***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
Our winner, thanks to the willy nilly matchmaking skills of random.org, is… Sharon (who’s hoping to be matched up with a piece of art to finish off a master bedroom renovation). Congrats!
Art.com is full of affordable stuff to help solve Naked Wall Syndrome (like these horse prints that we recently purchased) so we’re psyched that they’re giving away an $250 gift card to one of you lucky folks this week. They’ve launched a new tool called Match My Image that promises to come in handy next time you’re hunting for the perfect piece. You just upload an image – maybe of a fabric that you’re trying to coordinate or a photo that you’re using as inspiration – and it spits out a slew of art in that color scheme/vein that’s available for purchase. Here’s what we happened upon when we uploaded a couple of personal pictures (a photo of the river here in Richmond and a painting that Clara recently whipped up). Fun, right?
- PRIZE: A $250 gift card to Art.com
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MATCH ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … tell us if you’ve ever tried playing matchmaker? Or has someone else tried to match you up? How did it all work out? Was it amazing? Or should you (or your would-be matchmaker) stick to their day job?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, July 13th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States
- 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 morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Art.com.

MATCH ME!
Years ago before we were together my husband tried to play matchmaker with me and his best friend. Oh yeah…that didn’t work out at all!!
Ashley Watson says
MATCH ME! im not so good at matchmaker.. but thats okay :)
Jenn says
MATCH ME! My marriage is a product of a semi-matchup! (Friend of a friend. Our mutual friend thought we’d like one another. And we did/do!)
meg says
Match Me!!
Never been much of a matchmaker!
Kelly says
MATCH ME! Actually, I met my husband because my friend, who I had met while working at a Young Life camp, played matchmaker. She went home (they lived 1,000 miles away), and told him, “I met your future wife.” And, in fact, she did! :)
Heather L says
MATCH ME!
I can’t say I’ve ever played matchmaker!
Kate S. says
MATCH ME!
I have played Matchmaker, but never very ardently. I guess I’ve never really known two people I thought would be “perfect” together.
Traci says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never directly attempted to play match maker, but I’ve been responsible for several introductions that led to marriage. I have been known to brag and take full credit for these weddings…
Sharon S says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never tried, but have wanted to! I’d be afraid of taking the blame in case it didn’t work out
Jaimee says
MATCH ME!!!
I’ve only played matchmaker once — when I broke up with my college boyfriend I suggested that he date a girl we both knew once he was ready to start dating again. He did start dating her a few months later, but she eventually cheated on him with his best friend, so I should probably avoid matchmaking in the future.
JillM says
MATCH ME!
I’ve only played cupid once that I can remember. Although they are no longer together, it didn’t go horribly wrong so I would try it again.
Krista says
Match Me!
Matched my ex with my best friend… And now engaged, way to go me ?
Jenelle Wass says
Match Me!
I attempted to play matchmaker once. But it never panned out. Probably for the best…it can be sticky when your friend dates your roommate.
Laura says
Match me! A mutual friend set my husband and I up, which obviously worked out well!
lindsey says
Match me!
Sarah says
MATCH ME!
In high school, my friends wanted me to date this guy who liked me a lot, but we were just friends. I repeatedly told my other friends to date him if they liked him so much, but they kept pressuring me to date him. Eventually I did – now, six years later, we are getting married in a month!
Alison U. says
MATCH ME! I actually haven’t ever tried to play matchmaker – and no one else has subjected me to the punishment, either. I guess I should consider myself lucky…
Sarah says
MATCH ME
keri says
MATCH ME!
My dog, Katie, is the finest matchmaker in my life – three years ago she walked up to my now-boyfriend at a friendly gathering and sat on his lap – and she wouldn’t get up until I talked to him!
Carrie says
MATCH ME!
Never been matched….never matched anyone. But I met my husband when I was 18 and he was 20, so we didn’t exactly have time! :-)
JR Seaman says
Match me!
I’ve never tried to play matchmaker.
Kasaundra says
Match me!
The one time I ever played matchmaker, the couple ended up getting engaged. But then they also ended up breaking off the engagement. So I guess I should stay out of it!
Jacqueline says
I alway try to play matchmaker for my single gals. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t but I want all of them to get married ASAP. (sorry, sounds like their moms) :)
Karla says
MATCH ME!
If I’m playing matchmaker for anyone…it’s ME! Then I’ll think about others. LOL
Allison says
MATCH ME!
I have been trying to play matchmaker for months, but it is not easy. All of my young handsome bachelor friends have moved to different states and all my pretty single gals are in one city!
Kitty says
MATCH ME!
My husband and I met through a matchmaker extraodinaire, my mother’s best friend. Twenty years later, we’re still here!
jody says
Match me!!
I do love to play match maker and actually introduced one of my best friends to a guy I knew…and they married! So fun!!!
Shana says
MATCH ME!!!
My husband and I were a blind date! :)
Marci says
MATCH ME!!
i’m too much a scaredy cat to plat matchmaker, or be matched myself!
Dana says
MATCH ME!
A former roomate introduced me to his buddy. We were married in less than 2 years! 7 years later, we’re still going strong! So a big thanks to our matchmaker, my dear friend Andrew!
Sarah says
MATCH ME!
No match making here!

Melissa says
MATCH ME! Someone played the matchmaker with me. It worked! We are getting married in December :)
Chelsea W. says
Match Me!! I used to play matchmaker all the time when I was in school. I can’t remember one time it ever worked out. Don’t think I’ll try my hand at that again :)
Becky D. says
MATCH ME! A friend tried to set me up once with a distance relationship and it simply didn’t work. We only met a few times and our meeting point was our mutual friends place. But the odd part was that my friend got insanely jealous when I’d spend more of the weekend with him than her. She went on to set up a couple that did end up getting married but for 50/50 I’d suggest she still keep her day job.
tk says
Match me
Sarah says
Match Me!
I set my sister up once and it didn’t go well…I’m definitely sticking to my day job!
Jamie says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never played matchmaker, but my BFF played matchmaker with me and her BF’s roommate. Six and a half years later, the hubby and I are still together (though BFF has moved on to a better relationship).
Shire says
match me!
never been able to play matchmaker :( Oh well! I met my match!
Meredith says
MATCH ME!
I try to play matchmaker all the time, but no one ever goes out on dates.
kristin says
Match me! My mother constantly tried to hook me up with my different friends in high school-umm no! So embarrassing, every time any boys came to the house mom would mention whatever boy she wanted me to date and “got the scoop” from our friends about his situation, oh the horror. Now her sights are set on my brother, bless his soul.
megan says
