***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Lately we’ve been doing lots of thinking about how to bring our dull front porch back to life for the BHG 48-Hour Challenge. We did a rough stain and seal job a couple years back, but its vibrancy was long gone and we knew there had to be a few more interesting options. Cue (with perfect timing) an e-mail from Olympic Paint reminding us about their great line of exterior stains. And, since we love sharing the love, we asked “how about giving away some exterior stain to some of our readers?” I think you can guess what their answer was…
Yup, we scored THREE gallons of Oympic Exterior Stain to give away to a trio of randomly selected readers. If you’ve got a deck or porch that needs a fresh face, they’ve got toners and semi-transparent stains a plenty. If you’re looking to inject some color into some outdoor furniture or fencing, they’ve got over 110 solid tones to pick from. And if you’re ready to update your cedar siding… well, you’ll probably need a few extra gallons for that project, but a free one will certainly get you started. And might we suggest one of these cool blue hues?
To enter to win, just comment on this post with the words “I’M A STAIN MASTER” by Wednesday, April 15th at 8pm EST. And if you haven’t quite mastered staining yet, why not tell us something you do consider yourself to be a master at. Gardening? Business administration? The Stair Master? Whatever it is, we’ll choose three random winners using random.org and announce them on Thursday. These prizes can be shipped to the US and Canada; please limit one entry per e-mail address. Good luck…

I’m a stain master, I’m much better at picking the color and letting the can sit in the shed for a few years before I actually get to the project. I’m a project procrastinator, but give me a free can and I just might stain the chairs I picked up at a garage sale for $2 and are sitting in the “graveyard” (a hidden spot in my yard that nobody knows about!) Nonetheless, I am a stainmaster!

I’ve got a deck that desperately needs to be touched up. I wouldn’t call myself a stain master, but I could be referred to as a stain-won’t-royally-screw-it-up-er.

Not really, but I have taken out our toilet to paint behind it, changed light fixtures, and painted stripes in the bedroom while my husband was deployed! I’m handier than he is! (I should note that although I took the toilet out myself, my neighbor had to come put it back in for me.)

We just bought a new house and the deck needs to be stained very badly! This is just another thing on our to do list but a very important one! I may not be a stain master (yet), but I am definitely a painting master after painting every wall, trim, and closet in our new house!

Like you guys, the wood on our porch has become washed out, so we’ve been debating painting v. staining; however, the great color options for this stain may have just solved our debate!
Thanks!

I’m not a master of anything, but we did paint the outside of our house entirely by ourselves over the last few weekends, and that makes me very happy.
We also are having a vow renewal in our back yard next weekend and I decided to put pictures from our 15 years together on some twine with clothespins- what a GREAT idea…glad I thought of it ;) Um, I mean, thanks Sherry!
