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!

    My wonderful and (somewhat) patient hubby always has to guide me through major computer-related decisions because I’m too afraid to destroy (what I see as) a very delicate balance that keeps my laptop humming along!

    GUIDE ME!!! actually “GUIDE US” I have been a homeowner for 7 yrs, and have not added any new touches since we moved into the home, because of “Irreconcible differences” with my husband. We just simply can’t come to an agreement, so we remain in “stagnitantopia in a builder’s white world”. Any help would certainly be appreciated.

    GUIDE ME!
    I need guidance in many aspects of life… especially directions when going places. I also need it in my home—placement of furniture, how to organize, etc. My mom is usually my go-to woman, but now I live a billion miles away from her! I’m crossing my fingers I win this give away.

    GUIDE ME! GPS just took us to and from Nashville (for CMA Fest – got home around 12:30 this morning), and we’d have been lost without it on that 14 hour drive!
    That said, I also rely on guidance from you guys and HGTV (a la Candice Olson, David Bromstad, Genevieve Gorder, and Emily Henderson) to make all of my design ideas a reality….
    *and* I’ve always wanted to get one of “my design guide”‘s 3D room designs!!! :)
