***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! Relaxed Country was our result…eek. I was hoping for Relaxed Modern!
Melissa @ this girl & that guy says
Color me!
We took the quiz together and got RELAXED! I think it’s very true – we rarely disagree on each others taste.
Ann says
Color me! We came out as Relaxed Country, which is odd – neither of us like country at all, in decorating or in music. :-) The description hit on several points, though, including “You both seek a comforting environment” and “You also both like neutrals and earthy colors”.
Jamie says

Amy says

Sigari says
COLOR ME.
Style was “relaxed exotic.” Description was close, if Valpsar means “looks like Hemingway lives there.” However, the colors recommended made us both gag.
Jenn H. says
COLOR ME! We’re in the middle of painting every.single.room in our house and this could come in quite handy.
indigorchid says
COLOR ME eager! Me and the boy are moving into a new apartment in mere weeks, and a gallon of paint would help make it so much more “us”!
Hmm… “Modern romantic” wasn’t quite us.. Oh well!
Kate says
Color Me….We are the Relaxed style too!!! We soooo need this paint too, we want to update some of our rooms.

Tori says
COLOR ME
Our result was relaxed. It seems accurate. Partly because I like the relaxed style, but mostly because my husband is a laid back person and lets me pick out the decor while he helps with the diys.
rebecca says
COLOR ME…
Sarah says
Color me!! Relaxed, right on target!!
Madelin says
Color Me.
Our results were Modern Classic.
Allison says
Color me…. relaxed. I think it’s pretty accurate and fun to do since we are just married (Sept 5th). 10 days in and we’ve already tackled many projects around my old house.
LINDZ says
COLOR MEEE!!! That was an interesting quiz to take together here’s our result!
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.
Jenny says
Color me :)
Amy says
COLOR ME!
We are relaxed country. Whatever that means.
We have painted almost every room in our house…we are down to the last one, so this pain would really come in handy!
Alyssa says
Color me!
We are relaxed…right on the money!
Donna @ dh designs says
Colour me sad :(
I live in Canada (as you can probably tell from my spelling of colour) and am not able to enter, but I did want to drop by and say how much I love your blog!
Haven’t tried Valspar yet, but a Lowes is opening soon close by, so it won’t be too long!
Laura says
Color me!
Candra says
Color me please!
Chrissie says

Kristin Johnson says
“COLOR ME” please!!! I am tired of my white walls and need some motivation!
Chanda Vallarian says
Color Me! We got Relaxed Country. Yep that is us. I just painted our bathroom the blue they showed.
Amy @ Renovation Innovation says
COLOR ME! We both got relaxed, which is kind of our style – we like calm and neutral colors, but go with a more sophisticated (rather than comfortable) vibe
Lauren says
COLOR ME …PLEASE!!!
Jessica says
Color Me!
I got relaxed which as we put our house together is definitely coming through. Its kinda hard to decorate too formal in a house where football gatherings rule and there are two big dogs running around all the time. I could see the Autumn Blaze in my living room as a great backdrop for all the wood and our leather sofa.
Jenny A says
COLOR ME!!!! We’re Relaxed!! Word.
Karen T. says
Color Me!! Our style is COUNTRY…dead-on!!
Danielle says
COLOR ME!!! We were also relaxed. i really want to try stripes in one of our rooms. Hope I win the paint!!
Thanks for the giveaway.
