Save Your Outdoor Wood Surfaces with @ThompsonsWSeal {#giveaway}

This post is part of Endless Summer at Artsy Chaos, happening only during September!

Wouldn't we all like to keep our outdoor wood surfaces in summer ready appearances all year round?  Certainly!  I mean, unless you're a fan of the old, faded, peeling grey look in your decks and wood fences.  We want people to drive by, stop by and walk by with a "wow" on their face at our gorgeous outdoor wood.  Who wouldn't? Ok, we're not that vain but we really do want to protect our wood and make it look great at the same time.




This is where Thompson's WaterSeal enters the picture to provide homeowners with "deck protection" from water damage.  We certainly don't want water damage.  We want Thompson's WaterSeal. And since Thompson's has been protecting the world's treasures since 1929, like the Parthenon, they certainly are trusted with our outdoor wood fixtures. Lucky for us, Thompson's let us try out their Oxy Foaming Action Exterior Multi-Surface Cleaner and Waterproofer in Sheer Natural Cedar.


**Please click 'read more' if you're reading from the main page to continue reading and enter the giveaway!



Our yard has a mixture of fence with one large section of wood which has never been protected. We chose to use the waterproofer on the wood fence instead of a deck, but the concept/principles are the same. Here are some before pictures:




We were surprised at the thick consistency of the WaterSeal with the tint and the vibrancy of the color. It is such a change from the bare wood we're afraid it might be too bright.  What do you think?  Here are the great after pictures:




We were also thrilled to try the Oxy outdoor cleaner which can be used on a multitude of outdoor surfaces like wood, masonry, concrete, composite, brick, stucco, and outdoor furniture. It works fabulously to clean up and make your outdoor surfaces look almost new! I love that it can be used on outdoor furniture which gets so dirty when it rains. It can even be used on some outdoor fabrics.


Key Features of the Oxy Cleaner:

  • Oxygenated Foaming Action
  • Removes Stains From Dirt, Mildew, Algae and Fungus
  • Non-Bleach, Chlorine-Free Concentrate
  • Gentler* Biodegradable Cleaner
*Compared to a Chlorine Bleach Based Formula.

You can find Thompson's at many retailers nationwide and get valuable information and resources at their website http://www.thompsonswaterseal.com/.  You can also enter here at Artsy Chaos for a case of cleaner and a case of waterproofer (Approx. Retail Value $140!! your choice of color or clear) so you, too, can have summery outdoor wood surfaces year-round!! Enter using the Rafflecopter form below.

Endo Review and Giveaway!

We're so excited to introduce you to Endo ! Endo is here for all your outdoor t-shirt needs with incredible graphic designs to wear.  Cyclist?  Camper?  They're here for us all.  Seriously, what's better than a bright yellow tee with a huge tricycle on it?  Yes, a huge yellow real tricycle would be nice but hey, you couldn't wear that and it would undoubtedly be much harder to come by! We were happy to discover that the Endo t-shirt is longer than some which is definitely a bonus.  You know, no risk of the bad "low rise jeans - shorter tee - don't bend over or sit" dilemma.  It's also pretty dang soft and comfy. In addition to this great t-shirt, Endo also sent their logo tote bag.  These kind of backpack tote bags, or "man bags" as all the local teens call them (because all the boys in junior high have them!) are perfect for a light backpack to carry a water bottle, camera, cell phone, snacks, etc., for an impromptu hike, nature walk

Sit-upon Tutorial By Rachel Beyer

As a former Girl Scout, I have lots of fun camp memories. I remember learning to tie knots, set up camp and to cook over the campfire. An essential Girl Scout tradition is making a sit-upon. A sit-upon is a homemade waterproof cushion. They are easy to make and I remember using them every time we did any activity while sitting on the bare ground, which most often was damp or scattered with uncomfortable sticks and pebbles. A sit-upon is great for sitting around the campfire, your backyard, or even a sporting event.  There are lots of ways to make a sit-upon. When I was a Brownie Girl Scout, we made ours from old vinyl tablecloths and foam. But in a pinch, you can use a plastic garbage bag and a stack of old newspapers for padding. To revisit this simple craft project, I decided to use a roll of vintage vinyl wallpaper I found at a thrift store and some foam I bought at my local craft store.
