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.

“GUIDE ME!” and…
•BONUS QUESTION: I love to cook, but I definitely use recipes (mainly from PW and other blogs I have found!) and cookbooks.
Julie says
GUIDE ME!! I always turn to the internet for guidance but especially for the decorating of my newly purchased condo! Younghouselove is one of my favorite places to look for help!
connie says
Guide me…I love to cook but can’t cook anything without a recipe. Same with decorating-i have to have an image or inspiration room in mind before buying or getting started!
Shannon says
GUIDE ME! I move from stove (or counter) to cookbook over and over again, even when I’ve made the dish a hundred times.
Rebecca says
GUIDE ME! I need guidance ALL the time, from a simple recipe to more complex, relational issues… :)
Megan says
GUIDE ME!
I have the WORST sense of direction. Google maps is my life line!
Meg says
GUIDE ME!!! I use Google regularly for random help, my husband, mother and sister for life advice, and cookbooks/iPod apps for recipe ideas. Man, can I even THINK for myself? ;-)
Rebecca says
GUIDE ME!! If I could figure out how to use my GPS, I would definitely use it :)
Kristin Kneupper says
“GUIDE ME!” I use both GPS and Internet. I miss maps though, there is something awesome about following coordinates and running your finger around the map looking for the exact location.
Eryn says
Guide Me!
nic says
GUIDE ME!
I need GPS ALWAYS!

GUIDE ME!
And I absolutely LOVE the GPS that came with my iPhone. Seattle is too darn confusing to navigate without a map,, friendly strangers, and several “whups, I passed it!” turns.
Veronica R says
GUIDE ME!!My fiance and I just moved in together – both straight from home so we have heavily been relying on family, friends, and blogs like YHL to make out new apartment the perfect home. It’s still is a huge work in progress so winning this contest would be the perfect nudge in the right direction.
Jennifer says
Guide Me! I don’t really mind getting lost, so I still rely on maps and just kind of figure it out as I go. Same with recipes – I combine 3 or 4 to get to a final product.
Lin says
GUIDE ME! I need professional help editing my wardrobe and also picking paint colors.
Jennifer T. says
GUIDE ME! I usually try google first.
Kay says
GUIDE ME! I take help/advice from everywhere.
Cynthia says
Guide Me! Through the college financial aid process for myself and my 3 children in college. Help!
Pamela says
“GUIDE ME!” I usually seek guidance when it comes to parenting. I rely on my own thoughts and instincts but I do seek feedback from experienced parents…can’t hurt to get some other ideas since parenting is so tough and kid’s don’t come with manuals!
Amy says
GUIDE ME!!
I have the worst sense of direction, so I definitely depend on my GPS for guidance to get me anywhere!!
Roe says
GUIDE ME!
Erika says
GUIDE ME!
I need help picking out flowers for my backyard!
Courtney says
GUIDE ME!
I need help in my living room! We are renting and can’t do anything about the 40’s wood paneling that covers a large wall. I need help designing around it! I rely on design blogs and how-to sites for tips but would love to be able to see my design as it applies to my house.

GUIDE ME!
Danielle from A Few of My Favorite Things says
I need some serious home decor guidance! We just bought a house after years of living in an apartment in NYC and I have way too many rooms and no idea what to do with them.
Caitlin says
Guide Me!
I always look for guidance when it comes to putting an outfit together…I’ve stared at my own clothes too long, I need a fresh pair of eyes!
Michelle says
Guide me – I use the internet as my go-to guide for most everything – Google is my first stop whenever I dream up a new hair-brained scheme.
I must say though that this prize would be extremely helpful – I’ve got a living room with two doorways that make furniture placement rather difficult (they’re placed diagonally across the room), and a ductless air conditioner that’s mounted to one side of my windows making it hard to figure out how to hang curtains so they don’t block any of the window, but don’t impede the air conditioner.
Christine says
GUIDE ME! I usually need assistance with getting around when I travel.
Heather Tomlinson says
GUIDE ME!
I needed guidance when my 3 day old baby’s eye started crusting up- I called a sweet lady in our church we are friends with that just happens to be a pediatrician- diagnosis- blocked tear duct!
Melissa says
GUIDE ME!! I usually call my hubby or rely on my GPS to get me where I need to go…
Graydon Tomlinson says
GUIDE ME! I needed guidance when we were trying to figure out how to take the drawers out of a BEAST of a dresser to get up a curvy flight up stairs…solution…call my stepdad.
Rebecca says
“GUIDE ME!” we could so use this on an empty living room we are trying to figure out what to do with!
But seeing as how I am living in my 3rd state in two years, I rely heavily on my GPS. And I don’t know what we did before Google?!?
Christy says
GUIDE ME!
GPS and Google Maps are a lifesaver.
Biljana says
GUIDE ME!! I don’t need GPS since my dad has all of the maps in his head (freaky I know :)
Kim Gutierrez says
GUIDE ME!
I am a die-hard google junkie when I need help or guidance with something, be it basic information or a select problem. I seriously don’t know how society managed to function and evolve without it.
Danielle says
GUIDE ME! I need help with keeping toys organized.

Cher@NewburghRestoration says
Guide Me! I definitely need assistance for my parents downstairs living room and this prize fits the bill perfectly!
Holly Wooldridge says
GUIDE ME!!! Please!!! I have a great room that I just can’t seem to finish. It is one of those lovely, akward rooms. We spend all of our time in the greatroom/kitchen so I want it to feel comfortable and be beautiful. Trust me, I need some help to pull that off…
Suzanne says
GUIDE ME!
I use all forms of guidance and step by step the first time! but I go rogue the 2nd and 3rd time around. Usually in the kitchen it works out in my favor.
Jennifer says
Guide me! I definitely need a map. I used to get confused/lost even in my own highschool – yikes!
Catherine M says
GUIDE ME!
I need guidance when it comes to finishing things I start!!! More like horse blinders though, so I can focus! :)))

Samm Spangler says
GUIDE ME!!!
I definitely need help when it comes to arranging furniture… I am able to SEE a good design that someone else does, but when it comes time to do MY furniture, I never seem to have the confidence…
HotMessMama says
GUIDE ME! Oh heavens, I’m desperate!
I’m definitely a fan of the Google map on my iPhone…can’t even navigate my old stomping grounds without it (I’m a navigate-by-wandering kind of person without the Google map).
Val says
GUIDE ME!
I always need guidance when my hubby sends me to get something in the nut/bolt/screw isle at the home improvement store.
ellen says
Guide Me!
Google is my best little helper! I need help with DIY and recipes for sure!
Love your blog!
Amanda S. says
GUIDE ME!
I always go to my good friend, google ;) LOL
Cameron says
Guide me! I need help in all aspects of my life from time to time! But that is why I just LOVE google! and my blogs! :)
Mendi R says
Guide Me!!! I need major help- my husband and I bought a home in August that needs some TLC/Updates/Redos and it actually still looks like we just moved in.
I am the queen of indecisive decorating and am always second guessing if I picked the right color, etc. Sooo I have not really done anything yet, no pictures hung up, minimal paint, and it just looks blah. This would be such a help for someone like me who can not make up their mind when it comes to decorating.
courtney says
GUIDE ME! I can always use advice in the interior design department and have consulted magazines and websites, but this skill just does NOT come naturally to me!
Kelsey Kleiman says
Guide Me.
The guidance I need lately is in home design. So I use your blog, design sponge, remodelista, etc…
