***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 don’t think I have a favorite duet. But I have a tendency to rock out/sing while painting. And if I win, it might turn into a duet.
Kate says
We just bought a house, so finally my husband can DUET IT ME without worrying where we’d put a baby! YAY!
We have several looming paint projects that I’m excited about–a nice chocolate brown in the library (a la Making it Lovely), an oyster gray in the master bedroom, and a deep dark purple in the living room.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis doing Cruisin’ together was alternately excellent and painful.

OMG! This thing looks AMAZING! If only it would tape off the trim, too….
And for my favorite “musical duet”…since I read this wrong initially and thought, “WICKED!” and realized you didn’t want me to spout my adoration for a broadway musical I decided I’d share anyway since it’s a funny (to me) story…and a total read fail and who doesn’t love that?!

We are overhauling our new home, and so far have painted two rooms and tiled another… with 7 rooms left to paint as well as one staircase/hallway. Plus, we already have a ton of the Ryobi tools. This is one freebie I am VERY hopeful for!!
As for my all-time favorite duet? Probably the Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. Although I have many close seconds.
