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)
- 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…

GUIDE ME. PLEASE. I am good at a lot of things–sewing, cooking, cleaning, raising boys–but I SUCK at home decorating. I like to say our decor is “eclectic” but it’s just a garbled mess. Hence my visits to your site. Gonna do those curtains you talked about recently. Gonna do ’em! Thanks for all the inspiring posts you share. I think they’re going to help our little home.

Guide me. Please!
Well, I am loathe to admit this, but I used to be an avid Lost viewer despite the fact that I had no idea what was going on most of the time. I used to go online after each show and read the various reviews and episode recaps – apparently some smart people were able to follow that convoluted story line!

Jennifer M says
GUIDE ME!
I like to use recipes for guidance in the kitchen, but I usually change them depending on what I have on hand or just my gut feelings about taste. So I guess I use them as just that, guidance, as opposed to directions that are set in stone.
Leanne says
GUIDE ME!! I use cookbooks to make meals, and GPS to get me places.
