***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
This week’s freebie’s gonna be a colorful one. 3,700 colors to be exact, because it comes from the fine people at Behr paint. And we’ll have not one, not two, but three winners who will each get a free gallon of Behr paint along with a complimentary Behr paint fan deck. How’s that for kick starting a few of your spring makeover projects?
We all know that the hardest part of transforming a room with paint is painstakingly picking the perfect color. But Behr has gone and made it easier thanks to their new Paint Your Place tool. This free, online resource lets you virtually paint your very own rooms with a few clicks of the mouse (it’s a great way to waste an entire afternoon). For instance, we uploaded a picture of our third bedroom to see if a bright color might work when it eventually (key word) becomes a nursery (in a looong time, no baby rumors please). What do you think of Thermal Spring? Sherry thinks it makes the small room look like a little jewel box.
We were really impressed by how the program smoothly integrated the existing shadows and sun spots in the photo that we uploaded, giving the room a pretty realistic look (all without having to pick up a paint brush). Plus, with the color selector tool it was really easy to adjust the color, no matter if we decided it needed to be lighter, darker or even more green.
So if you wanna win one of these free gallons of paint, just leave a comment on this post with the words “BEHR WITH ME” by Wednesday, April 1st at 8pm EST. While you’re at it, we’d love to know if there’s a room in your home that you’ve been planning to repaint (and what color you might be considering). This contest is open to residents of the US and Canada and as usual only one entry per e-mail address is permitted. Good luck…

BEHR WITH ME! I’m dying to change up the living room… :)
David Barnes says
I love Behr paint!! I need to paint over some water staining so this would be perfect!!
Alicia C. says
BEHR with me! Wow! I cant believe how much we are on the same page! We live in a 50s brick ranch and we want to repaint our third bedroom. Right now it is what I call a non-color. Sort of a greyish, bluish, greenish beige. Really weird. We want to repaint it something that will flow with the rest of the house (trying to follow your advice about not having too many colors in the house). We are thinking a spring green or sunny yellow to pick up the colors in the front of the house. Especially since the room is on the darker back side. I would love some paint help from Behr!
Kerry says
BEHR WITH ME!
We really need to update our LR and DR that are open to each other and have no idea what colors to use.
Chelsea says
BEHR WITH ME because Behr paint would sure make my painting tasks easier!
Leslie says
BEHR WITH ME! My three year old daughter wants her room painted pink and purple with sparkles. Her birthday is coming up and I would like to surprise her and give her a girly room. I would love to do a dark purple on the bottom and light purple on the top. She will be so excited to see her room painted!
Lindsay C. says
BEHR WITH ME!
We’ve painted every room in our house EXCEPT the laundry room! And we just got a new washer and dryer so it needs some pimpin’ for sure!
angela says
BEHR WITH ME! Anyone who reads our home blog knows that I profess my love for Behr paint in just about every post! I won’t use anything else! Love it!
Averill says
Behr with me!
I’ve been dying to repaint my guest room a nice cool shade of gray.
Brenda says
BEHR with me! Almost every room in my house could stand a new paint job, but the bathroom, living room and spare bedroom are the first contenders :-)
Jess says
BEHR WITH ME!
Planning eventually to paint my kitchen breakfast nook in Behr “Grasshopper Wing”. Love their product!
Johnna Roberts says
BEHR WITH ME!!!! I am DYING to re-paint just about ALL of the rooms in my house and have found Behr Paint to be my absolute FAV (after MANY trys with Bejamin Moore, Pratt & Lambert, and the BM Aura – $60/gallon!!!!!!)
The Young House Love website has given me an appreciation for “normal” colors. Upon moving into my house I quickly took my neutral home and made it look like Salmya Hayek did in Fools Rush In – needless to say it’s CRAZY with colors and I am looking to tone them down – I’m thinking Chocolate Froth, Rhino, and Gobi Desert (all Behr – all at Home Depot!) Thanks for this site!!! I’ve gotten some brilliant ideas here!!!
Lyndsey says
BEHR with me! We just moved into our house and have lots of painting to do eventually! All the walls are a neutral color so I want to liven things up a bit. I am thinking of painting my kitchen a lime green! But I am not 100% sure just yet! Might be a little bold!
Natalie says
BEHR WITH ME
I really like how that paint color would look in your guest room!
Our guest room/study is so…blah. My husband and I couldn’t decide on a color (30+ minutes staring at swatches in Walmart) so I finally just said “FINE, THIS ONE” and grabbed a random blue one. Now, our guest room/study looks like a baby boy’s room :/ We’re love to paint it a soothing gray/blue color or maybe even a chocolatey brown! So sophisticated :)
Jen says
Just bought a house. Picked and LOVE the paint colors, and then two months later, bought a new couch. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look as good with the living room color as our old couch did. Long story short: that free paint could be the straw that breaks my very stubborn husband’s back in his firm stand against re-painting just five months later. Fingers crossed!
misty says
Behr with me…as i repaint the whole house. inside and out. i am always picking colors.
Next room on the list…upstairs hallway.
Allison says
BEHR WITH ME!
Winning this free paint would really kick my butt into gear for helping to revamp my parent’s kitchen/living room/main floor. The house needs an interior face lift and paint would certainly do the trick. I’ve been thinking about a sage green or calming blue/gray.
Hannah Marsh says
Roomie and I are moving to a new place and she’ll never understand why it doesn’t feel home to me until I paint. I guess she’ll just have to “BEHR WITH ME” as I start painting once again. I’m thinking sky blue. Can’t wait to check out the new Behr tool.
Thanks for keeping this blog up. It is absolutely so much fun to read!
Katie says
BEHR WITH ME – as we need to paint our house (desperately!!!!) so we can sell it and the condo we’ve had on the market for 2 yrs!!!! We need this BAD.
Thanks!!!!
angela says
BEHR WITH ME!!!
I’m starting on an interior painting project next week.
Amanda says
BEHR WITH ME! I have an antique desk that could really use a coat of pretty paint!
Celene says
BEHR WITH ME! I’m dying to redo the bathroom in a light blue color.

