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!

    For some reason, I can only come up with Peaches and Herb singing Reunited. LOL Way back from my childhood. I’m aging myself, aren’t I?

    My favorite all time duet is Mary J Blige and U2 when they sang “One”…

    That Ryobi paint tool looks awesome. If I don’t win it, I sure hope Home Depot gets a few to rent out in their tool rental area!

    I love Say, Say, Say by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. They are literally my two favorite performers, so that duet is perfect!

    We are getting ready to paint all of the rooms in our entire house, so this would be wonderful!

    I love duets! I have to say it may not be a favorite, but the first one I ever remember loving was “A Whole New World” when I was little. I just wanted to be Princess Jasmine!

    “DUET TO ME” That machine looks like a great idea! And I gotta go with Sonny and Cher. I saw them in concert when I was 10 and my mom paid the guy at the side door 10 bucks to let me in for the last few songs. It was a really tiny room in a hotel in Miami Beach, so they were RIGHT THERE. Awesome.

    DUET TO ME

    This is my first post and I just wanted to say I LOVE your blog, it has been pure inspiration for my husband and I in renovating our 80 year old farmhouse.

    Now, for business! The two of us are going to submit a “he said, she said” entry: a sort of duet for the ‘duet to me’ contest. (is that allowed?)

    -He says: Under Pressure by David Bowie and Freddie Mercury because, “it’s epic!”

    -She says: Landlocked Blues by Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst and Emmylou Harris because, “emo rockstar + country legend= a hanutingly beautiful song.”

    Thanks for considering us and keep up the downright radical work!

    Gosh, there are too many to choose from. But I’m in a Christmas music mood, so I’m going to say John Denver and Robin the frog on “When the River Meets the Sea.” It’s been my very favorite song to play at Christmas-time since I was 4.

    My favorite duet is probably Guilty by Barbra and Barry Gibb and or You Don’t Bring me Flowers, also by Barbra, but with Neil Diamond! I didn’t realize I liked Barbra Streisand as a duet partner so much until I answered this! :)

    DUET TO ME! Hard to pick a favorite duet, but “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” sung by Frank Sinatra and Bono is fun. By the way, I recently found your site and am getting all kinds of inspiration. We’re buying our first house in a week! Keep up the good work.
