Yolo Colorhouse makes gorgeous zero-VOC paint which means it's good for you, your home and the environment. They are both Green Seal [5] certified and has a whole bunch of LEED rating points [6]. I first learned about Yolo Colorhouse when we bought our first home and painted every wall, ceiling and door with zero-VOC paint (I would have painted the floors too, but half are already pretty nice and the other half are carpet). Yolo Colorhouse has amazing colors, each one is richly pigmented and seems to spring from nature. I wasn't surprised to find that the women who founded the company actually started with color [7], custom mixing it on the spot for clients, and was followed by researching and creating paint that would be healthier for themselves and the dwellings they put it in. They call themselves color nerds! Their designer sensibilities also show in how they present the paint, they sell poster-sized samples of the actual paint which you can hang on the wall of you choice to see how it acts in the light in that space and there is no need to paint a swatch on your wall (something I find perilous and more work than it seems). Or, if you're getting ready to make some paint choices for your home, you can order a Design Kit which are books of 8x8 samples of all the colors they offer. Which brings us back to the giveaway!
Yolo Colorhouse would like to give a reader both of their Design Kits [8], each is worth $80. One set contains The Earth's Color [9] collection and the second contains both The Color of Hope [10] collection as well as the Sprout [11] collection which is a range of lovely pastels suitable for childrens rooms. Each sample card lists three companion colors on the back as well as a note on the color. My favorite, Petal .02, says "Hot lime - full of energy. Try it with black and white - makes for a lively contemporary kitchen or for an accent in a kid's play room." Petal .01 reports "Make no mistake, Petal .01 is loud and vibrant. An orange designed to be used sparingly, unless you want to live loud." Each kit is bound using a metal ring that is easy to unclasp so you can hold up individual samples as needed. In addition to the design kits you'll get an organic cotton tote bag and a BPA-free water bottle. Excellent, right?
Are you a designer? Or just fixing up your house and anticipating needing some time to obsess over colors? These are meant for you. If you think these Design Kits would come in handy you can enter this giveaway simply by leaving a comment with this post. If you'd like something to chat about (I love reading all the responses) please answer this question: Which color would you paint your ideal kitchen? I think I'd go with a sunny yellow to keep my spirits up during our overcast winter days. You've got until Tuesday, June 14th to enter, the fine print [12] applies and the winner will be chosen by the Random Number Generator. Just so you know: This a sponsored giveaway, from a company I like.
Alright, good luck! Done! I'll be announcing the winning number once I've heard back. Thanks so much for entering everybody!
