Fab Freebie: Behr With Me

***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! We are currently going through several gallons of Behr right now in our new (old) house. We wanted some color and we don’t have enough money to completely redo the 60’s style kitchen and wood paneling so we freshened up the space with ‘Asparagus’ in the living room, ‘Stable Hay’ in the hall and the lower half of the kitchen, and ‘Sahara Shade’ for the top half of the kitchen. We initially tried ‘Apple Crisp,’ for the top half of the kitchen, but after first trying it in the powder room, we decided that it was simply too intense of an orange for us. So anyone need a mostly full gallon of flat enamel ‘Apple Crisp’?

    “BEHR WITH ME!” We are in the planning phases of opening up a closet we have between our garage and kitchen. The hope is to remove the door and part of the wall to transform it into a small mudroom with a bench. We will need to paint the walls and the bench. A gallon of paint would come in handy and we’d love to share our after pics with you!
