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.

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.

    “CAN ME”

    This year I am loving brown, teal, purple and peacock blue. We bought a pre-decorated tree in this color scheme with peacock feathers as the fabulous topper at a charity auction last year and we’re enjoying it again this year.

    This year our tree is done in gold, copper, and chocolate. I think next year I’ll add some cream in with those. it’s just so warm and rich!

    Usually I am all about the red and green, but the past couple years I think adding in gold and silver is fantastic because then it still makes the scene through new years!

    We’re hoping to move in the next month so we didn’t decorate much this year but the colors we do have up are all over the place! Only white lights though… I guess that’s our theme…

    Christmas this year is about color for us. However, we are still stuck on white. New white floor tile in bath and powder room, new white trim, new white toilets in both, etc.

    I’ve done pinks, whites & burgundy for so long. Now I’m loving the teals, aquas, and lime shades. Thanks for offering a great giveaway.

    Wishes for a Very Merry Christmas…Tracy :)

    Can Me! Our tree is definitely a hodge podge of ornaments that we have been given throughout the years, but for the overall colors, I guess this year we did quite a bit of silver and red!

    I love red any time of year, but I really like the red and lime green combo. I’m also jealous of your citrus tree because I LOVE those hues for the holidays too.
