***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 was matched with my husband and we’re still going strong!!

I’ve never played matchmaker, nor have any of my friends played matchmaker for me.
Brenda Marsh says
Match ME please! I am forever trying to set somebody up!
Rebekah from Socal says

Angela says

JenniferA says
MATCH ME!!
and no – no match making here – I wouldn’t even Try!!!
Melissa T. says
MATCH ME!! I played matchmaker once, my freshmen year of high school, and the couple is still together 16 years later! I haven’t since and I don’t think I will…wouldn’t want to push my luck! :)
BTW…is that an itty bitty smiley face way down there at the bottom right? I thought it was something on my screen at first and tried to wipe it off!
k says
MATCH ME!
I met my fiancee when I was 12 and we began dating at 14. No matching for me!
Megan says
Match Me!
My friend Lauren was my matchmaker. She did an awesome job; I’ve been married almost 2 years now thanks to her!
Jillian says
MATCH ME!
We didn’t match them on purpose, but my sister and my husband’s best friend met when they were both in our wedding party – and they just got engaged last month! So we’ll take the credit anyways ;)
Liz F says
MATCH ME!
Maria says
Match Me! I’ve tried many times to play matchmaker…never seems to work out sadly.
Andy says
“MATCH ME!” – matchmaking never works!
Colleen says
Match Me!
I actually have been matched up before. It didn’t work out romantically but we had so much in common we ended up becoming friends.
Rebecca B. says
Match me! Never tried it and no desire too. Think my friends are happier that way :)
Corinne says
MATCH ME!
I don’t play matchmaker. Tried once, failed, and said never again. My one friend, on the other hand, seems to think that she’s awesome at the matchmaking game. She’s not. It’s extremely uncomfortable to explain to her when things just aren’t going to work out on a romantic level with the people she sets me up with!
Celina says
MATCH ME!
I’m always trying to set my single friends up. Only one success so far though…
natalie G. says
Match Me! I am a matching making failure, batting 0-4 on setting up various friends. I’d love this GC though as we just moved to a new house and have many bare walls!
Becca says
Match me!!!
Never played matchmaker!
Kristin staley says
MATCH ME… never played matchmaker
Tara F says
Match me!
Once at the bar I forced my two friends to sit in the corner together for 15 minutes or until they “realized they loved each other”. I even played the role of “security guard” to keep people away from them. Needless to say, it didn’t work out. :)
Wendy says
Match me. I played matchmaker once and it didn’t go so well so I will never try it again.
Danielle says
Match me! I’ve never played matchmaker or been matched.
Laura says
MATCH ME!
I’m going to lunch in six minutes with a guy I was set up with! Our first date was last night…safe to say it’s going well so far :)
Amanda says
“MATCH ME!”
I have never played matchmaker, although I put matches together in my head all the time!
Margaret Critz says
MATCH ME!
I had a friend try the matchmaker thing with me once. She definitely needs that day job!
Erin C. says
MATCH ME!
My husband and I were matched up by two of our friends. If it hadn’t been for them we never would have talked again after initially meeting each other.
Chris says
MATCH ME!
I am always, always trying to play matchmaker, and it tends to end in disaster (and one divorce, ick). So don’t ever listen to me if I tell you I know this amazing guy…
Charlotte says
MATCH ME!
In high school, I convinced my friend to go to our senior prom with a boy in our class who had a crush on her. They got married a little over a year ago!
eva says
Match Me!
My Brother in Law and a former friend dated. It ended horribly and I lost a friend. I will never ever set anyone up ever. Huge Fail.
Melody says
MATCH ME!!
I have tried matchmaker once before with my brother and a girl he used to date but lost contact with. She was also a friend of mine, when we reunited I set them up but it didn’t work out. I will just stick to my cake decorating and leave the matchmaking to destiny!
Vanessa says
MATCH ME! I have never played matchmaker nor been made a match, but this Match My Image tool is fun!
amber, this is the life says
MATCH ME!! I have never been matched up, but i did try to play matchmaker once. it didn’t work out so well haha. so i just stick to my day job now ;)
Kel says
MATCH ME! Someone tried to un-match me and my fiancé, telling him we weren’t right for each other. We’ll be happily married 18 years this December.
erica says
MATCH ME!
I don’t try. Not something I should be allowed to do!
Bethany says
Match me!!
Im not too bad of a matchmaker- I matched a co-worker with a friend of my husband- they got married last weekend, so I’d say it worked out really well!
Kylie says
Match me!
I have played matchmaker MAYBE two times. One of the couples recently got married. And the other was just plain ol’ awkward (and nothing came of it).
Jen says
Match me!
MJB says
Match Me!
I taught customer service classes at one job I had. I told my friends that a young woman in one class would be perfect for a young man in another class, but I’m not the type to try to set up something between people I barely know. Then I overheard the woman talking with her friends about this cute guy she saw in the break room but she was too chicken to talk to him. Yup, it was THAT guy. I told her to go for it. She still hesitated but I insisted that he was a nice guy and totally right for her.
Last I heard they were happy and living together. I didn’t match them up… just nudged them in the right direction.
Tara DeWeese says

Ash says
Match me!
I don’t play matchmaker. Things always get messy that way.
Kerianne says
MATCH ME! My friend invited a guy on a camping trip to set me up with. Not only did it not work out but then he was on the trip and I couldn’t stand being around him. What a waste of a weekend. Needless to say, she should stick to her day job.
Miranda says
