***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!
I have a lot of good matchmaking ideas, but so far nothing has come of it.
Karla @ {TheClassyWoman} says
MATCH ME! :)
I’ve never tried to play matchmaker, I had an old colleague try to set me up on a blind date and let’s just say that was the last date with that guy. lol. Hubby and I matched ourselves by meeting online, married nearly 5 yrs!
Beylah says
MATCH ME! Can’t say I’ve ever played matchmaker or been matched. I have a hard enough time matching my shoes with my outfits, I don’t think I’d trust myself matching actual living beings together! :)
Emily says
Match me! I actually wanted to set my sister up with my husband the first time I met him. Glad that didn’t work out!!
jana says
Match me! Thank heavens I’ve never really been matched up and since I’ve already found my perfect match, I never will be! :-)
Caitlin says
Match Me!
My college roommate set me up with a friend of her boyfriend’s and I have been happily dating Ben for over a year now! It was the first time we both had been set up and luckily it worked out great!
Katie Heitgerd says
MATCH ME!!!
Amanda says
Match Me! I introduced on of my sorority sisters in college to my friend Mike and they got married just after we graduated. I’d say since they’re still together it worked pretty well :D
Amanda says
MATCH ME!
Two good friends of mine have been married for almost a year…thanks to me!
Meg says
Match me!
I am looking for the perfect girl to set one of my friends up with. He s awesome. When I kind her I’ll let you know how it goes. I always wanted to play Cupid!
leah says
Match Me! I unfortunately was matched up with my ex husband, needless to say that didn’t go so well. After that, I never listened to my cupid friends again. haha!
Ronica says
MATCH ME!
I’m no matchmaker; I believe you can’t force it. :) That being said, I’m all about matching the matchy matchy in my house and would love a gift card–every room, wall, and ceiling is GREIGE at the moment. We just moved in, and this is what the previous owners had the builder do. I’m rapidly tiring of it. Actually, it’s pretty much the color of your blog background. Fine in small amounts, not in every. single. room. So, please?

MATCH ME!
Mika Anna says
MATCH ME!
I am the worst match-maker – I’m way too much of a control freak and require that the whole shebang work out …. which it rarely does.
BUT, I was set up with the tall, dark, handsome, and slightly mysterious man a few years ago. He’s now my husband!
Ashley W says
Match me!!
Luckily one of my college roommates played matchmaker & set me up with my now husband!
Sarah K says
MATCH ME!
My cousin matched my boyfriend and I up our freshman year of high school in that stupid high school way… but that was almost 7 years ago and he is still my best friend. :)
jessica W. says
“MATCH ME!” if there were still arranged marriages, I am sure my hubs and I would have been arranged…
Sarah says
MATCH ME!
I can never think of good matches for my friends, but I give advice when asked!
Erin M says
Match Me!
Sadly, no matchmaker stories to tell.
Sonja says
MATCH ME!
I played matchmaker with my brother & my friend right out of high school. We all know where this story goes….it didn’t end well, to say the least. I don’t recommend playing matchmaker!!
Sarah says
MATCH ME!
Any time I try to match people up, it does not end well. So I’ve learned my lesson.
Vicky says
Match me… I’ve never played matchmaker out matchmakee.

Match Me!
My fiance and I were matched by a mutual friend. Good job on the matchmaking from her end.
Jeanne says
Match me!
Rosemary says
Match me!
The only time I’ve attempted to match friends up it was a flop. The awkwardness of it is not worth the potential match up… in that case.
Rachel M. says
No matchmaker for me…although I love Fiddler on the Roof and I instantly start singing the song in my head when I read the word matchmaker.
Es says
MATCH ME! I’ve played matchmaker twice; one led to a marriage, the other to a friendship.
Shannon says
MATCH ME!
I played matchmaker in high school to 2 of my good friends. They were together about 5 years before splitting up. So I guess I’m a perfect matchmaker for half-decade romances.
Becky says
Match me!!!
My matchmaker was eharmony – and they found my perfect match! We’re getting married in 17 days.
Alecia says
Match me!
I’ve never been matchmaker, but I was matched once. It was awful!
Christina says
Match me! My sister and I tried setting up our brother with a co-worker’s friend. Made for awkward Monday meetings…
Beth says
MATCH ME!
I’ve tried to match up one couple but they didn’t even really like each other. :(
Campbell says
Match Me!
In undergrad, my good family friend set me up on a blind date with his friend from high school who attended a nearby college. We got along so well, but by our fifth date he still hadn’t kissed me. In typical college student fashion, we decided to “rent a movie” on the date. It turns out that Dreamworks’ Madagascar didn’t get the dude in a romantic mood. The animals found their way back, the movie ended, the credits were rolling, and it got so awkward that I finally said, “I think we should get the awkwardness over with and make out now.” That was our fifth and final date.
Lisa says
Match me!
I’ve never been matched up and I never plan on setting anyone else up either. I let fate make it happen instead.
Beth S says
Math Me! – my best friend fixed me up with her husbands best friend. (way back in 1995) it was love at first sight. We dated for 2 years but alas he got away, I have married / divorced / have a 21 y/o son and I still dream at night of the one who got away….maybe dreams do come true? LOVE your style, I am hitting the thrift store tomorrow!
Erin says
Match me! I have never tried to be a match maker before.
Beth S says
Or match me….long day!
Carmen says
Match Me! No, I do not play matchmaker and luckily most of my friends are married so I don’t even have to worry about helping them find someone.
Becky says
MATCH ME!
The few times I have tried to play matchmaker have not ended in a match, but instead a really awkward evening. I’ll leave that stuff to the experts.
kristen says
Match Me!
Yes! …a coworker set my man & I up on a blind date, and we’ve been together for two and a half years! He’s my soul mate. I can’t wait to marry him!
Angel says
MATCH ME! I’ve never matched anyone! I’ve been matched and it wasn’t so successful :)
Nicky says
MATCH ME!
No couples I’ve ever tried to match up ever worked out :(
may east says
match me!
Sarah says
MATCH ME!
I used to try to play matchmaker some in college, but it never worked out for anyone. Now my friends always want me to hook them up with my husband’s medical resident frients, but they are all taken! :(
