***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 ME! I’m inspired by a green painted wood floor that I saw in Coastal Living magazine. I don’t have any wood floors to paint but I’d love to incorporate the color somewhere in the new house I’m moving into next month!

PAINT ME
We just purchased a home and the shower has these weird aqua colored tiles. They are in excellent condition, so we won’t be able to replace them for a while. I’ve been struggling to find a color scheme for that room because I feel like nothing matches them! I hope ColorClix can inspire me!

My bedroom is pink since the ’80s. I want it to become a soothing oasis of gray/blue, cream, and silver, with only a pop of pink in a pillow perhaps and in my lovely set of photos of pink flowers.

HGTV *always* gives me inspiration for painting our rooms. Right now I’m hoping to win this so that we can repaint our kitchen. I was feeling the seafoam green when we moved in, and now it’s one of the last odd-ball colors left in our (mostly)now neutral palette.
