Fab Freebie: Behr Alongside Me

***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 will 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 ideal 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 quite own rooms with a few clicks of the mouse (it is a strong way to waste an whole 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 truly impressed by how the program smoothly integrated the existing shadows and sun spots in the photo that we uploaded, giving the room a fairly realistic look (all without having to pick up a paint brush). Plus, with the color selector tool it was truly straightforward to adjust the color, no matter if we chose it needed to be lighter, darker or even more green.

So if you wanna win one of these free gallons of paint, simply leave a comment on this post with the words “BEHR WITH ME” by Wednesday, April 1st at 8pm EST. While you are at it, we’d enjoy to know if there is 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…
