***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! We have 12 rooms in our new house that we need to paint!
Sarah says
I could totally use some paint. We *just* bought a house (built in the 50’s like yours!) and while it’s been fabulously updated and the coloring is great, there are still some projects I have in mind.. painting some furniture in particular. :) Also, the knotty pine kitchen cabinets could stand a fresh new color.

**BEHR WITH ME**
I’m wanting to paint everything a fresh white!!!
I’m sick of all my dark walls!!!
Laura says
“BEHR WITH ME”
I have 4 painting projects that I am waiting for good weather to get going. The bathroom,living room, and 2 bathrooms!
Melissa Hancock says
BEHR WITH ME! I’d love to paint the whole shebang! Mostly our downstairs bathroom needs a major facelift- its 26!
Laura says
BEHR WITH ME! I’ve been wanting to paint our master bedroom a soothing, pale shade of blue. This could be just the kick start I need.
Kristy says
BEHR with me! I need to paint both our bonus/laundry/sun room that is still a flat beige and in need of serious touch ups (but we don’t have the original paint and we’re not buying builder beige) and our guest bedroom that turned out a little more orange than tan for my taste.
Katie says
BEHR WITH ME- After painstakingly choosing a shade of white for the whole house(who knew there are a billion different shades of white out there), I now think I want some color. My fiance just rolls his eyes!
Stacey says
Behr with me! I’m not planning on painting a room in my house, but often get put in charge of projects at the BF’s. Up next is the living room. We like to wait until the husband goes out of town, because we have found that we get far fewer objections to our collective genius that way. Something along the lines of Tobacco Road by Duron? Sherwin Williams? (via Nester) Suggestions?
Tina says
BEHR WITH ME-I am totally stumped what color to paint my bedroom! My husband wants red-we’ll see!
Meg says
BEHR WITH ME!!
I’ve been plotting to repaint the front room/kitchen a warmer tone. Nothing a free gallon of paint AND a fantastic swatch deck wouldn’t fix.
Susie says
BEHR WITH ME! We’re planning painting just about every room in our new house (the basic contractor flat beige is quite boring, not to mention it shows EVERYTHING). I’m planning to start with the kitchen/dinette area.
Debbie says
BEHR WITH ME–My husband and I are closing on our first house April 30th! The previous owners apparently thought pink was a good “neutral” color and it’s used allllll throughout the house. Needless to say, we’re planning some major paint projects before we move our stuff in and have some themes in mind, but no specific colors picked out yet! Wish us luck!
Jessica says
BEHR WITH ME – yes the laundry room needs a splash of color badly!!!!
marie says
I have too many boring white walls in my house, so I have plenty of projects I could use a gallon of paint on. I’ll start with the bathroom. It’s in dire need of some, uh, zing?
So… Behr with me and get me started on the zinging! :)
Shannon says
BEHR WITH ME!
My husband and I need to get rid of our builder white walls in our master bathroom!
Melissa says
BEHR with me! I would love a soft champagne color to paint the living room and warm up those white walls. Or even better, a soft blue/grey for the bedroom! Dreamyyy :)
Kristal says
Behr With Me!!
I really like that color, especially for a nursery – cute! I need to paint our office…it’s the only space in our house that hasn’t seen a paint brush since we’ve moved in. It’s still builder’s beige. :(
michelle says
“BEHR WITH ME”
My husband and I just painted the basement after 20+ paint samples! The lighting made it so hard to find the right color.
Next, on the list is the kitchen/sunroom.
Keri R. says
BEHR WITH ME – Yay for paint! We just finished painting our Master Bedroom in Behr Witch Hazel. It looks amazing! Nursery is next because we only have 4 more months to get that done! We are having a girl but I want to do a really pale muted blue!
Tressa says
BEHR with me-I’d love to find a fantastic new color for my son’s big boy room!
emilie says
BEHR WITH ME
I was actually using that program last w-e to try some outdoor color. And I think I found the perfect one! Thank Behr and Young House Love for that nice give away.
sjb says
BEHR WITH ME while I figure out what color to repaint the weird dark purple/blue walls of the bedroom in the apartment I just moved into!
lindsay says
BEHR with ME. We are in the process of getting a new house so there are several rooms we will need to paint.
Kristy says
BEHR WITH ME
My next paint project is our guest room. Maybe a light sage-y green? Or a calming icy blue? I seem to change my mind every other day.
