***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!
No matchmaking skills here. I’d prefer to let fate (or the internet these days) do its job.
nicole mason says
Match Me! I haven’t made a perfect match yet!
Katie @ Epistle says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never tried to play match maker, but my husband has the uncanny ability for it – three happily married couples and counting.
Jennifer Paterson says
MATCH ME!! I have tried playing matchmaker twice and been matched up once and I think my friends and I should stick to our day jobs lol

MATCH ME!
Never been a matchmaker, I’d be awful.
Alison says
MATCH ME!
And I have only ever played matchmaker once – I set up two of my closest friends, Katie and John – and over a year later, they are still together! :) (and have just moved in together!)
Ashley says
MATCH ME!
My hubby and I were matched up by a friend so I’m all for it! :)
Elaine says
MATCH ME! My husband and I were semi-set up… not a blind date or anything, but encouraged by friend and now sister in law during a drunken night out with a group of friends.
Callie says
Match me!! My matchmaking attempts have also been flops :| But my husband and I recently realized we are pretty good at matching people with cats that they would like, from the menagerie we have fostered for the humane society! Apparently I’m better at figuring out cat personalities than people personalities… 0_o
Thanks for telling us about this site, I’m bookmarking this post for future art needs even though I probably won’t win!
Anjuli says
Match Me!
Someone claims to have played matchmaker with my husband and I, but I don’t believe it.
Angela says
Match Me! Tried to be a match maker 2 times. Didn’t work!
Ashley White says
Once, a friend of mine tried to make sparks fly between a guy friend of hers & me… on our date, he let gravity hold the door for me (as in, he pushed it open for himself really, really hard, and hoped I’d make it in before it shut) and on the way home, he made he hold a giant drink of his because he didn’t have a cupholder.
Desi says
Match Me…
I played matchmaker once between my upstairs neighbor and my good friend. They actually dated for a couple of years so I think I did a pretty good job.
I went out on one date with a good friends brother that went ok, and two more blind dates that were nightmares…luckily I’m married to the love of my life so I don’t have to worry about that anymore.
Tyler says
Match me.
Never been a matchmaker, never been matched.
Lauren says
match me!!
i’m definitely not willing to take on the responsibility of matchmaker, but–thankfully–my sister-in-law was :)
Caroline says
MATCH ME!!
I was set up by a friend once in my early 20s, but it was definitely NOT a match, lol.

MATCH ME!
Jackie Smith says
Match Me!

MATCH ME! I think I have played match maker a couple of times, but not really sure that it ended well. haha.
Kate C. says
MATCH ME! I have not had any success in matchmaking – every time I try to set up my friends with other friends/acquaintences, it doesn’t end well!
Jessica Case says
MATCH ME!!
I am actually the product of match making! A co-worker set me up with a high school friend and we’re going to be married next September! I was the 3rd couple she played matchmaker with too! :)

Match Me!
A couple I matched up just got married and just had their first baby.

Mallory Alexander says
MATCH ME!
Im not a matchmaker….things always seem to work out with time.
Amy says
MATCH ME! My husband and I have a rule to never speculate… and most of the people who do end up getting together I wouldn’t have imagined. I’d be a terrible matchmaker.
Whitney J says
Match me!
I’ve never tried to play matchmaker, but I’ve thought about it a few times.
jenny says
match me!
I’ve definitely made my share of predictions as to who would end up with who (and often been right), but as for actively stepping in and trying to get people together….not for me thanks :)
Ange says
MATCH ME!
The night I met my husband, I was trying to hook him up with my best friend. :)

MATCH ME!
Laura says
Match me!
I’ve never played matchmaker, but I was set up with my husband back in high school.
Ashley says
Match me! I’ve specifically requested that nobody ever try to match me with anyone, so it wouldn’t be fair for me to try to match someone!
Kelly says
Match me! Please.
I played matchmaker only once and they have been together for four years and someone is proposing very soon :) We’re excited!
Chrissy says
MATCH ME!
In college we used to set each other up for blind-date parties. The match was good for the evening, but never went anywhere after that!
A Rapp says
MATCH ME! A friend tried to set me up with his friend years ago. Many sparks flew but the timing/place was never quite on. Oh well… nice memories!

MATCH ME!
I’ve never played matchmaker…at least not yet!

Match Me!! I wish I could match my little brother up with some awesome lady! He’s quite a catch, so to speak!
Becky says
Match Me!
My husband and I were match-made by our best friend, Brian, who we in turn played matchmaker with my identical twin sister whom he ended up marrying!! Fun times to be had with the 4 of us, for sure!! :)
Kristin S. says
Match me!
I’ve tried, but it’s more awkward than anything else- especially if the couple doesn’t get along at all!
Kellie R. says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never tried to be matchmaker…but I married the man that my aunt set me up with! GO BLIND DATES!

Laura says
Match Me! My fiance and I met because our two best friends were dating, they’ve long since broken up but we’re still together seven years later!
Cate says
Match me! I’ve never tried to play matchmaker, and that’s probably for the best!
Lauren Stowe Jones says
MATCH ME!
My husband and I were set up on a date over ten years ago. Honestly, it didn’t work out. But, then we met up again as friends five years later, and we totally sparked. So, now, even if I set people up and it goes really poorly, I think, “you never know what will happen in the future….”
