***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…

Michele says
BEHR WITH ME! My dining room still needs color. Right now it is just tinted primer as I decide which way to go with my orange silk curtains, dark room, 11 foot ceilings, and original faux graining from the 1850s.
Jennalou says
Behr with me! Ok here’s a good one…. I really need to paint our main floor bath. While my mother in law was living (temporarily) in our guest room she decided to decorate and paint. Well she painted apporx. 45% of the bathroom and never finished. She’s FINALLY moving out so soon we will get to redo her “fix up”. I could totally use a gallon or two!
Lauri says
BEHR WITH ME! I want to paint most of my rooms…no more “earthy” and dull for me. I want bright and modern!
Melissa says

BEHR WITH ME!
That Paint Your Place tool is awesome–we used it when trying to decide on a color for our laundry room (it was between Lauren’s Surprise and Swimming Pool–we went with Lauren’s Surprise and it’s awesome!)
If I won the free gallon we’d definitely use it to paint either the main bath (probably Pensive Sky–we just picked up Behr swatches at Home Depot yesterday!) or the office (soon to be baby room). :)

Kim says
BEHR WITH ME as I rant and rave that this giveaway couldn’t come at a more perfect time. The Hubby and I just collected about a hundred paint samples over the weekend to repaint our kitchen. I wish I would have known about Behr’s program before, it would have saved a lot of driving around. Oddly enough, we both have decided on Behr’s Mission Tile for the kicthen.
Karrie says
BEHR WITH ME! I am planning on painting our master bedroom a grey-green color and our hall bath a blue-grey color. I can’t wait to try the Paint your place tool to make sure these are the colors I want. Thanks!

BEHR WITH ME! We’re about midway through painting our ENTIRE HOUSE. Coincidentally, we’ve been using Behr paint! It was meant to be!! :) (pick me, oh random number generator, pick me!) ;)
Emily says
BEHR WITH ME! This color picker would have been a huge help when deciding on the color for my laundry room. I used a light yellow and it hurts my eyes. I am ready to repaint over my yellow mistake.
Elizabeth says
BEHR WITH ME!
We are going to repaint our hall/guest bathroom this weekend, so this giveaway would be perfect! We are planning on a milk chocolate brown (not too dark) that matches an accent color in our shower curtain. The curtain is ivory with choco brown toile and robin’s egg blue little birds outlined (from Target).
Brooke says
“BEHR WITH ME”
We just bought a new house, and hate the previous owners’ paint choices. SO where to begin is the question! However, the wallpaper is so much worse, we’ll most likely start in the bathrooms!
Sara says
BEHR WITH ME. Master Bathroom-gray.
Kelleigh says
BEHR with me! I’ve been thinking about painting our family room apple green. Scary. Exciting. All that.
deborah says
Behr with me, I’m almost done painting this house after 6 years! Only the master bath, laundry closet, stairwell and mud room left…
Vanessa L. says
BEHR WITH ME! We just moved into a new home, so painting is our ‘favorite’ pastime these days. Kitchen, master bedroom, and living room still need to be done, so free paint would be wonderful!
Whitney says
BEHR WITH ME! I am dying to paint our guestroom a soft blue to match my new blue desk I just bought!
Holly says
**BEHR WITH ME** I just re-painted one of my spare bedrooms last week that I’m converting to an office/guest room and I would LOVE to re-paint my bedroom… which has already been painted 2 times since moving in two years ago. Yes, I am VERY VERY VERY indecisive and I wish I would’ve known about this online tool before now, I can definitely put this baby to work :-) Keeping my fingers crossed!
Krystie says
BEHR WITH ME! This is perfect timing since I have been obsessing about painting our entryway a light tan… no official color name picked out yet.
Ms. Molly says
Behr with me, the next room on my radar is our office. I’m thinking yellow…
Laura K says
BEHR with me. We’ve got more rooms to paint than I care to count. ;)
Katie says
BEHR WITH ME!! What a great new tool this is! We’ve been thinking about dryingwalling our currently paneled basement and a fresh coat of paint will be at the top of the to do list. I’m leaning toward a nice neutral tan/beige (it will be in the basement after all), but my husband wants a dark green, in keeping with the pub idea that he’s going for down there. This Paint Your Place tool may be the way for us to made a decision without spending on trial pints of paint.
Karen says
BEHR WITH ME — since $ is tight we’re looking to “change” the bathroom with paint

BEHR WITH ME!
I am dying to paint the living dining area of my condo…and I want it to be light and airy with a hint of sand
Maureen says
Behr with Me! I have a room that has remained builder WHITE for 10 years because the ceilings are 24 ft. high and I can’t settle on a color or what to do with those windows that are way up high…ugh!
Ryan says
BEHR WITH ME! Amen to that! I’m in the process of repainting our ENTIRE house. I think the kitchen is next on the agenda. I’m thinking Chocolate Brown Cabinets and Beige walls. Who knows? Free paint would make the process so much better!
Stephanie says
BEHR WITH ME.
I recently moved into a new condo, painted all in builder’s flat tan. First paint job will probably be the master bedroom. I’m thinking a soft grayish purple, like Pearl Violet. Or maybe the second bathroom, in Cool Jazz.
Summer Smith says
Behr with me… I actually want to win it so I can give it to my brother who just moved into his very FIRST place!

BEHR WITH ME on my typing skills here as I juggle my third (3month old) child in one hand. She is in desperate need of a new shade of lavender in her room! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!! You owe me! I sat on my computer for hours and hours and hours after I discovered your blog!!

Danielle says
BEHR WITH ME!
I always use and love Behr paint. We just moved and the previous owners painted the living room BRIGHT red. All I can think about is tomato soup when I am in there. Would love to paint this room something light.
Alicia says
Behr with me honey, I’m painting again!!!
Whitney says
Behr with me!
I love that color! I might have to use that somewhere :)
