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.
- 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 for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

When cooking, I usually look up a bunch of recipes for what I want to make (for example last night I made fish tacos) and just see which ingredients and techniques a lot of recipes have in common. Then I just wing it from there! (the tacos were great!)

Beth says
Guide Me!
I like seeking guidance in almost everything I do because I’m a protectionist and want to make sure I do things right! I’m also very indecisive so this would be a great thing because I’m often paralyzed by indecision, especially when it comes to decorating!
Piritta says
GUIDE ME! I use a GPS when driving (what would I do without it!), cook books/recipes from the internet for cooking, advice from all kinds of sources for rearing our dog and baby bunny and definitely this site for decorating our new home! In general I google -everything-, as I like to find out about things before doing them and since I’m curious about most things I see/hear about :).

Cooking. And I’m way better at reading a recipe the first time and making the dish great. The second and third times usually leave a little taste to be desired…Weired, eh?

Anna says
GUIDE ME! I am currently working to get my little space to look and feel like a home and I feel like I have only sort of found “my style” so I could definitely use a helping hand and some professional input. I am doing everything on a teensy tiny budget so I am learning to DIY things and it’s not always easy.
Seeing how many people entered this drawing I don’t think I’ll win but I’d sure feel like royalty if I did ;)
