***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 think I’m the most amazing matchmaker but my friends don’t. I’m always shocked when they don’t click.
Amanda says
Match me!
My now husband and I tried to set up my twin sister and his best friend J once in college. It was not meant to be. Turns out J is the “soul mate” of my sister’s now husband. So we were sort of right that J would be in her life. :-)
Olivia says
Match me!
This would totally solve my current art problem for my living room.
My best friend in college matched me with my husband. We have been married for 5 years and are even more in love now than when we started! I owe her big time!
Anne G. says
MATCH ME! I am currently trying to set up my husband’s friend (a very tall woman) with my friend (a very tall man)! They are sooo much alike in every way that I can’t imagine they won’t fall for each other. On the other hand, if “opposites attract” then my plan may backfire.
Angie says
MATCH ME! My husband tried playing matchmaker by setting up my sister twice with his friends. Neither worked out but she did find her husband all by herself. Happy Ending!
Emily says
MATCH ME! I’ve never tried to play matchmaker but would love to have the chance!

Match me!
I’ve never really tried to match anybody up seriously!
Kim says
MATCH ME! I am not a matchmaker, but my hubby seems to have a knack. He introduced two of his friends a year and a half ago and they are getting married in October.
mel zeiger says
MATCH ME!!!! My husband actually tried to match me up with a friend of his before we started dating :) “here’s his number if ya want to call him” me: “why would I call him?” husband: “he likes you” me “oh, well that’s awkward, I like you” husband “oh, wow, well, don’t call him then” and the rest is history :)

Charity says
Match Me!
Matchmaking – worst experience ever!
MacKenzie says
Match Me!
Nope, never tried it and I don’t think I’d be good at it so I probably won’t anytime soon.
Amy says
MATCH ME! I’ve never been the match-maker, BUT I will be getting married in less than two months because someone thought to play “match-maker” for me!
Erin says
Match Me!
I’ve never really tried to play matchmaker…and since I got married 7 years ago at 19, no one every matched me up either!
Loc Uyen Nguyen says
MATCH ME! I tried match making once and the friendship ended up bad…but then the 2 ppl I matched are getting married soon so I guessed it worked out well. The guy was furious at me for telling the girl that he was madly in love with her ….!
Jamie says
MATCH ME! No matchmaking for me!

I’ve never played matchmaker, but I did find my boyfriend on Match(.com), so take that how you will…
Vilija says
MATCH ME! I have been playing matchmaker for several of my friends. Long distance even! One friend of mine kept picking the wrong guys to date and started looking online. I love the internet because it gave me a look at who she was attracted to and also helped me clear a few gentlemen from her list of potentials. I remember feeling especially proud when a male friend of mine told me that I was the only person he trusted to set him up because I just ‘got’ him.
Clare says
MATCH ME!
My husband tried playing matchmaker between his best friend and my best friend and while they are still friends, the attraction was not there. Our loss!
Ngoc says
MATCH ME! My set ups never worked!
Jennifer T. says

shevy says
MATCH ME!
I have tried to play matchmaker before and i did not work out!
Karen J says
MATCH ME! … I used to try to play matchmaker with my sister, but my “ideal” guys were lawyers or accountants and her’s were more the harley rider and bartender types so, needless to say, none of my “matches” ever took!
Stacey says
match me!
Sheri says
MATCH ME!
I am a very successful matchmaker!
Katie says
MATCH ME!
I never officially matched anyone up but thought that I had pretty good intuition when it came to figuring out who liked who. Not so much, my (now) husband had a crush on me for a long time before I figured it out….good thing I did though! ;)
Mary says
Match Me!
Only once or twice, always bad choices :(
Linden says
MATCH ME!
I have been on one blind date in my life by a family friend… And I’m marrying him in 2 months! I’d say it worked pretty well for us! Sadly, we’ve tried setting up friends (we have sort of a “pay it forward” mentality) and we don’t seem to have nearly the same skill as our matchmaker did!
Trude says
MATCH ME! I played matchmaker for my BFF with the roommate of the guy I was dating at the time. They’re still together, my ex and I aren’t, but I couldn’t be happier for my BFF! :)
Jeanne says
Match me!! I’ve tried to play matchmaker for the same person twice. Failed. Never again :)
Leah says
MATCH ME!
Ah, love. Who can predict it’s twisting ways? Not me, that’s for sure!
Now if you want to talk decorating, I can make matches all day~ ;)
Sara says
Match Me!
I’ve never played matchmaker, at least not seriously.
Lanna says
Match me!! :)
Sarah T says

Match me (pretty please!)
Hannah P says

My friend wanted another couple for her couple, and matched me with his best friend…what a horrible idea!
Vanessa says
MATCH ME!
I always try to play matchmaker…I have never succeeded though!
Megan S. says
Match Me!
I have never tried to play matchmaker. Maybe I am just not good at reading people, but I would never be able to tell if someone would be a good match for someone else.
Brandy says
“MATCH ME!”
I try to play matchmaker and it never works. :-(
