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 I really like the old-school look of red and gold for Christmas, although I also really like the happy look of orange. I’m planning to do some old-fashioned decorating next year (because I didn’t get to it this year) with dried citrus fruit slices, and oranges studded with whole cloves. And, I always enjoy having a bowl of satsuma mandarin oranges around at Christmas time to make things feel festive.

    CAN ME! I love wintery colors for Christmas too–like pale ice blue, silver, and white. I also like to have natural greenery in the house to warm it up and bring the outside in (as they say).

    CAN ME…I feel like such a bad parent. We have no trees/lights/decorations up at my house nor my mother’s (where my daughter spends the night temporarily). I just bought a white Christmas tree last year and blue ornaments. I probably follow the same set up like last year. We have this huge pine tree (I think, or Christmas like rather) that we share with our neighbors. I can’t wait to decorate it next year when we are a bit (or lot) more settled in our new home. I am thinking classic white for the huge tree, nothing too busy or gaudy.

    I change up my color scheme each year. This year I decided to keep it simple and not buy new decorations so I’m reusing what I have already. I’m using lime greens, reds, gold and silver. Feeling a little traditional this year, I guess!

    While I have a general Mish/mash of ornaments on my tree…no two are alike, I try to stay away from gold, and opt instead towards silver. Then, to match the rest of my house, I have begun to lean towards a dark red (the color of my couch). I love unconventional colors for christmas, but I have so many unique and sentimental ornaments, that I couldn’t imagine putting them all on the tree. Maybe next year I should get 2 trees.
