***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!
My best friend from high school played matchmaker and set me and my now husband up 7 years ago
cc says
MATCH ME!
I never have set people up, probably because the couple of times in college I let someone do that for me, but only after they persisted. In the end, all I could say was that they must not have known me as well as they thought. Disaster!
Traci says
MATCH ME!
I am trying to play matchmaker right now for one of my best friends…hope it works :)
Kate says
Match me! My husband’s bachelor uncle matched us up, as well as my husband’s parents! At the University of Richmond, no less! Oh, how we miss Richmond…
Carolyn says
MATCH ME!!
I’ve been set up before…never worked out, but the latest was almost a go, only held off by distance! Oh well…next time?
sanam says
Match me!
Haven’t played matchmaker, yet…but I probably would if I knew the people would hit it off
Jamie says
Match Me! I have never tried to match anyone up before- probably because I have been on the other end and it was NOT a pleasant experience (though good for laughs).
Gannon says
MATCH ME!
I’ve tried to play matchmaker, but mostly my friends end up matching themselves successfully!

ZuZu says
MATCH ME!
Never tried matchmaking, sounds dangerous. ;)
Val says
MATCH ME!
Oy, I tried playing matchmaker once and it was a colossal failure. I felt so guilty for inflicting that level of awkwardness on two friends! Never again! Some people really do seem to have a knack for it though.
kristin says
MATCH ME!! I constantly dodge my match-making friends when they attempt to fix me up.

I have been matched and it has worked out well so far!
Caitlin says
MATCH ME!

L says
Match me!
I’ve been so notoriously wrong with the few friends who have asked me for relationship advice (e.g., “Buddy, I’m sorry, but I don’t think this is going anywhere and your last-ditch plan to get her back is not a good idea,” and now they’re happily married with three kids), that I try to stay way, way out of that arena
Rachel C says
Match Me!!!
Erin S. says
MATCH ME! My husband and I played matchmaker during our wedding weekend. It lasted a couple of months between my bridesmaid/friend from high school and my husband’s college roommate, but no success =(

MATCH ME!
samantha owens says

Josie says
MATCH ME!
I was set up with my husband! So in return, I tried to set up the matchmaker a few times… and that didn’t turn out so well…

MATCH ME!!! Never tried to play matchmaker because anyone who helped match me did such a poor job.

MATCH ME!
My friend tried to match me up and it was the worst date EVER!! No more matching (either way) for me!

Match me! I like to pretend I played matchmaker once, but really they were already interested in each other. Oh well, all’s well that ends well!
Heather Nash says
I have never really played matchmaker. Don’t think I would be good at it. I have had people try to match me up…. didn’t go so well.

i’ve tried, but so far, no dice!
Sandy says
“MATCH ME!”
Jen says
Match me!
I’ve only tried the informal matchmaker — invite them both to a party but don’t tell them about each other. It worked (for a little while).
Sheena says
MATCH ME!! Me? Matchmaker? Nope.
Sherry F says
MATCH ME!
My one and only attempt at playing matchmaker was hugely successful. I introduced a classmate to my best friend because I thought they would be perfect for each other and they were! They are now married with a beautiful little girl all thanks to moi. :)
Caroline says

Match me!
I have played matchmaker and it worked out very well. I matched the best man in my wedding with a girl that worked for me. That was 15 years ago and they are still married – they even outlasted my marriage!
