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 pretty much need everything, maps because I am directionally challanged. Recipes because everything would taste bad if I didn’t have that. EVERTHING !

    I totally like assistance with DIY. Either fab blogs like your own or help from the pros at the stores. I wish there were more classes on how to do things. Googling things is great but asking a real live person is better.

    I desperately need design guidance. I turned off my “creative” side many years ago when I started a career in IT. Now it is dormant, and I can’t revive it.

    In terms of decorating, I could sure use some guidance with our living room. Trying to turn builder basic into rustic and comfy is harder than I thought it’d be. Instead we’re stuck in that “don’t know what to do so we do nothing” stage. Awesome.

    Guide Me! I use food network’s web site all the time. At 5pm I look up what I have in the fridge and try to adapt it to what’s on-hand. My husband eats anything I make so I usually score. I’m the one who needs navigation help to get around but I bought my husband a GPS for Christmas one year and he enjoys it so much he won’t let it out of his sight. Maybe I can get it when I get him a new one! I love all decorating shows/sites and would love some help with a north facing (aka — dark) living room/music room. -Maria

    I get lost all the time, so I need maps out the wazoo (although I probably can’t even find my wazoo with both hands and a flashlight). Also recipes – they have to be exact with no room for misinterpretation. Ideally with step-by-step pictures.
