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!

    I didn’t decorate my house at all this year (well, a traditional wreath with berries and a red bow on the door), but if you read Mrs. Limestone’s blog, her red carnations + silver accents for her party were beautiful to me and have given me ideas for next year.

    I am loving the silvers paired with royal blue this year. Though your almost-edible tree has got citrus fruits dancing in my head.

    Thanks for the giveaways. Happy Christmas!!

    Can me! Tropical Coral has been my color this December. I picked up a tester bottle and used it to paint several Christmas presents. The inspiration room inspired me to use Tropical Surf and Totally Teal as accent colors. The three together are definitely my holiday color scheme this year and am considering painting my guest room this way.

    I am loving red + white with a touch of chartreuse throw in here and there. But beyond colors I am loving patterns this year! Everything in either polka dots or stripes, It really takes the traditional color combo to a whole new level. :)

    I’m a Glidden convert since reading your blog! Water Chestnut is my new kitchen color.

    As for Christmas, I’ve been all about traditional red and green this year and seem to have a lot of gold accents as well, which is weird because any other time of year I’m not that into yellow gold.
