***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! I tried playing matchmaker once, back in high school. My then boyfriend and I paired up our respective best friends. It looked promising after the first date, but after the second date they decided to go their separate ways. Oh well! Haven’t tried since.
Jamie says
MATCH ME

Match Me!
I have accidentally played matchmaker for two very close girlfriends. Oddly, they got married to their matches ON THE SAME DAY. One wedding was an elopement and I was Maid of Honor in the other wedding. The eloped couple had a more formal affair a year later and I was honored to be the MOH in that instance, as well.
dalis davidson says
Match me! Nope, no one ever tried to match me up cuz I was usually already matched up!

MATCH ME
People used to try to set me up all the time. Nothing ever worked great.
Michelle says
Match me!
I’m no matchmaker.. I wouldn’t mind being someone’s guinea pig though! hehe
Laura says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never tried to play matchmaker…I think about it all the time tough! I have friends who are great matchmakers…I’ll just outsource and keep my day job. The “Match My Image” tool looks awesome!
Mollie says
MATCH ME!
I was the victim of a matchmaker! The matchmaker tried to set me up with a friend, but I ended up marrying the friend’s best friend! So it all worked out in the end. :-)
Tala says
MATCH MEEEEEEE!!!
Too chicken to play matchmaker much…but am quite open to friends matching me up with their friends!

“MATCH ME!” I’ve never played matchmaker – by my co-worker totally set me up on a blind date with my now, husband. Sweet!
Anita says
MATCH ME! I have never been involved in any matchmaking…maybe I should give it a try! I do need some matchmaking to fill the walls of the home that my husband and I are in the process of buying!
Liz G. says
Match me!
Jaimie says
MATCH ME … can’t say I’ve ever tried to hook anyone up. Luckily I found my other half pretty quickly and I don’t need to suffer through anyone else’s attempt at matchmaking.
Megan @ Loving the little things says
Match me!!
I’ve never dabbled in the matchmaking process…seems too dangerous! I prefer to sit and watch from the sidelines :)

MATCH ME! I need some art!

MATCH ME!
I’ve only tried one set-up, but only one of the parties had any interest in the other. That was a bit rough.
Brittany says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never tried to play matchmaker–I’m always afraid that it won’t work out and we’ll never all be able to hang out again!
Lindsay says
MATCH ME!
I only play matchmaker when I get a good feeling about the two people. It doesn’t happen often and the turnouts have been magical!
Aaron says
MATCH ME!
Lauren says
Match Me!
I hooked up MY best friend with my husband’s best friend… and now they’re engaged! ZING!
WendyMI says
MATCH ME! How fun.. I am going to have to go explore!
I’ve played matchmaker, but only to a certain extent. I have had a couple of occasions where I have invited two friends that I thought would be perfect for each other to the same event and then kind of let things happen. I didn’t set them up on an official “date” or blind date. Much less stress and they were able to act normal around each other.
Jillian says
MATCH ME!!
I’ve played match maker plenty of times and it’s never worked out.

Match me!
I set 2 friends up and it lasted over a year!
Megan says
MATCH ME!
My matches never work out.

Adrian says
MATCH ME!
I know more single guys than gals so I’ve never had the chance!
Jenn says
MATCH ME!

MATCH ME!
I avoid matchmaking; Inevitably all eyes (and complaints) have turned to me when things didn’t work out.
Melanie says
MATCH ME!
I could sooooo use this for some art in the new house. The matching tool is so cool!
Megan says
match me!! I’ve never played matchmaker…sounds risky!
Katie says
MATCH ME!
No matching for me! All of my female friends are too awesome for some of the guys that I know. ;)
layne says
Match Me!
I never try to play matchmaker…I know better than to try and get involved in people’s love lives!
Alex says
MATCH ME! I played Matchmaker once with a couple of friends of mine and they’ve been happily married for 3 years now!
Rebecca says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never played matchmaker, but I owe my college roomie/BFF for introducing me to my hubby!
Bree says
Match Me!! I have tried playing matchmaker and they just didn’t quite work out. I now would rather potential matches to the same functions and hope they hit it off, but without them knowing.
susan miller says
MATCH ME!
Forever the matchmaker but not much success lately!
Loving seeing the progress of the new young house!
Dani.Phillips says
MATCH ME!!
I am trying to set up my sister-in-law with my husband’s friend. My husband does not disagree with the match, but won’t help me play match maker.
On another note, my college friend wanted me to help set her up with a mutual guy friend. 4.5 years later I married that mutual guy friend….oops.
Robin C. says
MATCH ME!!! My best friend set me up w/her boyfriend’s friend. They broke up long ago – but we’ve been married for 14 1/2 years now…
Kate S says
MATCH ME!!!
My hubby and I matched up one of my girlfriends and one of his guy friends. They’re still dating, and living together, a year later. And by matched up, I mean we invited them to the same party. They probably deserve the credit.
Stefani says
MATCH ME! I’ve never played Matchmaker and would probably be terrible at it!
Michelle says
MATCH ME!
Right now my best friend and my boyfriend’s best friend are both about to attend grad school in Cambridge. We’re toying with the idea of pushing them for some pub dates…
Bronwyn says
