A Giveaway: Painting Accoutrements a la HomeRight

May 24, 2011

The weather’s better and we’re all thinking about breaking out those paint brushes and going to town on the trim, walls, ceilings, etc. Right? One good thing about the spring, after all, is that you can leave the windows wide open to help ventilate the room while the paint dries. Who doesn’t love fresh air and a fresh coat of paint?

Meet HomeRight!

I’m happy to share that HomeRight is offering a PaintStick EZ Twist Kit to Merrypad readers (it retails at $59.00, whoop). And this time, there are three ways you can enter. Keep on reading for those details.

HomeRight PaintStick EZ Twist Kit – includes PaintStick, Quick Painter and Quick Mask.

What’s so cool about what they’re offering? This is one of those make-your-DIY-life-easier painting tools that draws paint straight from the can into the handle of the extended brush so that there’s a constant flow of paint to the roller or applicator, meaning your paint should apply more evenly than if you were having to return to the paint tray for a roller refill. You don’t even need a paint tray if you use this product. Using the standard roller, HomeRight says you can cover an area 8′ x 8′, which is actually pretty cool, and the smaller applicator is intended to be used for precision painting, like around all of that window and doorway trim in your house.

The claim that they offer (and worked to demonstrate in their videos) is that by using the EZ-twist product, you can paint a room in 1/3 the time as with a normal paint roller. Hmm.

Here’s what you have to do. There are three ways you can enter:

1. Comment on this post… just say anything and consider yourself included.

or

2. Tweet a message with hashtag #makinghomeright (ex. Win painting supplies from @merrypad! http://bit.ly/HRgiveaway #makinghomeright)

Pass it on! Tell your friends! WIN some free painting goodies.

The contest ends Thursday at 10PM, so make sure you enter prior to that time! The winner will be randomly selected using random.org and will be contacted via email/tweet/facebook depending on how the entry was received.

(P.S. I’ll host your giveaway too – email me to discuss!)
(P.P.S. I didn’t receive any cash or product in exchange for hosting this giveaway.)

    Hi! Boy, do I have things to share. 🎉 🫶 Fr Hi! Boy, do I have things to share. 🎉 

🫶 Friendly reminder to focus on balance and wellness: Pete and I lived abroad with our family for the entire month of August 2023. If you ever have the opportunity to work remotely, I promise it to be a worthwhile adventure that’ll change your POV in so many ways. And, If you need an in with an incredible AirBnB in Denmark, DM me. From new playgrounds and museums to the culture and design, making this trip a reality continues to be something we celebrate every day, and I wish everyone can experience it on some level.

💻 Friendly reminder to say yes to new (overwhelming) opportunities: The professional celebration happened upon our return. Last fall, I was approached to launch @homelivinghandbook, a new Pursuit channel for @mensjournal that highlights home improvement and DIY! It has been really fun to see it come to light, and truly one of the most exciting partnerships I’ve ever had. Timing couldn’t have been better, and I’m really happy to see how it grows over time. Please follow along — the team published 150 articles in two months, covering all kinds topics for home enthusiasts! So much more to come. #linkinbio #homelivinghandbook

✌️ the end, many thanks for your support!
