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!

    Oh my goodness this would be so perfect for us. We’re closing very soon on a house with traffic signal yellow and red walls EVERYWHERE. It’s total insanity. I love, love, love to paint, but I’m going to need all the help I can get on this one.

    DUET TO ME!! I just repainted my bathroom (your blog was the inspiration I must say – I’m a newbie to the blog and it rocks the house) and this would have been a little jewel for me and the hubs. He rolls and I edge too. Ok, for the duet, maybe I’m a little out there with this one but I absoluetly love the duet on White Christmas when the Haynes sisters sing their number “Sisters”. Gotta love that movie.

    DUET TO ME!

    We have a huge painting project looming ahead (i.e. painting every room in our recently purchased fixer-upper home) and this would be awesome to try out.

    As far as favorite duets…that’s a tough one! I love me some Meatloaf and Whatshername – Paradise by the Dashboard Light, but Summer Nights with John Travolta and Olivia Newton John is always a good one.

    DUET TO ME! I love this bonus question! My husband and I met in our highschool show choir, (think Glee!) and the night we met was actually a party at a friends house where we all sang Grease with spoons as our microphones! To this day Summer Lovin’ will always bring back found memories of spoons and how we met. We even got a group together to “recreate” how we first met at our wedding… spoons and all!

    My favorite duet of all time is Ebony and Ivory by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney. I was in 5th or 6th grade and I remember comprehending the racial and piano references and it blew my mind.
    I also am moving to a new house soon and will need to paint Every room!
