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!

Color me!
Took the quiz and it said we are Modern – would definitely say that is accurate!
Erin says
COLOR ME! My computer wouldn’t open the quiz, booo!
Ashley M says
COLOR ME!
We are a RELAXED couple, just like you two!
I really want to paint one wall of my room to add some flair to the bare white walls!
Vanessa says
COLOR ME! I can’t get the quiz to load, but I am looking for a warm gray for my living room and Valspar’s Stony Path is beautiful :)
Jen Z. says
COLOR ME! We are relaxed too! We could use this for our laundry room project.
Allison says
COLOR ME!!!
Ours was “relaxed” — I think it’s perfect!
Erin says
Color Me… and our hideous yellow walls!!!
Jess E says
COLOR ME! Our 1912 house needs some updating!!
Jennifer says
COLOR ME…
Our quiz results showed Relaxed as well. I think it is correct for what I WISH my home was, but not what it currently is. As for my husband, if “Sports/Media House” was an option…I think that would be more fitting. :)

COLOR ME!
Barry says
COLOR ME! The quiz said we are MODERN. I know that I am more modern while she leans towards the more traditional decor. I think we’re in the process of learning how to compensate for both, but we in the middle of repainting nearly every room in the house! It would be great to win some high quality paint!

COLOR ME! I am getting ready to paint my living room and could totally use a gallon of paint. While my boyfriend and I are not cohabitating, our style is also Relaxed! And I completely agree with it.
Erica says
COLOR ME! the test said Relaxed Exotic. Not quite sure I fully agree. I guess it can’t be right all the time.
Allison says
COLOR ME!
Since I am a bachelorette homeowner, I just answered the same questions for both sides: and my style is Relaxed.
Lisa says
COLOR ME! Will have to get my hubby to take the quiz with me tonight.

Jamie S says
Color me please. Results said Relaxed Exotic, but since I was only guessing for my husband’s answers I may need to take it again with him. The relaxed part is right at least…
andrea says
Color Me…HOPEFUL! I’m bored to tears with the color of our kitchen/family room and would love to have the opportunity to change it up a bit on Lowe’s dime (heaven knows they’ve received plenty of OUR dimes). Thanks for the opportunity!
Rebecca says
Color Me… Relaxed. We were fortunate enough to move into a brand new house, but the rooms that are painted with accent colors are all brown! Dying to get some pale blues or greens up on these walls!
Stefanie says
Color me!
I don’t have a significant other. I tried not to let that make me feel like an outcast, so I took the quiz with a pretend partner :) Apparently my faux boyfriend and I are Relaxed! Isn’t that nice?
bri says
COLOR ME!
Allison M says
COLOR ME!
Together, we are relaxed. Which I think is very accurate!
