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 always need help deciding what kind of computer things to buy/do – apps, for one confuse me to no end. Good thing my husband has LOTS of opinions.

    GUIDE ME!

    I need guidance for everything – navigation, how to work the tv, etc. I really need some guidance on what to do with my formal living room which is part of one big space that includes my dining room and family room. How the heck am I supposed to make it look like there aren’t two living rooms in the exact same space? Hoping I win this one . . . LOL.

    GUIDE ME!

    we just moved into our first home and i’m so clueless about so much — do we need to paint our living room? what color? should we replace the rug? what accessories do i need?
    i seem to know what i like when i see things in other people’s homes, but i’m a disaster when i try to recreate things.

    GUIDE ME!!! My family always makes fun of me…I can’t visualize ANYTHING. I always have to see it in person, so whether it comes down to how a dress will look on a person to what color I should paint a room….I usually have to wing it or ask for help. Sad, I know…but true!
