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 is all about turquiose because that’s the color my soon to be 9 year old what’s her room painted! I’m also loving the new colored lights on my tree.

    The colors I’ve used this season are red, silver and white. I put a single red rose is multiple bud vases surrounded by white candles in different crystal candle holders for my dinner last Saturday. It looked beautiful. Wish I have a picture of it for you. Used red plate charges and white plates. (It was my son’s birthday dinner.)

    I tend to use gold and white for my Christmas decorations, with little red accents scattered in. love the snow picture you posted – I used to live in the DC area and know how unlikely that White Christmas is. Even more rare now that I’m in Birmingham, AL!

    After Christmas I am redecorating my 15 year old daughter’s bedroom. She wants a black and white, European/Contemporary theme with mostly airy white walls with a charcoal gray accent wall…. can’t wait to start that project!!!

    I am normally all about red, white, and green at Christmas – but last year my mom gave me an adorable blanket that’s baby blue with a picture of a cartoon polar bear with matching pillows. So I had to incorporate a light blue this year raining on my “traditional colors only” parade. But I found some great striped wrapping paper at Target with all 4 colors and used it as my table runner in my living and dining rooms. It really worked out nicely.

    And I will admit, your lemon&orange christmas decor got me thinking it may be time to add some color next year…

    CAN ME, please! Our Christmas is filled with traditional red, silver, and some lime green this year. My new favorite thing (new this year) is my daughter’s Christmas tree. It’s pink! It’s decorated with silver, dark pink, and lime green ornaments along with some shimmery snowflakes and a lime green bead garland!

    The traditional red, paired with gold, and maybe a little green (my usual house accent colors are red and green, so when Christmas rolls around everything really ties in nicely!).

    Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love to decorate with lots of white lights; red, gold and green ornaments; and all the beautiful colors from my nutcracker collection.
