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 need guidance in IT. I can do a lot of things on my own, but my brothers are computer scientists… so whenever somethings going wrong in IT they are guiding me!

    I would give the value to my mum… She’s not happy with the living room. Perfect gift for her =)

    We use all the guidance we can get on car repair. We DIY our car (and our house and pretty much everything else), but we rely pretty heavily on step-by-step instructions on message boards. Oh internet, you are glorious.

    I definitely need my GPS 100%. I get lost soo easily. In fact, I was anti-GPS for a long time, until my boss basically told me it was an embarrassment to our company that I got lost so often (the company makes maps!).

Talk about multi uses. This service would be awesome (although I couldnt afford the design fee without the giveaway!)

    GUIDE ME! I still have no idea how people lived without the internet. I am CONSTANTLY checking with the interweb gods when doing everyday stuff. A few weeks ago I locked myself out of the house with nothing other than my iphone. One YouTube video on “How to pick a lock” later, I was sipping wine on my sofa. No joke. The internet is awesome.
