Staining Made Simple with Flood.com & Better Backyard Sweepstakes

This post brought to you by Flood® Wood Care. All opinions are 100% mine.

Happy Friday everyone! For our end of the week post, I think I’ll do a little post on Flood.com!

Flood has some great products available to help you make your staining projects a lot easier. The hardest part of an exterior staining project is often getting started — or even just knowing where to start. How should I prepare the wood surface? Which product has the benefits I need? How much will it take? What other supplies do I need?

In our new house, we have a front porch that definitely needs some TLC. It’s already awesome, but needs some paint stripping and wood staining done. The ceiling is wood that is painted, and the walls and pillars are wood that are also painted, but all the paint is cracked and needs to be stripped. I would LOVE to strip the paint and stain it all! I looked in Pinterest for some “Pinspiration” and found this picture (with no source), that looks just like our porch ceiling, except this is exactly what I would love for it to look like:

Same with the walls, but they all need the same treatment. If you look at the picture below of our house, you can see what I mean with the pillars. They show on the inside of the porch too, and are cracked because of the layers of paint on them. They need some stripping and staining asap!

Flood® Wood Care’s website has a Staining Made Simple guide, that is a great way to tell which prep and finish products your project needs. You only have to answer some questions about your project to help guide you in the direction of what types of products you should be using. At the end of the questionnaire you’ll land on a page that shows you everything you need to know! (Exactly which prep and finish products to buy, how much to buy, where to get it all, a supply list, how-to videos, printable application instructions).
