***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Paint a smile on your faces people, because that’s what we’re giving away this week! Paint, that is, not smiles (though hopefully smiles sort of come along with getting a prize, right?). This week we’re giving away a room full of paint from Olympic (that means 2 gallons of Olympic Premium Interior Paint and 1 gallon of primer) to THREE people. Woo hoo! We love this stuff because now no matter what color you get mixed, it’s still 100% VOC-free. Can’t beat that, right? And that’s exactly why we used it in our bathroom remodel earlier this year. Plus, Olympic just launched a new, free desktop application called ColorClix to help inspire your perfect palette.
Once downloaded, the little ColorClix box invites you to click anywhere on your desktop – a photo, a video, an icon, whatever – and syncs that color with one in the Olympic catalog. Like if I wanted to build a room around the adorable picture of a snoozing chihuahua I’d just have to click anywhere on his fur to get an Olympic paint color (apparently Burger’s eyebrow is “Stony Creek”). It also displays the rest of the colors on the virtual swatch as well as recommended complimentary colors.
The program also lets you save all of your inspiration colors in projects sorted by room and then you can use those saved projects to virtually paint rooms on Olympic.com. You know, if you really wanted to go as far as to let your dog’s coloring determine the coloring of your walls.
So go have some fun playing with ColorClix and check out the rest of this week’s details:
- PRIZE: One room of paint from Olympic, including 2 gallons of Olympic Premium Interior Paint and 1 gallon of primer
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “PAINT ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about a photo, object, or other inspiration item that you’d love to draw some paint palette inspiration from. Did you photograph a stunning landscape recently that could lend itself to an accent wall color? Have you spotted a vase or pillow at the store that could inspire a whole room?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, September 8th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Three
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck…

Paint Me! I am inspired by a set of antique turquoise chairs I picked up at a flea market for $10 each! They are SOLID and sturdy!!
Harmony says
Paint Me!
The first thought that comes into my head is some gorgeous black and white stencil art I was just thinking of imitating. I think it’d be a nice change in my house to have colorless artwork, and have BRIGHT, VIBRANT wall paint that stands on its own. In a house with too many beige walls… I need some COLOR!
Heather says
PAINT ME! I was given some BEAUTIFUL bedding from Anthropologie for my wedding a while back. It is an intricate pattern with neutral tans, soft yellows and even a touch of chartreuse. The problem is that for the past two years I haven’t been able to figure out how to incorporate the whole room into the scheme without going too neutral or clashing. This program is perfect!

PAINT ME. I have a bathroom that is a seafoam color that I have no idea what to do with. I’d love some paint to change it to a color I enjoy. I’d also love to paint one wall in my bedroom that is grey, purple, silver, and black to make it stand out.

PAINT ME! The colors on Maui. I am about to order large prints of some of the green, Jurassic Park-y landscapes I photgraphed along the road to Hana. The ocean is such an intense blue, the foliage is a brilliant green. My house is tan, gray, and pale blue. I could use some deeper hues!
