***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!
I’m not so much a match maker as a match breaker… not my fault I have a good Spidey sense about my friend’s boyfriends. At least when I like them, it always works out!
Leah @ L4L says
MATCH ME!
Cheryl says
MATCH ME! Best story ever!!!! We have an annual Halloween party and a new colleague of mine came dressed as Miley Cyrus and a new colleague of my husband’s came dressed as Kayne West. They met over a college drinking game and now they will be married this October! I love playing matchmaker while everyone is dressed as a rock star!
Megan says
MATCH ME!
My best friend/former roommate set me up with her brother. No he and I are married, and I have my best friend as a sister-in-law! :-)
amanda n says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never matched anyone, but my husband and I met on well known “matching” web site. ;)
Lauren says
MATCH ME!
I met my husband on MATCH.com….they were our matchmakers :).
Amy S. says
Match Me, please ;)
I’ve played match maker one time and the couple was married last year! That’s a success rate of 100%
Kate says
MATCH ME!!
I have tried playing matchmaker and it always seems like more of a perfect fit in my mind then it ends up being. Secretly, I probably just want my friends and my hubby’s friends to date so that we can have more double-dates and see our friends more often.
Kelly says
MATCH ME! My boyfriend (at the time) and I played match maker with my cousin and his best friend. Eight years of dating later they’re now married!
Nicole Zoe says
Match Me!
I have tried a few times to set up my best friend with a few guys and it never works. It’s so awkward, too, because each side doesn’t want to offend you about your friend, so they kind of avoid it.
Andrea Watts says
Match me and help me fill my empty walls!
Jade says
MATCH ME
Stephanie F says
MATCH ME!
I have successfully played matchmaker twice, both couples are still happily married :)
Helen says
MATCH ME! I love when matchmaking works!!
Amanda says
“MATCH ME!”
I’ve matched one set of friends on accident. I never would have thought they would like each other but they hit it off, assumed it was a fix-up and I just went with it.
Kristen says
MATCH ME! Never had a successful match-making venture. Maybe one day.
Andrea Watts says
I’ve never been matched up. Too scary!
Jessica H says
Match Me!
My fiance, Rob, and I met on Match.com. We always joke that we should be on their ads because we found out that we actually lived in the same apartment complex, on the same floor, about 4 or 5 doors down the hall from each other. We were considered a 98% match through their system, so we took a chance. They must have been right, because that was a little over 5 years ago, and now we’re getting married in September! We could use some new art to go along with some of our other newly accquired household items (thanks to the generous shower gifts of our friends and family).
Breanne says
MATCH ME :)
I haven’t played matchmaker but a friend I had in college matched me up with a mutual friend. We are now engaged and decorating our first home together!
brooke cox says
“MATCH ME!” and yes, my husband and i were set up by a mutual friend to go to a concert together. seems to have worked out nicely.
MrsMorgan says
Match me!
A friend from my dance company matched me up with her brother, 3 years ago. He proposed at our company’s dance performance 6 months after we met, and we’ve been married for 2 years now. My friend is now my dear sister-in-law :)

MATCH ME! I don’t play match maker…if I knew any guys I’d want to set up, I’d be dating them myself!;)
Lauren says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never played matchmaker but my mom has tried to play matchmaker with me. It turned into a relationship but only lasted two years. She’s ca-razy like that though. :)
Taylor says
Match me!!
My friend played match maker on me in the 11th grade! It worked at the time, but he was older, so when he went off to college we split. So, about 9 months ago we reconnected and started dating immediately! The chemistry was already there, and we have both matured. He is my favorite person of all time!
Lydia says
Match me!
No romantic matches made by me…but I’ve had success matching up roommates and friends with jobs, so I think that counts for something. :-)
Jessica says
MATCH ME! I have never played matchmaker but have been matchd a time or two.

MATCH ME!
I only play matchmaker after a few cocktails…and it is NEVER pretty :)

Tracy says
MATCH ME!
I was actually matched with my current boyfriend by one of my friends…shall I say she did an excellent job (even though I resisted at the beginning with several eye-rolls and “he’s so not my type”)
Jessica says
Match Me!
I did play matchmaker once and it went very well! The couple I got together got married last year! :)

Match Me!
I’ve never tried to play matchmaker, but am thinking about trying to hook my cousin up with a newly divorced neighbor…they seem like they could be a match made in heaven. Wish me luck! :o)
Ashley says
MATCH ME!
I’m kind of notorious for playing matchmaker. It’s always a secret plan when I host parties or dinners. My (single) best friend is aware of it so she always tries to avoid any single guys I invite over…
Jessica says
MATCH ME!!!
My mom is always trying to match me up with a new guy she meets out – at the grocery store, gas station, etc. I’ve never gone on a date with any of them…pretty sure she scares them away! Haha
MacKenzie T says
MATCH ME!
My friends were trying to get me to go out with them to meet a cute boy that was going to be in the group of friends we were meeting. I didn’t want to get out of my PJ’s , but 8 months later when he became my husband I was sure glad I went out that night!
Lacey says
MATCH ME! :)
I’ve never tried playing matchmaker. I would feel horrible if it didn’t work out!
Emily Elizabeth says
Match me! But please, not as terribly as every matchmaker I’ve ever had. Why were they all musicians, anyhow?
Brooke says
MATCH ME
Emily H. says
Match me!
Well… I met my husband on match.com, so I’d say I’ve been successfully “matched”, haha.
Sarah says
MATCH ME!
My parents were matched up on a blind date…30 years later and they’re still going strong!
Peggy Bastian says
MATCH ME!
Jacqui says
MATCH ME!
I always couple people up in my head, but no one takes me seriously when I tell them they’d be the perfect match for the tall guy on the otherside of the room, lol!
Leigh says
MATCH ME!
I am staying far away from playing cupid!
