Remember that post where I showed you our newly finished basement?  Yeah.  The one from yesterday.  I had mentioned how easy it was to pick out the paint for the rooms.  It was so simple because I adore Olympic paint.  And I am back to bring you the down-low on my picks for our new space:

First of all – I am not endorsed by Olympic.  Olympic knows me just as much as Ashton Kutcher does.  As in – not at all.

Secondly – I wouldn’t recommend something that I don’t have – but this brand?  It is actually used all over the house – go ahead, check the source list.  So it was a shoo-in for the basement makeover.

And #C – It is uber-eco-friendly AND affordable!

Even their paint cans got a greener facelift recently in celebration of their commitment to environmentally safe products.  Not only are they low odor but their formula has zero VOC’s (which is good news for all you breathing people out there!) .   That means that your newly painted room will be beautiful for the eyes and for the lungs.  And do you see that little seal there on the bottom of the can?  That is the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval…yeah, I have one of those on my patootie too.  It means we are F to the iiiine!

So now that you know all about how much I love Olympic Paint….I have news of a giveaway for ya (go ahead and squeel – it is perfectly normal!).  In honor of the grand reveal of our finished basement, the fine folks over at Olympic Paint offered up some free paint to three lucky readers.

 

So here’s the details for the Olympic Paint Giveaway:

No matter what stage of life you are in – I know that you could think of a way to use some free paint!  Maybe you are single and just starting out, or perhaps you are newlyweds or first time homeowners that would love to spruce up that fixer-upper, or maybe you have little ones on the way that could use a nursery redo.  Even you retired folks should enter to get a chance to finish some long-overdue projects.
