***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!!!! PUUUHHHLEEEEZE!! Does that help the randomizer when we beg & plead? We just bought our own Hansel & Gretel brick rancher..got our keys last thurs…since then its been non stop painting & ripping up carpet, putting up a new fence for our furkids, etc. I think my mail is officially being sent to Lowe’s now…tonight I thought I would burst into tears in the paint section as I tried to convince my husband that we needed something bright for our kitchen (not ecru!!)..I wonder how many fights happen there!!
kristen says
color me… relaxed! i think it’s pretty accurate. i’m crossing my fingers for this giveaway as we could really use the paint! thanks for hosting.
Katy says
Color me… relaxed. :-)
joanie says
color me…relaxed- it’s all good!
polly says
Color me…relaxed modern! I think this is close to accurate! I’m sort of a contemporary cottagey French country modern person. I love contemporary clean lines but we live on a farm so everything has to stay pretty informal. Relaxed modern is a fair descriptor!
Marelis says
COLOR ME!!!! We are about to move into a brand new house with WHITE walls and will SURELY be needing some paint :) Hubby and I took the quiz and OMG how crazy dead on was it!!! It said we are Modern Country. He’s from KY and I’m from NY State….so it was too funny. We’ve managed to mix our styles very well so far, but until I read this the name of our style didn’t hit me…LOL!
Diana P. says
Color me…..sunny! Yep, fall is upon us and I am just feeling good. Plus, I have some Lowes color swatches hanging in my living room, somewhere along a yellow/sun/gold thing going on……..can’t wait to make the transformation!

Tracey says
color me!
we got… relaxed country. maybe i should take the quiz with dh, instead of guessing his answers, lol! it wasn’t close to what we would describe as our style- so i’m going to take it again when he’s home from work. :)
darah says
Color Me!!
They said we were Country. That was surprising.
I’m more trying to figure out how to merge our style with our two year old’s. She really wants her room to be orange. I have no idea how to do that. Especially with her royal blue carpet from the previous owners. That could be really awful!
Abby Grisham-Tichenor COLOR ME says
Color Me –
I love painting – I just wish my husband were a little bit more into like I am! MY results below are completely accurate I believe. Thanks!
MODERN! You’ve got a flair for style mixed with a contemporary edge. Go bold! Take advantage of strong contrasting colors like black and white, and pair that with some sleek urban decor. Indulge your high fashion sense with some daring and unconventional accents as part of your overall look. Check out Regal Plum 1002-7A, Woodlawn Silver Brook 5001-1B, Bay Sands 5008-1B, City Steam 7006-5 and Mystic Taupe 1002-9A.

Natalie says
COLOR ME!
Wow, your quiz results describe you guys perfectly!
We are “Modern Classic” – I have a more “daring and urban style” and Ben has “more traditional and historic interests”…so, we are to “choose a neutral color palette for your walls and add strong, bold accents” which is exactly what we have done! Great quiz, thanks :)
Emmy says
Color me! – well the quiz said “COUNTRY CLASSIC” but I totally hate all things plaid so I’m not sure about that, but hey color me anyhow :)!
