***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 husband as we start to gear up and paint our entire house. We recently built a new house and every single wall is currently painters white. I am going crazy and need some color soon!

BEHR WITH ME
We’re going to painting the nursery in the next couple weeks, so this would come at the PERFECT time! I’m obsessed with those paint fans too :) I have a huge collection of paint samples that I use for everything.
carrie says
BEHR WITH ME
Oooh a paint deck! I’ve always wanted one of my own.
I am going to be painting our bonus room, it’ll probably take about 3-4 gallons. My favorite color right now is Celtic Gray 490E-3
Samantha says
BEHR WITH ME!
erin says
BEHR WITH ME, we would like to paint our living room some sort of rusty-orange color. Or our guest room might get painted a pretty aqua. Or maybe we should get a color consult from you…
Mimi R says
Behr with me, but we can’t “behr” with our white living/ room dining room’s bare white walls anymore! We’ve been playing with paint chips for a year, but a gallon of paint would kick us into gear.
Anthony says
‘Behr with me’ as we repaint our house for the 3rd time. It seems as we renovate one room, we want to change things in all the other ‘finished’ rooms. We are thinking ‘sandstone cove’ was the perfect color to brighten up our living and dining rooms (which are currently a tan that looks great during the day, but at night, begins to turn a little too ‘olive’ for my liking! Great giveaway!
Becky says
BEHR WITH ME! We are painting four bedrooms! I could really use this!
Meg says
Behr with me as I go through my 5th sample paint can for the laundry/mud room. I think I need to check out that program! We are removing the old floors and putting new ones in but the paint is the one thing I can’t decide on.
Kayduh says
Behr with me!
Ashley says
BEHR WITH ME … how about “bear with the previous homeowners terrible taste in paint?” We just bought a new house and every single room will be repainted. I’m super excited about the fan deck!
Mary says
BEHR WITH ME!!! We just finished painting our living room/dining room, and I have to say that it was inspired by the colors you guys use in your house! Next stop is the kitchen, so I hope I win!

BEHR WITH ME! I just finished painting every room in the apartment except the bathroom, my sanctuary for that long bath. Would be great to stop saying “its almost all done, except this one room”
Kelly says
BEHR WITH ME… I will be painting a nursery. My sister and brother in law are pregnant for the FIRST time. And I’m going to be an aunt for the very first time!!! So of course the baby has to have a nursery at fun aunt Kelly’s house!!! I’m not sure if I will need pink or blue or green or yellow.
christina says

Annie says
BEHR WITH ME. I’ve been jonesing to repaint our dining room (although this will be the 3rd time in the 10 years we’ve lived here). I’ve worked out a design plan, now I’ve just got to get the hubs on board.

BEHR WITH ME! I want to repaint my master bedroom Indulgent Mocha. I just love Behr paint!
Sheree says
BEHR WITH ME. I want to redo out guest room. It is that awful builders white color right now (as is most of our house). I want to either paint it a pretty taupe color or a blue color. Either one will work with the colors from the new bedspread and pillows I have for the room.
Rachel says
BEHR WITH ME!

Melissa says
BEHR WITH ME…..I need to repaint most of the rooms in my home and I love the color selection of Behr paints!
P.S. Love the future nursery color!
Lisa says
BEHR WITH ME! Our window frames all need a touch-up (with boring white), and maybe we’ll tackle the small 2nd bedroom/office… currently baby blue, which I don’t mind, but could use a refresher coat. And then there are those stubborn picture-hanger holes in the living room and master BR from the previous owners, which need to be spackled/patched and painted over…

BEHR WITH ME…as my boyfriend and I will live without paint for (at least) a year! We’re moving into a new townhome and with the “necessary upgrades,” paint wasn’t a factor in our budget. Please help us splash some color into our lives! :-)
Melissa says
“BEHR WITH ME”
Our whole house is being painted this summer. We moved in last Sept and have been living with the old owners colors (too much blue for me) so i’m ready for a change in every room.
Tam says

Nikki's Nacs says
BEHR WITH ME With free paint would consider painting our rental living room.
Sara says
Behr with me!!! I’m actually painting our kitchen- cabinets, walls, the whole shebang- right now (I’m covered with paint this very minute), and the living room and guest bedroom are on deck. We inherited lots of wallpaper with our cute little house and it’s all got to go. . .
Kristen Wax says
BEHR WITH ME! I need to repaint the hallway.. seeing as how SOMEONE in the house accidently made a dent in the wall with some plywood. Woops!
Katie says
BEHR WITH ME! We just bought a house and pretty much all of our rooms need to be painted – the great room is next up!! We are going to paint it a nice silvery gray with a hint of blue. And the fireplace needs painting too!
Katy says
BEHR WITH ME!!
We’ve been in our house for over four years now and have only painted three rooms. I think next on my list is the guest bedroom. Goodbye builder beige! I think it’s going to be a color similar to the color in your guest bedroom. It just needs to be warmed up a little.
Jessi says
Behr with me – please :)
Our 2 story entry way needs some tender loving paint! It still has the white builder primer that it was blessed with when we purchased it almost two years ago but once the sun gets a bouncin’ around in that space, it is a dilated eye’s worst nightmare.
joy says
Behr with me! We have painted only 2 rooms in our home and would love to paint our little half bath. I thought the color “Water Flow” would be appropriate. :)
Emilee says
BEHR WITH ME! I want to paint my bedroom a silvery-blue color. Oooh, so relaxing.
Alicia says
Behr with me!!! I’d love to paint my master bedroom a nice blue-grey colour. OR my office/craft room a nice grey-y purple colour.
Claire says
Behr with me!
I recently posted about Paint Your Place on my blog! I have definitely used this tool before — mostly for my husband’s sake – he has trouble visualizing a color on the walls, and this tool really helps him see it (and helps me convince him that we need to repaint!)
Jess says
BEHR WITH ME! OMG!! Could your timing be any more perfect?!! I am negotiating with my DH over a paint color for my kitchen right now! We are trying to sell our home, also. AWESOME!! Thanks!
Anthony says
“BEHR WITH ME” as I paint my master bedroom. Undecided on a color, but is needing to be done.
Thanks!!!
Shannon says
BEHR WITH ME! I’ve got a blah beige boring bathroom that is begging for some pretty pretty paint. I love alliteration too :)
Jamie M. says
BEHR WITH ME! I would love to paint every room in my house but I really need to paint the toy room for the kids.
Sherene says
BEHR WITH ME! My great room and hall are screaming for a color other than taupe. I’m thinking mousey brown.
