***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…

Stacey says
PAINT ME!
On a whim, I picked up a funky bath mat at Home Goods and it’s now made me completely change my color choice for our bathroom walls (they’re currently sporting some super ugly wallpaper that the previous owners chose sometime during the 80’s!).
Amanda says
PAINT ME!
I took some really great textured pictures of driftwood and old tree stumps at our holiday trip to the beach over the weekend and I think some of the natural tones would look great in our house!
Thanks for this great giveaway. We love Olympic paints!

I’d love to draw some inspiration from my Ireland photos. That country is beautiful!

I plan on painting a burgundy accent wall based on one of the deeper colors of a sunset. We’re getting ready to paint our living room and Olympic is the only paint we’ve used so far!
Gina says
PAINT ME!
I dream of colors all day long as a graphic designer, the hardest part of owning a home is coming up with color for the walls that I will be satisfied with. I’m planning on a neutral wall color and decorating with bright fun colors! That way, I can change up the room with a new pillow, flower arrangement or photo, etc.

PAINT ME! I was just at the beach this weekend, and it was beautiful.. I’d draw my inspiration from that.

Cessna says
PAINT ME!!
Gina says
Paint Me!!! I’d love to use a recent painting on canvas I made to match a color. It just doesn’t pop against my dingy antique white walls the way it should.
Liz says
PAINT ME!
I’m inspired by the colors of the leaves in the Fall along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Amy Lipski says
PAINT ME!!!!
I am inspired daily by those darn FB updates I see from Pottery Barn and Homegoods. I drool at every item the post. Most recently those cute new lampshades at Pottery Barn with the embroidery…SO CUTE!
Emily says
PAINT ME!
This will sound strange, but the pattern on our son’s infant swing has inspired me to do our guest bedroom in the same colors (gray, yellow and white). It just looks classier than the average baby accessory! Props to our friends Matt and Chrissy who gave it to him.
Kelly says
PAINT ME!
My new baby, Connor, has some inspiring colored blankets in fall tone colors. I love this time of year!

I need a color for my eat in kitchen and I already have a fabric swatch I’d like to work with
Sarah says
PAINT ME!
I would love to design a room around the gorgeous colors of fall leaves. I typically hate dark colors, especially on the walls, but the deep yellow, orange and red hues of fall get me every year. I’ve got to find a way to incorporate those colors without darkening my living space.
Miranda says
PAINT ME! I am inspired by YHL’s color palette!
AManda says
PAINT ME!
Blog befores and afters inspire my painting plans!

I’m getting married on the 25th of this month, and I had painted the bedroom when it was just me. After the wedding I think it would be nice to repaint and decorate to make it feel more like “our” bedroom :)
Sara says
PAINT ME
I have a brightly colored rug that would serve as some good inspiration for a whole house! That is if you love color like me!

We recently purchased this print from etsy
http://www.etsy.com/listing/51773984/all-you-need-is-love
and are planning to use the grays, light pink and white as a starting point for our bedroom and bathroom. So excited to get started..this paint would be a huge help!
Kathy says
PAINT ME!
Can’t think of anyone thing that has inspired me. But I would love to win this paint! We have been wanting to paint our daughter’s room gray for a few weeks now, but with all the back to school expenses it just hasn’t been in the budget!
Suni says
PAINT ME! I used my duvet to inspire my bedroom walls! It completely changed (and enhanced) the look of the duvet! I LOVE it! Those walls have now inspired 3 rooms in OTHER PEOPLES homes to be the same color! BEAUTIFUL!
Beth says
PAINT ME!
I’m trying to draw inspiration from Indian decor since my main man is Indian. I want our home to reflect both of us. Lucky for me I love color and Indian design is full of it!
Katie says
PAINT ME!
We have a print of tree bark up-close that looks a bit abstract but incorporates such fabulous earth tones; everywhere from icey blues and ivory tones, to rich, dark caramel and deep browns. We’ve thought of having the print enlarged and framed to put above the fireplace in our living room. The wall colors, furniture and accent pieces would be inspired from the print.
