***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!
We also scored “Relaxed” which is funny because we disagree on almost every design decision. I love Valspar paint, but the quiz could maybe use a little tweaking!

amyks says
Color Me “relaxed” I guess it is pretty accurate and please pick me… we are soon to be painting an entire home and could really use some help, even if it is only a gallon. :)

color me! Apparently we are “relaxed country”…go figure.
Jennifer says
I always have the hardest time with colors…esp with large spaces. I’m fortunate to have a large master bedroom with room for a sitting area, but I’m torn on making it feel light and airy or warm and cozy. I don’t want it to feel sparse if I make it too light of color but I also don’t want it to be dark and look really small. How do you mix light and airy with warm and cozy for a bedroom?
YoungHouseLove says
I’d go for a warm neutral with some gold undertones for warmth yet a light and airy effect at the same time. Try Benjamin Moore’s Sepia Tan. Hope it helps!

Color me!
I’d take the quiz, but my husband is on a business trip! I will say that I could sure use a gallon of paint – we’ve been painting our (relatively) new house for a year and I could use some new color inspiration for a boring beige guest room.

Maha says
Color Me…
i agree with the result that we’re a relaxed style. for some reason i was expecting it to give us a different result because of how different we are, but yeah we totally balance each other out to become “relaxed.”
Brittany Erin says
COLOR ME!!
My boyfriend and I are moving into a new place and it needs to be painted very badly!
Mandy says
COLOR ME
The quiz dubbed the boy and me as modern country. “Urban meets country when you’re together” which is totally true. I’m a city girl and my boy grew up in the Berkshires!
