Fab Freebie: Matchmaker, Matchmaker

 ***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?

ArtDotComGiveaway

  • 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.

    No real matchmaking here. I have made suggestions, but apparently they are way off.

    Definitely no matchmaking for me, but my friend Amy is, I believe, 2 for 2 on marriages because of her matchmaking skills.

    I’ve never played matchmaker and have never been matched…I guess it’s because my now husband snatched me up in highschool before I could be matched!

    Despite failed attempts in the past I’m a hopeless romantic so I’d probably try matchmaking again in the future.

    Match Me! My husband and I had a member of my bridal party and one of his groomsmen to meet at our wedding and start dating afterwards. Funny thing is that we told the groomsman that he would not be interested in my bridesmaid friend, and vice versa! They are still together almost 3 years later! Guess we are accidental match makers.

    I was “matched” in college to a guy I dated for almost 4 years. I was hesitant going into it for the same reasons that eventually broke us up. But it was a great 4 years.
