I love blogging. You get to meet the seriously coolest people in the world.
Recently I had the chance to interview Becky Ralich which is practically like interviewing Mr. Sherwin himself. Becky has been the color expert at Sherwin-Williams for more than 13 years, and let me tell you, she is ADORABLE and had some really fun tips for me to pass along.
This week is National Painting Week (my favorite week of the year!) and Sherwin has a lot of really fun things going on.
1. Don’t Think Of A Room By Itself.
Lets face it. When we decorate we may begin with just one space but it never just stays in one space it always dominos into other areas as Becky put it. Keep this in mind when you are painting. Everything doesn’t have to match but it should go.
2. You don’t need an entire color palette to begin with.
Start with something that you LOVE and that means something to you. A rug, or a pillow, or a piece of art that you would marry. Whatever it is make sure that you love it.
3. Feature Walls are taking a back seat to allover color.
A few years ago everyone had to have a red wall. Am I right? Becky said that people have developed a comfort level with color now. It doesn’t just have to be one wall that shows your decorating guts, its evolved into the entire room.
4. Rooms are like wardrobes.
Do you walk in to a store and say I will take everything in the collection and wear just that…all the time…without adding anything else? HECK NO! You get a shirt here, jeans there, and collect things as you go. That is exactly the mentality that you should have for your house. You guys know my loathing for all things furniture groupings.
5. Color tools help build confidence.
Remember in step 2 Becky said to start with something you love and work off of that? Sherwin Williams has a seriously awesome color tool called Chip-It!. Basically you upload an image and it gives you a 10 color palette to work with.
Arent those colors great?!
I just want to Chip It! everything!
Did you know that Sherwin Williams currently has more than 1600 colors? That is INSANE to me. I mean how can you NOT find something that you love?
The last question that I asked Becky is one that I get asked ALL.THE.TIME. What is the perfect gray? Not too purple, blue or brown, but still warm?
Readers meet March Wind:
Because its National Painting Week Sherwin-Williams has some really fun celebrations going on like 40% off coupons, room designs by some of our favorite bloggers and TONS of inspiration. Check out all of the fun stuff here.
And because Sherwin-Williams loves you guys as much as I do they are giving 2 lucky readers a $50 giftcard to spend in any Sherwin-Williams store!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
So to enter just leave a comment below! Make sure that you have an email linked to your blogger account (or leave it in the comment) Giveaway will end Tuesday April 24 at midnight MST

Painting is on our Spring TO DO List so this would be great!
I’ve been painting our front room so that means there is a domino effect going on in our house. A gift card to Sherwin Williams would be fantastical! Also, if I’m so lucky to snag one, it would be a birthday gift to me as it’s my birthday April 24th! Weeee!!

Ok Mandy, are you reading my mind or what? This is truly crazy!! I just mentioned to a friend that I am seriously considering repainting our living room, dining room, and family room. I know my husband will freak but something is just NOT right with the tan… it just looks too fleshy. It kinda creeps me out but my husband really liked it. It must be a guy thing! So now I am off to try out Clip it! because ya know I LOVE my new kitchen (and ALL our rooms are open to each other!) and the colors in the other rooms but not the walls in those rooms. (and the thought of changing my tomato red walls in the kitchen… well that AIN’T gonna happen!! I LOVE them!!)
Thank you for hosting this giveaway! and a big THANK YOU goes out for all the time and effort you put into your blog!
Have a great day!
Oh yes, grey is my fave.
The entire house is goldenrod. All of it. I fall asleep just thinking about it. I need so. Much. Paint.

