Fab Freebie: (Anything But) A White Christmas

***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.

Glidden Snowy House

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.

    This year, I’m doing lots of silver with aqua and some deeper turquoise-ish blues. Next year, back to traditional red. :-)

    The boyfriend and I are spending four days up at Lake Tahoe after Christmas, so I’ve gotta say that white (snow!) is primarily the color for me this year.

    I have two of Target’s white feather trees (snagged during a post-sale) on our dining room table, each with a spiraling garland; the taller with silver, and the shorter with a dried, red flower lei.

    Our colors this Christmas are silver and red, very traditional colors as this is our fist Christmas in our fist nest :)

    We are in DC and we also got tons of snow! Enjoy

    This year I am all about the metallics – silver, gold, bronze, white.
    But of course I had to throw in some of my red items, it is my fave color after all.

    I like light blues and silver this time of you, although I have none of it in my house! I’m too thrify to buy anything in addition to the reds, greens, and golds that we already have around the house!

    We are in the process of buying our first house and I want to do an icy blue dinning room. I plan on doing a silver and gold holiday scheme next year when we host our first holiday!

    In our 60’s house we decided to go with retro/modern Christmas decor this year: A white tree with aqua, hot pink, and lime accents. It’s super cute!

    Can me! My tastes for Christmas aren’t much different than my tastes for the rest of the year. I love blues, greens and a little sparkle thrown in for good measure.

    CAN ME! I love all the bright unconventional colors I’ve seen mostly in Target. The teals, magentas, and oranges.

    We currently have a “Sassy” green (according to Benjamin Moore) wall in our living room, so Christmas green doesn’t look so great next to it. I’ve opted for deep red and gray this year.

    My favorite colors this Christmas have been all greens…dark greens, lime greens, Christmas greens, even army greens…I am loving greens because there are few of them that clash when they’re all together, unlike PURPLE. Filthy purple.

    I am attempting to make Christmas more blue and silver…but, with the kidlet, it’s more red & green.

    CAN ME with a gallon! Like you DIYers, we’re renovating our bathroom too…which is proving to be a more difficult task than we thought. A fresh coat of paint would definitely complete the job.

    Green, Silver and Purple have me in the mood for Chrismas this year….red should totally just stick with Valentine’s Day :) Happy Holidays!
