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

| By John Petersik | November 9, 2009 | 2,131 Comments

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!

    First fav duet that came to mind (not copping out on this one either, it’s for real!) is Cruisin’ by Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow from the “Duets” movie! <3

    DUET TO ME

    For some reason the Miss Piggy and Elton John’s D’on’t Go Breakin My Heart” song came to mind. I know, I don’t know why either. Maybe because my sister and I used to sing it. So that would be my favorite circa 1990.

    DUET TO ME!

    I am sorry, but most duets are super strong on the cheese factor! So, I guess my fav duets are those that make fun (and are usually inappropriate). Such as a particular SNL fav with Justing Timberlake and Andy Samberg. It involves a box and a paticular body part.

    Jacky Cheung and Regine Velasquez’s “I’m in Love With You” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RvQ7UgnJUE&feature=related). This song was a huge hit in Asia in the 90s…and I still love it.
