Glidden Paint Review & A Giveaway

Red and Pink Paint Colors from Glidden

I write for Glidden® over at My Colortopia and I’ve been using their paint for a few projects around the house recently, so today I’m sharing my experiences with it. I’m also hosting a giveaway for a $100 gift card to Home Depot — details are at the end of the post!

So. First impressions with the paint? You don’t get a lot of that classic strong paint smell, since it’s a no-VOC formula (most brands have moved toward a low or no-VOC option these days). The consistency is good, average compared to other brands (not too thick, but not too thin either). There’s a nice range of options in the color palette, but not so many that it gets overwhelming for the average person. Sometimes I find myself wishing that they offered more subtleties in color, but I think I’m in the minority there. I go in thinking ‘show me all 796 shades of icy blue with a hint of gray’ and other people want to see the best three or four options for light blue and go from there. If you get confused when there are way too many versions of red, or blue, or whatever, you’ll probably like the smaller palette — there are still hundred of colors to choose from.

Red and Pink Paint Colors from Glidden

I went with Crisp Linen White for Calvin’s nursery. I wanted the light and bright feeling that white gives a room with plenty of natural daylight (which the nursery has), but nothing too stark because of our home’s unpainted trim and woodwork.

Second Floor Kitchen

Calvin's Nursery / Former Second Kitchen

We remodeled that part of the second floor to create the nursery, closing off openings, adding new ones, and moving the door. We also stripped wallpaper from the walls and cleaned up the residue, leaving clean, smooth walls that seemed to be in pretty good condition. Normally, if you’re painting a light color over another light color, you can get away without priming first. We did prime the new areas of drywall , but since we were painting over previously papered walls for the majority of the room, I thought it might be a good idea to use a primer everywhere else too. I picked up a gallon of Glidden® Premium Collection Interior House Paint (a paint and primer in one) and we were able to skip another separate step.

The paint gave great coverage, went on well, and has held up just fine. One coat covered nicely with lighter colors, but I’d count on two for dark or really bold paint jobs. And the best part is that it’s super affordable, so you can pick up a gallon for about $25 instead of $50 or $60 (or even $100, if you like a certain fancy European brand)! Here’s another project done in Glidden®, this time a deeper, darker color (Shaded Fern). The paint updated that old thrifted armoire perfectly.

Glidden® has enabled ratings and reviews for all of their products, so you can read other peoples’ experiences with their paint. If you’ve used it yourself, you can rate and review it too. And if you haven’t used it yet, well… I’m giving away a $100 gift card to Home Depot! That’s plenty to cover a gallon or two of Glidden®, plus any supplies you may need (and if you’re in need of tips and tricks, check out my posts for My Colortopia).

    I’m interested in giving my daughter’s room an update this fall, and would be interested in looking at paint options. I like more subtle colors, too, but think I can find a suitable option.

    Since our dog decided to lock himself in the bedroom and rip down the curtain rod (brackets and all) in his panic, I might use it as an excuse to move the curtain rods up where I want them. And if I’m patching and painting, might as well repaint the whole room, right? Oh how my mind likes to snowball projects to epic proportions.

    We just moved and being renters I can’t paint the walls. But I have a ton of old furniture that are calling out for some fresh paint! I love color, but as I have decorated a home longer I find I prefer white a lot to offset all the color that I like. The white you chose for the nursery looks great – a bright white.

    We only have a few rooms left in our house to paint… we have owned it for nearly 3 years now. But the one than needs paint the most is the family room with its DARK 70’s wood paneling everywhere! The room is huge and the paneling is real wood that I am sure will soak up the primer/ paint. It is going to take gallons and gallons to cover it!

    Inspired in part by you I painted the downstairs bathroom pink. It’s previously electric green state (the previous owners made some very bold color choices and we were in a hurry to paint every room downstairs before moving in) confused my eyes a bit and the pink is a little cooler than I wanted. I’ve been telling myself it would be crazy to repaint a bathroom one shade different but with a gift card that would cover the cost with money left over? I think it would be a justified project.

  53. Virginia (The Heartographer) Avatar

    I’m so jealous of all those built-ins! But I sympathize with the not-too-stark thing, because we have tons of original mid-century teak-stained wood trim in our 1947 home. I’m torn between painting it and leaving it, since it’s so dang hard to undo once you’ve done it—but I think we’ll see how the walls look once they’ve been painted. I’d love to win some freebies to really motivate me on this project, too! :)

    I try not to complain about things, but I must disagree with your review of Glidden! I always use Behr from Home Depot, but this summer I repainted my son’s room with the Blackhawks colors and since I had to buy a bunch of paint, I thought I try a less expensive option. Worst decision ever. It was like putting water on the walls and it required 2 gallons just to get a bit of coverage. I will never use Glidden again for any project.

    I spent hours (actually several years truth be told) selecting the color for the living room in our 1921 bungalow. We sold it two months ago. The first thing the new owners did was paint the living room!! How could anyone now like “Sweet Daphne” green? Now we are once again surrounded by paint “chips”. Aaarghhh!

    It looks nice – its always good to see reviews of paint, because I’ll admit i’m a bit of a paint snob, and very brand-loyal. I always buy SW super paint – Do you feel like it did as good of a job as the highest-quality paints? I always like that I can usually get away with just one coat of those paints, and with no primer.

    I’ve enjoyed following your blog after stumbling upon it a few months ago. We moved about 18 months ago and I’ve not been happy with the color we chose for the living room…maybe I’ll get to change it sooner than I expected!

    We have two very dark cave-like rooms downstairs that we still haven’t painted since we bought our house. Considering they both serve as offices, I’d love to finally make the rooms brighter with the help of some paint. A gift card would probably help motivate my husband to finally help. ;) Ha ha.

    Love the idea of paint with primer – the coverage looks great and the colors ring true. I love painting projects in the Fall once the heat has subsided…kitchen, butler’s pantry, bedroom and bath…a tall order, but the Glidden paint looks like it can make the job easier and with stellar results. Thanks.

    since buying our house last year, we’ve painted every room but the bathrooms (oof, so much cutting in…) and tried out several brands of paint in the different rooms–gliddon, behr, valspar, benjamin moore…and–hands down–our favorite is gliddon. we’ve been raving about it to our friends who are also tackling painting projects! it smooths out SO WELL, and the coverage is wonderful. we really, really, genuinely love it.

    I used Glidden paint + primer in one to paint my guest bedroom – I believe the color is America’s Cup Blue. I was amazed that it only took ONE coat, especially for such a dark color. The coverage is amazing and has totally made me a Glidden customer for life.

    I would LOVE to repaint our master bathroom – I ended up with a color that is way more blue than grey – and the contrast is AWFUL with our deep charcoal colored master bedroom walls.

    And, I adore the deep shade you painted the armoire – but then again, I am a huge fan of deep, dark, saturated color.
