***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.

Kimberly says
{MATCH ME}
She loves music. He plays in a band. He’s goofy and funny. Her laugh is contagious. The story was perfect, yet the connection was not. It was a mismatch!

Michelle says
MATCH ME!
My roommate in college, along with her fiance would always try to play matchmaker for me (they never liked the guys I dated for some reason…)with dismal results. Third time was a charm though, we have been together for 16 years:) I played matchmaker for brother, he’s been married to my old co-worker for 13 years now and they have two beautiful daughters.
Jessi says
MATCH ME! I played matchmaker for a few friends once, 6 years later and they’re still together, so I’m still reveling in the success for now :)

Michelle C says
MATCH ME!
I’ve played matchmaker 3 times.. once it failed horribly, once they dated for years but had a terrible breakup, and once they dated, got married, and are going strong. 1 out of 3 isn’t bad, but I’m definitely not quitting my dayjob.
Miranda says
MATCH ME! My sister played match maker with me and now we are engaged!

Kate Stewart says
Match me!
For a few years before we started dating, I tried to match my now husband up (b/c he was such a nice guy) and couldn’t find him a nice girl…. so he ended up stuck with me. I’m a lucky gal!
Melissa says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never been matched up or played matchmaker, but my husband likes to think about people who should date. His pairings never make sense (to me), so I guess it’s just that he knows two single people.

MATCH ME! My husband and I were matched up, 30 happy years later! I have also made a match between co-workers, they will celebrate 2 years next month.

Bethany Davis says
MATCH ME!!!!
I have been the “match-e” more times than I ever care to discuss. I stumbled upon a guy last summer 3 times in about 4 days. We became fast friends and have been dating close to a year. We have so many parallels in our lives. I think my dad and grandpa had a little assistance in this one, or at least are watching down on me closely ;)
Anna says
MATCH ME!
My friend set me up on a blind date. 9 years later, and I’m happy to say I’m married to my perfect match!
Diana says
MATCH ME! Never been a part of any match-making efforts, but my mom and I love Millionaire Matchmaker, it just kills us.
Brooke says
Match Me!
I have been matched up, but it never really seemed to work, and thank goodness, because I found my husband on my own!
Lisa S. says
“MATCH ME!”
The last time someone tried to play matchmaker for me, they said the guy looked just like Richard Gere, NOT, more like Danny DeVito…YIKES!!!!
Jasmyn says

The last time I played matchmaker was with a co-worker and one of my husband’s friends. they went on several dates, but alas did not work out. I’m going to stick to interior design!

Match Me! Oh yes, I have been “matched up” and am now married to that man. The person who matched us up even matched up another couple who eventually had a baby born on the matchmaker’s birthday!
