***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.

Cyan B says
MATCH ME!
I played match maker one time, and it ended horribly. During my “party-ing” days, I was out with my husband and a friend of mine. We ran into a friend of dh’s, who had another friend with him (wow, that’s a lot of friends). anyway, we fixed up my friend with dh’s friend’s friend. They ended up getting married. Within just a few months, she figured out that he was an alcoholic and they divorced shortly thereafter. NO MORE MATCHMAKING FOR ME!!! Yikes…
Kayla says

MATCH ME!
My old roommate was going to set me up with a guy she knew, but at the time I was tired of going on blind dates and declined the offer. Later I met the guy at a party hosted by my roommate (at our place) and now we are married!

Allison says
MATCH ME!
Ive set up a few friends on dates but more as a “let’s all go out and do something fun together”, rather than a “you would make the perfect couple” sort of thing.
Jim says
MATCH ME! Nope, but my wife has forced me to watch Millionaire Matchmaker and I feel like that has to count for something.
Kristina M says
MATCH ME! Nope, never wanted to worry about what might happen if things went badly!!

Match me, please! I am desperately in need of art! :)
Miranda G says
MATCH ME!
Right before I was going to be the recipient of a little match making, I told the match maker to hold off, because I had my eye on a another possibility. It’s a good thing too, because that “other possibility” turned out to be my future husband ;-)
Nikki W. says

Match Me! Although I’m not so in to matchmaking.

Courtney B says

My friends unintentionally matched me & my husband up at their wedding. I was a bridesmaid & he was a guest… talked every day since :)

I helped get a couple together in college, and they’ve been married for two years now!
Anna M says

MATCH ME! My then-roommates schemed to set me up with one of our mutual friends. Now my husband!

Becky says
Match me! I’ve never tried to match anyone up cause what in the world do I know about that! It would make me too nervous. And nobody has ever tried to hook me up with anyone either:)
Amy D says
Match Me
Stacey says
MATCH ME!
I matched myself to my awesome husband… does that count??
MB says
MATCH ME!
I never think anyone I know is good enough for my friends or those that are just would NOT work together. Oh well.
Jenni says
MATCH ME! No matchmaker for me. I never wanted to be the blame for/nor did I want to hear about anything bad that might have happened btwn the potential couple. Can you be a matchmaker and be completely left OUT of the circle?
Jen says
Match ME!
I’ve only thought about trying to match people up. My husband has been successful but he’ll tell you it only happened by accident. Seems like friend-friend intros have less pressure than “blind dates”.
Liz loves Cam says
MATCH ME!
I played matchmaker once in college and they ended up dating for over a year! …That is, until my friend showed his true colors, got drunk, and planted one on me. I haven’t given up helping my friends find someone to love!
Jacks says
MATCH ME!
I like letting love happen…No use in making people fall in love ;)
