Favorite Things Giveaway #8 Dutch Boy Paint

By 353 Comments

***THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED***

I love to paint!!! As soon as I hear someone casually mention they will be painting I offer to come help. They probably don’t even want me to, but I butt right in and invite myself. There is just something about seeing results almost instantly. I love that in a matter of hours you have drastically changed a space and all for just the cost of paint.

Dutch Boy paint is one of my favorites. It is great paint and I ADORE that their container is plastic with a twist lid. GENIUS! I can’t tell you how many times the metal lid of a can has dented and then won’t fit tightly again. Once the metal lid id dented you are outta luck my friend. It is so hard to get a seal after that. Plus they have a handle on the side that is so nice and another handle on the top. Oh! AND it has a pour spout. Seriously, whoever designed that twist and pour container hopefully got a big fat raise!

Dutch Boy Paint is offering to giveaway

Two gallons of your choice of color! They will send you a paint deck with all their colors.

Then you can take your time choosing the right color. Start to finish you will have your paint in about a month. Perfect for that future project!

  13. Can I say the entire house? We just rent, but the paint is terrible with touch-ups different from the wall color (all white, just varied shades). I’ve been given approval to paint, but decided not to invest money into it … if we one I’d paint at least our living space!

  19. I am doing a major makeover at my mother in laws house and paint would be really helpful. We need paint for the living room, dining room and kitchen. It would be awesome to have one of their color charts to find the right color too.
    Thank you for hosting.

I had painted it white years ago just to clean it up, but now it needs repainted and could use some color! I am having a giveaway myself to celebrate the room being done as much as it can be right now. So go over to my blog and leave a comment.

  107. Dutch boy is my absolute fave as well….about 90% of my home is covered with it! I do have one project that I have been trying to budget in and that is painting the beams between my green living room and my golden dining room using my new favorite color orange! I am a sucker for the colors of fall! I have a paint chip of my chosen color; Terra Warmth from Dutch Boy in my purse as we speak! I am hoping to complete this before the holdidays….I can’t wait.

  137. I would love to win the paint. I am a widow and live on a very limited income. As for the room, I would like to paint my kitchen and cabinets. My kitchen looks pathetic.

    I also “liked” Dutch Boy on Facebook and I follow you as well. I hope I did this right. So far I have never won anything anywhere. I am sure praying on this one.

  140. WOW! this is a great giveaway!! Any room in my house could use a makeover! I would love to do the kitchen or our bedroom! love it!

    Reply

  142. Every room in our house needs paint! But I would love to use this for our maste rbedroom, it has never been more than a dumping ground for all the laundry. It needs something to make it special.

    Reply

  146. My computer/den is 15 years overdo for a refreshing. Looking forward to loosing the stenciling and fresh creamy white woodwork. Dutch Boy Paint has the best Semi-gloss Paint and this room needs lots of it to cover the bead board, trim around 5 doorways (it is a pass thru room, approx. 9×22) and 1 window, plus a large built-in storage/coat closet. Two gallons of Dutch Boy Paint will be a good start for this makeover!

  147. We have been in our houes for over 5 years and every room has been painted (some twice) except the master bedroom. It really needs it but always seems like there is something more important to get. this would be awesome!!

  152. Our family room really needs a makeover!! New paint would help so much (could your next give away be 800 sq ft of carpet to go along with this? he he he), paint really transforms a room!

  153. I have two rooms that NEED makeovers. My family room and the full bathroom are in desperate need of new paint. It would be hard to decide which one would get the paint!

  155. I just used this paint for the first time in my master bath. LOVED the twist lid, handle and pour spout!!!!!!! I’m surprised more paint companies haven’t caught on to that! I would love more to do my other 2 bathrooms.

  159. Honestly, every room in my home needs a color makeover! But, I would like to start with my kitchen first! Thanks so much for the chance!

    Reply

  163. Already a follower! I would repaint my office. When I painted it several years ago, I ran out of paint before finishing. For some reason, the store couldn’t get a match–after several attempts, I gave up–and sponge painted. I cringe every time I walk in there.

    Reply

  166. You really put a lot of work in to these giveaways and i love finding out about great products! I would paint my kitchen cabinets, if i find the courage!!

  182. What room DOESN’t need a makeover! Geesh! I could really use two gallons of paint! :) We have our laundry room, our bedroom, and two bathrooms, and a kitchen that could all use it desperately!! This would be wonderful!

    Reply

  188. Ok so I’m not quite as enthusiastic about painting as you are but I do like it and it can be alot of fun! I’d like to paint my hubby’s office, which isn’t technically at our house but we both spent quite a bit of time there and the plain white, panelled walls are killing me! I was thinking a hunting theme – creme or egg shell and either a bear brown or hunter green with a nice border? :)

    Reply

  192. Actually all my rooms, I will be moving into a new house and the walls are really white. I would like to give the house some warmth. Thanks for all you do.

