***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Paint a smile on your faces people, because that’s what we’re giving away this week! Paint, that is, not smiles (though hopefully smiles sort of come along with getting a prize, right?). This week we’re giving away a room full of paint from Olympic (that means 2 gallons of Olympic Premium Interior Paint and 1 gallon of primer) to THREE people. Woo hoo! We love this stuff because now no matter what color you get mixed, it’s still 100% VOC-free. Can’t beat that, right? And that’s exactly why we used it in our bathroom remodel earlier this year. Plus, Olympic just launched a new, free desktop application called ColorClix to help inspire your perfect palette.
Once downloaded, the little ColorClix box invites you to click anywhere on your desktop – a photo, a video, an icon, whatever – and syncs that color with one in the Olympic catalog. Like if I wanted to build a room around the adorable picture of a snoozing chihuahua I’d just have to click anywhere on his fur to get an Olympic paint color (apparently Burger’s eyebrow is “Stony Creek”). It also displays the rest of the colors on the virtual swatch as well as recommended complimentary colors.
The program also lets you save all of your inspiration colors in projects sorted by room and then you can use those saved projects to virtually paint rooms on Olympic.com. You know, if you really wanted to go as far as to let your dog’s coloring determine the coloring of your walls.
So go have some fun playing with ColorClix and check out the rest of this week’s details:
- PRIZE: One room of paint from Olympic, including 2 gallons of Olympic Premium Interior Paint and 1 gallon of primer
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “PAINT ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about a photo, object, or other inspiration item that you’d love to draw some paint palette inspiration from. Did you photograph a stunning landscape recently that could lend itself to an accent wall color? Have you spotted a vase or pillow at the store that could inspire a whole room?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, September 8th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Three
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck…

Paint MEEEE!!! I have an upstairs area I call the “playroom” which is the kid’s zone, for which I recently bought a great pillow from Target. The colors on the pillow are perfect: teal, pale blue, and mint. I imagine the room with irregular stripes of mint, teal, pale blue, and red for a little pop! The kids can’t wait I just need to get the paint and frog tape!

PAINT ME! I recently moved into a new home with WHITE WHITE WHITE walls everywhere. We bought this super cheerful multicolored chair in our bedroom, and would love to paint the walls a coordinating color but just can’t decide which would be best. This tool will be perfect for helping us sort out our choice, and the free paint will seal the deal!
megan says

PAINT ME!!!
Hi Youngsters! I just absolutely love your blog and look to you for most of my inspiration. My Hubs and I are closing on our house next week and I’m eagerly waiting to get started on all of our reno projects. Right now I’m completely obsessed with owls, namely the grey horned owl and I’m using that as the inspiration for our office. The owls are beautiful with bright acorn orange eyes and soft grey feathers…can’t wait to get started!!

This could not come at a more perfect time – I JUST sat down on the couch after finishing painting our living room. And we were just starting to pick out the colors for our bedroom since I fell in love with a new duvet and much to my husbands dismay have been inspired so h by it that I MUST re-paint our room (and decorate).
Allison says

when i went away to college, i used a bright fabric printed with chinese-style paper umbrellas to liven up my drab dorm room. i’m still drawing inspiration from that fabric – bold colors paired with feminine peaches and pinks. i’d love to be able to paint my room with that palette!
Betsy says

Paint me!
Painting our kitchen, entry and living room are on the To Do list for after the snow flies. I believe my husband would be much more inclined to help if the paint was provided, lol.
I love that the paint is VOC-free. My inspiration is a picture of the New Mexico sunset my husband took while we lived there. I want to recreate the warmth in our home.
Whitney says
