***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!

Dana says
Color Me! Just bought a new house…would love to get painting :)
Kalee says
COLOR ME! Apparently ours came out modern, which was surprise, but the description kinda fit us. I guess maybe we’re more modern than we thought!
Natalie says
We’re relaxed exotic. Correct on the relaxed part, but I’m not sure how exotic we are. Anywho, COLOR ME!

Yet another for relaxed… :)
Daniel says
Color me.
Carmen says
COLOR ME! We are MODERN COUNTRY. I think that’s pretty accurate as I’m very drawn to the Pottery Barn/Better Homes and Gardens type looks.
Tracie says
“Color Me!” We came out to be Relaxed Classic which is a pretty good guess. We are wanting to paint our basement and a free gallon would be a huge help.
Susy M. says

I make most of the design choices around our house, and so far, my husband has pretty much agreed :)
Brooke says
COLOR ME
Holly says
COLOR ME
Modern country describes me and hubby personally–I’m modern and he’s country. :) As a design theme, not so much…we’d probably be more “early hand-me-down.”
Heather D. says
COLOR ME! Our quiz results were also Relaxed. Must be a common result or at least common among your readers. We are still trying to figure out our style, but relaxed seems to be pretty close.
Amy S. says
Color Me! We are RELAXED.
Britni Buss says
COLOR ME :-)
We are MODERN EXOTIC, I agree completely with the out come. We would love to finish off our home, with the last room to paint (Sun Room / Library).
Wishing everyone good luck! I can’t wait to see the Before & After pictures on who wins!

Chelsea says
COLOR ME!
BeaBee says
COLOR ME!
I had to answer his questions as well as mine, but the quiz says we’re relaxed, just like you guys. This is really clever and probably quite effective marketing, by the way. Valspar wants to get its name out there in a way we’ll pay attention to, you want the ad revenue, and I actually appreciate the thoughtfulness and careful targeting of something I might actually buy! Yay for giveaways!
YoungHouseLove says
Hey BeaBee,
Actually we don’t make ad revenue or get paid for doing our weekly giveaways. We just love rewarding our amazing readers with fabulous swag and we’re grateful to all of the companies who approach us to keep it coming!
xo,

JAG says
COLOR ME! We are also a relaxed couple and blues, greens and grays are our favorites. We plan on painting soon, so we could really use the free paint. Thanks for this opportunity.

Color ME!
christina says
“COLOR ME”, Our kitchen could use a fresh coat of paint.
Jacqueline says
COLOR ME! We could so use this right now!
Alison says
Color Me! We are Relaxed. I hope that’s the feeling our home has when we move in a month!
Eve says
COLOR ME!
Sherry says
COLOR ME!!!!! Wow, 5 gallons of paint would come in so handy since we’re planning a pretty drastic paint makeover in our upstairs. We took the quiz and it came out relaxed country. For some reason I’m thinking that maybe my style and my husband’s are SO different they just picked something maybe neither of us particularly go for…opposites do attract!!!!
Sarah says
Color me so I can color my bedroom! I ttk the quiz and we got “relaxed modern”, which is fairlt accurate!
mallory says
COLOR ME! We are buying a 1902 craftsman and the bedroom could use a nice coat of paint!

Lindsey Rowland says
COLOR ME!!! Our result was relaxed like your answer was. I love a simple but inviting place that has a southern living type charm to it. I want to repaint my bedroom so bad so I hope I win!!
Drake says
Color me! (bad)
QuatroMama (Mom to Quads) says
COLOR ME….Bad! =)
Here’s how our recent paint job for the quads room turned out. I love the two tone blues together with the plate rail.
