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.
- PRIZE: A 3D Custom Room Design from My Design Guide (a $229 value)

- 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.

Joie says
Guide Me! If there’s an expert around I’ll always ask for help if I’m not sure, no matter what it is. Otherwise I wing it, and it’s made for some spaztastic results more than a few times.
Lee Ann says
GUIDE ME!!!!
Google is my best friend. I ask her lots of questions – in full on sentence form – and I’m not often disappointed!!!
Ngoc says
GUIDE ME! Please! I need lots of guidance on how to decorate my house. The question is if I win, which room to start with! We moved in a year ago and only finished the boys bedrooms!
Thanks and I love your blog!

Kristina Shahbazian says

GUIDE ME! I usually Google everything… what did the world do before it?
Ami says
Guide Me! I use my GPS for directions. But my favorite way to find a place is by landmarks… i.e. turn right at the Shell and Left at the Wendy’s, etc. It drives my boyfriend bonkers. :)
Cathy says
GUIDE ME! We have decorating on the mind lately, so I’m constantly reading blogs and magazines for design tips. YHL is definitely at the top of our list because we just bought a red brick ranch :)
JennZ says
GUIDE ME!!!
I find that I need guidance in a lot of areas in my life (sad to say lol). I don’t like taking risks, so I look to others to help make decisions. Most of the time I use the internet for guidance (research product reviews, sales, deals, etc) to insure that I’m making the best decision that I can with the least amount of money. I also resort to my mother and my friends when I’m making more personal decisions so that I know I’m not making a decision that I will regret in the future.
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity!! I’m in desperate need for some help with my house!

GUIDE ME! I pretty much look for guidance on everything. Thank you, google!
Jacqueline says
GUIDE ME!! I can use some gardening help. The internet is the best source for me these days.
Daniella says
GUIDE ME! I like to use google image first for anything so I can see it first, then I look up the directions on how to do it afterwards.
Annie says
GUIDE ME! I have two boys who LOVE lego (who doesn’t?) Can’t make anything in Lego these days without the instructions. Today’s Lego Kits go waaay beyond the good ol’ bricks from my youth.
Asterid says
Guide Me! I never start cooking without a recipe in front of me. The results are horrific otherwise.
Kimberly R. says
Guide Me!
We bought our house almost two years ago and only two rooms have been modified because I am so worried I will make the wrong choices. Which I KNOW is silly- We live in a 70’s split level that needs massive love. (You should see the floor to ceiling lava rock fireplace)
I don’t use GPS, just mapquest- we’re besties!
I also find most of my cooking recipies off the net.
Megan says
GUIDE ME!
I constantly use the GPS on my phone to get where I’m going!

GUIDE ME!! I Google everything, from what to make for dinner, to how to get a smooth paint job on trimwork.
KatieM says
GUIDE ME!!! I need lots of help…

GUIDE ME! My mom is always the first person I go to when I need guidance on anything. Love ya Mom!!!
Stephanie says
GUIDE ME!!!
One word: GOOGLE!!!
Jane says
GUIDE ME! There are so many choices to make every second of every minute. I can tend to get a little overwhelmed so I look for guidance personally and professionally all day long. My preference is to Google the issue, get a few options, then discuss with people either in the office or with friends and family. I think I enjoy the conversation the most. Making a decision, even with the guidance, is so tough sometimes!
Barbara Fitzsimmons says
GUIDE ME! I’ll take help wherever I can get it.

Brooke says
GUIDE ME!!
I always confer w/ google maps & GPS when driving on long trips (even if I’ve been there before…)
AND as for cooking, I need step by step directions :) I’m still learning…and if I need “in-a-pinch” help, my grams always comes to the rescue (phone call away!)
Ivan says
GUIDE ME!
AH HA HA HA! A ha ha! Ha! A-heh.
Where DON’T I need guidance?
Let’s see. Without a GPS I get lost in my hometown.
Without cookbooks my food is inedible.
I’ve left color swatches on my wall for two years now because I can’t figure out how to start painting.
I see life coaches, innundate my wife with requests for help, look to management to direct and guide me in my work.
Seriously, Clara is more self-directed than I am, I’m not even fooling.
Jackie says
GUIDE ME to the right place at the right time!
