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 with lots of things, but the most recent task I needed help with was potty training my oldest son. He’s a wonderful, strong-willed child who wanted absolutely nothing to do with the potty (even if he was physically ready), but with lots of advice from friends, family, and internet experts, we made it through! Whew!

    I’m constantly on google maps trying to find my way to new places – I’ll look at alternate routes to find what I think is best, not what the computer thinks is best. I also like to look at many recipes for the same dish, then mix and match to make it my own!

    GUIDE ME! Please please – we’re getting ready to do a kitchen renovation, and I really need some help to make sure that the adjoining family room doesn’t get forgotten in the process. My normal go to, google, hasn’t turned up the answer yet to “what do I do when my fire place mantle and hearth are too big for the space”, or “how to make my fireplace and wood nook more size appropriate for the room”. Help!

    I have to say that except for cooking, I seem to rely on the internet for everything – looking up directions, reviews of things to purchase, hours of the library. I still like some human guidance when I’m making expensive decisions, but the internet and the reader reviews guide me most places!