Great giveaway! P.S. LOVE their March Wind grey. If I win, I’m buying that color stat and re-painting my bedroom..Which should be gray, but really looks like a pale lavender.
We so need to repaint our Master bedroom. The color is hideous and dark.
We were doing great painting our house and then quit (about a year ago) halfway through this process. Winning this might just motivate me to finish the rest of the house!
I was just looking for the perfect gray. oh Please Please Please let me win!!! Fingers crossed all the way until Tuesday at midnight!
What a fabulous giveaway and post! I am so happy to know about Chip It!
We are in the process of picking out SW colors for our home’s exterior. 🙂

I love the perfect gray-March Wind! [email protected]
Chip-it looks like fun! I’m in the process of painting right now and doing all the easy neutrals since I can’t decide on colors (I’m so fickle!). A gift card might help me make up my mind though. 🙂
Pick meeeeee!!! Just kidding, I know it is random. I am finally ready to paint my kitchen. I have been on the lookout for the perfect gray. Thank you so much for the color tip. I am doing gray cabinets and white walls. PS I totally Chip everything LOL

I LOOOOOOOVE color and colored walls make me so happy…as does Sherwin Williams Paint!
I’m in the process of choosing a grey for my living room…your choices above have now made things harder. 🙂 A sherwin-willliams gift card would be the icing on the cake for my living room re-do!
Ooooooh, so many painting projects! This sure would help!
These are perfect tips, especially for someone like me who gets completely overwhelmed when decorating. I always see what I want, but have a hard time translating it in my own home. I especially love the first tip…the creative thinking has begun…and Yay for Sherwin Williams!
This is fabulous timing…I need to buy some gray paint for our master bedroom makeover and this might just be the one I’ve been looking for. Gray is so difficult, but so rewarding when you get it right! I would love to win the giveaway. Also, that Chip-It tool is genius!

After buying our house over 4 years ago (and finally getting over the blahs from Breast cancer and RA) I am in full on decorating mode and it feels so good! Having a great time getting ideas from great blogs like this one and others. Now to choose some paint!
Can’t wait to try the chip it. Just got a new couch and w/ my walls I’m not sure what color to paint my coffee table.
I have so much painting to do in my house! I’m working on my front hall right now and it is slooow going!
My house so needs some paint! I want to go Chip it everything!
I could so use a paint gift card. The beige in our house is starting to make me feel sad. Kinda like that dude in the Fiber One commercial who says fiber makes him sad. Actually, this beige looks like a Fiber One bar. Oh. my. gosh. I am living in a Fiber One bar. Please let me win paint!
We’re slowly transforming our all-green house using SW paint…
Pick me! Getting ready to repaint my downstairs so I could definitely use this!

I would love a gift card for paint! [email protected]
I bought a house recently that was partially painted (walls AND ceilings). The owners started in the main room and stopped. I love the color but now can’t probably match it. Need some paint!!! Would love $ to buy paint!!
I have a SERIOUS hankering to paint the AWFUL green accent wall that the former homeowners “blessed” us with! SERIOUS hankering! (teehee! I said “hankering” twice.)
I love that Chip It! program, awesome! Can’t wait to get brave and put some color on my walls! [email protected]
Oh man, I could use some fresh paint up in here. Almost every room is exactly the same color (all nicely painted before we bought the house, but BORING) and it just hasn’t been in the budget to buy paint. I’d love to at least do my bedroom and the bathroom in a different color!
I’ve been a loyal SW client for all projects over 12 years. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to paint. Thanks for sharing all of your blessings with us! You have inspired me to start my own blog, and it’s a work in progress… 🙂

My house is in great need of paint. I could almost pick any room. We had our house up for sale and it didn’t sell and we had painted the rooms all beige (boring). Now I am ready for some color. Pick me!
I love Sherwin Williams and a good painting project!
I am about to start re-doing our entire 100+ year old house. We are almost finished with the repairs to the interior and I can’t wait to get started painting. The ChipIt tool is just what I need! [email protected]
Painting week and shark week are my two favorite weeks of the year!
Let me just say this….I WANNA WIN!!!
Paint colors are so hard – thank goodness for those little sample pots they sell. (hanging my head in shame because I’d probably spend the whole $50 on more sample pots, LOL!)
All my walls are the same color! I need some paint!

