesn’t scream Christmas like red and green do, it’s so subtle, clean and peaceful that I think it really feels like Christmas. If that makes sense.
Melissa says
CAN ME!! I am loving silver with pretty much anything – red, blue, or lime green!
Kelly Coleman says
CAN ME!
I have several different ‘sets’ of ornaments. This year I got out the pinks/purples/blues/bright greens and picked up papers in the same color. Not traditional but so fun for my 2 year old and 4 year old. (I’m pretty sure my neighbor that comes outside decked out in his Virginia Tech PJs has an all VT decorated tree and I’m jonsing to ask to see it… : )
Merry Christmas!
Sarah says
CAN ME! This Christmas I haven’t gone with a particular color scene persay, but I’ve always loved silver & gold, and red at Christmas time.
Heather says
CAN ME!
I like the traditional red and green, but I really like the retro looking things, with lime green, pink, and turquoise.
Rachel P. says
CAN ME!
I’ve got a lot of red and white in my home this year.
Katy Key says
CAN ME!
There certainly won’t be a white christmas in sunny New Orleans this year, but there will be a LOT of hand crafted items…made by me in a crimson/hunter green and burlap color scheme.
Stephanie says
In this uncertain economy, I’m a little hesitant to type the words “Can me!” but here goes…
CAN ME!
I just finished painting my dining room (white below the chairrail, dark bluish-gray above: http://mcmania-ourlifeasweknowit.blogspot.com/2009/12/dining-room-redo.html) so now it’s on to the guest bathroom. My plan is to make it feel beachy since it’s an interior space without a window.
I asked my McHusband for a window for Xmas, but it was more than the budget would allow. Is it wrong of me to cross my fingers and hope for one of the gumball-dropping trees in the backyard to hit the house at just the right spot during a big storm?
Jackie says
CAN ME!!
I love the traditional red and green but sometime in the future I’d love to go with navy and silver with splashes of white thrown in.
Amanda says
CAN ME – I love the blues and whites and silver for Christmas. Like the snowman decorations.. The red and green are okay but not my fav.. I blue all over my house and not just around xmas.
The Classy Woman says
CAN ME!!! Our trees colored balls and ribbon are gold and dark burgundy but I really love the contemporary look of hot pink, cream and lime green. :)
patti says
“CAN ME”
i’m really loving the ice blue, white, and red combo this year. we seem to change each year, so we have an arsenal of decorations to change it up on the tree (along with our keepsake ornaments from our wedding and the kids ornaments they get each year.)
Tawna says
CAN ME!
Im all about the red, lime green, silver and white. :)
katiethelady says
Can me! We go for a multicultural red/green/blue/silver in our house. Sure, it clashes – but the happy hybrid works for us.
Allison says
CAN ME
I use red and green usually but this year I did silver, blue and a shimmery pale green!
Renae says
Can me!
We’ve got multiple rooms that need fresh paint…kitchen, living room, main bath, basement, remodeled basement bath…we could use this stuff!
We’ll have a White Christmas here in Nebraska, we’re expecting another 6-10″ on top of the yet-to-melt 12″ we got the first week of December. Ah, lovely!
But I digress, my Christmas colors getting me in the mood are those in the families of teal, hot pink, almost-lime-greens and oranges. These ornaments from Target really did it for me this year!

Emily says
Can ME, Please! I usually have a traditional red and silver tree and decor scheme but this year I’m in love with the gold/silver/champaign combo.
chacha says
CAN ME!
Seems like silver, gold, and white are more my Christmas favorite colors lately, but I like green and red, too.
Kathleen says
Can me!
I like pastel green and deep red.
Jennifer says
CAN ME!
Im usually a multi-color, charlie brown, ornaments that were mine as a little kid kinda christmas. But this year I went with some colors very similar to your, orange and a lime green. We looooove it, and would love some fun new paint!!!
Amy Huff says
Can Me! This year, I am dreaming of a White Christmas. Unfortunately, our weather is not cooperating (a bit of a shock for the Detroit area), so I guess it will remain a dream this year.
Tovah says
CAN ME!
I always love hunter green and crimson red but this year the silver,teal and pale blue color scheme are really appealing to me.
Allesha Mischke says
“CAN ME”
I’ve mostly stuck with the good old green and red. But in my newly made ornament wreath I used sliver and blue so I can leave it all up winter :)
Erin S says
CAN ME! This year our house is very green and silver, not so much red, and I’m definitely loving the white outdoors! As long as I don’t have to drive =)
Kara says
CAN ME
I love the traditional colors in our own house (probably because that’s all we have for now) but I think all of the more designer Christmas color schemes are just gorgeous… I’m just a little hesitant to try and pull something off like that (not to mention I’m overly anal about using what you have – probably why I love this blog, after all!).
shelby says
Can Me!

Michelle says
CAN ME- red and gold
yaheardme says
CAN ME

I’m loving the red, green, and gold this year but usually I prefer blue and white…don’t know what’s up with that. And hey, thanks for offering a cool giveaway. I just found your blog yesterday and added you to my blog list…great blog!

I used silver, white and green this year. I’m thinking of bringing back good ole red next year!
Hillary Fairfield says
I am bucking tradition and finding a new love in my creamy Latte brown, sage green, silver, accents of turquoise and hints of lavender. May sound strange but it is making for a very merry spa-like Christmas!
Casey says
Can Me!
Silver and gold!
