I don't know how this happened, but I forgot about the quarterly Carnival hosted by Bloggy Giveaways! I purchased my prize last week but writing the post? Well, I am a tad late with THAT because I guess better late than never, huh?
So anywho, I decided to giveaway something a little different. It is SO much fun, at least I think it is. I own this and am addicted to using it.
Are any of you planning on renovating your home? Painting it? Landscaping your yard? Well, the Better Homes and Gardens Picture Painter software is a great place to get ideas. This program is awesome!
Visualize and paint in 3 easy steps. 1. Take a picture of the interior or exterior of your home. 2. Load the pictures onto your computer and mask the areas to change. 3. Choose colors, materials, and images on your own home before you paint or remodel!
The program incorporates popular manufacturers into the
materials, such as: Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, DuPont Corian, Armstrong, etc.The landscaping feature helps you choose from hundreds of plants. Plan how the outside of your home will look!
There are so many things you can do! If you are ready to get to work on your home but are not sure about colors or materials, this tool can be just the place to start.
Or, if you are like me, and like to dream about how your house COULD look, you might want this too, because it's SO.MUCH.FUN!

Cool. I thought about getting this. My husbands jokes that our house used to be several 100 feet larger before I started painting. I change colors a lot so this is a great idea for me.
OOOH We would love this!
I could definitely use this. Fun stuff!!
We're planning to repaint our house next summer, and this would come in very handy. Thanks for the chance to win.
I soooo need some landscaping ideas and help, and since my green thumb is actually wilted and black, a computer program sounds perfect!
This is a cool idea! This would come in handy!
I've been dying to get this!! I always have so many problems figuring out what I want to do with my house, lol.
Thanks!

I would love to win this. This is uch a cool program.
Ohh, I think I could waste a lot of time with this!
ohh, re-painting without actually picking up a brunch, I like this idea =) Please count me in and thanks for offering this giveaway =)
What a great giveaway! I have a rental property that I'd like to change the look of.
Fun!
That's really cool I have trouble visualizing how a color would actually look before painting.
would love it
Ooooohhh This sounds great.
This would come in so handy as we prepare to take on a bunch of house projects this fall.

My mom could really use this to help decorate their new home.
This looks wonderful. I've been wanting to landscape, but have no idea where to start.
Always best to try out colors in virtual reality before committing to them on your walls and asking your husband to repaint... 3 times.
Don't ask me how I know this. I'd love to be entered.

How cool! What a great prize!
Wow, my husband would love to play with this program. (I would too, but he more.)
I'd love to try this. I could use it for painting my house.
oh my gosh are you serious? how did i not know this existed? you just made me get all twitchy with excitement. that sounds gross, but it's just the rush of adrenaline that your post sent through my body! either that or the coffee i just drank kicked in. no, seriously, that is WAY COOL.
We need to do quite a bit of work to our house but I don't even know where to get started! I thought about painting the living room yellow like a friend did, but I'm afraid it won't look as good in our home and I'll regret it!
oh how cool... I would love to win this. Thanks
Will it work on a Mac? Because it looks super cool. I have a hard time visualizing what our house would look like with better landscaping. I'd love to test it out!
Oh! Mrs Schmitty, I could really have some fun with this prize! Cool beans!
This sounds like a lot of fun. I love color and am afraid to experiment on my walls, so they are plain old boring white!
Yeah! Count me in. I need to paint, but am so bad at picking colors.
What a fun program to help re-decorate! Thanks for the giveaway!
That looks awesome! I can see myself spending a lot of time playing around with that.

Thanks!

Wow this sounds like a lot fo fun!
This sounds like something that would suck me into it for hours.
This sounds so cool especially since I'm addicted to redecorating
This sounds like just what I need! Our house is slowly getting redone and yet I stare at the outside of my house and a few rooms and have no clue what I want. Great giveaway!
What a neat prize!
I'm going to TRY to subscribe to your feed (computer illiterate)because I do so enjoy reading about your brood.

Oh the fun I could have with that. Poor hubby's probably in for a new honey do list though, hehe.
This is a really neat idea. Thanks for the giveaway!
Can you add windows in the program or does it just paint. it looks pretty neat to change the colors of the house. might take me a while to get the hang of it if i won! p.s. you're not a moron, just a very busy person.

I would LOVE this!! We are currently house hunting and looks like we will get something that needs to be redone. I am sure hubby would appreciate me trying on paint thru a software instead of different stripes on the wall. lol. btw, i totally forgot about the giveaway too and i'm waaaayyyy down the list.
Ooh neat! a toy for me!
solta(at)hotmaildotcom
This is great! We could really use as we are recent first-time homeowners. This will help us immensely!
I would love to win this! I'm always changing and redecorating. We would like to sell our house and buy and older fixer-upper so this would really come in handy. Thanks! Make sure you stop by my blog and enter for a personalized Princess Bracelet made my yours truely.
That looks like a lot of fun!
Thank you for hosting this giveaway.