    Reply

  201. We moved into our house 5 1/2 yrs ago while I was LARGELY 8mo pregnant the last day of November (we live in Toronto so that means LOTS of snow and -20* conditions), from a 1 bedroom apt that my hubby, I and our 15mo old little guy shared!!! Since then I have been slowly working on projects around this lovely house. One of those major projects is painting, the walls were never primed…the paint is right on the sheetrock…not a huge problem if you use a great paint…which was NOT used in this house (everytime I wash the walls, and remember I have 2 little boys, my rag comes away with paint on it!). Toronto is also VERY humid in the summer so this lovely paint has started peeling off the walls in funny places, one of those places sadly happened to be on the time-out step…NOT the best place with little fingers to pick at it. So needless to say I could REALLY use some GOOD, non creamy yellow, washable paint!!! Thanks for your fab giveaways!

  204. I’ve managed to either paint or paper (several times) every room in the house but one, which I’m not going to bother with. However, I’ve been inspired by your stenciling, and I’d love to add another layer of color to my very boring beige living room. I have one big wall that I think would look neat stenciled in another shade of beige. Love the container. Brilliant.

    Reply

  211. Oh, how fun! Our house was vacant for 2 years before we bought it last year, so we are slowly fixing up every room. We have had to paint every room, because there was only primer and no paint on the walls. I would love some Dutch Boy paint. I love their easy to use containers.

    Reply

  212. Which room? Well there are 3 areas in my house that need paint right now. Our second bathroom, which the walls are in quite a mess, wall paper coming down and well that should explain that one. The open area which includes the kitchen, dining, entry and living room. We actually have patches of 3 different colors around this area trying to choose what color to paint this area. Last, but not least the master bedroom. The last time we did anything in our room was about 6 years ago. Everything is quite due for an update.

    Reply

  216. Just moved into a new house and the entry room was painted a dark blue and the rest of the house are neutral colors except for the bedrooms and office which are still “white” so the entrance room really needs to match the rest of the house. We also have to pain the bedrooms because the previous owners never kept anything clean so the bedroom walls are “white” but are so dirty and they let their kids draw all over them :( .

    Reply

  220. I am so desperate to pain my little guy’s room. When we bought the house, two of the bedrooms were already painted with beautiful murals. The first room went to my older son, since it was decorated for a boy in a camping theme. Since I was pregnant and didn’t know the gender of the baby, we never painted the second room, which is decorated with a stunning Cinderella’s castle mural. I hate to paint over the art work, but my newest turned out to be a boy! He’s been sleeping in a princess room for the last year, we just haven’t gotten around to painting it yet! This would give me the kick I need to get me started on turning his room into the “Pirate Cove” I had planned on!

  227. i liked Dutch Boy paint on FB and let them know you sent me and thanked them for the giveaway. Great giveaway! I didn’t know about their screw on lids either. How awesome!

  228. Oh I would paint our office which is brown, beige, and did I mention brown? It feels like a cave and we need to lighten it up! I love the twist-and-pour cans!

    Reply

  229. I think every room in my house needs a new paint job .. but if I had to pick one I would go with my bedroom. Its a dark grey at the moment but I think it needs to go lighter. I was thinking nice big bold horizontal stripes in similar tones. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Reply

  240. Oh my…how to pick just one room……I guess I would pick our master bathroom. It’s rather dark and dreary and I would love to lighten it up and make it fresh!!

  254. I would LOVE to paint over this dark brown accent wall I have. At first I liked it, but it’s just too dark for me. I’d love to go with a light blue if I could summon the courage! dutch boy paint jugs sound very cool, why can’t everyone else do that too?

  311. Is it too late to enter this? If you have been to my house lately, you would know that I still need to paint the girls’ upstairs bedroom, the downstairs guest bedroom and the livingroom. hmmm, that is more than 2 gallons worth, but it sure would help! :) ps I agree with the container design being very painter-friendly! I especially love the pour-spout!

  321. These Giveaways could not come at a more perfect time for us. Our girls are sharing a room currently, but for Christmas we are giving them their own separate rooms. The paint would be wonderful for their room makeovers!

  351. I left a coment on facebook(dutch boy ). We have been remodeling our home, and for the last 3-4 years have been doing a bedroom fro our daughter. We have not been able to go any further with it until I pick a paint color. I have been looking for over a year and cannot find that perfect green to go with the forest wallpaper mural we put on one wall. Now, even if I can find the right color, we still can’t finish her room, because we can’t even afford to buy any paint. I am a stay at home mom and my husband lost his job over a year ago. Neither of us have been able to find any work….So, unfortunately, as much as our daughter wants to get into her new bedroom, she will have to wait awhile. I sure would love to give her the bedroom she wants so much! Kathy
