***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!

Savannah Garcia says
Can Me!!! I usually love the classic red and green, but this year I’m leaning more towards silvers, white, and any neutral –
Gordon says
CAN ME!!! We have a strew of red all over the house. Love it!
Leah says
Can me! We just bought our first house and would love to keep painting!
I went with red and silver this year and anything that sparkles.
Cori says
CAN ME! i’ve been obsessing over turquoise this season, though my tree is mainly navy and silver. it sure would look darn good with some turqoise in there!
Lingram says
CAN ME!
Christmas colors this year have been icy blues with a variety of silvers and faded golds, with lots of natural greenery and punches of crimson. I’ve been very happy with it!
Cathryn says
CAN ME!
We have lots of red, white, green and gold around our home this season.
Julie @savvyeats says

I’m definately loving gray hues, avocado green and candy apple green.
Natalie Brock says
CAN ME!
I love lime green and red this year!!
Nicole Zoe says
CAN ME!
We went with our green tree and used frosted pearl lights, then added in hints of deep red – almost a maroon, and light green.
So traditional, but with twists – Red, white, green = Maroon, ivory, lime.
Intisar says
CAN ME!! We don’t do the holidays, but we are in the mist of planning our nursery. As soon as I receive the bedding fabric I’ll decide on the shade of yellow and grey that we will use.
Michele with 1 L says
CAN ME!!
I am loving the SURPRISE it really did snow in Richmond for once snow! As a teacher, I’m hoping for another dose in a few weeks. :-)
In the meantime, I stuck on red with apple green and white. Seems a little funkier to me than the traditional evergreen with red.
Kate says
CAN ME!!!
We didn’t decorate this year, but I’m really loving all the white/silver glittery decorations in the store, like bead covered cone trees.
Meg says
CAN ME!! We didn’t do much decorating due to a move we are making in less than 2 weeks but we did some and decided to go with a neutral theme… white tree with brown and silver ornaments and cream stockings!
Michelle says
CAN ME! silver and lavender!!
Liz H says
CAN ME!
i love metallics and greens at christmas. i also love unexpected colors like pink!
Emily says
can me
GREEN!
Ashley MacFarlane says
CAN ME! We have different color schemes depending on the year. I have way too much Christmas decor for our small house due to After Christmas clearance sales so I alternate what I put out year to year. Last year we did a White Christmas tree with silver and black but this year our tree is random ornaments that mean something to us that we collected over the years with crazy multicolored lights. So not decorating magazine worthy lol!

I like silver for the holidays. A different accent color appeals to me each year. A few years ago it was blue, this year it’s red…but I really like your lavender suggestion!
Jaclyn says
Can Me! Silver & frosted green!

I went with mercury glass, silver and bronze. I have a collection of silver reindeer. so, my mantle is a fairy land of snow, silver mercury trees, dried hops sprayed with silver glitter spray and all my little deer. quite fun!
Sarah @ Dream In Domestic says
CAN ME!
I am loving turquoise with silver and white with lavender or citrus green and also plum purple with white and lavender and burgundy. So pretty!
Alicia D says
CAN ME!
My husband, mother, sister and I all prefer blues. So our houses are decorated with white, silver, and various shades of blue (I also add in a few shades of green). We live in Alabama so we virtually never have white Christmases (I have seen only one in my 27 years of life). Between the white and blue tones of our decor and the mirrors we use to decorate, we can almost pretend that we are having a white Christmas–that is until we step outside in the balmy 70 degree weather.
Tran says
CAN ME! White is always a good Christmas color, especially if you live in a climate where there is NO snow!
Rena says
Can Me!
Every room has a little different color. But I am really into the hot colors – pink, lime, teal.
Mki says
“CAN ME”
We do blue in our house because hubby is a police sgt. so family members buy up anything “cop” and we display it proudly :) You would be surprised how many cop ornaments there are!
My dream though is do a tree that matches our decor better. shhhh :)
Nina says
Can Me!!
I love silvers, golds and reds!! I also have decorative pearl strands (in a garland type of fashion) on our tree. We originally used these as part of our centerpieces for our wedding.
Chris says
CAN ME!!
We are still pretty into the traditional colors.
Katie M says
Can Me!!
I just made Christmas cookies with hot pink and yellow sprinkles. They are so pretty, taste great and are a nice twist on the traditional colors.
Traci says
CAN ME!!!!
We went with a red and light turquoise this year; it has a really cool, sort of vintage look, yet still feels like Christmas. In the past, I’ve done white and silver, and a natural organic, but it didn’t seem right in our new home, with all the dark paneling.
Marcy says
can me please!
Melissa says
Can me!!
This is our first Christmas together, and we just combined his childhood ornaments with mine – it’s a really sweet, comfy-looking tree. Beautiful!
The new things I got were mostly black, grey and red with glittery gold accents. It sounds somber, but it’s really really pretty! (Also, I’m in DC so I know what you mean about the dirty week-old snow for Christmas!)
Nancy says
CAN ME! I’ve got a little lime green going this year.
Elyse Crawford says
Can me! The colors I love at Christmas are always “silver and gold, silver and gold…” ala Yukon Conrnelius!
Seraph says
Why, oh why, did this have to come -after- we’d already bought Glidden paint for the apartment? White Linen for the walls, Natural Linen on the Cabinets. Dang it.
Kate says
CAN ME!
We have more of a hodgepodge of colors rather than a cohesive scheme, but I love it. My toddler has had a ball painting big sheets of butcher paper we are using for wrapping paper. All the bright colors make the holidays seem even more festive than usual.
Jill M says
CAN ME! Bright colors this year, fuchsia, lime green, orange, aqua and red. Inspired by some cheapo ornaments at Target. It really is a very happy combination.
Yulia says
CAN ME! The accents on my mantle are Gold, Silver, and Red. Because who says you can’t mix gold and silver?
Danielle says
CAN ME!
Green and white!
