Show Your Colors with My Colortopia

One of the most inspiring things about running a blog is that you have an online record of your room or project Befores and Afters.  On days (and even weeks) that I’m feeling like nothing is getting accomplished, I like to look at the thumbnails in my Project Gallery.  Those little squares make me feel so happy, and I feel like they are proof that I have really gotten a lot done over the years.

Similarly, I think most of you guys like Before and After posts, too.  There’s something encouraging about seeing a dramatic change in an entire room or just a piece of furniture.

For the past couple of months, those of us in the My Colortopia Team have been focusing on Before and After posts on Glidden’s My Colortopia blog.  But now, it’s not just bloggers who can get in on the action.  My Colortopia has recently launched a Show Your Colors section that features photos submitted by readers.  These Before and After photos celebrate readers’ paint projects and serve as inspiration for others.  If you see someone’s project that you really like, you can even find the Glidden paint colors to match any photo in the gallery.

There are some really great projects over there! Did you see my friend Michelle’s striped foyer in the widget above? She and I have a little surprise for you coming up soon!

I know you’ve seen my projects, but I want to be able to hop on to MyColortopia and see YOUR projects, too!  You don’t need to be a blogger to participate.  All you need to do is visit the Show Your Colors section of My Colortopia and submit your photos.  After you upload them, you can write a little blurb about your room if you want to.

To get you started, here are a few of my transformations:

  • A New Life for an Old Piece of Furniture
  • A Vibrant Room for a Vibrant Boy
  • A Dramatically Different Powder Room

If you upload some photos to My Colortopia, let me know below in the comments so I can go and check them out!

I have been sponsored by Glidden® brand paint to write this post but the thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

    Amazing you have made this bathroom. I like the renovation which you have done with your bathroom. Really amazing it is. The blue color on walls with design is awesome. Bathroom sink with black and white combination makes this bathroom more beautiful. :). I’m glad to see this post. Have a great day 🙂 🙂
