Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: (Anything But) A White Christmas

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.

Glidden Snowy House

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.

Glidden Display

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.

Glidden Back Of Swatch

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!

    This year we went with a traditional red and green decor theme with hints of silver and gold! I stole (okay, borrowed) the idea from a pottery barn catalog and we love it!

    We just moved into a little old house and we dont have very many decorations or ornaments so I am using most of my Moms old ones. I do love to decorate in red and silver or green and silver. All her decor that matched those colors, I confiscated.

    I’m into silver – silver bells, silver glitter, silver-snow-inspired ribbon – paired with kraft paper (for wrapping) – and something like Glidden’s Fresh Grape Juice…my main inspiration was this 4″ mesh ribbon that stretches and bunches and ties up beautifully!

    so…CAN me!

    This year, I was lucky to get my boyfriend to decorate at all! He hates it! But, Ive been excited about color, and lots of it. Multicolored lights. Different colored candles around. Our tree topper is even a red bird, not the tradition star or angel ^_^

    Color didn’t really matter to us so much this year as did switching to all LED lights. We have white lights outside, colored lights in the house… and they’ve taken some getting used to, especially the white ones, because they don’t have that soft yellow glow.

    Thanks Youngsters!

    We don’t have a holiday color scheme. Most of our Christmas decorations were gifts, so there’s no pattern. Fortunately, there’s plenty of red and green to go around, and white lights on all the trees make everything look festive. Besides, with the 2-yr-old “undecorating” the tree every 5 minutes, and the the cat’s weird attachment to Mary in the kids’ nativity scene, our decorations are always on the move!

    When I was little, our neighbor would string blue & green lights outside for Christmas–a unique Christmas color combination I rarely see. Blues and greens are my favorite colors today and my favorite combination-in all seasons, including the holidays.

    Cheers!

    This season, we are all about aqua, silver and pink! I made an amazing tree skirt which was the start of our crazy color selection! It was made with fuzzy aqua material, silver and pink trim and vintage handmade snowflakes (crocheted by my late great-aunt so hopefully it will become an heirloom) with pink rhinestones accenting each flake!

    I love all the colors in the ornaments on our tree and holiday decorations. They were mostly made or bought when we were children and carry a lot of memories with them.

    However, this year I chose to go with metallic gold, greenery, and clear glass for the entrance to our home.
