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 am an avid reader of countless reviews for any baby product I buy. Seems to be so much stuff to buy and so many options within each item itself that I want to make sure I get my monies worth. I can’t tell you how long i researched strollers and high chairs and car seats… etc!

    When do I need guidence… well… I called my friend Megan the other day with a cheese emergency (because let’s face it, making cheese is not something I do without a book and a friend). For decorating, I call Rachel (tonight she is coming over to save me from beige overload). Smart friends = good.

    Guide me! Being directionally challenged, when I drive I rely on GPS,calls to my dear husband, the stars, moon, and, when I am really desperate, divine intervention! Don’t need much direction when it comes to cooking. For decorating, I rely on nature as my inspiration..also blogs, magazines, friends.

    O please GUIDE ME!

    My husband and I are closing on our first home on Wednesday. We searched all over for a sofa, and the only one he liked was robin’s-egg-blue. So we bought it. It’s very swish, and it has character to spare, but it is NOT what I expected, and now I have No Bloody Idea how to design around it! HELP! I need all the guidance I can get.
