***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.

Kim says
Match me!
Jordan says
Match Me!
I have never tried to play matchmaker… but I would definitely see this matchmaker tool coming in handy for filling all of the artless walls in our home!
carolinaheartstrings says
MATCH ME up with that gift card please!!!!!
Cher says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never played matchmaker. I know better!
Maria says
MATCH ME! Never been a matchmaker, but maybe someday!
Mandy says
MATCH ME!
The husband and I are currently trying to play match maker with my BFF and a good friend of ours. I have been on a blind set up date before, and it was laughable :)
Rebecca says
MATCH ME!
I’ve thought about playing matchmaker many times, but I don’t think I’ve ever done it. I’ve only ever been “set up” on one date, and it was terrible.
Holly Austin says
MATCH ME!!! I once tried to match my best friend up with my now husband – I was dating someone else (I had never dated my husband before) and I wanted her to have someone too! I thought he was a good catch then, and I still think so :)
Tara says
MATCH ME!
Trying out the matchmaker for sure…we are decorating a nursery for our first baby. This would come in handy for ideas to matching bedding. And the gift certififcate would be useful to help fund the art work :)
victoria says
MATCH ME! I fail at matchmaking. I tend to try to match people up because I think it would be nice if so-and-so and some other so-and-so got together because they are both friends of ours. Never mind thinking if they are even compatible, or each others’ types. Whoopsie. And I refuse to give up on it either. :)
Carmen Ganjehsani says
Match Me! I do not ever play matchmaker, in fact I seem to doom most couples, because I’ll tell my husband in private – that seems like a strange couple – and usually a month later they are no longer together!
Katie says
Match me!
I’m definitely not a matchmaker, but I have an acquaintance who indirectly set me up with my boyfriend. She added him on facebook, and he then added me because he “thought I was cute.” When she saw us together a month or so later, she was thrilled to have worked some friendship magic.
Nate says
Match Me!
eva says
Match me! i’ve played a matchmaker but never with success!
Sadye says
MATCH ME – I don’t play matchmaker…but I will introduce people to each other and leave it at that!
Sophie says
MATCH ME!
I refuse to play match maker because I really have a hard time picturing people together. But I’d love to try some art matching! :)
Kristen Kestner says
MATCH ME!
Nobody has ever tried to play matchmaker with me because I have been with my husband since High School:)
Rebecca says
MATCH ME!
I love to watch Millionaire Matchmaker, but that’s as close as I’ve been to either side of matchmaking!
Paige Cotney says
Match me! I’ve been a match maker and they’ve been married two years now !
Sharon says
“Match Me!”
I am in LOVE with Art.com. I have multiple pieces around my home that came from them. I have recently been looking for a large piece to finish off a master bedroom reno. Still haven’t made up my mind so the match it may help.

Erika says
MATCH ME! I’ve never played matchmaker.
Lorin says
Match me! My husband and I were set up on a blind date 7 years ago and have been married for 5 years now! I’ve never returned the favor to anyone though!
Sarah Burch says
MATCH ME! I have played matchmaker before. I am a labor and delivery nurse and I hooked one of my fellow co-workers up with my brother. I figured they would go out and have fun, but wasn’t sure what would come of it. After the first date it was a match made in heaven. They were wed last year on 10-10-10. I have the best of both worlds now, I approve of my sister-in-law because I hand picked her, and she adores my brother!
Amber says
MATCH ME!
All my matchmaking tries have crashed and burned :(
Meredith says
MATCH ME!
I played matchmaker once… it started out great but a few months later it ended with their epic fight – which took place in my living room when they came over for dinner! Thank goodness I don’t have many breakables!
Lindsey says
Match me!
I introduced my best friend to my husband’s (then boyfriend) best friend. They have been married over a year, and my husband and I got to walk down the aisle again..as maid of honor and best man at their wedding :).
Lorraine says
Match me! I met my husban on Match.com :)

susan says
Match Me!
I set up one couple and now they are married with 4 kids!

Match me.
I am not a good match maker. I only encourage once a friend has found someone I think is a keeper.
Cate says
MATCH ME!
I’ve been on both sides of the matchmaking game, and it has never gone well!
Ashley says
“MATCH ME!” We have set up friends before. Never works out, then we loose one of the friends. Not doing that again.
lilcg says
match me! I try avoid all match making experiences (both for me and for others).
Christy says
MATCH ME!!
I tried once and it ended really bad, so I wont be attempting to play match maker again.
Cecily says
match me! My husband and I met on Match.com close enough!
Debi says
“MATCH ME!” Tried it a couple of times but I think it is better if they find someone on their own so if it doesn’t work out you don’t have to worry about who you can invite to the next party with the drama!!
Love you guys!
Angela E says
MATCH ME!
The furthest I ever played matchmaker was inviting 2 of my friends I know out with me to see if they hit it off. I felt like it was safe for me b/c if they didn’t, no big deal b/c they didn’t know I was trying to set them up…ps: it didn’t work out:)
Kelsey says
Match me! I’ve never played matchmaker nor had anyone play it for me!
Alisa D says
Match me!
Actually, my husband and I met through friends who played matchmaker. We’ve been together for nearly 8 years and married almost 5 years. So far so good. :)
Amanda says
MATCH ME!
I have tried to play matchmaker before, but my friends always seem to get into other relationships before I have the chance. Maybe it’s a sign…
Jane says
MATCH ME!
A friend and I decided to pull together everyone we knew and have a huge Happy Hour…My roomate happened to meet a guy I worked with and they got married on my birthday (not intentional, but what are the odds!) 17 years later and they are still happily married! YEAH!
Jodi says
Match Me! I set up a college girlfriend of mine with a boy from my high school, and they’ve been married for 12 years and have 3 kids!
Suzy says
MATCH ME!
Unfortunately, I have never gotten to play matchmaker.
Kelsey S. says
MATCH ME!
A friend I’ve known since we were 4 years old unintentionally played matchmaker for me and my husband. “I know this guy. You should meet him; you’d get along great!” She wasn’t trying to start a romantic relationship, but little did she know!
Maria D says
Match Me!
Trisha says
MATCH ME!
Never tried and never will.
Heather says
MATCH ME! :)
First of all, I laughed out loud when I read “Naked Wall Syndrome”– hilarious!
I’ve introduced people that ended up dating each other, but I never formally “matched them”– I just kinda nudged them in that direction :P
