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!! When I think about it, I seek guidance for a lot of things.. all the time at work, driving at night when I’m too lazy to put my contacts/glasses in and can’t see street signs, cooking is definitely a weakness, and of course being creative with decorating–especially with our new home that we just purchased and moved into 3 days ago!!!! :D

    “GUIDE ME”

    Definitely start with the internet for quick answers but always ask advice from friends or family with experience and any professionals on hand (at a store or such)… the course taken is generally somewhere in the middle of instinct and direction.

    GUIDE ME! I’m bound and determined to get some pros in to reno my condo bathroom this year, but I’m the one making the design choices, and I’m see-sawing between something light and fairly simple (since it’s a small master) — white subway tile; textured wallpaper or pale paint, etc. — OR some splashy, graphic, modern wallpaper, something possibly Moroccan, along with tuquoise subway tile. So: simple and safe? Or splashy and expensive? Oh, and did I mention the floor tile is terra-cotta? I feel myself gravitating toward the play-if-safe mode, partly so I don’t scare away prospective buyers years from now. Sigh.
