***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 can’t recall ever playing matchmaker for anyone else, other than joking around with some friends that our kids might grow up and marry each other.
Ashley says

Never tried it! :)

Set up people that are getting married the end of the year!
yvonne says
Match me!
Rachel says
MATCH ME! My hubby and I were set up by his mother, of all people (nothing against her – she’s wonderful – but who actually agrees to go on a date when the mom is the matchmaker?) Good going, Linda!
Leah says
MATCH ME! My bro gave my phone number to a fella we at the restaurant I served at knew only as “hot Logan.” Well long story short, “hot Logan” is now “my Logan” until death do us part.
Jennifer says
MATCH ME!! Never played matchmaker but the tv shows about matchmakers are always interesting.
Mandy Lynn says
MATCH ME! oh please, oh please!
My walls are so bare and white and in need of some beachy art!
That said, nope, haha I’ve never played matchmaker…unless furniture counts! ;)
Dani Yardley says
Match me!! I’ve played matchmaker! They are happily married with their second on the way!
Erin Lawley says

Cat says
Match me!
Angela S. says
MATCH ME!!!
Sara says
Match me! What a neat tool!
Jennifer says
I did play match maker, but not intentionally. I was planning on setting up my friend Rae with my friend Ron. I just happened to invite my friend Jeff to the bar too and Rae and Jeff completely hit it off. They were married two years later and are still happily married!!!
Sara says
MATCH ME!
Connie says
MATCH ME!
I’ve done a good job playing match maker when it comes to finding friends to fit each other. As for those who have tried to play match maker for my love life have been seriously fired!
Joy says
MATCH ME!
I am not a matchmaker, but one heckuva wing-woman :-)
Christine C says
Match Me! I’ve never tried playing matchmaker but I’m sure I would be horrible at it!
Bernadette says
Match Me!
You know, I don’t know why, even in a totally random game of chance, I usually see the 1500 mark with comments and think to myself “Self, this is not looking good.” I mean…totally random, why wouldn’t #1678 be as likely win as say # 102 eh?
I HAVE played matchmaker. And most of those folks are now divorced. BUT!! They got married so that should say something right? I may or may not have been matched up myself. With some dude. That I’ve been married to going on 3 years now. After we put up with each other for 3 years before that. Maybe…
LOVED the matches that came back for the Clara piece. That whole set was a gallery of fun all in and of itself.

Match Me!
I met my husband through our friends who played “match-maker” – I couldn’t be happier with the way things worked out! :)
Jenn says
MATCH ME!
I matched two different friends up and now their both talking marriage with their matches. My husband thinks I should quit my day job and go in to the match maker business.
Erin says
Match me! I’ve never played matchmaker.
Alicia says
MATCH ME!!!
Courtney says
Match me!
I met my husband because of a matchmaker. But it’s not what you think! One of my friends set me up with a co-worker of hers. We only went on one date and it didn’t work out, but I became friends with him. I met his roommate soon after that and we got married about a year later!
Jessi says
Match Me!
I tried to play matchmaker once – total failure.
Someone else tried to play on me. And I just celebrated my 1st anniversary with the guy, so I’d say it worked. =)
Sarah for Real says
Match Me!
Matchmaker? Nope and nope. I think it’s always fun to make your friends embarrassed and uncomfortable for an evening, but I just haven’t had the opportunity.
Beth huffstutler says
Match me! Please!
I have never played match maker for anyone, not yet!
Sabrina says
MATCH ME!!
My husband of 15 years and I were matched up by my best friend and his best friend when we were juniors in high school. We went out on our first date at their urging and have been together ever since! :)
Courtney says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never had any “real” matchmaking work out, but I found a great match ON Match!
Stephanie says
MATCH ME! My husband and I actually ended up together from this girl I used to work with playing matchmaker… She insisted that I should date this guy she knew, and I kind of blew it off… but then we did start dating…. and then we got married… so…. yeah……….
Mary says
Match me!!!
I could barely match myself, so I wouldn’t inflict my lack of match making skills on anyone else :)
Elyssa says
MATCH ME!! I’ve never matched anyone up, and no one’s tried to match me up…yet!
Aimee says
Match me!
My husband and I met on a blind date(matched by a friend). It turned out so great I tried my hand in matching up a few people…let’s just say I shouldn’t do this and have since stopped.
Ashley says
MATCH ME!
My father-in-law was my mentor in college and always wanted me to date one of his sons. When I finally started dating his eldest son we kept it a secret until we knew it was forever. Three boys, a minivan and ten years later we’re still in love. I guess father know best.
Tricia A says
Match me!!!!,
Chrissi says
Match Me! My best friend tried to play matchmaker once. It was a complete disaster. An epic fail. Let’s just say that there was only one date…because he was thrown in jail the next weekend for fighting at a wedding (over a 13 year old girl!), had both hands broken in the fight and when he got out had to move in with his mom because he couldn’t even zip his own pants! NICE! Needless to say, that was the first and only time she tried to play matchmaker for me!!
Alyssa says
MATCH ME!!! I tried once to set up a girl friend of mine with one of my hubbys old friends…not good! We decided to go to a haunted house…the guy was late to our house, we got a flat on the way to the haunted house, and the guy drank all night because he was “nervous”!! I’ll never try that again:)
Anne says
Match me! I’ve like to consider myself a matchmaker for 2 couples I know. One couple has been married for 6 years. (I met him first, and then we all became friends, and later they got together). The other couple, I got my friend a job at my previous employer. She then met her boyfriend (who just happens to be my husband’s boss). Needless to say the 2nd one is a little weird sometimes!
Shelly says
MATCH ME! never tried my hand at matchmaking…
Liz B. says
Match me. :)
Christy W. says
MATCH ME!! How cool is that. And no I could never be a matchmaker, I couldn’t handle the guilt if someone got hurt.
Kai says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never played matchmaker – in fact, I’ve always been very surprised when two people I know hit it off. I almost never see it coming.
Eileen says
MATCH ME! I’ve never played matchmaker!
Richard says
Match Me!! I have set up a few friends, and it worked out for a while for one couple, but he didn’t put a ring on it.
Lindsay says
MATCH ME!
lisa says
MATCH ME! I’ve never played matchmaker yet, but maybe one day I will for someone!:)
Molly says
MATCH ME!!!
I’ve never officially played matchmaker, but I always talk about people who I think look good together!
Kelley says
MATCH ME
I only played matchmaker once between a childhood next-door-neighbor and an adult girlfriend. My husband and I even joined them on the first date which was a lot of fun, but long distance kept it from going any further.
Erin H. says
MATCH ME!
My friend in high school tried to play matchmaker for me, but the guy she tried to set me up with was already secretly dating… me! We’re now married!
Vanessa says
