***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…

The sofa in our family room is rust orange in color. I would love to use that as my inspiration to bring some more coordinating colors into the otherwise beige-y colored room.

PAINT ME!
There is a painting that my husband’s grandfather painted recently for an art exhibition he had on Saturday, one that I like here is called “four flowers” (pic #5) you can see it here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4838469&id=232247304023. I like this painting very much and would really like to use it in our guest bedroom. We love neutral colors and I think it would be a very nice pallete, cozy and relaxing.

Aaron says
PAINT ME
Our living room is still the plain ole white that it was painted when we bought the house 2 years ago. Its time to get moving on that. We typically use pictures we find online or fabrics we’ve purchased to decide on colors. For the living room I think we’re considering a scheme based on some designer wrapping paper we picked up a while back.
Sara says
Paint Me! My husband and I are in the process of purchasing our first home! We could really use some new paint. I would draw inspiration from the water and trees here in the Pacific Northwest!
Erika says
Paint Me!

“PAINT ME” I’m inspired by a lovely framed picture of a tropical island—the blue-green ocean, creamy white sands, and green palms are so soothing!
AshKappa says
PAINT ME!

Katie says
PAINT ME! I found a picture of a gorgeous turquoise and orange room—maybe too kooky of a scheme for some, but perfect for our Florida house. I’d love to find the perfect turquoise-y color for our guest room walls and carry out that gorgeous color combo in there!

Jenn says
PAINT ME!!
My husband and I just purchased a house and we have a whole lot of painting to do! We are inspired by the colors we chose for our living room (a very light turquoise for the walls and pops of gray and orange throughout the room). Now we are trying to determine what color to paint our dining room that is VERY visible from the living room….We have already tried two different colors that were very wrong…3rd times the charm, right? We’re going through gallons of paint like nobody’s business :)
Lindsey Rockers says
paint me! i could def use a few gallons for the yhl inspired stripes i want to paint in my office! im thinking some bolder colors though… maybe navy or yellow and white?!
Jen says
