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 am a first year kindergarten teacher (just survived!)I work in a private school and they hired me to help build their program. I had a trial by FIRE year and I know I would not have successfully taught my students without the guidance of my mentor teacher from student teaching, my family’s support, and a helpful kindergarten teacher’s blog online. Now, as my husband and I start the exciting process of purchasing our first home, we are looking to your blog and it’s amazing to me how helpful a stranger can be. Thank you.

    I need the most guidance when it comes to color. Some people have a knack for knowing what colors come together so beautifully, and I am sadly not one of them.

    GUIDE ME! I definitely need some help!! We bought a home in November with the intentions to make it larger and do some remodling. The only thing accomplished so far is the living room got painted, and now I’m not sure I even like the color! I usually turn to the internet, books and magazines for ideas and inspiration.

    GUIDE ME PLEASE! I have a Long, Narrow, Living room that I STAY confused with. I NEED HELP! I love my GPS system. LOVE! To use recipe sites and books for cooking help. I tend to be able to cook on my own also. ALWAYS, talk to my sisters, Mom and daughters before I make big improvements. Even though most of them live 1,200 miles away. I will also ask that trusty pro assistance when I am desperate.
