***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…

I’m actually dying to just MATCH some of the colors that came on our walls – there are some serious serious scuffs that Magic Eraser isn’t doing anything to, so I’d sort of like to just find the paint color and paint over the whole thing!
Katy says
Paint me!
I love the colors of the ocean.
Heather says

I’m hoping to paint my bathroom soon. I just bought these awesome canvases with a bright blue and orange bird on each of them, and have twig bath accessories.

PAINT ME !! PAINT ME !! PAINT ME !!
When we moved into our house 6 years ago, I made drapes for my family room. I still love the fabric and have no intention of changing. I would like to use the fabric though as an inspiration to bring a totally different set of colors out than I did originally. I think it would be beautiful. We really need to paint !!

Erin Brost says
PAINT ME!We welcomed a stray kitty in our home. My little girl Bella named Gnocchi(Curious George’s friend kitty). He is a soft pale gray, and has seaglass blue, green, gray eyes. I would pair the pale gray walls with seaglass and white in a room. In fact, I’m going to do this in our bonus room! Addicted to your site! The dresser in Clara’s room is exactly what my parents had in their room for many years where I grew up in Baltimore. Could it have made its way to Richmond?
Katelyn N says

chelsea says
PAINT ME! We still have builder-white on all our walls, and I am having trouble narrowing down my inspiration to one color scheme. I would love to change that though!

I find inspiration in all things nature… rocks, twigs, shells, sand, bark, pebbles, grass, leaves,….I think you get the point!
Sarah says

I saw a photo of a trendy restaurant with orange walls… and now I’m dying to work some orange into my kitchen! Probably not a whole wall, but maybe the backs of some shelves….. that would really set off my white dishes!

Ellen says
Paint me!
We fostered a pup with a blue eye years ago. She’s responsible for inspiring our ongoing commitment to fostering homeless animals and her blue eye was the most stunning frosty sky blue I’d ever seen. I’d love to be able to think of her every time I wander through the living room.

Jenet says
Paint Me!
When I first moved in, I painted half my living room a deep red and half a neutral beige. I’d love to change it up to something brighter and airy…perhaps a cool light yellow or light sand. I can just imagine the amount of primer I would need to cover all that red!
Laura says
Paint me!! I draw inspirational from my mother-in-laws beautiful country/rustic Texas home. The warmth you feel when you walking into her space is contagious!
Emmy says
Paint Me– All the rooms in my new house are white and it’s awful! My last house in the North was all warm tones and our house was very cozy. My new house is going to be cool tones to keep us cool and beachy here in the South– blues, greens, silvers… So far we have ONE room painted– our foyer. :)
somerset says
PAINT ME…as a graphic designer, I’d probably pick a color scheme from packaging or some other design, as mentioned in one of your previous blogs.

I have at least 3 color palates I have been toying with for quite some time. Maybe with this paint I can finally take the plunge!
Juli says
Paint Me!
I am trying to redo our office. The color I picked in there the first time is horrible…no one would want to work in there. I would like something in a relaxing hue to match the colors of the rest of my house.
