***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.

No matchmaking for me, but my parents were a blind date set up by their friends over 30 years ago. :)
Erika says
MATCH ME!
I’ve tried playing matchmaker two times total and both ended disasterously. Never again!

MATCH ME!
Some mutual friends tried to match me and this guy up freshman year of high school. We’re married now but not due to them!
Laura F. says
MATCH ME!
Never really tried my hand at the matchmaker thing!
Chrissy says
MATCH ME!
I am a terrible matchmaker. When my current partner tried to match himself WITH ME I was clueless and didn’t catch on for about two months. Lucky for me he was persistent. :)
Melissa says
Match Me!
Never tried matching anyone…I figure my friends are a better judge of who’d work for them than me!

Been on both sides and has never worked for me or the other person. :(

Colleen Wheeler says
Match me! No matchmaking here…sounds like drama!
Rachel says
MATCH ME!
I refuse to play match maker, because one time a friend said, you’d love my cousin. And I said, ok. Not only did her cousin talk about politics, but he also talked about his beloved bird while pretending to carry it close to his chest. It was the only date ever that I suddenly had an “emergency” and had to leave. So I don’t play matchmaker.
Rachel says
Match me!
My friends always tried to play matchmaker for me … they never got it right – I found my guy on my own!

Match Me!
I’ve never played matchmaker but I think it would be fun to!
Lauren says
MATCH ME!!!
My now Husband and I were matched up as a joke, you could say, back in High School. There is always so much jealousy floating around and our Ex’s had just got together. Our friends dared us to act like we were dating just for the heck of it and to make the Ex’s wish they wouldn’t of done what they did. He became my best friend, We fell in love, got engaged at 18, married at 20, just recently bought our first new home at 22, we’ve been together for 5 years and married almost 3 (in November)years and are still madly in love. It’s beautiful the way life works out :)
Hazel says
MATCH ME!

Elizabeth says
Match me! I tried repeatedly to set my best friend from grade school up with friends from college…he blew it with every girl I sent his way!!!
Andrea says
MATCH ME!
My current BF and I were set-up by his mom. She and I used to work together and she had been trying to get us together for 2+ years. This past winter we were both single and she jumped at the opportunity to play matchmaker. We are 3 months and counting. . . :)
P.S. She introduces me to people as her future daughter-in-law. Slightly awkward but funny nonetheless!!!

MATCH ME! Back in college someone tried to “match me”… BAD IDEA!
Jenna says
MATCH ME!
I played matchmaker once and they ended up getting married! I was an RA at our study abroad dorm in college. I had a Josephine from Holland and a Jose from Puerto Rico. Let’s just say it was a match made in Jose-van.

I played a matchmaker once and it was successful. I have two officemates from Accounting. I always tease them and they hate each other.. Later on I found out that they are together.. they got married and I became the Godmother of their first born.
la-la-lisa says
Oh and I’ve been set up in the past — blind dates — and those just never worked out. :(
Stephanie says
Match Me!
Heeten says
Match me!
Michelle says
Match me! The only times I’ve tried to play matchmaker (once intentionally, once not), it’s ended pretty terribly. I’ve never intentionally been set up, although my exboyfriend did unwittingly introduce me to my current boyfriend, so there’s that.

MATCH ME! I have only tried to play matchmaker once. It was a few months ago and they went out twice. I don’t think either has ruled the other out… that’s not too bad, right?
Stephanie Marsh says
MATCH ME! I’ve never tried to match up anyone, nor have I been setup. I don’t think I’d want to be responsible for a bad setup!
Teresa C says
Match Me!
I set up a college girlfriend with my then boyfriend’s roommate. They ended marrying each other years later, now have 2 gorgeous children and are living happily ever after. Me and the boyfriend, not so much! But everything happens for a reason and I am blissfully happy now!

Match.com is currently the greatest matchmaker in my life as it helped get me and my sweet boyfriend Aaron together!

MATCH ME!
I’ve never played matchmaker, you never really know how people are going to click so it’s best to let them make their own matches!
Holly Edwards says
Match me! I’ve tried blind dates and they’ve gone horribly wrong. I swear, never, ever again!

I haven’t tried to play matchmaker but if I ever do, I’ll just invite both parties (and other people) over and let the potential matchees take it from there.
Katie says
MATCH ME!
My best childhood friend set me up with her husband’s good college buddy one New Years Eve…we are going on 1.5 years and madly in love. I would say it was a great success on her part!