Sherwin Williams paint is the best…I wish Chip It would have been available three years ago when I bought my house. I’m now in the process of repainting…almost every thing.
I just moved into a new house and every room is a different color of the rainbow! I could really use one of the gift cards to jump start the marathon of painting I have to do in my new mid-century home!
It’s time for us to repaint the outside of our house and the basement. I get tired just thinking about it
I have two rooms I need to paint and only use Sherwin Williams because it’s the best! Just waiting for the next sale…or perhaps to win one of these gift cards? ;o)
i really want to re-paint the family room – this would be perfect!! :))

I just moved into a new place and could definitely use that Sherwin Williams card. Thanks for all the tips!

I love that ChipIt program! And I would love to win a gift card to Sherwin Williams. I’d use it to repaint my dining room. My husband painted it when we moved in…and he thought it would be totally cool to have a dark chocolate brown accent wall, while the other walls are a blah tan color. Yawn…We need some color in there!
Great article! Really would like to use the “Chip-it” program; fantastic idea!
What a great giveaway! My husband and I are going to start a kitchen makeover as soon as our weather warms up…painting walls & cabinets, getting a new sink and countertop, etc. We have set a budget that we want to spend, so a gift card would SO help out!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
I’d love to repaint my kitchen and add some stenciling. A gift card would help convince my husband that I “need” to do this project. 😛
Holy crap I need to paint both of our bathrooms. [email protected]
Would love to have a free date with March Wind!!! 😉
[email protected]
This would be a fabulous giveaway to win! Right this very moment, I have a Sherwin Williams paint chip taped to my bathroom wall! Please pick me! 🙂
Ooh, pick me! W have lots to paint here!
I love the hallway you did for your friend!!! I really could use a gallon of march wind.
I love the tips and Sherwin Williams is my favorite brand (the home depot stuff just isn’t as good to me, though it’s weird to think I’m a paint snob!) Thanks for the giveaway!
Absolutely a perfect gray…would love to use it in my own dining room…getting ready for a spring paint job-enjoy it and am a die-hard DIYer. Hope to win, but if not, just happy to find a new gray
I just found these amazing orange chairs for my living room that I am deep madly in love with and must adjust everything to fit them. I am a bit stumped for wall color…the chip thing will be so helpful and the $50 bucks will be awesome!
dollybenson @ gmail dot com
Painted my family room. NOT the gray I thought it was going to be. Would love to redo it!
Love your web site…great ideas, but the best thing is your exuberant personality.
I just was thinking I need to update the colors in our family room…and I love that gray color. And…yes, I have one red wall in my kitchen. Then after that, I pained my dining room a nice squash color / and brown combo. Love it – so warm. Most of all…we need our hallways painted. 3 kids up and down stairs make for a lot of marks on the wall!
GREYGREYGREY!!! I am having a baby in September and want to paint the babies room a nice grey. I actually have a new apartment that I need to paint- we move in at the end of this month!! So a gift card would be very helpful! Thanks for this post it couldn’t of came at a better time for me.
I am already on SherwinWilliams.com and using Chip it!

I’m in desperate need of new paint! My house colors are NASTY thanks to the previous owners…it looks like dog pee! Ew! [email protected]
Hope I win! [email protected]
I have a GREEN accent wall in my kitchen. For real. It was like that when we moved in. Not like a pretty green, but like a weird yucky green! That $50 could go a long way to helping it disappear! 😉
I would love to win this! I really want to paint my bedroom! I hope I win 🙂 [email protected]