Behr with me…as we try to renovate the kitchen ourselves…primer and paint would be much needed! =)
Lynett says
BEHR WITH ME! I’m painting again!!!!!!! Atually, I only have one room to go- the living room!
Rebecca says
Behr with me… I made a big paint color mistake and would love this opportunity for a second chancce!
Alison says
BEHR WITH ME! I want to win this for my mom so that she can paint the kitchen or living room. she’s always wanted to and this would be a perfect way to get her going!
Megan says
Behr with me…Our den is very similar to yours, it has the wood paneling and red brick. We are dying to paint it and your room is definitely an inspiration for ours.
Liz says
BEHR WITH ME. I am actually building a house right now, so somewhat of a different scenario.. but many, many color decisions to make right now! A color wheel would be so fabulous. It can be very overwhelming to pick a whole house of colors at once! Although I feel for all the renovators too :)
Deborah says
Behr with ME! We have been meaning to repaint our master bedroom ever since we moved into our 1920’s house 3.5 years ago! We’ve been doing so many other things to renovate, that sadly – it hasn’t happened yet.
Teresa L says
BEHR with ME!!!!!
The dinning room is next, since the rest of the house has been done!
Megan S says
BEHR WITH ME! I have been using the Paint My Space tool for a few weeks now trying to decide which shade of red to paint the wall that unifies our living room/dining room space. There’s a yellow sandstone fireplace and light oak French doors to our sunroom on the wall- red seems like an okay choice, but I’m wondering if we should pick another. The house is a blank slate… all walls are white and we haven’t moved in yet. Our furniture is a light cream color- similar to the shade you’ve painted your living room. ANYWAY. Red or…?
laura marie says
behr with me!
Marissa says
Behr with me. I love the new tool. How fun!
ChaChi says
My house is hauntingly similar to your BEFORE Ranch style. Infact the “family room” is identical. So please “Behr with me” while I try to explain to my husband that wood panel is the devils work. Lets paint that brick fireplace baby!!!! Leg kicks for white wash (and husbands who don’t fear change!)
Lindsay says
Behr with me! We are about to purchase our first home and I’m so excited to put our mark on it and make it our own. :)
Courtney says
BEHR WITH ME! I soooo need this! We are moving very soon, so I’ll have a whole whose that will need lots of painting love!
marla says
“BEHR WITH ME”
i am dying to repiant the half-bath…I have a great ikea print that I want to keep in there…just need to pick a new color out of it…would love that fan deck!
Trish T. says
BEHR WITH ME. The next room on my painting list is our dining room/living room. I’d like to paint it Silver Screen and add a pop of color to the back of our built-ins with Aqua Spray, the color of our kitchen. After this project it will be time to tackle the hallway and stairwell.
Barbara M. says
BEHR WITH ME. I have a “honey pot” family room, but I would like to paint it a shade of gray – I just can’t find the right color. A new paint deck from Behr sure would help me out!!
Kim says
Behr with me! In January we moved into a house where almost every wall was painted BRIGHT canary/highlighter yellow…we got rid of most of the yellow right away but ran out of steam with two rooms left. I think some free paint might be just what we need to get rid of that last little bit of yellow!

Behr with me! I love this giveaway because I *only* ever use Behr paint (that’s actually true, I’m not just trying to suck up). ;-) I’d love to repaint my bathroom with a really crisp gray…maybe this summer.
modernemama says
BEHR WITH ME! I need help in the bedroom.
Laurel G says
Behr with me!!! I want to paint our laundry room.. it is in need of a total make over actually.. who knows, maybe I’ll actually WANT to do laundry!! I think a bright fun color would be great!
Teresea says
“Behr with me!” I will be painting my living room/dining room as soon as I find the right color.
K8 says
BEHR WITH ME… I would give our master bedroom a nice cool splash of color. The whole house is a bagel beige, I’m ready for color after two years of debating. Hehe!
Kate says
Behr with me – we’re about to re-do the bathroom and a new paint color is inevitable…
