***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
This week’s giveaway sponsor practically needs no introduction. It’s Valspar Paint (which Meredith successfully figured out last week from our anagram clue). They’re giving away FIVE gallons of their high quality, Ultra Premium interior paint (one each to FIVE of our lucky readers). So we foresee a handful of paint projects in some of your futures… and hopefully some before & after pictures as well.
But Valspar isn’t just offering up paint this week, they’ve also created a great online resource for couples faced with the challenge of combining their styles. The “Love, Our Style” site includes some painting tips via a Painting 101 section, a photo contest where you can win a paint makeover, and – our favorite part – a quiz to help figure out how to merge your aesthetic with your partner’s.
And although Sherry and I feel like we’ve figured out our combined style pretty well, we jumped at the chance to see how we fared with the quiz. After 10 simple (and sometimes thought-provoking) multiple choice questions, the quiz revealed that our style is “Relaxed” which came with this description: “You’re in perfect harmony when it comes to your eye for the simple yet functional. When it comes to your home decor, eco-conscious style- like natural textures, tones and sustainable furnishings- can play a big part. Take your love of the outdoors and find inspiration in nature, with warm neutrals.” Pretty dead on, eh? Not to mention that the paint colors they suggested are pretty much right up our alley too.
So here’s the scoop on how you can score some free Valspar paint this week:
- PRIZE: One gallon of Valspar Ultra Premium interior paint in the color/finish of your choice
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “COLOR ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Head over to take the “Love, Our Style” quiz and share your results (and how accurate you think it is)
- CONTEST CLOSES: Wednesday, September 16th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Five
- PRIZE SHIPS: United States only
- THE USUAL: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

COLOR ME
Classic Romantic.
The hubby and I bought a house and moved in on Valentine’s Day this year. He’s good at giving me input, but I’m the one that usually makes the changes. We still have two bathrooms and at least two more rooms to make paint adjustments to. Just trying to find the time to do it all.
Katie says
COLOR ME too!
I’ve been busy painting all weekend- furniture, walls, and whatever else I can find.
I did take the quoz, and it said I was relaxed modern. Relaxed, yes. Modern? No way jose.
Robert & Jen says
COLOR ME!
Our result was “Relaxed Classic.” It seems to match pretty well. But as we don’t know what the other options would have been, we don’t how accurate it really is :-)
Dawn says

we took the quiz and we are Modern Classic!
I think that is probably right on…I love bright colors and he is all about neutrals. We just bought our first home and close in a month so this will be really helpful as we plan our to do lists!

COLOR ME!!!
Closing on my first house two weeks from today so this would come in very handy for repainting the walls once I rip down the awesomely bad blue and orange paisly wallpaper in the master bedroom (with bright orange carpet no less!)

Hey now, that’s not a single-friendly quiz! I was going to see what my style was, but I couldn’t be bothered to check all the extra boxes. ;)

We’re relaxed too. This will be perfect as we are hoping to put a bid in on our first home on Wednesday!
caitlin says
COLOR ME RELAXED
which is pretty accurate–I just bought a house and my partner has been a bastion of calm during the whole thing. According to the quiz a hot tub would be most enjoyed :) Too bad, city living says probably not…
Ashley Rich says
Color Me!!!
Marlena says
COLOR ME
we took the quiz and we are modern country…not too sure about that one
Vanessa says
Color ME! Relaxed Country. Does that mean ruffled curtains and blue ducks??? Not sure this was right for us. It was fun, though!
Aimee Gaston says
Color Me!
Shyla C. says

Country :-)
Intisar says
COLOR ME!
Hilary says
COLOR ME!
The quiz says that we are Modern Classics . . . which is pretty accurate except for the color recommendations . . . They suggest neutral colors with pops of bold. But we both love and adore bold walls and then have pops of neutrals. Mmm . . . colors =)
Jordan says

Stacy says

Nicole C. says
COLOR ME!
I could totally use some paint, I have so many projects that would benefit!
Took the quiz, we’re “Relaxed Classic”. I sort of agree, although I’m a very eclectic decorator so my style is hard to define. And the hubby just goes along with most of it :)
Christina says
COLOR ME!!
We are RELAXED CLASSIC!
Your styles were made for each other. It’s easy to blend you partner’s traditional and sophisticated taste with your relaxed style. You both are drawn to simplicity and clean lines, so this won’t be hard when picking furnishings. Some can be timeless pieces, while others adapt to today’s eco-conscious mentality. Colors like pale greens and blues work well for you.
Try Bayou Shade 6006-3C, Sage Bud 5003-3B, Green Monsoon 5008-3C, Lucy Blue 5001-5C and Weathered Moss 6007-3C.
You know whats really freaky?? the picture for relaxed classic is our EXACT bed set AND wall color in our bedroom! So I guess we really ARE relaxed classic!