Thank you for this opportunity! [email protected]
Hi,
Just moved into a new apartment. Though they graciously repainted the whole the place is kind of a dead colour – not grey, not white – just plain yuck! I preferred the old “builder’s beige” it was at least alive. So this $50 would go a long way to liven up my new place.
Thanks for the giveaway,
Cathy
I’m moving to a new place in Atlanta from DC, would love to be able to paint my new southern home!
I would love to re-paint my front hall. Loved you on the Nate Show,
Oh that paint would come just in time for my living room!
Hahaha–a red wall! Yep! We have one. We live in a rental that was painted this way when we moved in. I would LOVE to paint–so I would love to win your awesome give-away!
[email protected]
I would love to paint some things! Thanks, [email protected]
I love Sherwin-Williams paint. The people who work there are always very helpful and there are so many colors to choose from. 🙂
I’m going to sample march wind TODAY. Thanks for the giveaway!!!
With a new baby and a new house all I need now is new money. Would love to do some painting and start to get settled. Thanks for the opportunity. Love your site!
I’m heading to Sherwin Williams on my lunch hour today for Alkyd cabinet paint. Hello 40% off…There is also a $10 off $50 coupon on their site. thanks for posting this.

Chip It! is my new addiction.
I have 4 rooms that need painting (as in they are still builder’s white) so this would come in very handy…thanks for the chance!
I am currently painting our new house! Full of color, just love it! I always use Sherwin Williams, I even brought a paint chip from somewhere else and they made me some right up. They are great!
Fantastic! I’m trying to decide on “the perfect gray” for my living room/kitchen/breakfast nook which are all one long room with no official room breaks on the walls. This is also the space that leads from my dining room which is two tones of grey (light above, darker below) and I want the space to flow but not be all the same color. Plus it needs to be dark enough to set off the white wood door and window trim and my white cabinets. Its a renovated 112 year old victorian and all the main living spaces are open to the others. I love it but choosing paint colors has been a bit of a struggle. I believe I’ll be using the Chip-it program to find wall colors to coordinate with my brand new avocado green(!)couch.
I have been wanting to repaint our master bedroom and bathroom this would be the perfect opportunity to find the perfect color
Perfect timing. I’m about to buy my first home and need to establish a look. Now I feel like I have some great painting knowledge under my belt

Fantastic! It is time to paint my boys shared bedroom and give it some personality!!
Thanks so much!
There is always a room to be painted. Bring it on!

I love this idea…and I LOVE Sherwin Williams!! I would be so excited to win this give-away 🙂
Sherwin Williams makes me so happy. Even thought I’m still a renter, I had to repaint my home in various shades of SH paint.

paint, one of my loves!! got a few rooms needing a lift!
Thank you for asking about the perfect gray. I may go get a sample tomorow and throw it up on my master bedroom wall. Kate, klsaustin1(at)aol.com
This couldn’t have come at a better time, I have been searching for the perfect grey forever! [email protected]
I’m getting ready to start painting my kitchen so I’d love to win! I really love Chip It! and it’s been great to help me make a color decision.
I would love to have a great start to my painting for the next year. We are moving back home into an old family home. It is going to need ALOT of paint. Thanks for the oportunity
I really need paint. My dining room has a cheapo red paint below the chair rail that scuffs and chips when my toddler runs his toys/chair/trike into it. Help! [email protected]
That was a great interview and thanks for keeping us up on the trends and techniques. I really need to paint our front entry hall but can’t decide what color. Maybe the Chip it! program will help! [email protected]
I just repainted my office, living room, entry, kitchen and dining room – all with paint from Sherwin Williams and LOVE their paint. However – my daughters have convinced me that I was a little too bold with my color choices and want me to tone it down a bit. So, I’d be most appreciative to receive the gift card to cover up my less than ideal color choices. Thanks for the giveaway.
We have been looking for the ‘perfect’ gray for our bedroom – I want to try out March Wind!! And what an awesome thing is Chip It!! So fun. [email protected]
We just signed the contract on a new condo- so once we close there will be major painting needs! [email protected]
This is perfect timing! Now…I need to win too 🙂
Thanks for the super giveaway and March Wind is pretty.
Would love to win a gift card to March Wind my bedroom, which is currently Builder’s Beige with various swatches of taupe across one wall, none of which is inspiring me. (Meanwhile, am contemplating turning great-grandmother’s pink and gray tea service into a lamp, which would look lovely against a March Wind backdrop.) [email protected]
Need to paint soon, so would LOVE to win this giveaway!!
Thanks for the March Wind tip, we’ve been looking at greys forever now. Hoping to win a giftcard!
Our son just bought a house. Needs paint in every room. Love SW paints. I can’t wait to try chip it to help with his color selections.

