***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’ve never played match maker, but it could be fun if I found a willing friend
Queen P says
MATCH ME!!
One of my best friends is responsible for hooking up ‘the King’ and I!! She was convinced it would work out and it did! We were sweethearts at age 17 and now at 30&31 we’re married with a child! yay for great friends!!
Jessica says
MATCH ME! When I met my husband, I was dating someone else but hanging out with some mutual friends of mine and my husband’s and they swore we’d be perfect for each other. 6 months later we were dating and have been happy ever since!
Becky says
MATCH ME! Epic fail on the matchmaking.
CB says
Match me!
Karen says
MATCH ME!!
A co-worker of mine played matchmaker with me and his best friend at his halloween party. My rockin 80’s outfit complete with scrunchie and sparkly leg warmers worked bc I’ve been with my guy for 2 1/2 years!
liz says
MATCH ME!

Carol says
MATCH ME! I should stick to my day job.

Match Maker! I try to play match maker all the time with my friends and my boyfriends friends. Hasn’t worked out to well in my favor however so I think it’s time to let the cupid rest!
Laura says
oops Match Me I meant!!
Margaret F says
MATCH ME!
I tried to play matchmaker but it turns out that they not only already knew each other but had ruled each other out.
Christina says
MATCH ME!
I tried to play matchmaker once in college with two of my good friends – definitely a bad idea! I wouldn’t recommend trying it!
Sarah R says
MATCH ME!! My husband and I have a friend and we always try and play matchmaker for him, but so far we haven’t been successful, oh well, we will keep trying! :)

Match me!
I’ve never tried to be a matchmaker (though I’ve considered it) and I never had anyone try to match me up either.
Sarah says
I was once set up by a friend. It didn’t work out, but I thought it was a nice gesture.
Tanja says
MATCH ME!
I like to try and play matchmaker but my track record is horrific.
Megan says
Match me!
What a great idea! :)
My husband and I were kind of matched up . . . we’ve been married a little less than 6 months now, and I’m so blessed!
Stefanie says
MATCH ME!!!
I was basically matched up with my now husband. He asked about me after we had met at my rooommates get-together. So when I broke up with my then boyfriend, my roommate started inviting my now husband to all our weekend functions. Worked out pretty well!
Christine J. says
MATCH ME! I was matched on many one date fiascos for over 4 years through an internet dating site (yes, I was determined that my prince charming had to be out there….somewhere!). Then about 2 years ago I was matched the final time!! My new husband and I were just married June 4th!! I’m all for matchmaking….giving and receiving.
aeriel says
Match Me!
My husband and I have been together ever since we met in HS over 13 years ago, so no one has ever tried to match me up. :-) I also stay away from match making b/c I have ZERO dating knowledge (I refer you back to the whole cheesy HS sweetheart thing). I think it’s probably best this way.
Samantha says
Match me!
I’ve never tried to matchmake. But friends have set me up before with little success!
Alexandra says
Match me! I was always completely opposed to matchmaking of any kind but then my mother and sister matched me up with my honey and we’ve been together for 4 years now… wheee, I’m a believer!
Jessica Marshall says
MATCH ME!
I have never tried to play matchmaker, I wouldn’t have wanted that for me so I won’t do it for anyone else.

MATCH ME!!!

Ashley says
Match Me!!
I did once and it was no good- we did a double date and it was awkward and boring. I’ll stick to my day job!
Ann Hatch says
Match me!
I was a matchmaker for a good friend and her (now) hubby! Yippee!
Lauren King says
Match Me!! I am a terrible matchmaker. When I try and set up people, they usually end up ignoring each other.
Christine Norrman says
Match Me!
I tried to match make one time and it lasted about one month. Was awkward after. Haven’t tried since. :)
angie says
Match me! never played matchmaker
Liz says
Match me!
My cousin set me up once. It was THE most awkward date I had ever been on. He told me that I was very pretty, but my pointy elbows just weren’t doing it for him. What??
Leslie G. says

Allyn says
MATCH ME!!!!!!!
Before my fiance and I finally realized that duh, we belonged together, I had quite a few people try to match me up. I always tried to say no, but sometimes there was no way around it. It makes for some great stories, including one with a guy in a pirate costume. Oh, single days…
Chris says
MATCH ME!
I haven’t played matchmaker, but I love to bet with my husband on couples that have matched themselves up – if they’re going to get married or not.
We both usually bet the same thing haha!
Stephanie says
Match me!
My boss played match maker for me and I’d say it worked out rather well — I’ve been married for 9 years to the wonderful man she introduced me to. :) We have a 16 year old beagle and 3 year old twins that complete our family.

Michelle Wilcox says
MATCH ME! Too scared to play matchmaker. What if something goes wrong?

Afraid it took some time for me to realize my matchmaking skills were not as good as I’d hoped….but it sure was fun to try! Love the romance!
