***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
I guessed at my spouse’s answers and got RELAXED which I think accurately describes our style!
Colleen says
COLOR ME!!!
I’m “Relaxed” too, and I would say it’s probably pretty accurate, though I was making my best guess for my partner’s choices since I’m at work…
I should mention that we are actually in the process of painting our ENTIRE first apt. together, trim, window frames, doors, walls, everything! And we’re using trusty Valspar of course. Best bang for the buck that I know of! Could DEFINITELY put another gallon to use…I’m thinking a light gray for the bedroom…
Lisa Accetturo says
COLOR ME!!!
My boyfriend and I are relaxed.. which hits the nail on the head for us :)
stephanie says
COLOR ME!
and we are relaxed. Although i mostly guessed my husband’s answer.
Kim says
Color me!
We will take the quiz when my hubby gets home. (I tried to answer for him and it came out Relaxed Country — NOT!)
Jennifer says
COLOR ME!
Jessica says
COLOR ME!! I guessed at my husband’s answers since he’s at work and came up with Relaxed Country. I’m pretty sure I answered his wrong though, because he is vehemently against anything that looks even remotely country!
Jill D. says
Color ME!!!
Valspar says we are country. Not too far off from our personalities, but not even close to our house. :)
Suzanne says
Color me, too! Great idea!
Evlbunniears says
COLOR ME!
Eclectic Country?!
Um, in a word NO. That doesn’t describe us, maybe more contemporary relaxed Asian would be more accurate but a fun quiz to take anyway!
Taryn says
Color me please!
RELAXED COUNTRY- I think it fits.
Melissa says
COLOR ME!
My husband and I are “Relaxed Modern.” Very accurate!
Lauren says
Color me!
Relaxed modern.
Kelly Strine says
“COLOR ME!!”
Relaxed Classic. Yup, that is about right.
christy says
Color me!
lindsey williamson says
COLOR ME!!!
nichole says
Color Me Please!
Robyn says
Color Me!
Anna M says
Color Me: Relaxed Classic…
I think this quiz is totally right on!
Sylvia S says
COLOR ME!
We are apparently a Relaxed Classic, which I suppose is pretty accurate as he has a very Traditional/Crafsman style and I have a very Romantic/Comfortable style.
Karla D. says
COLOR ME!!!
Relaxed, which is pretty accurate in our home.
We have been wanting to paint our plain white walls in my office/guest bedroom which will be a nursery one day in the future. It needs soothing coat of paint desperately!
Cheers!
Sarah R. says
COLOR ME!!
We are ‘relaxed exotic’. Not so sure about the exotic part but it sounds nice!
Michelle says
COLOR ME!!!
We are RELAXED ROMANTIC which I think is spot on!
Misty S says
Color me!
I cant wait to take the quiz!
Sarah G says
COLOR ME relaxed country!
Who knew?
lindsey williamson says
“Relaxed Country” was our style – though i would prefer it be called “relaxed rustic.” (There is something about “country” that makes me see pink and roses…) But, it’s description was pretty dead on!
Laurie M says
COLOR ME!!!!
It says we are modern. I would say the quiz is only half right. Throw in some traditional style and we have a winner.
Leslie Martin says
COLOR ME
I took the quiz 3 times. We are classic, then country, then classic country (depending on answers). The last one is probably more our style. As long as our house says welcome, come get a drink and put your feet up, I don’t particularly care about our “style”.
Dana says
Color me!
Took the quiz and it said we were “RELAXED MODERN”. Kind of agree with the description but don’t love the color choices. who knows :)
Melissa says
COLOR ME
Libby says
COLOR ME!
Relaxed modern. Hmm…I would have replaced modern with eclectic.
Amanda says
Color me!
That is what bathroom walls are saying! “Color me. I want to be yellow!”
Luckily I don’t have to merge my preferences with anyone else. But if that day comes, I think i’ll be pretty open to my future spouses ideas.
Tran says
COLOR ME
Our result was relaxed. I think it’s pretty spot on!
Kerry says
Color me! I didn’t have the chance to take the quiz with my husband, but I would sooo use that paint to paint my ugly kitchen cabinets!
Holly says
Color me!
Relaxed.
Beth says
Color me, pretty please! I have furniture to paint and a bedroom wall that is waiting to be striped. :) And we are RELAXED, apparently. Fun quiz!
Judy says
COLOR ME … hopeful :)
Brandi D. says
COLOR ME…
“Relaxed.” I had to guess at my husband’s answers as well. I suppose it fits us together, as a couple, since we have four children. :)
Alicia says
COLOR ME!!
EJR says
COLOR ME
Thanks for hosting!
Jessica K says
COLOR ME!
I think it was pretty accurate. We kept getting relaxed modern, relaxed classic. Fitting for us!
Meg says
COLOR ME!!
Our quiz was Country Exotic. Meh on the photo but the description part maybe. “You can have fun mixing more nostalgic furnishings with interesting pieces collected from exotic travels. Also you both have a flair for patterns, which can incorporate more unexpected colors or stay more traditional.”
kay says
Color me!!
Sara @ Queen of the House says
COLOR ME!!!!! (Pretty Please. :)
Stacy says
Color Me! Our results were… “Style match! You both seek a comforting environment. Though one of you may be more into sustainable furnishings and the other likes nostalgic pieces, you can still make those work well together in your home. You also both like neutrals and earthy colors, so don’t be afraid to bring in that country flair with something more bold.”
Megan N. says
Color me!!
My husband and I took the quiz and got “relaxed modern.” Pretty much right on the mark. We recently purchased my in-laws farm home and are in the process of new choosing paint colors for every room! Lets just say the current peach and seafoam green color combo isn’t really our style…
Heidi says
COLOR ME!!
Got relaxed which is what our new house GREATLY needs in order for the both of us to keep our sanity! Love the site by the way!
Susan says
COLOR ME!! Our combined style was Relaxed Classic, which seemed to suit us both pretty well!
Lauren S says
Color Me..
We are “relaxed.”
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.
Wendy A. says
Color me!
Relaxed.
Thanks!!!
