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.
- 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.
Mika Anna says
Guide Me!
I’m useless at most things without the guidance of Google. I seriously don’t know how I survived without the useful (and sometimes REALLY wrong) information on the good ole dubya dubya dubya.
But yeah, mostly with cooking. Famous last words at the dinner table – “This one got four and a half stars, so it has to be good, right? Right?!”

Guide me!!! The house needs help.

I need help with directions, recipes, directions, decorating, directions, fashion, directions… did I mention directions? (I once got lost on my way to my high school. While I attended said high school. That’s embarrassing.)
Amanda says
Guide me – we just moved into a new-to-us house and the family room is driving me crazy!!! I seriously need help! I do not like GPS systems – prefer the old-fashioned map, mostly because I like to think it through in my head and the GPS and I often do not agree! I do use online recipes, though, and even thought of getting rid of my cookbooks because I use it so much!
Wendy says
Guide me! My bedroom is all white and I need someone to help me add some color in there.

joyjoy says
GUIDE ME! I’m have pretty much ZERO sense of direction, and I can’t remember street names for the life of me (I can, however, remember how things look, and spent most of my life getting around by remembering to “turn after the Shell station”, etc). To this day, I can’t give anyone directions to the house I grew up in! :-/ My GPS is my lifesaver.

Amy says
GUIDE ME!!!
Well, I seek advise wherever the wisdom resides. Having a smart phone makes seeking help on the go so very wonderful. Directions? Check. Phone numbers? Check. Menus? Check? Recipes? Yeppers. You get it.
