***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!…. I JUST test painted my bathroom this past weekend with some paint and was going back to buy the whole gallon! This would be perf. I picked out a very deep dark charcoal/navy blue/gray color I spotted in a mag. Now if only you were giving away crisp white towels or sophisticated scones next week… eh??
Laura says

Mary says
BEHR WITH ME. Great giveaway! I have a whole house to paint!

Bailey Baker says
BEHR with ME!!! – I would love my dining room done!!

Jessica says
BEHR WITH ME!
I’m pregnant with my 2nd child and am wanting to paint (well, have husband paint ;)) the office, which is right now grey…something a little more fun to transform it into the nursery – I’m thinking a light celery green that will work for boy or girl…we also still have to re-paint our 2 year old daughter’s neutral walls to make it something more fun for her “big girl bedroom”. Free paint would be a HUGE help – maybe my husband would actually get started on the rooms then ;) thanks! love Thermal Spring – looks a little like our kitchen color (Behr’s Jamaica Bay).
Peggy says
Behr with Me!
I’ve been wanting to paint my master bedroom for the longest time (the last 6 years) but have not been able to commit to a colour. I’m thinking of a dark taupe colour. Something that makes the room warm and cozy, but neutral.
Paige says
BEHR WITH ME!
I am moving into a new house this month — and it’s the first time I’ve had walls I’ve been allowed to paint, so the prospect is beyond exciting!!
I’ll be painting an office (that I’m sure I’ll be using everyday since I am starting Graduate school soon) so I want something that will make me cheerful and actually want to sit at my desk and work. Maybe like Purple Surf from Behr. So lovely.
Betsy M says
BEHR WITH ME!
We are remodeling the house and almost every room will need to be painted next month. I was just coming here for some “color inspiration”. Love your site!!
Virginia says
BEHR WITH ME!
I will be painting our kitchen this summer – currently hooker fingernail polish red courtesy of the former owners. I am looking forward to painting it a nice soothing blue.
Katie says
“BEHR WITH ME”
Any free paint would be great!! My husband and I bought our first home, a small salt box post and beam last July and have been working hard inside and out to turn the previous owners decorating techniques into our own. There have been many painstaking hours of wallpaper scraping, scrubbing, painting, landscaping, etc. This spring we are tackling the drainage around the house. But I have one more room that desperately needs to be painted, the entry way – I just need to psych myself up for more wallpaper removal. So, long story short free paint is always welcomed!!
shannon says
Behr with me as I consider all of my color options for our (future) nursery. No baby rumors please:) This room will be a guest room until it is necessary to make it a baby room. Thinking a light aloe-ish green, maybe??
Katie Hawkins-Gaar says
BEHR WITH ME. Our kitchen needs a definite makeover. Not sure what color.
Lisa says
“BEHR WITH ME”
Our very dark & dated brick rancher needs some new life. Soft, soothing paint colors would be a great start to a fresh outlook for our home.
Jennifer H. says
Behr with me — my husband’s a photographer and we recently converted our long hallways into gallery space for his black and white landscapes. The photos look fabulous — but they need freshly painted walls to really make them stand out.
Janna says
BEHR WITH ME. I’ve spent 3 months trying to determine the perfect white for our second child’s bedroom (he’s due June 8th!)

BEHR WITH ME — yes, please!
Kim Brown says
BEHR WITH ME!!! What an awesome tool. I have been wanting to paint my craft, bedroom and my son’s bedroom lately. My craft room has been my biggest predicament. It is open to the kitchen and only has one standard window, in the farthest corner of the room. It really is a tough one. I will so be using this. Thanks for the info!!!!!!!!!!
Blayne says
Behr with me! I would like to paint the office or the guest room (the one that will *someday* be a nursery).
Jennifer says
Oh please BEHR WITH ME, Sherry and John! Our sad, sad, little basement so badly needs some TLC! It functions as our media room (and play room for the babes) and it is the only room in the house we haven’t painted since we moved in 3 years ago. I just can’t “behr” with the plain white walls and utter lack of COLOR! So, please…please…BEHR WITH ME! ;)

Karen says
BEHR WITH ME! But, I can’t get the site to work. :-( My computer doesn’t like the flash.
Leyla says
Behr with me! I love Behr paint and a fan deck would come in handy as we are looking to buy a new home in the coming months.
Jen says
BEHR WITH ME! Hmmmm…where to begin! Living room, parlor room, guest room????? Color????
katy b says
BEHR WITH ME.
Woo Hoo, I absolutely love paint! I’m in the middle of some painting projects right now. I still have several more rooms to paint, whew…it gets pretty tiring.
If I was to win, I would wan the paint for my kitchen or living room.
Can’t wait to hear who the winner is.
Shifra says
“Behr with me!” We’re closing on our first home tomorrow morning (fingers crossed!) so I’ll be needing lots of paint real soon! Can’t wait!!! (And by the way I LOVE that color blue that you had)
tammy says
BEHR WITH ME!! I always change my mind on colors and this will surely help!!

Faith says
Behr with me! I want to paint my laundry room lime green!
Teresa says
BEHR WITH ME!
I’d like to paint them all! It probably makes sense to start in the bathroom that was relieved of its crazy wallpaper last year and has been patiently waiting for a makeover. At the moment I like the color Rhino from the Behr site.
Thanks…
lauren says
Behr with me!!
My boyfriend and I are moving into our first house together – ee!! We are going to literally paint the entire house so that the former divorced bachelor’s yucky paint colors (depressing), are outta there and fresh, clean, beautiful paint is there instead. :)
Thanks for the opportunity to win. Love your blog!!
lindsay c. says
BEHR with me!
My scrapbooking room could use some color for inspiration!!
Allison says
Behr with me! We are buy our first house and could really use this! We wish you could come to Northern Virginia and help us out!
Amelia says
BEHR with me!
We’ve done a ton of painting downstairs, but our next project is in the soon-to be nursery! We should know in the next week or so what gender the baby is, and we’ll probably be going with some sort of soothing blue or green shade, depending on the gender. This giveaway would be a huge help!!
Leslie says
BEHR with me! I would love to paint over the dark paneling on one side of my bedroom wall! It is not a pleasant sight to wake up to in the morning!
Amy Frock says
Behr with me!!!!
My teenage daughter has been begging me to upgrade her room… she’s loving the lime green.
Jessica Lynn says
BEHR WITH ME PLEASE!?!!?! Came across your blog today and I am in LOVE! We are moving into our new home May 15th and the walls are all painted ONE color which is a beige with a pink undertone that makes all the walls show as a pale pink. The husband is not a fan. Thus, every wall needs to be painted! Dear Lord please help us!! Any hue will do except something pink!! :)
Pam Ricks says
My son and daughter-in-law are expecting their 3rd child but their first boy. Now we have to change a little girls room into a baby boy’s nursery. We are drooling over your ideas!

Behr with me (please)…
We are getting ready to be brave and paint some cabinetry in our house. We have these lovely (notsomuch!!) orangey wood cabinets that the orginal builder of our home put up himself. The quality of the wood is great. The color/tone of the wood…is pretty ghastly. We’re going to start w/ some bathroom cabinetry in the same color (orangey wood ;) ) and then once we perfect our technique, we’ll move onto the cabinets.
