It goes without saying that we’re big fans of decorating and design help through the magic of the internet. So of course we’re psyched that one of you is gonna score some customized assistance from My Design Guide. They tap into a network of real interior designers to help you out with everything from quick fix mini-consults (which come free just by completing their StyleFinder quiz) to full blown 3-D renderings with paint color picks, furniture selections, and a shopping list (see a sample here). The latter of which our winner will be cashing in on this week. Woot.
- PRIZE: A 3D Custom Room Design from My Design Guide (a $229 value)

Stacy says

Without recipes I would not eat anything beyond pasta with butter and parmesan on it and scrambled eggs. Seriously that is all I ate in college. I think I kept the Barilla pasta company in business between 1996-2000.

When I really sit down and think about it, I get help for pretty much everything! I read reviews prior to making an important purchase, I need a GPS to help me find my way to places, and I always look up recipes on food.com if I am trying to make something new. Oh, and of course I google before taking on a project. Gosh, I feel so unadventurous!

Renae says
