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’m liking pastels this Christmas. I’m not normally a pastel kind of girl, but light blues, light pinks and light greens (and yellow!) done up in a wreath or table setting is making me happy this year.

    We’ve been all about the gold in our apartment this Christmas. Gold ornaments and beads on tree, gold accents around the living and dining rooms. We usually stick with the traditional red and green, but I guess we were feeling a bit more “luxe” this year. Or perhaps I’m just sending my husband a not-so-subtle message to buy me gold jewelry for Christmas.

    I can’t seem to get enough of red with a lighter sort of lime green this year. Lots of polka dots and striped ornaments, ribbons, etc. Sorta a Dr. Seuss feel to the house this year.

    I am in a red, green, turquoise and orange mood this year! I bought a bunch of ornaments at Target and made a wreath out of the colors. It’s so festive but so unconventional! Love it!

    I am really getting into silver and red this Christmas. I am pretty traditional when it comes to this stuff.

    I just bought a house in November and have been painting up a storm! I live in Buffalo where the snow is often and we most assuredly will have a white Christmas.

    I also love blue and silver but you can decorate with those colors all winter long!

    After moving in to our new house we didn’t have the energy to revamp the Christmas decor so we pulled out the tree and ornaments which have not been put out in 4 years and went with it. Blues and lime green have our tree decked out for this season and we’ll see what next year brings!

    Each room in our house has a different holiday color scheme. Our living room is red & gold, our dining room is red & silver, and every other room in the house has a touch of the outside with fresh holly leaves & berries and white candles to set the mood! I LOVE decorating my 1950’s house for the holidays!

    I’m digging all metallics and love how they can open up a room with little to no light. And they usually match any already established color scheme, which is awesome when you’re on a budget!
