***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…

Amanda says
“BEHR WITH ME!” We are buying our first home and all of the rooms desperately need to be painted…I think I’ll do the nursery first though!
B says
BEHR WITH ME!
Not a room but a buffet…
Jill says
“BEHR WITH ME”
The room that I would be painting will *hopefully* be a nursery. I’m a huge fan of the colors you posted in this post. We are hoping to do the more teal color with red accents. That seems to be a gender neutral combo would look great with ikea’s white dresser/jenny lind white crib that we are looking at too!
This would be the perfect opportunity to win! We are hoping to test positive in 2 weeks! It’s been a long journey that we are hoping ends soon!
Crossing my fingers!
Melissa E. says
BEHR with me- I need to paint my den and master bedroom…I hate trying to come up with the right combinations, so I hope I win that fan deck!
Bethany Eyre says
BEHR with me! I want to paint my entry and living areas a lovely flaxen color.
Charity says
“BEHR WITH ME” I am working on our kitchen and dining room! Love this tool.
elizabeth says
BEHR WITH ME! Your giveaways usually make my “case of the Mondays go away” in no time.
I live in a neglected 1200 sq foot rental townhouse that needs every inch of wall painted… even the closets. If this bucket were to be mine, it would be a happy green color that would start in my 1/2 bath-laundry room combo that is the most dreary spot in the place.
Erin says
Behr with me! I’d love to repaint our master bathroom. When I was pregnant and nesting, I HAD to repaint it IMMEDIATELY, so I used the only color we had, which was an asparagus green from our kitchen. Too much for a small area! I want to tone it down now that I’ve had the baby and have gotten my home decor project urge under better control.
Katie says
Behr with me! While my husband is slaving away getting our house ready to be set (a custom modular home by Southern Heritage Homes here in VA), I can’t stop thinking about decor and paint colors. Right now I’m leaning towards the greys and greens. We hope to set the house on the foundation tomorrow- yay! I can hardly wait!
Lori Y says
Behr with me!
Jaime says
Awesome, I’m painting my sons nursery this weekend and I have NO CLUE what color blue to use, I’m off to go take some pics of his room so I can upload and use this, thanks!
Beth says
Behr with me! :)
We’re actually painting every room in the house except the living room next month! We’ve picked out some pretty pool blues for the master bedroom and bath, a great mint green for the guest bath, and some lighter neutrals for the living areas!
Laura says
BEHR WITH ME!
I’m going for the exact same look for our small guest room/office (perhaps nursery one day), but my husband wants to paint it MAROON! I actually used the term “jewel box” to describe it to him this weekend, and now I’m going to forward this article to him to help make my case.
LeilaMac says
BEHR WITH ME!
It’s time the master bedroom/bathroom had some attention paid to it! How is it always the last thing to get done?!
Cheryl says
BEHR WITH ME!! I’ve been planning on doing something qabout my kitchen for weeks. Who says because you live in an apartment it has to be plain!
Molly says
Behr with me! Currently, I am helping my mom redecorate her master bedroom. She has spent so much time considering all of the other rooms in the house that she has completely neglected her own – for about 20 years! It is in desperate need of a makeover… We are still uncertain of the color but are pretty sure we want something deep and rich. The Paint Your Place tool should be perfect for helping us decide!
Nakiya says
Behr With Me!
We just bought our first home and have painted every single room in the house EXCEPT the kitchen. I can’t decide! Right now it is an incredibly sunny yellow which I thought I would like, but it clashes too heavily with the cabinets for some reason (dark brown). I need to pick a color, and SOON, but it’s too hard for me. I currently have a large orange square and a gray stripe on the walls as I go on my quest for the perfect paint color!
Robin says
BEHR WITH ME while I find myself talking to my favorite crystal bowl in my new house with neglected white walls. I have a living room with vaulted cielings and and open stairway painted all white….dirty dirty white. The house is 18 years old and I’m not even sure it is paint. It might be the original primer. Gads.
Lauren says
Behr with me!
We are getting ready to paint our nursery but haven’t decided on the colors yet. We’re excited to get this room done!
Marta says
Behr with me: Now I will have the excuse to paint our tiny little bathroom and my husband will not say that I am spending tons of money on something that we do not need….:/
YL says
BEHR WITH ME… Is what I said to my husband when he saw the “baby blue” swatches in our guest bedroom…
Lynsey says
Behr with me! I’d love to paint all the rooms in my house but right now the living room and master bedroom could really use a fresh new look.
Lorrie says
Behr with me! I am so ready to get rid of the olive green walls in my kithen and eat-in dining room. My cabinets are a hazelnut off-white with a chocolate glaze, so the olive looks really good, but it makes the space so dark. I am ready to change to a lighter cooler like a steely blue or a fern green!
