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”. Looking to redo my 8 year olds room and this paint would be perfect.

COLOR ME
candice says
COLOR ME, PLEASE!! That quiz was really neat. It was good to see that there is a middle ground for my husband and I because I was really beginning to doubt it but we’re “relaxed modern”. The Valspar color choices for that style are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. :)
Lana says
Color Me!
Blessings to you!

COLOR ME :
The Valspar quiz was fun, interesting, and even though it did not capture the ‘look’ we’re trying to go for in our bedroom the description was pretty accurate – we’re Relaxed Exotic.
We’re big time skiers – my boyfriend races downhill and I go to cheer him on, hit the hot tub and take all the action photos. We’re trying to go for a ski lodge theme in our bedroom out of with warm neutrals, plaids (and probably a few cliche antler accessories because we’re goofy and can;t resist).
Our bedroom currently is a light blue with a white ceiling coupled with dark wood trim and closet doors…not cuttin’ it! I’d love to transform the room from our past owners’ lack of creativity into our warm and relaxed lodge.
Joanne says
Color Me Happy! We’ve just put up drywall in our laundry room and I want to completely transform the space into a happy place so that doing laundry wouldn’t feel like a chore. Pick me please! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
p/s: the quiz page doesn’t load up for some reason, I’ll try later.

Millie says
COLOR ME any color other than beige. Most my house walls are beige/tan. EEEWWww!
Sara says
Color Me! We also got relaxed on the quiz although I was cheating a bit bu guessing on my husband’s answers since he’s not around at the moment.
Stacy says
COLOR ME!
The quiz said we’re modern. I like what it suggested, too. I’d love to win some paint to jazz up our master bedroom!
Brooke says
COLOR ME..
My fiance and I got Relaxed also. Every room in our new house is white and definitely need some color.
Sheena says
Color Me! I got romantic…which seems kind of too traditional for me, but I do like warm and cozy…perhaps I should try again with my partner instead of guessing what he would say. :)
Tawny B says
COLOR ME!
No surprise to me, my style is relaxed. I only wish my home was as put together as yours.
Caitlin Steiner says
“Color me!” We got “relaxed country” which sounds about right :-)
Stephanie says
RELAXED!!! we are looking to repaint our bedroom, so it would be great to get some paint to assist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heidi Harder says
Color Me!
Arielle says
COLOR ME!
Our result was also “Relaxed”, which fit us pretty well. We are at the tail end of our own remodel, and many of our paint choices are the soft natural colors. Needless to say, we could sure use some paint!
Chelsey says
COLOR ME!! I’ll have to take the quiz when hubby gets home. I’m curious what it will say!
Jessica says
Color Me! We’re Modern Country. I like it but… doubt my husband would!
Anne V says
COLOR ME!
My style was relaxed romantic which definitely fits my decor taste/preferences. It would be great to win and be able to redo some walls in my new condo!
Megan Cook says
COLOR ME!
We’re Relaxed, but I’m not sure it entirely describes us. We have a very traditional color scheme/decor theme throughout our house. I think we definitely fit into some of the “Relaxed” category, but I’m not sure it’s a perfect match.
Kristen says
COLOR ME!! We just bought our first house – it needs some paint!
The quiz? Not so accurate – it labeled both me & my husband “relaxed.” We are NOT relaxed. We would like to relax…but we are NOT relaxed.
Sara says
COLOR ME!!!!
Karen K says
COLOR ME!
Elena says
COLOR ME! We got relaxed as well but that cannot be. Lies, all lies!
Emily P says
COLOR ME, pretty please!
Lacey says
COLOR ME!
It’s time for me to repaint the living room. My husband chose the color when we moved in and it’s a gold color and seriously gross. My hubby and I do not see eye to eye where design comes in, lol.
Christine Edwards says
Color Me! Style Quiz came back as Modern, which I could see, but I think we’re more relaxed contemporary. Fortunately we usually agree on stuff.
Andrew says
COLOR ME please!
dmh says
COLOR ME
I didn’t take the quick, but pick me! We close on a new house at the end of the month, and Valspar paint is our number 1 choice! (It’s also a local company for us being in Minnesota)
Courtney says
Color Me
Sherri says
COLOR ME! Our results came out “relaxed” … love it – it’s a perfect match for us!
Jill Young says
COLOR ME! We were relaxed, just like you and half the other people that posted. While I do think our style is relaxed, I wasn’t sure about the other stuff. It said we were interested in nature and being eco-friendly, but we both chose to go to a new city and to add a hot tub, neither natural nor eco-friendly!
Fatima says
COLOR ME!
Another “relaxed” couple, oh well… sometimes :)
I would love to try Valspar on my next paint project.
r8chel says
COLOR ME fabulous and single… which is why I’m not planning to take the quiz. :)
Franz Schneider says
COLOR ME! :D
Diana Schneider says
COLOR ME
Dani says
COLOR ME! Our result was “Relaxed”, which pretty well describes the vibe I’m going for in our house both in ambiance and color palette. My husband’s choice would be bold colors, though, so it doesn’t really cover a compromise of the two.
Ashleybailey says
COLOR ME!!! :)
Liz says
COLOR ME!
We are “classic and traditional,” which is right on the nose.
Katie says
COLOR ME!!!
allie says
Color ME!
Marikay says
COLOR ME
alisa says
Color me! We are relaxed – its pretty true to us as a couple. Hope it keeps that way as we start our our DYI home we just closed on today! :)
Amanda W. says
COLOR ME and then hang some lovely pics up too! :)
Cheryl says
COLOR ME! We fell right into the relaxed category along with you guys. We definitely go for lots of blues, so it’s not totally off :).
Jill says
Color Me!!
jesse says
COLOR ME!
Kerrie says
“COLOR ME”
So excited to begin painting the walls of our cabin in the woods. After months of slaving away on drywall, plumbing, electrical and construction, FINALLY we get to add the color. Icing on the cake!
Kristin says
Color Me….Relaxed Modern, a little correct (with some traditional elements thrown in there).
Robin says
COLOR ME! Our style turned out to be “country romantic,” although I’m not sure if it’s totally accurate because my man isn’t home to take the quiz with me so I was guessing for his answers. Also, I was thinking about buying a can of green paint this weekend, and it would be amazing if I won this contest :)