I just bought paint there today and the customer service was fantastic!!!
Am thinking about changinyg to a white pallet. This would help.
I so need to win this. We have such a tight budget and a big ole house to paint–top to bottom. I love Sherwin Williams paint and their staff. They are always so great. Plus fabulous colors
I have been REALLY wanting to repaint our bedroom in their beautiful blue hue, “Riverway”! Unfortunately I’m short on funds right now but know that as soon as I have the mulah, THAT color is going to be ON MY WALLS! 🙂 Love it.

I just heard about you today.. and it was meant to be. I’ve been searching for the perfect gray for our new place. I would love to go purchase March Wind with my $50 gift card. Thanks!

[email protected]
Ooooo – love a great giveaway. And Chip It! is awesome!
I seriously want to kiss that gray! It really is perfect. I am about to take on the giant task of painting pretty much every square inch of my house. This would be a big fat help in that project!
I’m so excited! We are in a full house remodel and I want some pretty amazing colors in the master bedroom. I’m not afraid to splash colors around and I am very excited to bring a new color into my bedroom!!!
I need the perfect brown for my cupcake truck, a gift card would be great!
My store knows me by name;). A gift card would be stellar!!!
Getting paint soon! Thanks for this! 🙂 & Chip-it looks awesome! Going to check it out now…
Paint is one of those thigs that can change your walls, your home — but best of all — your attitude! Love Sherwin William paint! Easy to use and beautiful colors! Doing my bathroom in “beach” colors. Light aqua. sea glass green, sand.
How about THIS colossal painting mistake??– Painting your house and thinking that it’s “you,” only to discover that it’s not “you” at all; you were only going by what you THOUGHT was the “right” choice……and then having to RE-PAINT everything because you want your whole house to be TURQUOISE instead of BEIGE!! 🙂
(Um, yeah, true story. LOL)

Im in the process of re decorating my bedroom as we speak…..this would be an amazing gift!

I love Sherwin-Williams just pinted my bedroom and master bath last week! [email protected]
I am desperate to paint my master bedroom when we moved into our house 10 years ago we tried to do a faux finish with a silver glaze, it didnt turn out so good and we have yet to correct that mistake!!!
Love both of those Chip It! cards! I am a huge fan of color, but I’ve found myself wanting to paint my whole house gray and white so I can use color EVERYWHERE ELSE! Art, furniture, pillows, lighting…I want it all colorful. So I need a great neutral base. And every room in my house needs painting. So I’d love to win this gift card. So much. So, so much.
I can’t wait to check out this chip it program. I need to paint nearly every room in my house. TIME FOR A CHANGE!
I’m painting all the furniture in my bedroom. This is a perfect giveaway! And I love SW paints. msmaf ***at rocketmail (dot) com
Redoing my kitchen….neeeeed paaaiinnt!

[email protected]
UM YES!!! Painting NEEDS to be done at my house and lots of it!! So cool! 🙂 My email is; [email protected]
Love vintage! [email protected]
SO after much time and debate, I have fallen in love with the HGTV Sherwin Williams color collection Traditional Twist. I have all these great items my in-laws gave us from Indonesia and traditional furniture that I purchased on my own because of the stellar prices. (Yep, I’m freaking cheap & like making cheap work.) So I figured, these colors look awesome, this takes away the guessing and multiple purchases of those tiny, tantalizing sample jars making it all the much easier on me and the mister. Now I only have to focus on 20 colors- WOOO PROGRESS!
You can never have enough paint! NEVER!
