***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 friend played matchmaker to get me and a mutual friend together…who I ended up marrying two years later! :)
Allison says
MATCH ME!! Never have, never will. No one would EVER have thought to match me and my husband.
Jenn says
MATCH ME!!!
I’ve never played match maker or was never set up. I tend to steer clear of the drama that comes with matchmaking.
Jesse says
MATCH ME!!!
My husband and I were matched up by a friend! :)
Beth says
Match Me!
I try not to be a match maker… it’s easier that way. :) I love this art.com feature, though!
Cari W says
MATCH ME!
I am always trying to match people up and it drives my husband crazy! I was successful at matching my best friend to my hubby’s best friend, and they are still together today, which is 3 years later!
Vidhya Sinnatamby says
Match me! My grandmother tried multiple times to play matchmaker with me, oh so and so has a son, that went to Harvard (or some Ivy League school) and work some job (that is supposed to sound exciting/exclusive). WHILE I HAD A BOYFRIEND. Years later my grandmother has grown to love my man! Just took a little while, but she finally stopped offering me email addresses, phone numbers, etc of random men :)
aliciajuliane says
MATCH ME!
I can’t wait to try the new match my image tool!
ashley says
MATCH ME!!
No personal experience with matchmaking, but my sister swears that she is responsible for about 15 happy relationships.
Sarah Barnes says
MATCH ME!
The man I’m marrying on September 3rd is somebody one of my friends introduced me to! We’re a match-gone-right! :)
Christine says
MATCH ME!!! I have a huge space over my sofa that is empty since I can figure out what to put there!
I am totally a matchmaker at heart! I am always thinking about who would be good together or trying to think of the perfect someone for a friend. But we matchmakers have to be careful to not make our single friends feel like they SHOULD be in a relationship in order to have a fulfilling life:) so many times I hold my tongue and just try to set them up through circumstances, with out actually saying so, ha!
Hannah N. says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never tried to play matchmaker, or been matched. Not sure if I’d attempt it either, not so sure my intuition is up to par for that job. :)
Betsy says
MATCH ME!
And please do better than the last time I was set up – a baseball game is no place to try a blind date between two shy people. Don’t think he could’ve left any faster. And I swear, I couldn’t walk on the bleachers because flip-flop season had just started up again, not because of the 2 beers!
Pam says
Match me! All my friends are married~
Stacey says
MATCH ME!
And no, I’ve never played matchmaker…although I have tried to play “breakmaster” in the past when one of my friends was with a guy that was totally wrong for her
Amanda says
“MATCH ME!”
My husband and I matched up our two best friends. They got married within a year and have been happily married for the past 7 years! Yeah us!
Andrew says
MATCH ME! Matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match… Nah, I leave that to Broadway.
Tara says
MATCH ME!
My husband and I were set up by two of our friends!
Kate says
MATCH ME!
I like to think I matched my best friend and her husband, because I introduced them at a party. :)
Ruth says
MATCH ME!
tara says
Match Me! Nope, never tried to be matchmaker. That new tool is really neat!
Jessica says
Match me!
Let’s just say the matchmaker should stick to their job and I’ll stick to mine :)
Alissa says
Match me!
I tried playing matchmaker once and I learned my lesson – never again!
renee says
Match Me!
No success on either end :(
Michelle H says
Match me. I stay out of the matchmaking business.
Azar says
MATCH ME!
In my experience, matchmaking goes very wrong very fast.
Tatiana says
MATCH ME!
In college I convinced a recently divorced friend to go out with another friend of mine as a re-bound date. It didn’t go well. I learned my lesson.
Jodi says
MATCH ME!
I kind of played matchmaker. I wanted my sister to sign up for online dating since she has no places to meet anyone, so I did her profile one day for her without her knowing… and now she’s getting married to a guy she started dating from the profile I did that matched her with him :)
Ellen says
Match me!
I’ve never tried to matchmake anyone, and no one has ever tried to matchmake me. I don’t think any of my friends could have tried to match me with anyone better than the match my husband is for me anyway!
Rachel B. says
Match me!
I’m an awful matchmaker. I’m completely blind to matchmaking disasters in the making and as a result have ceased all efforts.
Sarah T. says
Match Me!
I played matchmaker with a male friend from HS and a female friend from college… after her initially saying NO WAY.. they hit it off and have been married for 11 years.
:)
Sarah M. says
Match me!
Victoria R says
MATCH ME!
Miranda says
MATCH ME!
Melissa says
Match Me! And no, I try to refrain from matchmaking, although I make matches in my head, I try to keep them to myself :)
Emily says
Match Me!!!! Hmmm, I’ve never really tried to play matchmaker….unless you count myself….I matched myself to my hubs based on seeing him in a photgraph when we were both 15!
Liz K. says
Match me!
Sarah T says
match me!
Erin says
Match me!
I have never played matchmaker, well, at least not successfully.
Sara C. says
MATCH ME!
I tried to set up 2 people once, and although they totally hit it off, it never went anywhere. I guess I’m not meant to be a matchmaker
Johanna says
Match Me!
We DIDN’T match up one of my best college girlfriends with my brother-in-law’s best friend … small world!
Rachel says
MATCH ME!
The one time a friend tried to match me with someone it failed miserably. He was exactly what I was not looking for. Fortunately, a perfect match was made a couple of months later.
Jessica says
MATCH ME!
My friends and I never really tried to play matchmaker with each other–but I wouldn’t have been opposed to it. I think I could put together a pretty good match if I needed to. :)
Shawna says
MATCH ME!
My husband I played matchmaker with friends of ours. Who got married (yay!). Then divorced (boo!). We have since retired from matchmaking and are pursuing other interests.
Stefanie D says
match me
kelly says
“MATCH ME!”
Teresa says
MATCH ME!
We just moved into a lovely house and could use more art for the walls.
Everyone once in awhile I just introduce people and hope they’ll match, but nothing has stuck yet.
DawnSC says
MATCH ME!
I only play matchmaker if requested, otherwise I stay well away from that tendency. I will, however, have this song stuck in my head for the rest of the day. :)
Erin says
Match Me!
Haven’t played matchmaker yet!
Stacy says
Match Me!
I’ve never played matchmaker, not my area of expertise.
