***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.

My coworker set me up with her son…needless to say, it was a total fail (whatta nerd!). I politely refused a second date with him, but regardless, his mom hardly spoke to me for another six months afterwards.
Maureen K. says
MATCH ME! A couple of my very good friends met at my 27th birthday party after I had desperately been trying to set them up. They are still together, five years later!!

Match Me!!
My roommate in college told me I would be a good math with this guy who had moved in across the hall… I went over to meet him and came back to my roommate saying “Never set me up with anyone, there is no way I would ever be into HIM!”
… and now he’s my husband. True story. :)

Match Me!
I have never tried to play matchmaker, I’m way to scared of making a mistake!

Elizabeth says
MATCH ME!
Can’t say I’ve ever played matchmaker :-)

MATCH ME! I’ve had people try to play matchmaker for me, without luck! Essentially their criteria was, “you’re single” and “he’s single” ergo “you’d hit it off”…not so much!
