***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.

Lindsay says
MATCH ME!!
My friend tried to set me up with a guy, but I told her I wasn’t interested. I am now married to him! Guess I should have listened to her.

I don’t know if it counts, but I met my husband in a dream a few days before I met him in real life!
Tiffany says
MATCH ME!
I’ve played matchmaker a few times and had success and failure. One of my friends set me up with her brother and we’ve been together for a year and just recently purchased our first house! WOOHOO!
Nadia says
Match me!!! I tried matching up my BFF once with my husband’s buddy….didn’t work out ad magically as I expected, which my hubby totally predicted! Oops!
Erin says
MATCH ME!
Yes I’ve been set up…and I’m single still today, so obviously it wasn’t the best of matches! I’m still hopeful though…

Stefanie says
Match me!
My only attempt at matchmaking was a big bust… I set up my best friend with my at-the-time-boyfriend’s best friend. A great idea in theory, but in practice she got her heart horribly broken and I’m still not sure that she’s forgiven me completely! Luckily she loves me so she doesn’t hold it over my head too much.
Cecily T says
MATCH ME!
Nope, never even tried!
Ami says
Match Me!
I don’t usually play match maker just b/c people pushed into something don’t often enjoy the experience. But I am DANG good at calling a match. Odds are very good that I’m right about if they’ll work or not. It can be kinda fun. :)
Jennifer says
Match me!
My fiancee and I matched a co-worker of ours and one of my high school friends. They ended up beating us to the altar!
jackie says
Match me! My husband and I were matched up. Ten blissful years later, we still laugh about it.
Lauren Abernathy says
MATCH ME!
I am so nervous to set people up, because I am so afraid one or both of the people will end up hating me if it turns out bad. I did set up my best friend with my hubby’s best friend a few years ago – and they ended up getting married! But that was enough matchmaking for me. :)
Amy says
Match Me!!
My friend played matchmaker almost 6 years ago, and that guy is now my husband!!
Lauren says
MATCH ME!!!
The last time someone played matchmaker with me I married him :)

Kathy W. says
MATCH ME!
Nope. But I love the idea of finding art (that was previously unknown to you) that will look great in your space!
Heather says
MATCH ME!
A friend of mine actually matched me up with my husband! I’m really glad I trusted her, because I have a beautiful family now :)
cheep3r5 says
MATCH ME! Simply the coolest tool to have handy. Wow.
Rachael says
Match me!
Yes, I met my husband via match, but the more interesting story here is that when I was a senior in high school, I played Hodel in Fiddler on the Roof and sang “Matchmaker” with my sisters on stage!
Lisa says
MATCH ME!!
Never been a matchmaker….
Heather says
Match Me!
I only played matchmaker once and they are married now! Perhaps I should try again!

MATCH ME! Matchmaking always backfires. I’ll steer clear of that.

Nicola says
match me! Please.
Amber says
Match me!
After returning home from a few months overseas, one of my best friends fixed me up with her boyfriend’s best friend, Jon. Neither of us wanted anything serious, but now we’ve been together for nine years and celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary in September.

Laura says
MATCH ME!
I did play matchmaker once, for two friends interested in each other senior year of high school. They even went on to get married a year or so later…only to get divorced shortly thereafter. I don’t think I will be trying that game again anytime soon!
Tiffany says
Match me!
I met my husband on match.com so i guess someone did match us up… And thank goodness they did!
