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

| By John Petersik | December 21, 2009 | 1,449 Comments

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 like a variety of colors! i usually prefer gold over silver, seems warmer, but have dusky purples, greens, reds and golds to fushcia and aqua ornaments on my tree. i have noticed that i have an inordinant number of purple ornaments, but it doesn’t stand out on the tree weirdly. i think it all works! my fav. decoration is the green garland with white lights twisted around the banister. i have ALWAYS wanted that, now that we have a staircase, though not very fancy,(no spindles or anything, i love decorating it every year.

    Definitely the Christmas red. It can be matched with silver, gold, green, or white, but without the red, it just does not feel like the holiday season has started.

    I am all about the canbin-in-the-mountian-christmas. I would love to have everything “hand made” and rustic. Sadly this is in start start contrast to my clean lines and clutter free decorating. But I can’t think of christmas decor unless it looks like it could fit in at a hunting lodge.
