Fab Freebie: Guiding Site

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Thanks to random.org, our winner is… Kari (who gets lost even with the help of GPS). Congrats Kari!

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.

MyDesignGuide Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A 3D Custom Room Design from My Design Guide (a $229 value)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GUIDE ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about when you need guidance. Do you rely on maps or navigation systems to get you where you’re going? Recipe sites and books for cooking help? Friend and family input when it comes to relationship advice? Or pro assistance at the home improvement store?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 15th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere they have the internet! Yup, this one’s global, baby.
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just like rewarding our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from My Design Guide.

    GUIDE ME! I can almost always use cooking help! I’m in awe of those “oh just taste it and see what you need to add” cooks…I need a recipe with ingredients and measurements!

    GUIDE ME! I am definitely one that needs a GPS no matter where I go…I’m not so good with directions. Also, I always ask for advice from my parents when it comes to relationships or big decisions. Even if we don’t agree I appreciate their input and would at least like to consider their opinion as I love and respect them.

    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!
