What better way to celebrate ONE YEAR at Favorite Paint Colors than with a giveaway! I can’t believe how fast the time has flown by and I want to thank all of you for making this blog a success. Thank you to my readers (you) and for everyone who has inspired us by submitting their rooms and paint colors to this site. I have loved every minute of it and am amazed at your talent and how paint can transform a space.
So in honor of you, I want to give away a few of my favorite items, along with a $100 gift card to the paint store of your choice. 
And the winner will get…
1. Tight Spots Paintbrush. I was introduced to this brush a few weeks ago when I was helping my friend paint and I fell in love. This brush has a short rubber handle and is so easy to grip, which makes it easy to control the brush lines for tight spots and makes cutting go much faster.
2. Purdy Paintbrush - its name speaks for itself. LOVE everything about this brush. It will last you a lifetime if you take care of it, gives you great coverage and a sharp line.
3. Last but not least -Frogtape. Another favorite painting essential.How to Enter:
(Up to 3 entires per person)
1. Simply tell me what paint project is on your to do list that needs to get DONE,
AND/OR tell me what your favorite paint product is.
2. Become a follower of my blog and/or subscribe and let me know that you did so in a separate comment.
3. Post on facebook, twitter or blog and let me know in separate comment.
Please leave your e-mail so that if selected, I have a way to contact you. Thank you!
Giveaway will end 10 PM EST on Monday, April 23rd. Winner will be selected via random.org and will be notified by e-mail.
(This is not a sponsored giveaway, just some of my favorite things that I want to share. All items came from Sherwin –Williams) Good luck!
We need to repaint our bathrooms.

Right now we are renting so many of the colors are saved for our future home but to tide yself over I paint furniture!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!! So exciting! We have a set of stairs that used to have nasty green carpet on them. Now they are nasty wood. They really need painted. Dark treads, white risers, numbers on the risers...real original right?! :) But I know i'll love it.

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I need to paint my back decks --yep two of them with lots of peeling paint. Not ambitious enough to change the colors, but it will still be plenty of work :-) And you already know I love the brush, but since I have 3 of them, I probably don't need another...

Painting project will never stop....lots on the list.

ReplyDeleteOur hands-down favorite paint is Benjamin Moore. We have unsteady hands so Frog Tape is something we have in our stock all the time. And of course, we wouldn't get get anything done without our trusty Purdy brushes. We moved in a brand new beige box so we're going to paint every single room eventually. We just did our master bath and both the kids' rooms. Bliss! Congatulations!
ReplyDeleteWe are about to move, and I will have to paint at least 4 rooms.

ReplyDeleteI have a few painting projects on my to do list: paint our office which will be a nursery in a few months, paint our half bath that is this terrible purplish color, and we just got new living room furniture so I want to spruce the walls up to (we foolishly painted our walls with flat paint before kids and they are filthy!)

ReplyDeleteMy to-do list includes touching up the paint on my baseboards and the door trim! I always seem to notice as I am leaving the house...
ReplyDeleteI just painted my kitchen in Martha Stewart's Mourning Dove and have plans to bring it out to the living room. Before that can happen I need to repaint the baseboards in Home Depot's Swiss Coffee, yes i do trim first because I try not to use tape as much as possible and I have a pretty steady hand when it comes to the color that meets the trim work.
ReplyDeleteI love Purdy brushes they are amaz-balls.
I follow you in my Reader Feed. love ya

Love love love your blog! I look forward to seeing the featured color each day or two and you've been a big help in deciding paint colors. Right now, we are working on the "Golden Gate Bridge" project at our house, starting from one end of the house and working/painting our way to the other end since it's been 14 years since we originally painted! So the next room to be tackled is the kitchen breakfast area and that will be a doozy!
