It goes without saying that we’re big fans of decorating and design help through the magic of the internet. So of course we’re psyched that one of you is gonna score some customized assistance from My Design Guide. They tap into a network of real interior designers to help you out with everything from quick fix mini-consults (which come free just by completing their StyleFinder quiz) to full blown 3-D renderings with paint color picks, furniture selections, and a shopping list (see a sample here). The latter of which our winner will be cashing in on this week. Woot.
- PRIZE: A 3D Custom Room Design from My Design Guide (a $229 value)
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GUIDE ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about when you need guidance. Do you rely on maps or navigation systems to get you where you’re going? Recipe sites and books for cooking help? Friend and family input when it comes to relationship advice? Or pro assistance at the home improvement store?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 15th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere they have the internet! Yup, this one’s global, baby.

Dawn O. says
GUIDE ME!!! I need desperate help in the decorating department. I have all of the components but just cannot get everything to flow. So I use the internet and magazines to help. Our living room needs the most help as I am stumped with the fact that we have a plaid couch! yeah. tell me about it! :0) I have always wanted to ask for others advice through their blogs but feel funny to do so. So this prize would be a godsend!!

Guide Me!
– If I want to know if my cosmetics are safe I check them on the EWG’s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database (btw, good info on baby products too).
– I use Google Maps for showing me what the area around my destination looks like so that I know when I’m close (still use a GPS ;) ).
– When I’m in the mood for a new recipe the first place I go to is Jamie Oliver’s site – his Mushroom Risotto is awesome and easy!
– If I need information on gardening, plant or lawn information, I’ll check the websites of local nurseries for their advice and then go see them if they have what I need.
– I like to paint (fine arts) and my favourite book with guided lessons is “The Oil Painting Course You’ve Always Wanted” by Kathleen Lochen Staiger.

Deborah Gosling says
Guide me. I’m an over information seeker. Then I have too much information to make a decision. About a month ago our coffee pot when out — not a lot of time to make a decision about coffee pots when you NEED one THE NEXT MORNING. We were looking for a carafeless one and got a Cuisanart at BBB with a 20% off coupon and I LOVE IT. Keeps the coffee SUPER HOT.
