***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!
Every once in a while I’ll try to play matchmaker. Unfortunately, it never works. Hope to win!!!
Erin @ What Makes Home says
Match me! I’ve only ever joked about setting up some of my friends, but it’s never happened. I guess I don’t want to be considered responsible if it doesn’t work out :)
Jami says
MATCH ME!
I have played matchmaker twice, one turned out to be amazing…they got married and the other time was a disaster!
Erin says
MATCH ME! and no thanks to playing cupid :)
Andrea says
Match me!!
I have never tried my hand at matchmaking (which my still single friends are probably quite thankful for!).
Jen says
MATCH ME! I’ve never played matchmaker that I can remember, and I don’t think I’ve ever been matched … but both my mom and my MIL (who didn’t know each other) knew my husband and I should get married before we were even dating. Luckily, we figured it out on our own.
Kelli says
MATCH ME!
Not a matchmaker; would be a disaster!

MATCH ME!!
I have set up a few of my friends and most of them have resulted in successful relationships!

MATCH ME! I’ve been a forced matchmaker before and the match ended up lasting 1 year….so minor success?!?
Lauren A. says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never really tried to be a matchmaker per se, but I have given people advice about their relationships when they’ve asked. It’s fun, but not something I like to do all the time!
Susannah Hunter says
MATCH ME! My cousin kept swearing that her new step-brother and I would be a perfect match. We met at her wedding in 2000 but no sparks. Then several months later, we ended up in the same city and started hanging out. Now, it’s two kids later, and we celebrated our 7-year-anniversary yesterday!
Katie G says
Match me!
No matchmaking here! Millionaire Matchmaker has taught me that matchmaking = drama drama drama!
Bethany says
MATCH ME! I ALWAYS try to play match maker. It NEVER works. I will stick with my day job :)

Match Me!
My now husband matched up his college roommate with his wife, who repaid the favor and introduced me to my Mr. Right.
Kristen T. says
MATCH ME!
I did try to be a matchmaker once for my cousin…and my best friend…turns out they didn’t much like each other….in fact, they were total opposites and couldn’t stand each other. I guess I shouldn’t quit my day job.
Dani M. says
MATCH ME!
My husband and I have theoretically matched my sister with several different guys. Alas, so far, all of those guys are now married, engaged, or dating other girls. Oh well!
Cari says
Match Me!!!
My husband and I were setup by a mutual friend of ours 10 years ago. We’ve been married 7 years and it has been wonderful. I am currently in the process of matchmaking a friend with another friend’s brother….we’ll see how it goes.
Erika says
MATCH ME!
I NEVER play matchmaker, but have had people try to set me up with others. I haven’t had any horrible experiences, but none that led to “Mr. Right” either.
Kacee Brown says
MATCH ME! My husband and I are always trying to set my brother up!
Emily says
MATCH ME!!
As a matchmaker, I’m a dismal failure…my mother-in-law, however, seems to have a real gift for it. She matched my husband and I, as well as his sister and her husband.
melissa G. says
Match me!!
And unfortunately yes!! :( Literally a few months ago with an intimate dinner party where the 2 contenders had NOTHING in common and the girl just sat in the corner with hives lol….no call backs!
Amy says
Match Me! My husband and I were originally a match that refused each other!
Amanda Ray says
MATCH ME!!!
Lindsey says
MATCH ME!
A friend played matchmaker to find a prom date for me in high school. He’s now my husband, so I guess it worked pretty well!
Paula in MN says
MATCH ME!! Over the last 30 years I have set up 11 couples. 10 of them are still married. The 11th couple never married, but are still together.
Rachel says
MATCH ME!
I tried to set my little sister up once with the drive-in waiter boy on roller skates at Sonic. She was so mad at me (what, a roll-skating waiter isn’t the catch of a lifetime?!) but I swear he was the nicest, sweetest boy and I bet it would have worked out.
holly says
Match me! I know just what i will get :) I haven’t ever played matchmaker, but i am sure i would be horrible at it!
sheryl s says
i need thiss…! match me please!
Christina says
Match Me!
Yes I have played matchmaker a few times, and each time it was a disaster. Won’t ever do it again.
Nancy says
“Match Me!” I tried to hook a co-worker up with my son’s best friend. It lasted about 8 months, but, alas, they went their separate ways. I am done with that job.
Kelly says
Match Me! How awesome is this!!! Have been matched and worked great for awhile. I have matched and the same is true. No happily ever afters yet.
Sarah Williamson says
Match Me!
Playing matchmaker has been something I’ve never even tried, too afraid of it blowing up in my face.
