***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…
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.
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!!!!!!!! I have a love hate relationship with painting and this machine would be AMAZING! My fav duet would have to be Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers- classic!
Kate says
DUET TO ME
Having trouble thinking of my “fav” but I am currently digging Kenny Chesney’s Duet With Dave Matthews, “I’m Alive.”
Laura C says
DUET TO ME!!!!
Kerry says
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.
Laura says
DUET TO ME!
I love all the duets from the movie “Walk the Line”
Meredith K A says
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!
Josh says
Duet to me!! For my money I would go with Bing Crosby and Davie Bowie.
Amber says
Duet to me…oh let’s see Debbie Reynolds & Gene Kelly – You Are My Lucky Star from Sing In The Rain. Another good one is No Air by Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown.

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.
Sara Jane Roupe says
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?
Ellen says
Duet to me!! So my favorite duet is Time Mcgraw and Faith Hill..It’s your love’ It is also our wedding song…
M Yasmin says
DUET TO ME
Tiffany says

catherine says
Duet to me!! I could definetely use this as my fiance and I are about to buy a house that needs a paint job in every room!! My favorite duet would be “unforgettable” with Nat King Cole and his daughter.
MelissaZ says
Duet to me! I’m currently loving any collaborations with Aventura.
Megan says

Abby D. says

Ginnie says
“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.
sarah says
Duet to me. Duets??? that’s a tough one…
Karen says
DUET TO ME
Ooh. I like this.
The best man-on-man duet is the powerhouse duo of Hall & Oates, of course. They make my dreams come true.
Heather says
Duet to me! Running dry on favorite famous duets…
Amy says
DUET TO ME!!
Jennifer C says
DUET TO ME
This would be awesome since our power waggoner broke halfway through painting our new house. Woe to the unpumped paint.
Leah says
DUET TO ME…
The duet that will never get old is Mariah Carey & Boys II Men “One Sweet Day” (even though that’s more than 2 people, I think it still counts!)
Jordan Lobban says
DUET TO ME!
I pretty much love the entire Frank Sinatra “duets” album–Frank & Natalie Cole, Frank & Tony Bennett, Frank & Bono….soo good!
Kimberly says
DUET TO ME!
My favorite duet is The Prayer by Josh Groban and Angie Stone.
hkm says
Duet to me! I happen to love Jay Z and Beyonce…The new Bonnie and Clyde.
Ashlee says
DUET TO ME – and who can resist some Hall & Oates?
Kristi Rediske says
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)
Robert in SF says
DUET TO ME
I am a fan of the Grease soundtrack, and the “You’re the One That I Want” duet with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
Jeremy says
DUET TO ME! Hmmm… duets… I can’t actually think of any. But I’m also the guy that thinks he knows the lyrics to a song, but really doesn’t. And even though I’ve heard a song on the radio 100 times, I still don’t know who sings it.
Meaghan says
DUET TO ME! The duet I’m loving right now is Jay-Z and Alicia Keys in Empire State of Mind.
Heather D. says
“DUET TO ME”
BROOKS & DUNN BABY!!!!
Sarah MC says
Duet to me! I think the best duet I’ve ever heard is basically every song on DJ BC’s Black and Blue Album, an incredible blend of Weezer’s Blue Album and Jay Z’s Black Album. “99 Problems” + “Buddy Holly” = amazing!
jodi says
DUET TO ME
Kid Rock & Sheryl Crowe
Stephanie L. says
DUET TO ME!
My favorite duet is Islands in the Stream by Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton. It never gets old!
Erin Zimmerman says
Duet to me! I am a big fan of Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman (best Phantom of the Opera duet of all time). I know I’m such a nerd. This paint duet thing looks awesome!
Steve H says
Duet to me…. My favorite duet, and probably most peaceful and relaxing, is from Léo Delibe’s opera “Lakmé”. “The Flower Duet” just is absolutely timeless! Thanks~
Colleen Schweitzer says
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!
Catherine says
duet to me
Ben says
Duet to me.
I can’t really think of any duets at the momment.

Duet to me…My favorite duet is when I can convince my husband to sing with me ;)
Carrie says
DUET TO ME!!
Ok, for some reason, the only duet that’s coming to mind is “Islands in the Stream” by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers :)
