***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.

I think all of our friends are married, so no matchmaking necessary! Now the song from Mulan is in my head though :)
Kandace says
Match me!
I’ve never tried to be a matchmaker before…only in my head.
SarahM says
Match Me! I have played matchmaker. My fiance and I matched up my sister and her now, husband. I would call that a success.
Clare says
Match Me!
I played match maker one time and one time only. My best friend went out with my boyfriends best friend and decided she liked another one of our friends instead. It was messy and I promised never to do it again. I may made it possible for 2 people to “bump” into each other but never a set up after that debacle.
Karen F says
Match Me!
I have never played matchmaker – too stressful!
Cassie says
MATCH ME!
What a neat idea – will definitely check it out.
No matchmaking here!
Amanda says
MATCH ME!
Sometimes I do try to “casually” have two friends meet, without either of them knowing my secret plan….
Caitlin P. says
MATCH ME!
One of my aunts loves to play match-maker and really she shouldn’t. She tried matching my Mom up after her divorce 2 separate times. The first time she failed to tell my mom that the guy was 20 years younger than her (closer in age to me than to her, eww!) The second time was with a guy who disappeared after the second date…only to be seen a few weeks later on the nighttime news for insider trading. He was sentenced to some serious prison time.
Josh says
MATCH ME!
My mom tried to play match maker once with one of her friend’s daughters. She was really nice and we are great friends but it wasn’t a love connection! Haha
Shannon says
MATCH ME!
I’ve tried being a matchmaker many many times. I’ve never succeeded. Maybe I should take the hint. ;)
Carol S. says
MATCH ME!
My boyfriend and I were set up by a friend. It has worked out wonderfully!

Match me! Never played a matchmaker but I certainly have been “matched” – with a guy almost a foot shorter than me! For prom! So awkwardddd.
Kate says
Match me!
Anytime I’ve tried to match/been matched it’s always ended in disaster!
phoebe says
Match me!

Match me please. My husband and I set up with his cousin with my aunt’s neighbor and they are still together.

Match me!
I was a match maker a few times. The operative word in that last sentence….was!
Johnna says
MATCH ME!
I used to be my friends favorite matching project. Yuck. Glad those days are long gone!
Nikkidd says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never really played matchmaker, but I guess my friends did sort of try to get me together with my high school boyfriend and that lasted 3 years, so I guess it wasn’t a completely awful experience, though I have a feeling this service from art.com would be much more appreciated down the road!
Martha says
Match me!
I set up my brother and a friend. The relationship went well for awhile, but ultimately died a timely death. They’re still friends, so that’s good.
Laura says
MATCH ME!
I fixed up my college roommate and her husband = still married after 15 years.
kschurrer says
MATCH ME! I’ve never tried to play matchmaker, nor do I plan on trying. Better for me to just stay out of it….

MATCH ME! I always have great ideas for who should be matched, but never have the initiative to make it happen.
I really want to win this giveaway!

MATCH ME, will ya? :)
Tara says
Match Me!!
I tried to match up a girlfriend in college with a good guy friend I knew in my hometown. They were together for several years and then when he proposed she bailed. I felt horrible and my relationship with Jonathan was never the same.
Bryn says
MATCH ME!
Yes, I’ve tried to set up 2 sets of friends…both not so much love connections! I’m better at setting up rooms…
Courtney says
MATCH ME!!! and no, I try to run from match making…I don’t want my friends to blame me for bad results! However, a lot of my friends don’t practice this same rule.
Amanda says
Match me! I’ve sworn off of matchmaking. It almost always backfires.
Tori says
I have tried matching with absolutely NO success!
Nan says
MATCH ME!
My husband and I were set up by mutual friends. Clicked immediately. After we were married, we realized that we had actually met two years earlier, but left that meeting with decidedly unflattering impressions of each other. So glad we got the second chance!
Dara says
MATCH ME!
I don’t think I have ever tried to play matchmaker….Actually, I did once, but they never went out. Guess that failed.

Match me! I tried to play matchmaker for my sister once; it didn’t work out but it did lead her to meet her current boyfriend!
Sandra says
Match me! My little brother and I tried for the longest time to set up one of my really good friends with one of his friends but they were NEVER single at the same time. my friend is now married but his is not.
I know this wasn’t part of the entry but we are moving to a new, bigger house next month and we will need new art (esp since we barely have any out now!).
