***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.

Match me!
A.Hansen says
Match Me!
I haven’t tried to match anybody up since high school. A couple of those relationships actually lasted pretty long, but nothing permanent, so I think I’ll stick to my day job.
Kate says
MATCH ME!
I’ve tried to set up friends in the past! It didn’t lead to love!
Caitlin says
MATCH ME!!
I’m too scared of someones feelings getting hurt to ever play match maker! Plus… I really don’t think you can predict who will hit it off!
Susie says
MATCH ME!
Michelle says
Match me! I don’t know about playing matchmaker, but I need some stuff for the walls in my sons room!
Christine says
MATCH ME!
I’m not a matchmaker. My mother-in-law does enough of that for my sister-in-law :)
Ruth P. says
Match me!
A client tried to set me up recently… he never called. Oh well!
Katie C says
MATCH ME!
I once tried matching up a close friend with my boyfriend’s cute amigo… as my man, my friend and I were walking into the party we saw Rico Suave making out with another girl on the hood of a car. Needless to say, the rest of the night was a little awkward.
Kimberly says
MATCH ME!
I have never, ever been successful at playing matchmaker.

MATCH ME!
I try to stay out of it!
Clare says
Match me!
I’m definitely not cut out to be a matchmaker.
Bethany says
Match me!
As the only single person in my group of friends right now, I’m constantly trying to be matched up by my friends. I’ve only played matchmaker once and will never again. It did not turn out so well.
jolene says
MATCH ME!!
My friends played matchmaker two times. Neither time was successful. Both were awkward and uncomfortable.
Steph says
MATCH ME!
My hubs is more of a matchmaker than me – he’s always trying to get people together, I’m more in the camp of letting them figure it out themselves! :) Best wishes to all who have been successful!
sarah b says
match me!
i’m not a matchmaker, and haven’t even tried…i guess because i wouldn’t want someone to do that to me!
Jess says
MATCH ME!
i’ve never played matchmaker…
JennyB says
Match me!
I’ve never been a matchmaker, but someone set up my husband and me. Needless to say it worked!
Julie says
MATCH ME!
I’ve tried a few times … no more!

Match Me! I was set up unknowingly by a friend and it turned out we had already met briefly before, now 7 years later we are married.
Aimee says
MATCH ME!
Nope, no matchmaking here. I wouldn’t even want to try!!
Jessica Hood says
Match me!
Amy S says
MATCH ME! My husband and I were actually set up by a mutual acquaintance. The match maker didn’t even know either one of us very well… maybe that is the key to success!
Alison says
MATCH ME!
Havn’t been a matchmaker or been matched :)
Michelle says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never really played matchmaker. I made some suggestions here and there but that was the extent of it.
Brooke says
MATCH ME!!
I’ve never tried my hand at match making, prob b/c my friend tried once for me in college and it was one of the worst dates ever…so don’t ever want to put someone I LIKE in that position if at ALL possible ;)
Abby Kozel says
MATCH ME!!!
I was “accidentally” matched when I was a bridesmaid in my BFF’s wedding. She’d been wanted to set me up with someone…anyone since I’d met her. At her wedding, I was aisle-buddies* with a groomsman (her husband’s hometown friend). She’d never thought of him as an option, but we hit it off! …And (almost) 2 years later we’re living together. Ahhhh <3
*aisle-buddies: my term for the bridesmaid and groomsman who walk down the aisle together
Lynne Hobbs says
MATCH ME! No way would I ever try to be a matchmaker.
Amanda says
Match me! My husband and I are the guinea pigs to a matchmaker. It was success!
megan says
MATCH ME!
My aunt once tried to set me up. It was not the best experiance of my life. He was my exact opposite – and not in a good way… That’s my sole experiance with ‘matchmaking’
Hayley says
MATCH ME!!
I’ve never actively tried to match anyone up, however, I have encourged a few shy guy friends to go for it with girls they were already crushing on (when I knew the girl was crushing on them too.)
RC says
Match me! Match me up with some Art.com art! :-)

Weird computer glitch… I played matchmaker once and they hated each other. So apparently I am not a good one :)

Tracey Bartula says
MATCH ME!
I try to match friends all the time, but no success…. YET…..

MATCH ME!
Never been a part of the Matchmaker scheme. We always just did group hang outs.
Jessica says
Match Me! I have tried, but it never worked out long term for anyone :)
Jen says
Match me! I love art.com, I’ve got a full cart ready to go.
Haven’t tried to play matchmaker myself, but I do tell everyone I know to try eHarmony since it worked for me. I’ve had a couple of friends who have met their husbands that way as a result :)
Erica says
MATCH ME!
Once I think I was introduced to someone under the impression they were matching me up, but I didn’t realize it! Oops!
This match feature on this site seems so cool, I can’t wait to play with it…
-Erica
Amanda says
Match me!
I try it all the time, but very rarely works.
Elizabeth says
MATCH ME!!
My friend played matchmaker for my husband and I. Whenever my best friend would come into town she would invite a mutual acquaintance to hang out with us. After years of her inviting him out with us and him asking me on dates my heart changed, we became friends, started and have been happily married for two years now! :)
Moriya says
MATCH ME!
Never tried. I don’t think I want that kind of pressure!
Ronica says
MATCH ME!
Erica says
MATCH ME!!!!
I’ve never (successfully!) been match made but I have tried (unsuccessfully!) to match make some people….guess its not my calling!
Jenny says
MATCH ME!
My best friend from college has been talking about this guy who she claims would be perfect for me for the past four or five years…only problem is that he lives in another state. We finally got to spend time together recently after hearing about each other off and on for all this time…and I think I’m in love! :)
Lis says
Match me!
I’m definitely not a matchmaker, but I’ll admit I’ve watched more than a fair share of Millionaire Matchmaker :)
Aimee says
MATCH ME!!! Every wall in our new house is naked – we need a matchmaker!!
