***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” we were relaxed.
Katie says
COLOR ME!
Ha! We got “Modern Country”. This may be true, except that I make 99% of the decorating decisions in the house so it’s all modern-not country. =) That being said, I would love a beach house with shabby chic/country decs. (Sigh)…someday.
Emily says

And we just painted our living room RL’s snowy egret this weekend!

COLOR ME! We were relaxed country and our colors were Green Gardens, Antique Coral, and Cincinnatian Hotel Hunter Blue. It looked pretty accurate to me!
Lauren says
Color me! I’m getting ready to paint my bathroom and I could use some paint!

Together we got “Relaxed,” which is fitting because thus far our home is filled with cool neutrals!
Heyruthie says
COLOR ME with Valspar paint! I have a lot of ugly wallpaper to take down and then comes the paint!
Dana Miller says
COLOR ME! If hubby was awake, I’d make him take the quiz with me.
Maria says
Color Me!
We are Relaxed too! Frighteningly accurate, if you ask me. Except for the Grimace purple bedroom. Not terribly relaxing at all.

Kirsten says
Color me!! I’m dying to repaint! :)
Steph says
COLOR ME Please!
I got Modern Exotic
Karrie says
Color Me!
Relaxed Country for us. It was accurate as far as “seeking a comfortable environment” and using “sustaninable furnishings and nostalgic pieces” but other than that we don’t consider ourselves country. Fun quiz and my husband surprised me with his answers–always fun to learn something new about him.
Tamara says
COLOR ME! We are relaxed. I think it’s about on for us. Thanks for the giveaway!
Jaci says
Color Me…please :)
teamarnott says
Color Me! We were “Relaxed and in harmony with each other’s styles” which is not true most of the time! We have very opposite design styles, but I still love him :)
Emily says
Color Me!
Our style is relaxed, totally accurate!
pianolover83 says
COLOR ME! Our style is relaxed.
Carrie says
COLOR ME!! We’re relaxed exotic. I’m not sure what that means, but the description definitely seems to fit us, because we love to travel. This would be a great prize for us because we’re looking to move in the next few weeks and will be needing paint! ;)
Jen G says
Color Me!
We took the quiz and got relaxed, which is true, but what the described was more modern than we like.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Christy says
COLOR ME!!!
Anna B says
COLOR ME! We’re relaxed, but I’m thinking we’re probably a slight mix with something else. My husband and I are both psychologists and tend to over-think questions like those–though it sure was interesting to hear him debate for a couple of minutes over whether he should pick solar panels versus a window seat!
Anna A. says
Color me…. ready for another painting project! :)
Francy says
Color me, é fazer sentido para mim!
Amanda Ray says
COLOR ME!!!! My husband and I just bought a foreclosure home and it needs paint both inside AND out!
Erin says
COLOR ME!
“Relaxed” was spot on for us for us, too! Thanks, that was fun.
Jennifer says
Color Me!!
And we are relaxed … very true!

COLOR ME.
Our style was relaxed-romantic i agree. I am about to by some paint so this would be great!
Alicia D says
Color Me
We got Modern, which is spot on. He prefers Zen accents, while I prefer modern elegance.
jamie says
COLOR ME! I’m relaxed classic.
Robert says
COLOR ME
We got Relaxed – no big surprises, there!
Sarah says
Color me! Relaxed Country… I somewhat agree. Our look is more beach-county-cottage with a little modern thrown in.
MaryB in Richmond says
COLOR ME!!
And … I don’t actually have combine my style with anybody else’s any more, so …
Patricia says
Color me. . . we were relaxed. Boy would I love to relax after painting my bedroom!
Haynes Family says
COLOR ME!! :)
This couldn’t come at a better time – we close on Friday – so here’s hoping for a can of paint for our drab, unpainted, uninspired new house. I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Our results: relaxed :)
