***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!

Jennifer says
COLOR ME!!
Didn’t take the quiz–not married, no boyfriend! (discrimination!)
I do however have a lovely little condo I’m in the midst of redecorating and want some paint!
pamela q says
COLOR ME!!
Amelia says
COLOR ME! Looks like we’re another “Relaxed” couple too (although the idea of that is a bit funny to me, as our lives seem to be very “un-Relaxed” most of the time)!
Lisa says
COLOR ME!
The test said we’re “relaxed exotic,” but i don’t think that’s right at all. Oh well!
Amanda says
COLOR ME! PLEASE!
“Modern Exotic”
Not exactly what I thought I would get, but fits us well. Getting ready to paint in preparation for our expanding family. I heart Valspar paint!
Christine says
COLOR ME! I’ve got painting projects on my list of to-dos!
Amanda & Anthony says
“COLOR ME!” We also got ‘Relaxed’ on the quiz and it is dead on to how we are. With our gallon of paint we would paint our tiny, tiny guest bathroom a soft grey.
Monika says
COLOR ME!
The quiz said we are modern, which I think is fairly accurate.
Betsy says
Color Me!
Relaxed Romantic… not bad! :)
Meredith says
COLOR ME
And yes, the quiz seemed pretty accurate.
Elizabeth says
COLOR ME! I would love to win this – Valspar paint is my favorite and I have SO many things to paint!
Maria says
COLOR ME
Bri says
Color me!
The quiz pegged us as relaxed exotic, which is interesting because I don’t think we’re very “exotic.” Relaxed certainly, exotic, not as much.
Catherine M. says
COLOR ME! We are a relaxed couple. The colors they suggested actually match the colors we chose for the handful of rooms we painted in our new house so far! Who knew. We’re now looking to paint our kitchen/dining room and our trim.
Hillary says
COLOR ME…. Relaxed Exotic! Which was not at all what I would have originally thought our style to be, but the colors suggested intrigued me. Perhaps we are a bit relaxed exotic.
Katie says
COLOR ME! I got relaxed too!
Jessie says
COLOR ME!
Classic – You’re two peas in a pod when it comes to your classic tastes. You’re the perfect blend of sophisticated and traditional. Maybe you’re inspired by a particular historic period? Or you’re just drawn to timeless pieces with clean lines.

COLOR ME
This comes at a PERFECT time. I am about to repaint a horrid red-not-painted-with-primer-was-there-when-I-bought-the-house bathroom! I am tempted to do stripes for this half bath. Oh, this makes me happy!
CeCe says
COLOR ME
color us = relaxed, which I think is most fitting!
Carrie H says
Color Me!!!!!!!!!

And it would be TOTALLY correct! =) My dream house would be the house from Somethings Gotta Give with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson. =) I love all the calming colors.
I am getting ready to RE PAINT my boyfriends room again, in a light gray color!

We are also relaxed :)
Emily says
COLOR ME!
Well, I dont have a “partner” to do the test with, so unless I liked 2 options I chose the same thing. Good thing it came up as a style match! hehe. It said RELAXED COUNTRY — I agree with relaxed, but not so much country.
cait says
