***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 had people try to match me up, it always ended horribly.
Amy says
Match Me!
One of my best friends set things in motion for my husband and I.
At the time it was terribly embarrassing, but I am grateful now :)
Emily says
MATCH ME, please. While I have never been a matcher or matchee, I wouldn’t be opposed to being a matcher (my husband would have a problem if I was the matchee!). In my/our life right now, I don’t have any good potential matches.
CaseyTS says
Match me!
I was trying for about a year to hook up two of my friends, when one of them started dating someone else… who I now adore. That’s literally as good as I ever got at matchmaking!
Erika says
Match Me!
My sis in law matched me up with her brother…my husband of 5 years in August.
katie says
Match Me! This is an awesome giveaway… and pretty perfect for me considering my husband and I were set up… by our moms! It’s true! They high fived at our rehearsal dinner after giving a little speech about our set up.
Brandi says
MATCH ME!
I tried it once, it was an epic fail, so I’m done playing matchmaker…for now :)
BethAnn says
MATCH ME!!
My cousin played match maker on me and my Now husband! Success!
Meggan says
Match Me!
My husband and I like to try to play matchmaker, but we try to keep it subtle. Well, I do…him not so much. I can’t remember if we have had any successes, but we haven’t had any nuclear failures either, so we will probably keep trying.
Jessica Cav. says
MATCH ME!
Well, my husband and I did meet on Match.com 8 years ago, and we’ve been married for 6 years…so it worked :)
Dulce says
MaTcH mE!
I have played the match making game both ways. Been matched, total disaster. Matched up co-workers and tadaaaa one of the couples just got married and the other is still going strong. :)
Sally says
MATCH ME! I’ve never matched up a couple, but I did match up my brother and sister-in-law with their wedding venue.
Amy says
Match Me!
I’ve never been the matcher or match-ee (wow – that looks strange in print!)
Nicole says
MATCH ME!
I’m a great matchmaker. Two happily married couples because of me!
Amy says
MATCH ME! I’ve never done the matching or been the matcher, but my parents met through a blind date and are still together! My sister and her husband were also matched through a common friend and are so happy!
Kirstin says
Match Me!!!
The Ex and I introduced his old High School friend to my little sister, 10 years ago, they just had their 2nd baby and have been married 5 years!
erin says
MATCH ME!! Match making is a world I think would fall completely out of balance if I were step foot in it…it’s probably best to leave match making to the pros and keep my clumsy self out of it!
Sally says
Match Me!!!
I’ve never tried matchmaking.
Cristin says
Match Me!
I introduced two friends and they barely said three words to each other. Total failure!

Match me! I’ve never played matchmaker or been set up.
Lauren says

I’ve never tried matchmaking and I’m not sure I ever will! Love this giveaway! :)
Stasi says
Match me!
Casey says
Match Me!
Me and my husband were unofficially matched. When we worked together, everyone in our office would say you two should go on a date, and we eventually did. That was 9 years ago, we’ve been married for 5.
Angela says
Match me! I’ve never done the matchmaker thing. I’d hate to see the results if it was a poor match.
Erin L. says
MATCH ME!!!
I have a wonderful husband as a result of my friend and her husband playing matchmaker! They liked the idea of their best friends getting hitched to make hanging out that much easier!
Amber says
MATCH ME!

Kara says
MATCH ME!
I’m an aspiring matchmaker for a friend who was recently divorced. Haven’t found the perfect rebound feel-good fling yet, but I’m looking. :)
Liz S says
Match Me!
Once, and only once, I tried my hand at matchmaking. My friends Brandon and Melissa are now happily married! I decided to quit while I was ahead, cause nothing is better than a 1-0 record.
kim says
Match me!
My hubby and I met on eHarmony, so we kind of matched ourselves…

MATCH ME!
My attempt at matching flopped.

MATCH ME!
I’ve never seriously played match-maker but my husband is pretty successful at it!
Stephanie says
MATCH ME!
My good friends tried to play matchmaker with me in college once by inviting both me and this guy to a Thanksgiving party they were hosting. That guy and I are about to get married! So don’t hate on your matchmakers – sometimes they actually do get it right!
Gina says
Match me!
I played match maker twice. One couple did not last, but they remained friends. The other is happily married with two kids.
Sonja says
MATCH ME! I’ve tried before, but never again. Well, maybe that’s not true…I probably would if it was really a perfect match.

Match Me!!

Allison says
Match ME!!! I’m responsible for two epic and successful matches!
Janelle says
Match Me!!!
My BFF in college (& still to this day) matched me up with this guy she was in high school with. The only problem was that he was in the military, stationed in Germany at the time, so it would be months before I would see him. When he came home on leave, we went out a few times and I wasn’t sure it would work. One night my friend called me to pass along a message from the guy (he was on his way back to Germany). He told her that if I didn’t have a boyfriend when he got back, he was going to sweep me off my feet and marry me! Well, he did and we are still going strong, 14 + years later….and my friend doesn’t let me forget it! LOL
Karmen says
MATCH ME!
I played matchmaker with my best friend and my husband’s best friend! They have been married 4 years and have little girl on the way!
Double-dating and vacations are a blast! :)
