***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 can’t possibly pick a favorite duet. There’s so many wonderful ones.
Kim says
DUET TO ME
Let me say that I LOVE this thread–so many songs to look up in itunes now!
I’m thinking mine would be King of the Road, the Rufus Wainwright/Teddy Thompson version. Both great voices. Or else Persuasion, with Teddy Thompson with his dad Richard Thompson.
Pat says
Duet Me!! We are painting our whole house . . . could really use this!

becca says
DUET TO ME!
for real, my husband and i do enjoy painting together. i could see how this would be a lot of fun (and possibly get us in trouble – paint war, anyone?)…
on my favorite duets? it might seem lame, but michael and janet jackson’s “scream” gets me every time. especially getting to see the video and dancing. love it.
Madelaine says
DUET TO ME!
Could use this now as the living room painting began last night. Continues today and Wednesday as well.
Not sure about the duet, but I too like the cross overs.
Rebecca says
DUET TO ME
I’m currently in love with the Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews duet…
Rebecca says
Duet to me! I can’t lie…I don’t even know who sings it but the duet from Beauty and The Beast is totally my favorite.
Amber says
DUET TO ME!
John Travolta and Oliva Newton John “Summer Lovin.” It’s a classic…what can I say?
Melissa S says
DUET TO ME!!
Oh man I love all the old musicals…I couldn’t even PICK a favorite duet. :)
Alison says
DUET TO ME … please?
we have 2800 sqft of house to paint (I don’t even want to think about how much wall space that is!!) and we only have two rooms down. eeeee! This would be amazing and make our lives so much happier.
Fav musical duet… HAS to be Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth in Wicked. Love them together and separately, but especially together!!!
Kelly says
DUET TO ME
Since it’s nearing the season, how about Baby It’s Cold Outside?
Lauren says
DUET TO ME!!!!! please please!
favorite duet is definitely from the musical wicked when they sing “as long as your mine”. I heart musicals, and devices to help paint rooms :)
SFDC says
DUET TO ME! Gotta say Simon & Garfunkel.
Kathy says
Duet to me!! This will totally come in handy for the remaining paint projects my BF and I have on our 1960’s house (inside and out!). Only we swap – he edges and I roll!
My fave duet is when my mom and grandma used to sing together in church. :)
Julie says
DUET TO ME
I’m the “cutter inner” too – definitely the tougher (longer) job!
lindsey says
DUET TO ME!
Favorite Duet? You’re the One that I want with Olivia Newton John and John Travolta from Grease!
Amy Kelly says
DUET TO ME!
I adore She + Him!
Megan Kilgallen says
DUET TO ME!
My wedding song is a duet – Jon Bon Jovi and a female vocalist not famous enough for anyone to know – “Seat Next to You.”
Newbie in MA says
“DUET TO ME”
fave duet would be Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush!
foggogs says
Duet to me! I have been thinking about painting my old dark 70s wood cabinets and this would make the job a lot easier(and would allow my husband to help) – possibly using the sprayer? My favorite duet is Gwenyth Paltrow and Huey Lewis – Cruisin or I also like Michael Buble and Nelly Furtado- cuando cuando cuando!
Kristy says
DUET TO ME! I always end up painting on a whim, and my husband gets aggravated when he’s roped into cutting in– I’m too short to do it myself!
Favorite duet…. Bert and Ernie! :)
Kim says
DUET TO ME!!
As for a favorite duet, I love the Natalie Cole version of “Unforgettable” where it’s dubbed in with Nat King Cole. I know it’s not a real live duet, but I still think it’s pretty cool.
Erin R says
DUET TO ME!
I recently saw Elton John and Billy Joel together. I have been to hundreds of shows, and this was the best one!
Wehaf says

One of the best has to be . . . This mess were in with Thom Yorke and PJ Harvey.
Wendy says
DUET TO ME!
Hands down, best duet of all time? “Islands in the Stream” by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.
Second best? “Say, Say, Say” by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney.
How’s that for an eclectic mix?
tracey r. says
DUET TO ME!!!
I am totally jonesing for this prize!! My husband and I have the same system as you do, and we are certainly at odds about which job is ‘harder’.
Hmmm…can’t think of a favorite duet off the top of my head. How about Chris Farley and Adam Sandler singing the lunch lady song on SNL. :-) ….Sloppy Joe, a slop, a sloppy joe!!! ;-)
Julie M says
Duet to me!! : )I’ve just bought a house that needs new paint! This would be so helpful!!
Andrew Odom says
DUET TO ME
While certainly not carrying the odd nostalgia of a David Bowie duet (Bowie and Jagger, Bowie and Crosby, Bowie and Johannson), the vocal prowess of a Josh Groban number (Groban and Church, Groban and Streisand, Groban and Furtado) nor even the “I’m a real singer” validity of duets from the likes of George Michael and Aretha Franklin, I think the best duet (and when I say best I mean most absurd, most original, most incredible, most likely to be played over and over) I cast my vote for:
Eminem and Elton John!
Yes, who doesn’t remember the much talked about (and rumor dispelling) performance of ‘Stan’ for the Grammy awards?
Amanda H. says
DUET TO ME! Hmm… I gotta say Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong. There’s just nothing like the classic stuff. My husband and I were very tempted to play “Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off” as a joke for the last song at our wedding reception!
Samantha says
Duet to me!
Jen says
Duet to me!
I’m in love with the idea of not having to reapply paint and would listen to anyone singing a duet for a prize like this! :)
Thanks!
KCrawford says
Duet to me…Jesse McCartney featuring T-Pain
Marjorie says
DUET TO ME
Angie says
DUET TO ME!
Up Where We Belong Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes
I know it’s like the cheesiest song ever but just reading the title of the song gets it stuck in your head. So for that reason alone I’ll list it as my fave.
Kim says
DUET TO ME!
Dianne says
needit! Duet to me!
I liked that duet with Chris Brown and Jordan Sparks…but that was before the whole abuse issue with Rihanna. And i’m bummed cause it’s a cool song…
Amy Weatherly says
DUET TO ME!!!!!!
Lorrie says
DUET TO ME!!!
I would have to say it is “I Finally Found Someone” by Bryan Adams and Barbara Streisand. A close second would be “It’s Your Love” by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
Eryn says
Duet to me. Please please!! I need this. :)
