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 need guidance on updating my house. I need help with any room & every room ! : ) I totally rely on maps to get where I am going. I follow recipes more than I just shoot from the hip. When it comes to relationship advice I always ask for input from my friends and family. I have no idea about home improvement but am in need of updating !!

    Guide me! Cooking is not my area of expertise- I’ve always avoided it by eating out but now I need recipes and cookbooks galore in order to feed my family! I’m a stickler for measurements and exact ingredients, I can’t deviate from a recipe if my life depended on it.

    I need much guidance when it comes to doing anything in the home. I tackled crown molding with guidance from a neighbor and the internet last fall and it turned out better than I ever expected! Blogs, such as your own, have been great for people like me to follow with little no-how!

    I frequent the Food Network to print off recipes after I watch an episode; I use MapQuest though I still get lost; I call my daughter for the low-down on what NOT to wear; I read, read, read to learn more; I surf on the internet to learn more; I practice listening as lessons come everyday from the most unexpected sources!
