***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
This week’s freebie’s gonna be a colorful one. 3,700 colors to be exact, because it comes from the fine people at Behr paint. And we’ll have not one, not two, but three winners who will each get a free gallon of Behr paint along with a complimentary Behr paint fan deck. How’s that for kick starting a few of your spring makeover projects?
We all know that the hardest part of transforming a room with paint is painstakingly picking the perfect color. But Behr has gone and made it easier thanks to their new Paint Your Place tool. This free, online resource lets you virtually paint your very own rooms with a few clicks of the mouse (it’s a great way to waste an entire afternoon). For instance, we uploaded a picture of our third bedroom to see if a bright color might work when it eventually (key word) becomes a nursery (in a looong time, no baby rumors please). What do you think of Thermal Spring? Sherry thinks it makes the small room look like a little jewel box.
We were really impressed by how the program smoothly integrated the existing shadows and sun spots in the photo that we uploaded, giving the room a pretty realistic look (all without having to pick up a paint brush). Plus, with the color selector tool it was really easy to adjust the color, no matter if we decided it needed to be lighter, darker or even more green.
So if you wanna win one of these free gallons of paint, just leave a comment on this post with the words “BEHR WITH ME” by Wednesday, April 1st at 8pm EST. While you’re at it, we’d love to know if there’s a room in your home that you’ve been planning to repaint (and what color you might be considering). This contest is open to residents of the US and Canada and as usual only one entry per e-mail address is permitted. Good luck…

“BEHR WITH ME” is exactly what i will be saying to my fiance when he finds out that i’m painting ONCE AGAIN!
hooray for giveaways!
Sunny says
BEHR WITH ME! Um, what room are we *not* planning on painting?! We moved into new construction, and all the walls are the same beige color… in flat, showing every little scuff mark. I can’t wait to get home and play with some pictures to help pick out our new wall colors. First is going to be our master bedroom, with every other room except the living room to follow. I don’t think I want to start with the vaulted ceiling room… I need to ease into this process. :) Thanks for the chance to win!
Liz N says
BEHR WITH ME as I drool over this giveaway. We are currently renting a house where every wall is painted Chocolate Brown… I can’t wait to lighten the place up! YAY! – liz
Jenny R says
BEHR WITH ME!! I’ve been planning to paint our bedroom light blue. I think it’ll go great with all of our white furniture and our dark blue duvet cover!
Eryn says
Behr with me. I want to paint all of them! Our house looks like a crayon box and I need some consistency!

BEHR WITH ME
Claudia says
Behr with me while I tell you that I LOVE the color scheme at the Petersik Residence. I have been wanting to paint the dining/living rm areas and your home is a great inspiration…I especially love the color in your kitchen.
Sammy Jenkins says
BEHR WITH ME
We moved this year, and the baby has taken affront to the living room wall paper (rightly so) and has removed a large portion of it (if only she could work a scraper) — so I’ll be painting that rooms soon (by soon, I mean two months from now)!

BEHR WITH ME.
Just came across your blog and love it. I am a former interior designer who is now in Nursing School, so I am always looking for fun ways to procrastinate and design blogs are the best!
Courtney says
“BEHR WITH ME” every room in our house except 3 needs to be painted. considering its 1800 sq ft, that is a lot of painting!
Ilana Schwartzbach says
Behr with me! I want to paint the kitchen but the color choice is still one to be pondered.
Denise M. says
BEHR WITH ME !
I have so so many rooms to paint. I just painted two this weekend, the dining room a mid-tone blue and the sunroom a greyish navy color.
I have YET to do the guest bedroom in red. Specifically, we’re doing “velvety merlot” (a behr color!)
But I have yet to do my office. If I win, this is what I would paint! (Although I’m still not sure on the color, so that paint chip deck sure would come in handy as well).

