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.

    I definitely need help in the kitchen when it comes to cooking. It is a must for me to use a recipe! And my GPS has come in handy as well. We moved to a new state about a yr ago and I rarely get out of my local area. If I do then I have to have the GPS on.

    Chowhound for food when I travel! I spend weeks obsessively planning every detail of what I’ll eat when I go away…all 3 meals…plus snacks..and desserts…when I decide on a trip, I start working on a list…it’s usually around 60 restaurants for a 9 day trip…and then I have to work and re check and consult and do polls and surveys to narrow down the list..Don’t know what I would do without Chowhound…

    GUIDE ME! If it’s guidance I can find on my own using the Google Machine/books/maps/etc I’ll use it readily for anything (even if I already know what I’m doing!). If I have to actually vocally ask someone then I’d rather stumble around blind until I either figure it out or decide I don’t want/need/etc it anymore :)

    GUIDE ME! I am a school teacher and during the summer I love to add little touches made by me to my home. I need help with color selection in the living room. Curtains, Wall Color, Furniture, etc. I tend to be very crafty and love to do projects on my own, but I need help this time. I usually just go online and or look through Better Homes magazines to find the style I am looking for. I LOVE the shabby chic look with a modern twist. Help me please!
