*** This contest is now closed – see who won below!***
And this week’s random winner is… Stacy (who says “when I was little, I got the local radio dj’s autograph and thought I was so cool! Looking back, it is just funny how silly it was!”). Congrats Stacy!
We love us some Candice Olson (and still pinch ourselves that our faces share a webpage with her over on BenjaminMoore.com). So we sweet talked our way into a little Benjamin Moore / Candice Olson prize for you guys – including a signed copy of her latest book, Candice Olson Bedrooms. So once you’ve torn yourself away from petting her signature (not that we’d do that, ok we totally would) and are ready to put that Olson-spiration to use, Benjamin Moore’s gonna lend a hand with two gallons of their Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, a $50 gift card, and your very own Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck. And if that’s not enough of a Candice fix for ya, you can enter to win a personal design consultation from her over on Benjamin Moore’s site.
- PRIZE: Two gallons of Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, $50 gift card, a Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck and signed copy of Candice Olson Bedrooms courtesy of Benjamin Moore.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MOORE ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what other autograph have you snagged? Did you get your favorite band to sign an album cover? Or receive a signed letter from a big name public figure? Maybe you got a big novelty check signed by Ed McMahon? Or just a sweet crayon-drawing signed by a niece or nephew?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Sept 12th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States & Canada (we couldn’t leave out Candice’s homeland!)
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Benjamin Moore.

MOORE ME!
I have several autographs from band members and authors, but the best autograph story belongs to my sister. She had made an autograph book out of one of those thick cardboard kid’s books and some duct tape. The duct tape was somehow connected to a Broadway show we saw (called [title of show] … yes, that’s the name).
Across the street from [title of show] was another play (I can’t remember which one, maybe “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum”?), and Whoopi Goldberg was in it. We waited for her to come out, and my sister thrust her duct tape autograph book and a Sharpie through the crowd to get Whoopi to sign it. Whoopi took the book in her hand, looked at it, shook her head, and signed the duct tape-covered page.

CONGRATS TO YOU STACY!!!! Hope all goes well with your fixer-upper & that you Love your MOORE paint. Don’t forget to read all the tips on proper prep work, especially using a Base 1 or low-base primer, so that all of your painting goes “smoothly”–hopefully with 1 topcoat. Let us know how you progress! Of course with all the help from Candice & YoungHouseLove, how could you go wrong? YHL’s book is coming out soon, so be sure to get it…I am sure it will be full of great ideas for your projects. Happy Painting to You!
