Fab Freebie: (Anything But) A White Christmas
***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
We often daydream about having the iconic white Christmas here in Virginia (which is extremely rare in these parts) but after this weekend’s crazy snowstorm it looks like we might actually have one. Or at least a whatever-color-you-call-half-melted-dirty-snow-that-hangs-around-for-a-week Christmas.
But as of today we think you’ll be dreaming of a holiday with a bit more color thanks to Glidden. So yes, as Sunny, Lacey, Travis and Nicole guessed at the end of last week’s giveaway, this week’s prize of “one of our all time favorite items” is indeed paint. In fact, Glidden’s got a gallon for a handful of you in your choice of color and finish so there’s plenty to go around.
And if we haven’t already made it abundantly clear in over two years of blogging: we love Glidden’s colors. From Gentle Tide in our bedroom and kitchen to Sand White in our living room and guest bedroom, we’ve got Glidden’s fantastic hues on almost every wall of our house. And even though we’re sad that some of those colors didn’t make the cut when Glidden revamped their line earlier this year, we totally dig how user-friendly the new lineup of colors are (they even suggest complementary accent hues on the back of each paint swatch). Plus you can easily browse inspiration rooms and coordinating color schemes both in-store and on their web site and they offer tester bottles with built-in brushes for every color. It doesn’t get much more convenient that that.
But enough jabbering. It’s time for the entry details:
- PRIZE: Each winner will receive a voucher to be redeemed at their neighborhood Home Depot for one gallon of Glidden paint in any color and finish of their choice.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “CAN ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us what colors are getting you into the holiday spirit this season. Is it the traditional red and green pairing? Unconventional schemes like lavender and silver? Or do you really just have your heart set on that white Christmas concept?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 23rd at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: FIVE!
- PRIZE SHIPS: United States only
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

CAN ME!
We really love green but I also like the Blue/Silver/Purple’s this year. I’m not so much a traditional red and green girl.
CAN ME!!
This year, I’m doing lots of silver with aqua and some deeper turquoise-ish blues. Next year, back to traditional red. :-)
CAN ME!
I love metallics. That’s my favorite this year.

I am really looking forward to the White VA christmas. I can’t say that I have every had one in the 31 years I have lived here… or say I remember one.
CAN ME! I really do love the traditional red and green at Christmas – makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. :)

I still favor the traditional red and green but my wife is getting teal and red involved.
CAN ME!
The boyfriend and I are spending four days up at Lake Tahoe after Christmas, so I’ve gotta say that white (snow!) is primarily the color for me this year.
I have two of Target’s white feather trees (snagged during a post-sale) on our dining room table, each with a spiraling garland; the taller with silver, and the shorter with a dried, red flower lei.
Please “CAN ME”

This would sure help with the re-painting of the ENTIRE downstairs of our house we have planned for holiday break.

This year I am all about the metallics – silver, gold, bronze, white.

In our 60′s house we decided to go with retro/modern Christmas decor this year: A white tree with aqua, hot pink, and lime accents. It’s super cute!
Can me! My tastes for Christmas aren’t much different than my tastes for the rest of the year. I love blues, greens and a little sparkle thrown in for good measure.
CAN ME!!! Hooray, I am working on paint colors now for our mini-bedroom redo. :)
For this Christmas – I love gold!
Can me!
Red and silver are my decorating colors of choice this time of year.
CAN ME! I love all the bright unconventional colors I’ve seen mostly in Target. The teals, magentas, and oranges.
CAN ME!!
CAN ME please!
We currently have a “Sassy” green (according to Benjamin Moore) wall in our living room, so Christmas green doesn’t look so great next to it. I’ve opted for deep red and gray this year.
Can Me!
I decorated with mostly red this year.
Can Me! I am still a red and green kind of girl!
Can me!
I went with teal, lime green and silver this year.
CAN ME!!! I love the traditional red and silver/gold.

The perfect dark green of our christmas tree next to the colorful sparkling lights always gets me in the spirit!
“CAN ME”
And I find myself adding little touches of red all over my house this holiday season!
CAN ME!
CAN ME!
My favorite colors this Christmas have been all greens…dark greens, lime greens, Christmas greens, even army greens…I am loving greens because there are few of them that clash when they’re all together, unlike PURPLE. Filthy purple.
Can Me! For me, it always comes back to red.
CAN ME!!
I am attempting to make Christmas more blue and silver…but, with the kidlet, it’s more red & green.
CAN ME!!
For me this year, it’s silver and white with lots of shinyness and sparkles!
CAN ME please!!
I love Silver and purple!
CAN ME with a gallon! Like you DIYers, we’re renovating our bathroom too…which is proving to be a more difficult task than we thought. A fresh coat of paint would definitely complete the job.
Green, Silver and Purple have me in the mood for Chrismas this year….red should totally just stick with Valentine’s Day :) Happy Holidays!
CAN ME!
It’s red and gold at my house for the holidays.
