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 have been working with purple and white this year. Not traditional but fun just the same.

    This paint would be really handy. We just made our to do list for the spring and painting our three-season porch is on top of the list!

    We’re moving into our first house in the next 6 weeks and painting is the first thing we plan to do, this would be such a help cut the ever-growing expense of buying a house (I’m sure yall know the feeling…)

    As for holiday colors, I’m a typical Red and Green kind of girl, however, I like changing up the green for a lighter lime green for more of a pop and to be a little more contemporary.

    My husband and I just moved into our first house and are anxiously waiting to redo the whole house! Problem is we can’t decide which room to start with! This would be a great help to jumpstart the new year!! :)

    As for Christmas colors… I love to do white, pearl, silver with a pop of one color. It changes every year. This year it was forest green.

    Happy Holidays to you all!!

    I am a big fan of the traditional red and green Christmas decorations. I have lots of green decor in my house already, so it’s easy to just add a few punches of red with pillows and decorations, and the house is holiday-ready!

    I’m really loving white and green this year. But more of a pear green, not the traditional foresty green. I’m planning on visiting Target and some of the other stores the day after Christmas so I can snag up some of those decorations on clearance!

    Going with the traditional red and green. Pine and holly boughs are free and easy to make into center pieces, door hangers, and all sorts of trimming!

    Typically I prefer very traditional Christmas colors (dark red, dark green, and gold). This year I instead am totally into the fun, whimsical Christmas decorations. Lots of cartoony snowmen and santas plus bright red, green, and white.
