***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!

We are “relaxed” which seems about right, especially considering how we have decorated our house together.
Abby says
COLOR ME! I’ve been itching to paint and this would be a great “excuse” :)
Philip says
COLOR ME
RELAXED CLASSIC
Only going out with girlfriend, but one of the colors is very close to what I painted my room last friday, so I think it is pretty accurate. Could do my next task of matching your bathroom paint stripes if I win.

Janny A. says
Color Me!! Relaxed style. I want some paint please!!

Color me…Country Classic! That’s exactly right. Our home is comfortable and traditional with a somewhat transitional twist. This gallon of paint would be a great start to updating our guest room!
MegRuth says
COLOR ME!
We’re moving into a new house next week and I will need a whole lotta paint!
micah says
COLOR ME…. relaxed :)
Andrea D. says
COLOR ME! We are closing on our first house next month and I’ve already got a long list going of all the painting projects to be tackled!
AfroWhitey says
COLOR ME
Being that my style consists of whatever is convenient to display my Star Wards and movie poster collections my wife has relegated my style to my office. so I’d love to get some paint to make it mine
Hayley says
COLOR ME!!!
We are apparently “relaxed romantic”… I couldn’t agree more!
Yvonne says
Color ME!
Relaxed Country. So wrong!! Oh, well, I’m sure this isn’t exactly scientific :)
jen says
color me… relaxed too! i can NOT wait to get a new paint color under my nails!
alexson says
COLOR ME
Relaxed, which is pretty spot on. We moved in in February and the house is mostly “us” now, except for the horrible, very bad, no good office. The walls look like a manila envelope and need some serious paintlove!
Jenna says
COLOR ME!
The quiz came out Country Classic – which, though I hate to admit it, would probably be a good blending of the two of us. However, I really, really don’t like “country” so out decor is definitely more classic/relaxed.
Barbara says
Color Me!!
We got relaxed..and it recommended the colors we were already planning on painting in our home!
Krista D says
COLOR ME!
We too are relaxed!
K Baum says
color me– relaxed modern
Nicole says
COLOR ME.
Our result was COUNTRY CLASSIC, which is ridiculous if you know us (or if you have seen our house)! But hey, this quizzes are never right, right?
Christin says
COLOR ME!
Hopefully I’ll have time to take the quiz soon! :)
sarah says
Color me…relaxed! I think the result is right on, but from the way we answered our questions, I wasn’t sure what the result would say! But we’re both really mellow and laid back, so the relaxed vibe is definitely us.
Gwen@MurphyGraceHome says
COLOR ME!
We are Exotic. The color choices are not so great though, but close.
Rebecca says
COLOR ME
Country Classic was our answer. Eeeeh, no. I just can’t handle the country thing. Although I did answer the question for my husband so if he answers the result may differ.
Julie K says
COLOR ME
Country- I’d say we are closer to relaxed/modern but not country at all. But I love the modern colors! Pretty.
Erin says
COLOR ME!!
I took the quiz for both of us since hubs isn’t around at the moment. I guessed what his answers would be and I’m not sure about the results! Modern Country. Both of us like modern, but neither of us are especially country :P
Fun quiz, though! We’ll have to take it again later when I get home!
Somer says
COlor me!
The hubbs and me after taking the quiz got:
Modern Country
Urban meets country when you’re together. Have fun with these two styles by incorporating your high fashion sense with your partner’s country charm. Modern tastes love daring and unconventional accents, utilize your partner’s affinity for plaids and stripes. Seek colors that really draw attention in your home
And that’s definitely our condo!
juco says
COLOR ME!
I’m retro and minimal – hubby wants comfortable. Together we are Relaxed!
Elise says
COLOR ME!
Our Dog/Laundry/Mud room needs an update in the worst way!
Heather says
