***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.

I am a little afraid to play romantic matchmaker for people. But, I have helped network people to help them advance their careers, so that is sort of like matchmaking!

Match me!!
I got matched by a friend and 16 years after we had been together we were able to be married (when DC passed married equality), and were able to get married on our “pseudo-anniversary” day, so this October we will be celebrating our 1st and 17th anniversaries!

I tried to play matchmaker once and it ended very poorly – probably won’t try again. I also had someone try to match me up once and it also was not awesome.
C.D. says
MATCH ME!
The only time I remember someone trying to match me up was right after my divorce, many moons ago, my new boss called me at home one night to try to match me up with this ‘adorable’ guy a friend of her’s knew. Turns out the ‘adorable’ guy was my recently departed ex. Ha! And this was no small town either. That was a bit of a creepy feeling :-)
Carrie says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never played matchmaker, but went on a few blind dates for friends who did. Worst dates EVER!
Amy says

And yes, I’ve tried and it blew up in my face. Never again!
