***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
This week’s giveaway sponsor practically needs no introduction. It’s Valspar Paint (which Meredith successfully figured out last week from our anagram clue). They’re giving away FIVE gallons of their high quality, Ultra Premium interior paint (one each to FIVE of our lucky readers). So we foresee a handful of paint projects in some of your futures… and hopefully some before & after pictures as well.
But Valspar isn’t just offering up paint this week, they’ve also created a great online resource for couples faced with the challenge of combining their styles. The “Love, Our Style” site includes some painting tips via a Painting 101 section, a photo contest where you can win a paint makeover, and – our favorite part – a quiz to help figure out how to merge your aesthetic with your partner’s.
And although Sherry and I feel like we’ve figured out our combined style pretty well, we jumped at the chance to see how we fared with the quiz. After 10 simple (and sometimes thought-provoking) multiple choice questions, the quiz revealed that our style is “Relaxed” which came with this description: “You’re in perfect harmony when it comes to your eye for the simple yet functional. When it comes to your home decor, eco-conscious style- like natural textures, tones and sustainable furnishings- can play a big part. Take your love of the outdoors and find inspiration in nature, with warm neutrals.” Pretty dead on, eh? Not to mention that the paint colors they suggested are pretty much right up our alley too.
So here’s the scoop on how you can score some free Valspar paint this week:
- PRIZE: One gallon of Valspar Ultra Premium interior paint in the color/finish of your choice
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “COLOR ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Head over to take the “Love, Our Style” quiz and share your results (and how accurate you think it is)
- CONTEST CLOSES: Wednesday, September 16th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Five
- PRIZE SHIPS: United States only
- THE USUAL: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

HUH?! Completely IN-accurate for us!
Relaxed Country – Style match! You both seek a comforting environment. Though one of you may be more into sustainable furnishings and the other likes nostalgic pieces, you can still make those work well together in your home. You also both like neutrals and earthy colors, so don’t be afraid to bring in that country flair with something more bold like Dove White 7002-7, Green Garlands 5007-3C, Cincinnatian Hotel Hunter Blue 4003-7C, Milestone 6007-1B and Antique Coral 1007-2A

COLOR ME
Relaxed Modern
Your styles actually have a lot in common. With your relaxed style, you opt for simple and functional choices. Your partner also has a flair for simplicity, but likes to accent it with something more bold. And remember, though one of you has a contemporary edge, you can still find looks that are eco-friendly.
This is pretty accurate, but I would say we are more traditional than modern. :)
Jennifer says
COLOR ME!
Relaxed Modern: Somewhat accurate — I think we like more of the traditional style, but I have been trying to add more “modern” touches to our home recently. I’ve been trying to find a “perfect” shade of grey for our master bedroom, so this is a great giveaway!
