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!

    “Come What May” from Moulin Rouge is probably my favorite duet of all time. It makes me feel all mushy. :)

    “DUET TO ME” I like a less traditional musical coupling, like the hives and timbaland “throw it on me”

    DUET TO ME!

    I’m in a Michael Jackson mood, so I gotta say best Michael Duet “Scream” with his sister Janet Jackson. It’s hard to beat the vocals and don’t get me started on the dancing.

    Whoooooo Hooooo!

    I have dreamed of painting my kitchen but with two little guys running around the thought of open paint was daunting. This product has me rethinking.

    Best duet ever Shane Macgowan and Kirsty MacColl

    One of my fav paired up songs is Gweneth Paltrow & Huey Lewis in Crusin’…it is a perfect summer afternoon tune.

    DUET TO ME – – We need this! Talkin about a duet… the lathe and plaster is nearly all down in our circa 1900’s home. Thanksgiving is rounding the corner and we’ve got to get the dinning room in order before we host our very first Holiday dinner… as for the musical duet I believe you can’t go wrong with Simon and Garfunkel… but seriously I love me some Johnny Cash (and June) too. You always ask for answers that I have too many responses for ;)

    My favorite duet at the moment is with Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. I just love Lucky, it makes me swoon every time. Pretty much just like this paint toy! I have so many rooms in my house that are in need of a good painting. Even the ones that I have already painted are in need of a touch up!
