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 usually rely on all of the above if I need help. I’m not afraid to ask for it unless I’m in a stubborn mood, in which case I’ll do it myself until I’m either lost, in a bad relationship, or have wandered through Home Depot so long that my feet are killing me.

    GUIDE ME! PLEASE! Although I use a GPS, I always have a map as back-up. Have you ever followed your GPS lady’s instructions only to find yourself going in circles! Decorating is where I need help! I know what I like and love searching magazines and the Internet to find inspiration. However,I have a hard time pulling it all together into a cohesive idea so I definitely need guidance on the decorating front.

    GUIDE ME! Since I’m a libra I always have the hardest time making decisions on just about everything. But as of late I’ve asked for guidance from my sister and best friend regarding my 7 month old daughter. Since they were moms before me I bug them all of the time : )

    GUIDE ME!

    I always need guidance when figuring out health insurance, 401(k) and other benefits when I get new jobs. They are so confusing! Thankfully I have a financial planner to help me wade through the mountains of decisions.

    I also know nothing about household repairs so if I’m at the hardware store, you can guarantee I’m asking someone for their opinion on what to buy.

    I always need guidance when it comes to my daughter. :/ I’m a new mom (which I’m sure you can relate to) and I feel like I question every reaction she has to food, napping, sleeping (or not sleeping), nursing, sickness, fussiness…you name it. I am either googling or calling the doctor! OR…of course asking friends on facebook questions like..”did your little ones do this…?” That’s the easiest way to get 20 responses :)
