Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: Duet To It

Fab Freebie: Duet To It

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

Sherry and I have a system when we paint a room. She edges (aka: cuts in) and I roll. We both claim to have the more difficult job- and sometimes I think we’re both right (hello painting brick?), but this week’s prize could prove us both wrong…

Ryobi Couple Painting

The RYOBI Duet Power Paint System is specially made for two people who, like us, enjoy tackling a paint job together. We haven’t taken one for a spin yet, but the idea that both of us could have fresh paint pumped straight from the can to separate his-and-hers painting attachments (a roller for me, an edger for Sherry) almost makes us want to break out our paint swatches again. Heck, there’s even a sprayer attachment if someone’s feeling particularly daring.

Ryobi Duet Paint System

But since we don’t have any looming paint projects to tackle, we want one lucky winner (and their handy painting assistant) to try this puppy on for size. Here’s how to enter:

  • PRIZE: The RYOBI Duet Power Paint System (valued at $116)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “DUET TO ME” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …tell us your favorite musical duet of all time. Are you all about some old-school Sonny and Cher? Or does the more recent Madonna and Justin Timberlake collaboration rock your world?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, November 11th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anyone in the lower forty-eight US states
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

**Psst- Want more free stuff? One lucky local can snag two coveted tickets to R. Home For The Holidays where guest speaker Eddie Ross will be chatting about seasonal decor by swinging over to our Facebook page and submitting your entry. We wouldn’t miss it for the world!

    I’m going to go with something a little obscure but it was the first thing that came to mind: François Couperin’s “Trois leçons de ténèbres”. There are some of the most beautiful duets in that piece!

    Would love to win this giveaway! We built a new construction home so all the walls are beige. I NEED color on these walls. Having a new gadget might entice my husband to actually help me paint! :) Thanks for the chance to win!

    My favorite duet is from the movie, “Across the Universe”… I love Jim Sturgess and Evan Rachel Wood bringing a new sound to some classic Beatles songs. Very cool!

    I also have to say that the Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole “Unforgettable” is my favorite. Gives me chills every time I hear it.

    I would love to give this painting tool a whirl! We have done all the painting on our first floor and are moving on to finish the upstairs. I think something like this might be just the motivation we need to move forward!!

    Favorite duo is the Flight of the Conchords, they’re from New Zealand and have had 2 seasons of their own show on HBO if you may have caught them there. Saw them at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta — hilarious comedy/songs! Check out their stuff, you’ll laugh for hours!
