I’m sure a lot of you heard about the free Glidden paint giveaway (which sadly ended July 2). I mean, a free quart of paint in the color of your choice?! – yes, please! I had nearly forgotten that I ordered a can until I came home yesterday to a small box from Glidden sitting on my doorstep.
And here it is, in its peacock blue glory! (Funny we picked the same color, Liz!)
strut it!
And for what project(s) will I be using this B-R-I-G-H-T color?! Umm…not so sure. I do have a few ideas in mind, like painting the lampshades of the pair of lamps on my buffet, or perhaps painting a few accessories here or there to really *POP* in the living room.
Why did I pick this blue, you might ask?! Well, I’ve been contemplating a color switch-up in the living room, trading out my pillows with shades of red (so over them) and adding peacock blue and the same agave green from the adjacent kitchen. I just need to find pillows with said colors.
here it is dried
Did you partake of the free paint giveaway?! If so, what color did you pick, and what do you plan to do with it???

Hey, great minds think alike!
I’m so glad to see that it’s as gorgeous in person as it looked on the sample – can’t wait to get mine, and to see what you do with yours!!
I love love love the color! I did not know about this whole ditching the red, bringing in blue, thing! I’m PRO the change! But I’m nervous about the lamp shades! Let me know what you do!!
Phew, I feel affirmed about the color change…and I’m totally undecided about the lampshades…so many options!
I won a quart of the peacock blue off of Ebay. Very pretty blue. I saw your page and now I don’t have to open it to see it. Thanks!
the color i picked was robin’s egg blue.
i actually received 3 quarts because i used my sister and my brother’s address…
i have just enough for my room… it’s a very small room.
yay for free!
