Great Idea: Glidden Paint Testers

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Glidden. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love painting rooms in my house vibrant and fun colors. A couple years ago I decided I wanted to paint a wall in the living room a burnt orange. We must have painted that wall 3 different shades of orange before we found the right one. It was frustrating to say the least.

Thanks to Glidden I can now buy paint testers and try out the color before investing in an entire gallon of paint. We always buy our Glidden paint at Home Depot. They have paint testers in every color plus large size color chips.

One of the great things about the Glidden paint testers is that the lid has a brush built right in. Instant gratification…I can bring it home, unscrew the lid and brush it right on the wall :) Paint testers are also handy for covering up scuffs and markers on the wall. Thankfully we are past the marker on wall stage, but I know there must be some Moms out there that know exactly what I’m talking about. A toddler with a marker is a very dangerous thing.

Glidden’s website www.glidden.com offers a handy tool called the Room Painter. You can try out different paint options all from the comfort of your home. Click on over and check it out. Try out the Blooming Fuscia with Sunbaked Orange and you’ll have an idea of what my daughter’s room looks like. We love color in our house :)
