Shopping Disney Paint For Zoe’s Princess Room with Glidden & Walmart #DisneyPaintMom

April 2, 2013 by Momstart 5 Comments

So you may find this hard to believe but I’ve been promising my daughter that I would paint her room for two years now. Oh yeah, that makes me feel really low. But yes, it’s true. MomTrends offered me the chance to work with Glidden Paint who has partnered with Disney Paint and Walmart to get my daughter’s princess room up. My task was to only paint one wall, shop for my paint at Walmart and get things for our Princess theme.

I headed out to Walmart and found that they have tons of colors and themes, my daughter chose pink and purple and the sparkle paint. She loves all things princesses. and look at these colors available in the Glidden Disney paint available at Walmart.

Glidden Disney also offers these amazing paint specialty options:

All that Glitters provides a glitter shine over any surface
Ready, Set, Glow! makes any surface glow
Speck-tacular provides a speckled shine over any surface
Magnificent Metallic comes in gold and is tintable
Great Slate is available in ready to use black and in tintable colors.

I only picked up a can of All That Glitters because that’s the type of room we were creating, but I was quite tempted to pick up the Ready, Set, Glow! and the Magnificent Metallic and the Great Slate and the chalk board paint that they have. Oh, once I get started with a decorating project I have a hard time stopping and at Walmart you can find anything and everything you need including drop cloths, paint supplies, brushes, paint cleaner, decals for decorating rooms, bedding, EVERYTHING.

Before you head out shopping, check the Walmart stores that carry the paint by visiting DisneyPaint.com. On the top, right-hand side, you can enter your zip codes and a list of Walmart stores selling paints will come up.

Room Make Over Challenge Glidden Brilliance Collection, Trim & Door Paint

November 1, 2011 by Momstart 1,175 Comments

I’m working with Glidden and so far it’s been so much fun. If you read last week, I gave my front door a make over with the Glidden Trim & Door paint. Glidden Trim & Door, is an industry-first innovation that amazingly leaves behind no drips or brush marks, making it easier than ever to paint interior and exterior trim, doors, furniture and more. Check out this quick video of the paint for our Door Makeover.

Step Two is going to be Zoe’s room and I have not painted it yet. We’re going to get that done in the next two weeks. We did however make our trip to Walmart and spent about an hour looking at colors and trying to decide which color to get. I was quite indecisive as Glidden has so many different colors to choose from. For Zoe, it was an easy choice, purple or pink. But I wanted to get a little more creative with her room. I was thinking trees, butterflies and flowers. Yep, I’m crazy but it’s going to be amazing.

When painting a room you need to determine how much paint you need. Glidden.com has a paint calculator which allows you to enter the number of walls you want to paint, their dimensions, and then tells you how much paint you will need. I used this tool to determine that we don’t quite need two gallons but that’s what I purchased.

Glidden Colors:

You can view the 306 Glidden color options if you want to get a head start on your room make over.

Then I had to decide which finish I wanted. I think with kids and dirty fingers always touching the walls I really wanted to go with the Glidden Two in One, the Glidden Brilliance Collection Interior Semi-Gloss Medium. Glidden Brilliance Collection paint, a Glidden line recently launched at Walmart stores nationwide, is a 2 N 1 paint that has paint and primer in one can.

We did have a lot of fun picking out the paint and getting all of the needed painting supplies.

While you’re anxiously awaiting our big painting project room reveal I’m going to host a giveaway. You too can have a room makeover thanks to Glidden. When the the giveaway is over I will reveal the room make over and the winner of the giveaway. So stay tuned!