Ellen says
BEHR WITH ME!
We are expecting our first baby and plan on converting our extra “half bedroom” (now filled with misc storage) into a nursery. Since we’re in a small NYC apt, we’re looking for something bright and sunny to perk the room up. Would love some Behr paint to get started!
jamie says
“BEHR WITH ME” My bathroom is waiting for a new coat of paint. Not sure what color yet. :)
erica says
Behr with me, I need to paint my bedroom before the sponge painting I did 10 years ago drives me batty!
Carrie M. says
BEHR WITH ME! I want to paint our upstairs spare room either a light green or airy blue…can’t decide! A paint fan deck would definitely help.
P.S. I think Thermal Spring looks adorable in your someday-nursery. :)
Brandi H. says
BEHR WITH ME! Actually I would probably be boring and get white. I recently had wood floors installed and all of my trim needs painted, in addition to a new coat on the staircase, which is also…. yep – white. Thanks.
Alison says
BEHR with Me!! I would love to paint the bathrooms of our new house this fall!
Alysia says
Behr with me! I would use Cup of Cocoa (or a few degrees lighter) for our stairwell. It is a job that has been on our list since we moved in. Cup of Cocoa is in our living room and it is gorgeous.
Virginia says
Behr with me as I try to decide what color to paint our second bedroom! We’ve been leaning towards a sunny yellow because I love the cheerfulness it brings to a room.
Jennifer says
Behr With Me :)
My husband and I just signed the lease on a new apartment that we absolutely love–but the first thing we want to do is tone down the banana-yellow walls in the living room, hallway and dining room. We love how bright and fun the color is, but we want to take it down a few notches to more of a lemony color.
Noreen says
BEHR WITH ME as I paint every room in our new house. Next up: the master bedroom. We’re loving the color “Sparrow” by Behr. A gorgeous gray to go with the crisp white linens we just put on our wedding registry!
Fran says
BEHR WITH ME. Moved in my new house a year ago and haven’t picked up a brush to the interior yet, so I’m planning on changing all the colors this spring!
TD says
BEHR WITH ME!
I have been wanting to paint our bedroom this summer but haven’t decided on a color. Maybe I will use Behr’s web resources to figure out which color will give me sweet dreams.
Heather says
BEHR WITH ME! We are going to be painting the last room in our house soon…a nursery!!!
Jessica says
Behr with me! We’re moving into a townhouse in May and I can’t wait to paint the living and dining rooms. I have a cranberry red couch, so I am going to love playing around on the Paint Your Place tool to find the perfect color to match my crazy couch! Thanks for the opportunity.
Kim says
Behr with me! We actually had to repaint every single room in our house last year. The previous owner’s colors were hideous. We still have to repaint the mud/laundry room and the kitchen though and those are both on my project list for spring. Still trying to decide on colors so this prize would be awesome!
Jenn says
Behr with me!! How funny, that’s exactly what my hubby says everytime I bring up the idea of painting our bonus room a “new” shade of beige.
Kelli says
BEHR WITH ME, as I have to paint every SINGLE room in the new house we’re building. I would absolutely LOVE this!
Heidi says
BEHR with me. I can’t wait to paint my boys bedrooms. They are both in big boy beds now!!
Leigh says
Behr with me. Behr is the only paint we use. We have several colors in our house – Behr breaker, sterling, pina colada, and I forget the other names. They are fabulous though! Pina colada is such a cheerful color – which helps considering it is in the guest room / office where I spend all my time studying!
Andrea says
Behr with me!!! I would love to win some free paint, as I have a kitchen, bedroom and 2 bathrooms (which are all a FLAT beige–including the trim) to paint in my home! I am soooo ready to get started!!! :)
Jenny says
Behr with me, as I paint every wall in our house!
Susan says
BEHR WITH ME! I’ve just bought an old house in less-than-sparking condition, and paint is one of the first things on my list. I’ve always wanted a dark, dramatic dining room, so I’m thinking about navy or burgundy…
Meghan says
beat-beat-bababa-beat… beat-beat-baba-beet… BEHR WITH ME! I’ve been mulling over paint ideas for our unborn child’s nursery as well- when the time comes I’m hoping we can hold out for the ultimate surprise- so I’ve been thinking about orange as a nursery color. I know it sounds a bit bold, but I think it could be really cool if we pick juuuust the right shade- so this tool will be extra handy!
Dianne says
BEHR WITH ME as I paint my basement floor/walls. We live in a 1918 Farmhouse and the basement is a bit dingy. Painting the concrete floor and walls will make going down there much more pleasant.
courtneyg says
BEHR with me – I’m currently in the process of repainting my living room & dining room – and have big plans for the sunporch & master bedroom!
Anne says
BEHR WITH ME
We are painting our whole house this summer & this would really help. Plus, I LOVE the online tool.

BEHR WITH ME. Our third bedroom needs a fresh coat of paint to take it from drab to fab.

Behr with me. I want to re-paint the hallway and stairway in our house.
Amy S. says
BEHR WITH ME! I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel and this would be oh so helpful!!!
Lisa says
BEHR WITH ME as I repaint my entire house. I just finished repainting the kitchen, butlers pantry but still have to paint the adjacent bathroom. Next on the agenda — all my bedrooms minus the master. We’re going to play switch-a-roonie and each room is going to be repurpose. My two boys will be sharing the biggest room, the smallest will become my office and the medium will be the guest room — EACH room needing a new paint color!
Gillian says
Behr with me please. My husband and I are looking into buying our first home come june so we will have lots of painting to do. Behr is our favorite brand :)

BEHR WITH ME!!!!
Shauna says
BEHR WITH ME–What timing! We are just starting to talk about painting the nursery for our little girl that’s due in August. I’m looking for a silvery gray purple that doesn’t scream PURPLE!
Jill says
Behr with me!
We are in the process of redoing 5 rooms in our house (before our twins arrive in June). We used Behr paint for the four that are done (or almost done). However, we cannot seem to decide on a color for the updated bathroom. One can would do the trick!
