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!

    DUET TO ME. This maybe an offbeat duet, but I LOVE the Ray Lamontagne and Damien Rice “duet” of sorts to the Bee Gees “To Love Somebody” (doesn’t hurt that was our wedding song!). I get chills listening every time.

    DUET TO ME!

    I’ll be all boring and go with my favorite musical, Les Miserables. I love the duet between Marius and Eponine “A Little Fall of Rain” as Eponine dies in Marius’s arms. I’m a crier! Actually my fav song in the show is “One Day More,” but that’s not a duet.

    Cool prize! If I were to win this one, we might have to paint the 2nd bedroom, office, and hallway awhile instead of waiting for when I’m expecting, just because it would be so easy!

    Duet to me
    Right now I am loving the “The Chain” on Ingrid Michaelson – but I guess that isn’t a real duet more like a round.

    So my second choice would have the be “Don’t Know Much” by Linda Ronstadt & Aaron Neville.

    Duet to me!!

    My favorite duet is a three-way tie. There’s the duet of my formative years when I was hooked on Reba McEntire “Does He Love You?” with Linda Davis and then there’s the always toe tapping “Easy Lover” by Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey and then there’s the almost too bromantic “All for One” with Sting, Rod Stewart and Bryan Adams. Maybe that one counts as a trio?

    “Duet to me!”

    We are in the process of finishing our basement (see some of our pictures at http://ginifred.blogspot.com/search/label/finishing%20basement). We are just finishing up the mudding and sanding of the sheetrock, and are ready to start priming and painting. This painting system would be a Godsend! We have 1800 sq ft of floor space down there consisting of 6 rooms to paint – no clue what that converts to in wall square footage…

    You mentioned old school Sonny and Cher. Of course the song that comes to mind is “I Got You Babe”. Funny enough, my husband and I randomly break into song, and this seems to be the most popular selection.

    Duet to Me! Well its a hard thing to pick-just one favorite duet-I think the first thing that came to mind was Donnie and Marie-I always thought they were fun to watch and I loved the variety show they had-I miss variety shows. I sure could use the sprayer-we are working on painting the entire interior of a home-and we aren’t young folk-HA! (I guess you could figure that out with our duet pic)

    DUET TO ME! My parents played the Frank Sinatra Duets album all the time when I was a child. I always loved Frank Sinatra and Natalie Cole singing “They Can’t Take That Away from Me”. The album would be on while they were making dinner and they would dance around the kitchen. It’s one of those priceless childhoold moments that makes me smile!