SSM says
Behr with me! Our whole house needs to be painted and we’ve been in it almost a year, I know, GASP! If I could at least get the 1st floor done that would make things easier.
Julie says
BEHR WITH ME we’re moving into a new house on Saturday and then entire house is a very vanilla color. We’ve got 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and many other rooms that need to be revitalized with color!
Shereen says
BEHR WITH ME. I’m redoing my room and the hardest part for sure is picking the color. I’m going to try the behr tool this afternoon.
Cynthia says
Behr with me! I’d love to spruce up the dining room with a new color…currently it’s the same color as when we moved in…a dark taupe:(
Carmen says
BEHR WITH ME
well, we just moved into a (brand) new home and are repainting all of the walls.
Sarah says
BEHR WITH ME :) I’m dying to lighten up!
rachel says
BEHR WITH ME! We moved into our home a little over a year ago, and we painted almost immediately. I was pregnant, and I wanted EVERYTHING finished by the time the baby came (only 5 months after we moved in). So, in my haste — and pregnancy haze — I picked a color for our master bathroom that I’m really regretting. Ugh. It’s a dark gray that I thought would be soothing, but I really would rather a much (MUCH!) lighter and airier pale gray/blue or gray/green to give it that spa feeling.
Elizabeth says
BEHR WITH ME. This is perfect timing – just getting ready to paint the bathroom and bedroom!
Rachel says
BEHR WITH ME! We are choosing new colors for all over the house! I’m am excited for color finally instead of boring white walls!
Sarah says
BEHR WITH ME!! We recently moved into our new home (not really a NEW home and not as recently as I like to pretend). Anyway, the previous owners painted the kitchen a horrible bright orange. I need to get it painted soon before I loose it.
Denise says
BEHR WITH ME! I also love Behr paint. I’m planning on painting our half bath a silvery gray.
lindsaywillman says
“BEHR WITH ME” The whole house could use a coat of paint, but first up would be the living rooms (plural) or our master bedroom.
Shannon says
Behr with me!!
I would love to repaint my bedroom. I painted it a pale pink, but it is just the wrong shade. Unfortunately it’s not in my budget to try again. Given the chance, I think I would try a dove gray this time around!
kelly says
BEHR WITH ME” well we need to paint just about every room in the house (and the house itself) so I’ll just say the upstair’s bath (oh how I wish we were down to one room! Thanks, Kelly
JeanEllen says
BEHR WITH ME! We picked the “perfect” blue paint color for our bathroom last year, and after living with it on two walls (the same two that got new silver hardware; the other, still white walls have the old oak vanity and hardware…it’s a little odd, I know) for all of these months, I think I’ve decided it is too dark. Can’t wait to try out this new program, and I know hubby would love the free gallon of paint to try again!
Aviva says
Behr with me! I’m toying with painting our bathroom a sage-y sort of green… :)
Grace says
BEHR with me. This would be perfect since we need to paint our guest bedroom.
Jill says
Behr with me! I would love to paint our great room – it’s currently a soft apricot, but I am longing to paint it a soft cream color. Free paint would be the motivator!
Mandy says
“BEHR WITH ME” My bright yellow laundry room needs some toning down. I can’t wait to get it painted!
Lindsay says
BEHR WITH ME! I could use a can of paint for our guest bathroom!
heather s. says
BEHR WITH ME! I’ve actually played with that site myself but I don’t need to paint anything. It is my boyfriend’s house that needs help! He moved in 2.5 years ago and has not picked up a paint brush yet! His beige walls and mint green bedroom are in desperate need of a makeover.
Aimee says
BEHR WITH ME! I’m wanting to paint the entire house, but as we’re military and only going to be here for a few more months, my husband thinks I’m crazy! :) This would be great for all our moves to have a reference for that perfect color!
Katherine Klegin says
BEHR WITH ME!! My favorite project around the house is anything painting related. What a great idea for a giveaway!
Gina says
BEHR WITH ME!! My husband and I rehab and I’ve been known to repaint a room more than once until I get the color right – I’m currently in love with Behr Idulgent Mocha – I’m typically not a brown person but this color looks neutral and fab in any type of room….
Mrs. Q says
BEHR WITH ME! We are remodeling half of our garage into a family room. We are contemplating Pear to give it a light airy feel. But that will clash with my kitchen which is done in Summer Heat…still trying to convince hubby to let me paint it a complimentary color in the citrus family…
Susie says
Behr with Me! We need to paint bad as the people before us painted everything tan (walls, trim, baseboards and doors). Ugh!
Erin says
BEHR WITH ME! The hubbs and I will be moving up from a don’t-touch-the-walls apartment into our first house pretty soon – what a better way to give it that homey feeling than with new paint! Perfect!