Katherine says
Behr with me!
We are painting a lot of rooms in our house and next up is the kitchen.
Becki says
Behr with me! We are in the midst of finishing remodeling our ENTIRE house before we move across country! Lots of painting going on here!
marika says
BEHR WITH ME – my downstairs bathoom. it is currently putrid pink.
jessica says
BEHR WITH ME!
Lindsey says
BEHR WITH ME
Daniel says
Behr with me.
Morgan says
BEHR WITH ME – We’ve been in the house 5 years and everything in the living room is the same color from the floor to the walls to the ceiling and this is exactly what I need to light my fire to finally add some contrast! That and a 20 ft. ladder…
elaine says
BEHR WITH ME! Having a baby girl in August and will paint the future nursery either a light green or something neurtal that goes with pink/brown. Thanks!
Staz says
BEHR WITH ME! Our next room to paint is the kitchen (a nice creamy yellow) and then the bathroom after that (possibly a nice peaceful green). No matter what though, they’ll be done in Behr paint. After years of painting nearly every room of every house we’ve lived in, I can assure you that Behr paint is the best and I want to have its babies.
Ashley says
“BEHR WITH ME”
My husband and I just purchased our first home in February. So we plan to paint every room in the house! We are starting with the bathrooms next week.
Chelsea says
Behr with me please! We are planning to paint my daughter’s room and will need the exact right shade of pink to go with her pre-existing red velvet drapes. We have a couple shades that look right on the paint chip but will have fun playing with the Paint Your Place tool.
Missy says
BEHR WITH ME- My boyfriend and I need to re-do our main floor bathroom. We’re thinking of a beach-like retreat… maybe we’ll paint it blue, tan or green… or off white with accent pieces to carry the beach theme. We’ll see… we’ll see!
Erin G. says
BEHR WITH ME- We need to repaint our maste bedroom. I’m redecorating the room in Hollywood Regency, and would love some dark moody chocolate brown walls!
Stacy says
BEHR WITH ME – I can’t wait to get started on my daughter’s room! I think we’re going with some combination of purples and greens.
Jill says
BEHR WITH ME
I am going to spice up my rental. If I paint the walls, I won’t be so tempted to rip up the horrid shag carpeting.
Ivanka says
“BEHR WITH ME”
I’ve been planning to change the color of my home office as well as the master bathroom.
beth says
BEHR WITH ME because I have the most boring paint job to do: re-painting the kitchen ceiling. Not sure what happened up there, but it’s a mess!
Kathy says
“BEHR WITH ME” I have so many rooms I would like to repaint. For a lot of them I am looking to cover up old colors with white and then add some accent colors. My current faves are turquoise blue and spring green.
Melissa says
Behr With Me! We just bought a new house (a real stinker!) so we’ll be priming and painting every square inch! Yay!
Barbara says
BEHR WITH ME. We’re about ready to paint our living room/dining room/hallways/kitchen in our open floor plan. We’re thinking of Belgium Cream for everything but the dining wall and kitchen walls. There, we’re looking at something like Russian Blue. I’ll def use the Paint Your Place to decide. Thanks for the info about it.
Abbie in CO says
“Behr with me” is what I’d have to say to J if I told him I wanted to paint another room in our house! I think I would paint my office area, but I’m not sure what color… maybe a slate? coffee?
kristy says
BEHR with me! we want to re-paint the livingroom/kitchen open space. Something cool and crisp, maybe a light blue!
candra says
BEHR WITH ME! I have 3 rooms left to paint and I’m stumped on my master bath. I was leaning towards a blue-gray in a warmer tone (is there such a thing?). But now that it is spring, I’m now thinking yellow or gold. :)
kristen says
BEHR WITH ME! I’d love to repaint my 2 year old daughter’s room from top to bottom — that’s right…ceiling, walls, trim, and hardwood floors that are just begging for a stripe or diamond pattern. thanks for the opportunity!
Andi says
BEHR WITH ME! I love Behr paint. We’ve used it everywhere in our house. My husband painted a brick red accent wall before I met him and now that we are getting ready to sell I think that sucker needs to be toned down. A new gallon of Behr paint will be perfect. The fan deck will be extremely helpful in our new house. Also, Behr Sandstone Cove is the perfect light beige. It has just enough color in it to be interesting and it doesn’t have too much green or blue in it. We get tons of compliments on it.
