MSNBC: Get the look: 'Great Gatsby' glamour

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

All that glitter and glamour inside your home is great, but it is the outside appearance that gets the first look and sticks in people's minds.

It is rather easy to achieve that 'Great Gatsby' look where it pertains to the outdoor area of your house; wooden decks can sparkle, patio furniture can reflect wealth and any other wooden elements will be the talk of the town when treated with the right, long-lasting Flood® Wood Care.

These exterior wood stains and wood cleaners protect and preserve, save you time, money and effort, because Flood® is the best solution for any wood care projects anyone will or may take on this summer! For 'Yours Truly' that would be our wooden storage building.

Due to outstanding performance and high quality, Flood® has earned their reputation as "The Wood Care Specialist" and has been recognized in the wood care industry for its reliability and is used by many loyal customers. That also explains why Flood® has been around since it was founded in 1841 by a family of painters.

Flood® is holding a national Take it Easy Sweepstakes. It began on May 15, 2012, and will end at 11:59 p.m. ET on July 15, 2012. Homeowners, who own a house with a wooden deck that is free of damage, need to enter, because they can end up winning that one awesome, available Grand Prize.
