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 need guidance in final design decisions because I tend to have ADDD – Attention Deficit Design Disorder. I decide on painting the wall blue and in the paint store, decide that a grayish tone may be better so I have to go back with the paint chip to see it in the room, then I go back to the store and decide a warmer beige tone would be better – rinse and repeat again and again.

    I use my iPhone google maps app. It tells me where I am, for those many times I need reminding. Thanks!

    The advent of the internet has left me completely and utterly lost. I can’t do anything without first consulting my guru, the Google. From recipes, to directions, to decorating advice (hence me visiting your blog) I am always asking, seeking, and key-wording, advice from the elders of the internet.

    P.S. Thanks for the giveaway.

    At the moment, I am in great need of guidance when it comes to my backyard…we just had 5 dead trees removed and I am left with a quarter acre of ivy (it covers the yard and is what killed the trees), covered in piles of dirt (which is now mud thanks to the weekend rain), mounds of wood chips, and 5 holes. Now what?!?!

    I use allrecipes (pretty much exclusively) for recipe assistance, and my nav system for getting to where I need to go. However, decorating – no amount of looking at pictures is going to help me decide what to do with *my* space. It’s hopeless…or at least it feels that way. :)
