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! We have a 4 year old and a 10 month old and our master bedroom has become a family room! Help….! We need to return the sanctuary to our master suite! I have been using the internet to come up with ideas and plans but I can’t seem to pull it together! Somehow an exercauser in the middle of the bedroom doesn’t spell ‘romantic’ at the end of a long day!

    I love home decor but have no clue on how to map things out! We’ve got a new home that is very open concept and trying to “divide” things into useable space has been a navigational nightmare.

    when it comes to guidance I pretty much require help for anything – which works out great with the husband because he always seems to know how to do everything. He is my number one resource for everything cooking, renovating, baby caring, you name it ! :)

    I need guidance on all aspects of decorating. I have little free time and little money, but lots of ideas that tend to go bad when executed. I have painted the same rooms over and over again because I just plain stink at picking colors. I live just up the road from you guys (about 20 min North). Hmmm, maybe I should just come kidnap you and bring you to my house to work your magic. Hahahahahaha. :)

    GUIDE ME! So I use my GPS everyday to go to daycare.. there’s something about the arrival time that I like to try and beat (while abiding all traffic laws of course – I have my LO with me afterall)… but it’s my thing all the sudden. Also, the internet and my awesome hubby are great avenues for info and advice.
