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 know my city (portland) awesomely well, can cook without a book, and can almost bake without a recipe too.

    But let me tell you, I am design blind. We are just about to buy our first house and I am at a LOSS for how to decorate (nothing new) so this would be a blessing. BLESSING!!!

    GUIDE ME! I use a Thomas Brother’s Guide, Mapquest and sometime a GPS when I am searching for a location. I am always on-line downloading recipes and have more cook books than I need.

    This would be helpful to me for designing my dining room. I have been in my home for 8 years and have yet to design the area for fear of making expensive mistakes.

    GUIDE ME

    I use the internet for just about everything. I first map it out on MapQuest, then I will use my GPS or pull up directions on my iphone. I also use the internet about 80% of the time to find recipes, the other 20% I look in my cook books. I have found, however that there are always lots of interesting recipes online when I have a specific ingredient I want to use.

    ok so I pretty much need guidance in all of the areas mentioned haha but if I had to pick, I would say that I’m most in need of help when driving – me without a GPS is a very scary thing (last time I wound up 2 towns over and 2 hours late!).
