Fab Freebie: Stain Master

***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…

    (Well, not actually, but I need stain for my deck.)

    I’m a master at pie making. Sewing. Knitting. Typing. Lounging. Making excuses.

    I’m a stain master for sure! We just bought a 90 year old house and let me tell you–we are doing projects GALORE! Our 3 porches are currently being scrutinized and we are hoping to repaint them soon!

    I’m a stain master! Our city is doing inspections this summer, and we really need to re-do the trimwork on the outside of our house, and I don’t like the color that the previous owners used, so I need to pick a new one.

    I’M A STAIN MASTER! I actually love staining wood. We’ve been doing projects around the house and we love the natural look, so we stain a lot! I like darker tones mostly. Yay for giveaways!

    I’m a stain master!!! And while I’m actually pretty good at staining things (like, you know, white blouses and khaki pants), I’m REALLY good at being an Internal Auditor! THAT I actually know how to do!

    Not exactly, but I can learn! I’m moving to a new place with both front and back porches, so some outdoor furniture (plus beautiful stain) would do wonders for our outdoor experience!

    “I’M A STAIN MASTER!!” Yay! For shipping to Canada. We’ll have a fence to stain this summer…. and we just picked up a set of coffee tables that need a facelift before they can play nice with the sofas!

    I’m a Stain Master! So far, actually a home improvement rookie, but I have the whole summer off and big plans to put in a deck by myself as well as tile the kitchen and re-do the floor! Wish me luck that hopefully I’ll be a master at the end!

    I’m a Stain Master! Actually, my husband and I are trying to get our creative juices flowing and turn our boring backyard into a place of beauty and comfort. A great starting place would be to change the look of our existing deck.

    (By the way, I just found your website last week and can’t get enough. We have just moved into our home and have a blank slate to work with. I am trying my best to turn this house into a fabulous home. Your inspiration has kept me up late at night brainstorming on new and exciting things I could try. I’m spreading the word about you guys. You amaze me. Thank you for sharing your journey!! You are creative, clever and cute!)

    What a great giveaway! And great timing. Just got a new deck and front porch about 6 months ago and they both need to be stained/sealed.

    Actually, I suck at staining, but I’m pretty darn good at painting. I’ve got a front porch though that desperately needs some love.
