***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!
How’s this for a match… my husband and I met on match.com almost 5 years ago. I was on the site for a week before we connect and got married about a year and a half later. It really works! :)

MATCH ME! I’ve never tried to play matchmaker – we don’t have many single friends we feel would “fit” with each other.
Abby Kozel says
MATCH ME!!!
I was “accidentally” matched at my BFF’s wedding. She’d been wanting…and trying to set me up since I’d met her. I was aisle-buddies* with a groomsman (her husband’s childhood friend) and we hit it off! She’d never thought to set us up before then, but (almost) 2 years later, we’re living together. Ahh <3
*aisle-buddies: my term for the bridesmaid and groomsman who walk down the aisle togethers
Cathy says
Match Me! I am trying to play matchmaker now between a coworker and my bestfriend.
