Thanks to random.org, our four winners are… Kathryn (curious how long the paint will keep in an apartment), Kristen: Turning A House Into A Home (wondering whether to dust or vacuum first), Alisa Decatur (hoping to solve her daughter’s summer procrastination) and Kassie (eager to know how much painting she’ll face when she buys a house). Congratulations to all four winners!
Ready to roll up your sleeves? This giveaway was built for people who want to refresh a room, tackle a DIY project, or finally finish that painting to-do list. The grand prize combined product with practical supplies so winners could start painting right away.
The centerpiece of the prize was a $60 coupon toward Olympic ONE paint. Olympic ONE is a paint-and-primer-in-one designed to cover stains, resist mildew, and stand up to scrubbing — ideal for busy homes and high-traffic rooms. At around $25 per can, a $60 coupon would typically cover at least two cans, giving winners enough material for several coats or multiple small rooms.
We also teamed up with StackExchange to include a thoughtfully chosen set of painting supplies. From reliable rollers to precision brushes and quality masking tape, the kit was assembled with real painting needs in mind. Practical extras like a canvas drop cloth, an extendable roller frame, spare rollers, and three rolls of Frog Tape make prepping and finishing a room much easier. A short-handled brush for cutting in gives better control around trim and corners, so you don’t need to improvise with whatever’s on hand.
If you ever need guidance beyond the supplies, StackExchange’s community-driven Q&A sites are a great resource. Their DIY channel features experienced contributors answering everyday painting and home improvement questions — everything from understanding low-VOC paint to tips for painting textured ceilings. Those communities are full of helpful, practical advice when you’re planning a project or troubleshooting a tricky surface.
