***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.

Rachel says
Match me!
I tried to match off two friends the summer I worked in Yellowstone National Park (I’d just met my soon-to-be hubby there, so it seemed like everyone should pair off). Totally didn’t work out, but they’re still friends (with each other &, most importantly, ME!).
Colleen says
Match me!
If an obvious match ever arose, I’d play matchmaker, but so far I haven’t.
Gretchen says
MATCH ME!
Never played matchmaker.
Kendall says
“MATCH ME!”
I definitely have tried my hand at match making. I sat all of the young singles at one table during my wedding reception. I realized this year that was not the best idea. A few unrequited love situations popped up. Learned my lesson!
Steph says
MATCH ME!
I was once a matchmaker.. and they broke up in a week! yikes!
Jaime says
Match me… Inadvertently set up a couple because she was

Kaitlyn says
Match Me!
I would love to match up some fabric I have!
Heidi says
MATCH ME!
Someone actually tried to UNMATCH me and my fiance! When she found out he was interested in me, she told him that I didn’t like him at all! As it turns out, we ended up introducing her to her husband!
Ann Marie says
MATCH ME!!!
I am a horrible matchmaker, so I don’t even try. My husband and I were “matched” by the Internet back before things like that were so mainstream. ;-)
Jenn says
MATCH ME! Alas, no match making for me… Although I always want to hook people up, the stars never align.
Sabrina says
Match Me!
I worked at a middle school in the library and there was a math teacher everyone wanted me to go out with. They tried for a couple of years to pair us up… Finally we went out on a date. Well, they turned out to be excellent matchmakers! Last August we got married and nine months later we had a sweet little boy!!!
Kate says
MATCH ME!
One time – and only AS A JOKE suggested that my friend and separated from husband should go out – AS A JOKE. And then they did. And then I had one less friend… And a couple months later my husband and I got back together… Awkward.
Sara says
MATCH ME!!!
Monika says

Match me! I’ve played matchmaker before, but it has never really ended well!

Match Me!
I am not a matchmaker, but my friend matched me up with a guy in the 9th grade we ended up dating and then married last summer. :)
Carrie says
Match me!
A friend of mine played matchmaker for me and, boy, am I ever grateful! Nearly 10 years (8 of them married) and two beautiful daughters later, we’re still matching strong! :) And no, we’re not gonna try for a boy. ;)
Leah says
Match Me!
I played matchmaker in college – a friend of mine and I would “accidentally” leave our roommates alone together when we would go out drinking or when we would hang out home. It worked like a charm – they just celebrated their 6th wedding anniversary yesterday!
Caroline says
MATCH ME! My husband and I introduced our college roommates to each other back when we had just started dating, and last fall (almost a decade later) my husband and I were the best man and matron of honor at their beautiful wedding!
Kate says
Match Me!
I would never try to be a matchmaker because I would hate it if someone tried to do it to me.
stephanie says
MATCH ME:)
Stephanie Sampson says

Match Me!
My husband and I have been together for so long (early high school!) So no one ever had the chance to set us up with anyone but my mom is infamous for trying to set up my sister with every cute waiter she spots!
Jenny says
MATCH ME!! I recently played matchmaker, and now two of my friends are happily in love!!! I’m so happy for them and just know they are going to get married!!
Andi says
MATCH ME!!!
My husband and I were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend….been married for almost 9 years!!!
Suzanne says
Match me!
And the last people I tried to match up were my college roommate and my boyfriend’s roommate. It didn’t work out so well for them…because I ended up marrying the roommate. Oops!
Sam Q says
MATCH ME!
When I was younger I tried a few times to match friends up, but only once did it really work! My best friend and her boyfriend (the two I successfully matched :D) have been together for like 7 years now! When I’m right, I’m really right?
Cori @WhereYouHangYourHeart.com says
Match me! I set up my friend and my boyfriend (now husband)’s roommate. They are now married!

Match me!
I’ve never tried it.
Sarah Porterfield says
Match me! I’m married to my best friend’s brother. Nuf said!

MATCH ME!
I’ve been matched before and it didn’t go so well… the three of us are all good friends now so I guess that’s not a total loss!
Cara says
MATCH ME!!!!!
I have a terrible track record for matching friends up. I have tried with several of my friends. So far I’m down to one set of friends who have been dating for about 2 months now and that is my best yet! I’m 1-10, but I’ll never give up!
Susan deGeneres says
MATCH ME!! The worst has to be when your mother tries to play matchmaker. I’m going through that right now and I can’t find a nice way to ask her to stop!!
Kristin says
MATCH ME!!
