***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! I’m a traditional red, gold and silver Christmas girl!
nada says
CAN ME!!! We are painting our new place now and a deep red is what is getting us into the holiday spirit. But I love Silver!
Meg says
CAN ME … this Christmas I’m loving this combo: green, white, silver and gold. I haven’t used any red this year and really loving the fresh look of it.
Izzy says
Can Me! Deep Gold and Ruby!

“CAN ME”
This year I was inspired with silver, gold and white in my holiday decorating upstairs. And I then inspiration struck with red and white in our rustic basement. But what I’m really dreaming of is a white Christmas!
Emily @ Waldo Bungie says
CAN ME!
I can’t really say a particular color that’s been inspiring me this Christmas – but it’s more a theme – natural materials for every bit of our Christmas decor. I am loving all the natural materials being used for ornaments and garland, so I’ve been using a lot of that. And vintage-inspired ornaments. I’ve gotten a couple very cute 50’s looking ornaments for the tree.
Oh, and your house looks FANTASTIC draped in all that snow!
Kate M says
Can Me!!!
Our holiday colors this year are a little different…pink, blue, and green! While this is not what I would have picked, I decided to let our 3 year old daughter pick out all new ornaments and decorations this year. She loves it, and thats all that matters to me!
Katie G says
CAN ME!!!
I have a young son, so we tend to stick to pretty traditional decor (red and green) because it mixes in nicely with his homemade stuff!
Shanelle says
CAN ME!!! I am into the Lime Green and Red colors this year!!:)
Cara L says
CAN ME!!! i have decorated my living room with shades of red and brown. it looks great and pops off the blue walls!
nika says
Can me!
Liz M says
CAN ME (please!).
I love winter white everywhere, with some silver and green thrown in. Our tree, though, is a total hodgepodge of color!
Ang says
“CAN ME”
Cassie says
Can Me!!!
I can’t get enough of silver, white, then throw in some shimmery blues. I think it has something to do with never seeing any white on Christmas, living in Florida and all. Heck, we’re lucky if it’s below 60 most years!
Melissa says
CAN ME!!!
I have always loved Blue and Silver for holiday colors. I have a mini Christmas tree with blue and silver balls, and of course the random ornaments from crafts at day care.
Cassie says
CAN ME!!! My husband and I are all about silver and pea green this year. Merry Christmas!
woonli khiew says
can me!Vintage white……
CherylP. says
CAN ME!!!!!!
I’m firmly in the red/green/white camp. Love red/green plaid for creating that warm, festive feeling. In our formal living room, we do a burgundy, pink and silver theme. Very elegant, but doesn’t get me like the red/green plaid.
Merry Christmas, Everyone!!!
Patricia says
Can me!! Love red and silver! So fun! Hope I win!
Amy says
Can Me!
I’m loving a combination of green, white, and brown this season.
Ryan says
CAN ME! Traditional all the way.
Kristin Johnson says
“CAN ME” and…I really need to start on the painting of my house (I have only done the laundry room, in case I messed up or just totally sucked at it, it would only just be the laundry room) and mayne this will get my rear end into gear! I should start something like this on a long weekend…hmmmm
Jill A says
Can Me!
I’m totally into teal and silver this year!
Jamie says
“CAN ME” silver and gold=classic
chelsea says
CAN ME!!
I am loving the tradition silver and red this year. But it’s hard to think about that when I’m just sooo hopeful of getting some paint – we just moved and are in desperate need of making our white walls look lived in!
Nicole says
“Can Me”!
I love the traditional red/green/gold combo, however over the past few months of looking at holiday decor I have converted to ‘spunky’lime green and red with a little big of silver!
We are moving into our ‘new/old’ house (a house we owned in the past – weird, I know) so paint will definitely be our main focus over the next month!
Thanks~Nicole
Siobhan says
CAN ME! Red & White are my favs!
Michelle says
Can me! I’m inspired by green. All shades of it.

Meghan says
Can Me!!!!
I am pretty traditional. Red, white, and green along with some silver and gold.
Kate says
Can me – silver and gold! Oldies but goodies!
Katie says
CAN ME!!! I am all about silver and teal this holiday season.
Jen says
Can Me!!
This year I’m really enjoying a wine/merlot color paired with silver (Think: shiny glittered ornaments piled in a large basket that is wrapped with a thick satin wine colored ribbon..)
Amanda says
Can Me!
Please! I have a baby room that needs some paintin’. Red and silver in different textures are our colors for the holiday this year. I’m hoping we get a beautiful white Christmas here in good ‘ol St. Louie…
Liz says
“CAN ME”!!!!
We’ll never see a white Christmas here in San Diego so I’ve decorated in silver and white this year to bring some of that “Winter Wonderland” feel to our house.
FJ Tran says
CAN ME!!!
I went a little brighter this year and did the fun holiday ornaments in glass vases around my living room. They had really fun pink, turquoise and green colors at Michaels. I spotted them while frame shopping. They will go on my tree next year, which is all white and blue as of now. Such fun holiday colors this year!
Emily Wallace says
CAN ME!!!
I am going to paint my kitchen next week :-) I love red and green, but I have all ornaments that mean something on our tree. No theme :-) Everything with a story!
Lara says
CAN ME!!
I’m going with metallics- mercury glass ornaments in silver and gold colors, and then ivory or white for everything else to contrast.
Laura V says
CAN ME! We’re a white, silver and lime green family this year. I love how fresh it looks!
Doris L says
CAN ME!!!
My holiday colors are tradional: green, red, and gold…with peacock feathers thrown in the mix!
Happy holidays everyone!
Christin says
CAN ME!!!
I am one of those weird people who LOVE snow! Sure I get sick of the dirty snow and having to parallel park in it in the city, but I still love it. :) For Christmas I am really into straw ornaments with red thread. It’s a Swedish thing. So simple and beautiful.
Annie P. says
Can me! I love the deep reds, dark greens and golds this time of year!
Megan says
CAN ME!
This year I am a red and gold kind of girl! Red is already the accent color in our living room, so it makes it even easier to coordinate!
SAMIJ says
CAN ME!
Red and green 4evah.
Amanda M says
CAN ME!!! the color i seem to be drawn this year to is gold. it actaully started with your blog too. i saw how you used your candlesticks as decor by adding ornaments to the top. i found some oversized gold ornaments at target and voila, instant christmas decor to my blue glass candlesticks! it didnt hurt that i also had a bunch of gilter gold and blue ornaments that i put in a tall cylinder. the theme just kept going!
Megan says
CAN ME!
I go for white, silver, light and dark blues and some cooler gold tones to get in to the holiday spirit. Most of my year-round decorating is in the blue/green/gray family, so I like for our Christmas decorations to compliment the established scheme.
jenae says
“CAN ME!”
I love silver and gold together, and anything with glitter or sparkles!
Melle says
CAN ME!!!!
Our house is a sea of silver and red,
Tracy says
CAN ME!
I am so all over hot pink! I think it’s a fun, festive color!
Kate V says
CAN ME – I love a white christmas, but this year our small tree is chocolate & green !!!
