***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’ve never tried to play matchmaker, and I’ve never let anyone play matchmaker with me. I think I would be entirely too awkward on a blind date!
Melissa says
MATCH ME!
Six years ago, my college roommate decided to fix me up with a guy from her Psych 101 class during our first semester. She must have been on to something–I married him last summer!
tricia says
“MATCH ME!”
i tried to play matchmaker for my girlfriend! but she wouldn’t even let the date pay for her meal…so it didn’t work out. too independent i guess. i LOVE when a man pays for my meal…lol!!
Mary says
Match me!
I am forever trying to set my ex-boyfriend up with someone. I just don’t think the right person exists in this town.
On a side note, I hate it when someone tries to set two people up just because they are both single. They need to have things in common beyond their marital state!
Lisa C. says
Match me!
FirstCorinthiansThirteen says
MATCH ME!!! I totally want this. :)
Kate says
Match Me! I unintentionally made a match once after introducing 2 friends of mine at a party just because they were both there, but not specifically for a ‘match’. They’re now happily married for 4 years and give me credit for their match, though! :)
Virginia says
Match me! I played matchmaker once – my coworker + my boyfriend’s roommate. They had a good time on their date but he left for grad school shortly after so it ended up not working out.

MATCH ME!!
every single wall in our new house is naked and it is so sad to me.
i thought about playing matchmaker just this past weekend for my two friends, but on further reflection decided that those two probably wouldn’t really get along so well.
Amy says
MATCH ME! I have walls in need of serious help!
Playing matchmaker? Not so much in the people department. However, I love to match people with things I know they will love – Books, music, home decor items, you name it!
Melissa Irvin says
Match me, please!
I have played match maker on two occasions – both got married AND DIVORCED after several years and 2 children each! Never again.
I went on a blind date with a friend when I was in nursing school. Would never do that again!
Happily married for 18+ years!

A friend of mine, Valerie, literally pushed me in front of my now husband. I don’t know if that constitutes match making but I consider myself indebted to her. ;)

MATCH ME!!
My hubby and I were matched up by a friend of mine and a classmate of his, been together for almost 12 years now!
I convinced my hubby’s friend in to being the guy that “saves the day” and he ended up marrying the girl he “saved.” :)
zinna says
MATCH ME!
I did not play matchmaker but two friends met at one of our parties. They met again at our wedding. Now the two of them are married and have a beautiful daughter. I did not play matchmaker but they met because of me. :)
Bethany says
Match Me!
But don’t match me up with anyone in a dating sense. Those never work out well.
Mandy Smith-Thompson says
MATCH ME!
A dear friend matched me up in high school on a “blind date.” With a guy from our school that I had never met. Little did she know I had been crushing on him from a distance for some time! We have been together ever since the first time we saw each other…10 years, that is…married for 3 :) She did a great job!
Leah says

MATCH ME!
No fun matchmaker stories here, but the matchmaker on art.com is awesome! Off to try it out…
Melissa says
Match Me!
I always seem to date the guy with a bunch of friends asking me to hook them up with my “hot girlfriends.” Alas, the girlfriens are either taken or the guys are definitely not their types.
Megan says
MATCH ME!
My mom used to play matchmaker before I got married..glad those days are over.
Laura says
MATCH ME!
My husband and I were tricked into going on our first date. A mutual family friend said to me “remember that guy from my dad’s party well he wants you to join us for dinner”. I said ok. About four months into dating I said to him “you know I’m so glad that you asked them to invite me” to which he said “I didn’t ask them to invite you you asked them to invite me” So clearly we had been played. Luckily for them it worked out nicely!
Karen Perry says
