***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
Since my oldest daughter had her room painted the year we moved into our house. I would paint my youngest daughter’s room. I would go with a shade of yellow. She will soon be transitioning from her crib to a toddler bed. And I plan to buy the Stella bedding from Pottery Barn Kids. So a nice shade of yellow would love great. Plus it would go with all her lambies.
Melissa says
BEHR WITH ME We want to change our son’s existing nursery yellow to a blue, green or tan big boy room.

Hi. Ok, so BEHR WITH ME. My husband and I are always changing and redecorating our almost 2 yr old condo. When we first moved in, we too did the schizophrenic paint color plan…but it’s too tiny for that, and we were lacking the flow. So room by room–we are repainting. : ) And we love Behr paint, we can’t say enough about the quality and color selection. I really hope we win–I’ve got a chartreuse office that needs to be quieted down big time! ; )
Katie says
BEHR WITH ME! Would love to paint the guest room for a nursery in the future.

behr with me!
we moved into and repainted 90% of our house last year. i was about 7 months pregnant and our master bedroom STILL hasn’t been painted. in the meantime, i’ve changed my mind and am not feeling the creamy neutral we had planned on. i’m thinking a soft cocoa color…like a cup of hot cocoa with cream stirred in…yum!

BEHR WITH ME…I’ve got a lot of painting to do! I have my eye on the gorgeous jungle trail as a bold statement for my living room, although my husband might prefer a few shades more nuetral, or the harvest brown for the master bath. I’m a graphic designer so I live color! Can’t wait to add more to my house!

BEHR WITH ME…because I’m addicted to paint. I’m going to paint my kitchen(again). It’s green now but I think it needs some warm sunshine yellow. 6 colors in four years isn’t a bad thing is it?
Stephanie says
BEHR WITH ME! We need to paint EVERY room in our house! The first room will be the living/dining/loft area because it is just too white. We are looking into a nice beige/light brown color to go with some medium-colored hardwood flooring.

BEHR WITH ME … I just put a bid on a new house today and it DESPERATELY needs a new paint job in the dining room!
michelle says
BEHR WITH ME!
I have been planning to paint our (finished) basement. It’s a boring tan right now. I’m going to play with the tool you just featured so I can show my husband. Most of the time he doesn’t “see” my proposed changes. If it were up to him we would never make any changes because he’s nervous it won’t turn out.
ps. I just painted my teeny tiny office (and like you, the future possible nursery) a very bright aqua. just like the blue from tiffany and co. I might be partial, but I think the bright happy color really makes the room pop.
Kirsten says
Behr with me!
Well, I want to paint our ensuite Liberty blue, our kitchen a tropical orange, and the kid’s bathroom a misty green (although for the most part our house is taupe). That colour fan would sure come in handy to decide. I also found a freebie dresser to paint for the baby on the way. I’m thinking a bright sunflower yellow.
erin g says
BEHR WITH ME… i need to paint my spare bathroom white and chocolate brown. (is it weird that i’m almost more excited about the fan deck?!)

Danielle says
BEHR WITH ME! We’re planning on repainting 2 rooms – a spare/guest bedroom and den/piano room – both thanks to some lovely water damage from our aging roof. A giveaway would come in handy, especially here in Michigan – we’ve been in this recession way too long.
Sherri says
BEHR WITH ME! I could use some inspiration and paint as I redecorate my soon to be 13-year-old son’s room. Pirates of the Carribean have got to go!

Behr with me! We just finished painting two floor-ceiling bookshelves and I’m now ready to move onto something more. The dining room is up first (it’s a deep sea blue color) and I’m looking to greige it up a little bit. Next is the kitchen cabinets, walls, and possible to ugly pink tile too!
