***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.
Sarah Johnson says
MATCH ME! I’ve never played matchmaker before, but technically my husband and I met through a mentor of mine who “matched us together.” Obviously, it was the Lord’s plan, but she definitely takes the credit!
raychelirene says
Match me!
I think I tried once, which means it probably didn’t work out if
i can’t remember it!
Liz says
MATCH ME!!!
I set up my roommate with a friend of mine for a semi-formal dance in college…and now they’ve been married for three years. So i guess I’m a successful matchmaker!
B @B Getting Hot says
Match me!
I like to take credit for some of my friends successful unions, but nope I’m not really a matchmaker.
Tricia Gascoyne says
Match me!!!!!
Madeline says

I don’t have any match making stories. I wish I did..hmm maybe I should work on that!

Kate (and Ben) says

Match me! I am happily responsible for matching my sister with her now-husband! He has been a wonderful husband to her!
Grace says
MATCH ME! I may have dabbled a bit in matchmaking in the middle school/early high school days but they were never a long term success. I did matchmake myself one studly husband though, back in 8th grade. :)
Kylie says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never been a matchmaker before, but I’ve been on a few awful blind dates.

MATCH ME!
I have never been matched, or made one. But I’m still happily married… :)
Korie says
Match me!
I’ve never given matchmaking a real effort, and I don’t recall being matched up to anyone, so I’ll have to say no on all counts.
But I love Jane Austen’s “Emma” :)
Liz says
MATCH ME:)!!!
Laurie says
MATCH ME!
Unbeknownst to me (or him) my friends were all contriving ways to get me and a guy they all knew together. 7 years in love later, I say “thank you” and “I’m glad I didn’t know at the time”, I might have tried to stop them!
Haley says
MATCH ME!
Never attempted, but I do have ideas. I’m just always hesitant because one person I usually don’t know super well and what if I’m completely off base?
Jennie says
MATCH ME!!!
No matchmaker games for me!!
Pam M says
MATCH ME!
No matchmaking for me – those days are long over.
Ashley says
MATCH ME!!
I played matchmaker for the first time last summer. It wasn’t easy getting the two of them together. Things didn’t go anywhere after our first double date. A couple of months later I convinced them both to go on a two day amusement park trip with my husband and myself. It worked, and they’ve been together for nearly a year now! There is even talk of marriage. Eee!!
Katharine says
MATCH ME!
No, I’ve never played matchmaker, one of my friends tried several times to match me up with his buddies. After the second epic fail I told him he was barred permanently from matchmaking!
AliP says
MATCH ME! I’ve never played matchmaker!
Brooke says
MATCH ME!
I have set up several friends on blind dates and despite the best of intentions, not one of them has ever worked out. Alas, I’m a matchmaker wannabe.
Laura says
“MATCH ME!”
I’ve had a couple people try to match me up with someone but it didn’t work out.
Jenn says
MATCH ME! My sis-in-law just got married to a man she was matched up with. It was totally meant to be!

MATCH ME!
I try to play matchmaker all the time. Nothing has worked out yet and my friends hate it, but that won’t stop me! :)

MATCH ME! I introduced my best friend to my boss over 30 years

Match me!
Also my best friend introduced me to my fiancé so I’d say she did well! :)
Jessica says
Match Me!
Yup, but it was an epic failure ;)
Liz says
MATCH ME! I was matched up once…dated him for 7 months…it was a bad idea. On the other hand, I tried Match.com and met my husband!
Erica M says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never had to be on either end of matchmaking!
Megan says
MATCH ME!
Yes, I have played matchmaker… I tried to set up my husband (obviously, before he was my husband) with a friend of mine. They actually dated for a while but I guess he had a crush on me all along. I finally noticed and now we have been together 12 years and have a house, a dog, and two kids!
Aimee says
Match Me! I play match-maker all the time! Not really as successful as I would hope to be :(
Katie says
Match me!!
I can’t even get my socks to match….no bueno.
Amelia says
MATCH ME! (please! my walls need some serious help..)
I had one semi-successful matchmaker mission.. I got two friends of mine together and they lasted about three years, had some good times and all that before they grew apart. I guess I consider that successful..
Lauren says
Match Me!
Luckily I never needed anyone to play matchmaker for me. And I would never do that, the movies should be warning enought hat it doesn’t really work.

MATCH ME!
My husband and I played matchmaker a few years ago for his best friend and they hit it off and got married in less than a year from when they first met! We were shocked but wayyy excited! At their wedding reception the father of the bride asked us to stand up and we received a standing ovation from all the guests. Good times!

MATCH ME!!!
A close friend and I always talk about “matching” our grandkids! When her youngest granddaugter was born, I sent a picture of my youngest grandson with the title: Marie’s future husband….
