***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…

Beth says
Behr With Me! I have two rooms on my list to pain. I’m eyeing a pale misty blue for my craft room, or my guest is screaming for a pale sagey green with crisp white accents.
The Chatty Housewife says
BEHR with me! I’d love to paint either our laundry room or either of the bathrooms. Or maybe the hallway! :)
Amanda says
Behr With Me.
Our master bath just became a beautiful deep gray with fat white trim…now we want to do the adjoining master bedroom…a coordinating gray I think.
kelly kettrick says
BEHR WITH ME…our house will be finished being painted soon enough….
Dana says
BEHR WITH ME! I work from home a lot and am dying to repaint my basement office space a cheery bright color and make happy work days!!! Love this giveaway!
tricia says
BEHR WITH ME!!! I’ve been dying to paint my red kitchen something a bit more neutral…maybe a soft warm grey.
chelsea a says
BEHR WITH ME but we already refer to our master bedroom as a cave. It’s the wrong color of green for us and we haven’t gotten around to painting it yet. We have some paint colors picked out for other rooms in the house but the master just isn’t.quite.right.
Lesley says
Behr with me.
Over the next year we plan on painting every room in our house that we just moved into. This tool looks so cool and I will definitely be hooked and probably spend hours on it. Sherry I love the color you picked put for your ‘nursery’
Jenn says
Behr with me! I’ve lived in our house for almost five years, and we’ve only painted two rooms! Granted, they’re the rooms we use most, but the smurf-blue sponge-painted bathroom needs to go. (It scares me how used to it I’ve gotten.)
Lindsay says
BEHR WITH ME!
I’m dying to paint our entire house before we have our hardwoods refinished next month!
Candace says
Behr with me….is what we should be saying to all our guests as they see our crayon colored walls (compliments of three children!)
becca says
BEHR WITH ME! I’m hoping to paint our master bedroom and loft a tanish/gray and our breakfast nook is TBD. This would be the perfect tool to finally decide on the colors!
Bethanie says
BEHR WITH ME cause I LOVE their mauve color.
Laura says
Behr with me! We recently bought a home and are trying to pick out paint colors now. What a job that is!! I can’t wait to try out their online tool! Thanks for the heads up!
Rhonda says
BEHR WITH ME!!!
I’m planning on painting our living room in a sand color. Oh AND my little art studio in a nice pale aqua tone. I can hardly wait!!
Thanks lovelies!
Rhonda
Alli says
BEHR WITH ME! I would love to repaint my living room! This is just the kind of motivation I need…
Victoria says
BEHR WITH ME as I dream about the color of paint that I want. So many choices! I would love to paint our living room something lighter. Right now, it’s wood and boring..and very dark. I would like a whitish color or very light blue or tan..not sure yet. But I will be heading over to the website to upload my photo and play around for what I think will be ALL NIGHT!!
Jamie says
BEHR with me! We too are painting our entire house. When we moved in everything was pink!
Toni says
BEHR WITH ME!!
My next painting project is the master bedroom. I am looking for a serene blue-gray.
Sara says
BEHR WITH ME! the previous owners of my house loooooved to sponge paint- i still have several rooms to repaint and some free paint will go a long way to help out!
Lisa says
Behr with me.
I’m planning to repaint our second guest bedroom-it’s the only one of the four we haven’t touched since we moved in 3 years ago. 1st order of business was to get rid of the dark royal blue master, and the lavender guest room. Bedroom # 3 became a nursery last spring. The relatively innocuous peachy cream of room #4 has been waiting patiently for its turn. Since the other three have lots of color, I will likely go pretty neutral-probably a barely detectable, almost white, light blue.
Maria says
BEHR WITH ME! I recently found out that we’re expecting a baby! So I really need to paint a Baby nursery for our turkey baby! (I’m due the day before Thanksgiving)
Larissa says
Behr with me. I love their colors and I would love to paint our bedroom an off white/ light brown
Elizabeth says
BEHR WITH ME! We are getting ready to paint the entire house so yah for free paint.
We just redid some of the things in our office “borrowing” from the great board you did for Sara in January (yes, the Target chair, the great green target lamp and those cute crate and barrel green boxes joined our ikea Trilling prints in the office)!
