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.

    :) Our walkway to the basement has tricky ceilings that are hard to reach so we can experiment w/ the sprayer & tell you all about it!

    Duet to me! I know you asked for one duet, but I can’t pick just one – I have to do a top 5. The favourite of the moment depends too much on the mood.

    I could say Bryan Adams and Tina Turner’s “It’s Only Love,” which is classic and always gets me singing along loud enough that drivers 2 lanes over can hear me…with the windows up.

    “Don’t Give Up” by Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel is just brilliant, and always turns things around if it comes on when I’m blue.

    “Under Pressure”…well, between Bowie and Freddie, I don’t think I need to say much.

    “The House of the Rising Sun” by Joe & Eddie. It’s a great Sunday morning song (along with the rest of The Best of Joe & Eddie, frankly).

    “Crazy Love” – Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. Because with Van alone it’s a brilliant song, and adding Dylan…it’s pure genius. Also, this was in my mix a few times when I was painting my guest room on the weekend…so it seemed appropriate.

    DUET TO ME

    Favorite duet: “The Prayer” by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli
    It was sung in our wedding. Bocelli’s latin verses give me goosebumps–it’s so romantic and so meaningful

    I love the Peter Cetera and Cher duet “After all” the theme song to a classic Robert Downey Jr./ Cybill Shepard movie.

    DUET TO ME!

    I’m partial to Rihanna and Jay-Z’s verison of Umbrella; it will always have a place in my heart b/c we had Umbrella as our recessional at our wedding, and didn’t specify which version. When we turned around after being annuounced as husband and wife, Jay-Z greeted us with the “YEAH! UH HUH, UH HUH!” intro to the song. We looked at each other, surprised, and went with it :)

    DUET TO ME! My hubby and I have the same jobs as you do when it comes to painting.

    Oddly the first duet that came to mind is Kid Rock and Sheryl Crowe when they sang that picture song, you know the one “I found your picture today…” This song sticks in my head for days every time I hear it. “Sat down and cried today…” See it’s stuck again. ;)

    This would be perfect for us! I also cut in and my husband rolls. :-) We just found out that we will be moving to Florida in 2010 and need to put our home on the market…i.e. we have a few rooms to paint! Even if we don’t win, I’m going to pick one of these up. Perfect timing!

    “DUET TO ME”

    Oh My…I could use this for a month nonstop! I love painting and any ‘gadget’ that makes it easier and more fun, is a Gem to me.

    My favorite duet….Josh Groban – For Always (Duet With Lara Fabian)