Now the adjoining bathroom needs to be painted and I want a green to compliment the accents in that office. No color picked out yet but it would be so easy with the Behr paint deck!
Thanks for your great contests.
Jennifer in MI says
BEHR WITH ME!! The kitchen is next on my list and I can finally paint it orange my favorite color.
Taryn says
BEHR WITH ME! I need to paint our living room in our apartment! Please!!!!
Amber says
BEHR WITH ME while I decide on a nice neutral tone for our now Alabama Crimson Tide master bedroom.
Christine says
You two are the coolest bloggers on the block… So BEHR WITH ME when I mention to you that I’ve lived in this house for almost 5 years and still haven’t painted our upstairs bathroom because I’m afraid to commit to a color… Can you say INDECISIVE?
Spring is the perfect time of year to take on a new project and that bathroom will be MINE!
Krista says
BEHR WITH ME…is what I usually tell my husband when trying to decide on a paint color. With this software and some free paint I’ll have no excuse to repaint our master BR so that it finally matches the bed linens!
Katie says
BEHR WITH ME!
Actually our whole house needs a nice coat of paint-about 3 feet off the ground there’s a mess of little hand prints!
Tina says
“BEHR WITH ME”
I’ve been itching to paint our master bathroom a crisp navy blue to go with all of the white. Ooh, just talking about it makes me want to go pick up the ol’ paintbrush and start edging!
Lindsey says
Behr with me! We just painted our entire house (we moved in to a foreclosure that needed a lot of work), but I would use the gallon of paint to paint the walls of the “man room” (shed).
Katie says
BEHR WITH ME!
Bess says
Behr With Me!
Tracy says
BEHR WITH ME! I’m currently re-decorating (or I should say finally decorating) our master bedroom and I’d love a soothing gray/blue for the walls! Well, that’s the mood I’m in right now at least…
Christine says
“Behr with me”! I need to paint my master bedroom and master bathroom.
Vanessa says
BEHR WITH ME! I love painting! Especially in the spring.
Mrs. Money says
BEHR WITH ME!
I have lots of painting to do in my house. I think next I would do my master bath!
Caanan says
BEHR WITH ME
I would love to paint any room of the house–hubby insists on keeping the off-white. Maybe a free gallon would help him change his mind.
Krysta says
BEHR WITH ME! I moved into my current place nearly two years ago with great intentions to update…paint, countertops, hardware, flooring. With some free paint I might actually get one of those things checked off the list!
Jen says
“BEHR WITH ME” If I told my sweet husband I won some free Behr paint I know he would gladly help me remove the outdated wallpaper and border from our eat-in kitchen and update it with the color Brown Teepee. I’ve got my fingers crossed. Thanks!
ANV says
BEHR WITH ME while I paint the entire upstairs of my house.
Audry says
“BEHR WITH ME”
Man oh man, do we need this paint! We’re redoing the master bathroom in our fixer-upper house. The carpet and old shower have come out and we’re putting in heated tile floors (for those cold Alaskan winter mornings), a new expanded shower and lighting. I would so appreciate some snazzy Behr paint to put the finishing touches on this remodel.
Michelle says
BEHR with me! 4 rooms down…3 to go! I have a great room that has some wooden beams somewhat similar to the post late last week. I’m looking forward to polishing them up a bit, but then what color to paint the walls?? I don’t know if something too bold will make the room feel dark–but plain beige just isn’t in my DNA!
Rachel says
Behr with me! I’d love to re-paint our kitchen/den – a nice neutral tan but that’s easier said than done – so many choices!
Vicki says
BEHR WITH ME … would love to paint virtually every surface in my 1980’s kitchen — walls, cabinets, ceiling, trim, etc.
MaryB in Richmond says
BEHR WITH ME — KITCHEN! Totally kitchen.
Lisa says
BEHR WITH ME!
I would love to repaint the kitchen. It’s a hideous mint green right now. :)
Kelly says
BEHR WITH ME … behr with us … oh, my. We need to paint our bedroom SO bad. It is the most awful Grey Poupon color! I long for a calming blue-grey!
Julia Harts the Man says
BEHR WITH ME
We just moved to a new house so I need to paint EVERY room! and remove a lot of wallpaper…ugh!
