***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’m trying to convert a guest room into a nursery and could really use a nice piece of art to match fabric i found!!M
Jenny L says
Match me!
My husband and I met on a blind date, so I’m not against match-making. Haven’t had any luck as the matchmaker myself – yet!
TJ says
MATCH ME!
I never had much luck with friends trying to match me up until one day I was at a happy hour and a lightbulb went on over my friend’s head. She and her husband had plans to play mini golf that night with another couple – so she brought me along and her husband brought his co-worker, and …success! We’ve been married 15 years now. :o)
Kimberly says
MATCH ME!
I am too nervous to try to play matchmaker. After my now-husband (of 6 years) and I had gone on a couple dates his mom gave me his number which was a matchmaker-y thing to do, so she gets a bit of partial credit ;)
Nicole says
MATCH ME!
Never played matchmaker nor had someone try, but I do believe some people are great at it!
Amanda says
Match me please!
I am actually in a relationship where we were matched by one of my good friends! When my friend and I first met and hit it off she kept telling me about this guy that she thought I would love- but she hadn’t kept in touch with him…long story short, he showed up where we work one day and we have been together ever since
Kassie says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never tried match making. I’d rather just stay out of it. I’d hate for it to go badly.
Karin says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never tried to play matchmaker but I think I’d make a pretty good wing-woman!
Tracy says
MATCH ME! The one time I played matchmaker it turned out to be very successful! I introduced my sister to her now husband. (And you can bet I won’t ever let her forget who got them together)!
Relevant Notes says
MATCH ME!
I had tons of friends trying to get my boyfriend and I together for YEARS, but I didn’t trust them enough to meet him. We met through school later, and I really regretted not listening to them sooner!
Rachel says
MATCH ME!!
I’ve tried matchmaking once or twice… but it wasn’t ever a success!
Heather says
Match Me!
No match-making for me! : )
Tracey says
Match me!
My sister had a co-worker/friend she wanted to match me up with, and when I met him I basically said EWW, I am not interested. And then she ended up marrying him! (But I was right with my “ew” comment, because he ended up being a real jerk.)
Melinda says
MATCH ME!
Iva says
MATCH ME!
Kristen says
MATCH ME! But no matchmaking for me. :-)
Karen Dempsey says
MATCH ME!
My one attempt at matchmaking was not exactly a success. The male half ended up leaving with someone else — who later became his wife.
Allison says
MATCH ME!! My hubby and I were matched by a mutual friend! So much fun:)
Jamie says
“Match Me”…tried to match up a girlfriend of mine with one my husband’s guy friend two separate times and both times, the breakups didn’t go well. Don’t think we will do that again.
Ana Silva says
Match me!
I don’t think I have ever tried matchmaking but my younger sister tried it on me recently. Not a match at all. Nice guy but not my type. I tell people that try matchmaking to just stick to their day job.
Russel says
MATCH ME!!! No matching for me! Not the place for me!
Matt says
MATCH ME!
Never been much of a matchmaker.
Natalie says
MATCH ME!
My friend tried to match me up with the drummer in her boyfriend’s band one time, but it didn’t work out. No problem though, I ended up dating the lead guitarist for a summer and had a great time!
Ashlee says
MATCH ME!!
My husband and I were set up by my best friend. Obviously, her match making skills paid off! :)
Amanda P. says
MATCH ME!
My first boyfriend/love was a set-up by a friend. It lasted a few years, but it didn’t withstand the test of time. (I mean, I was 16!!)
:-)
Allison says
Match me! I played matchmaker once on request (a friend was interested in a guy I knew so I set up a group happy hour). They’re getting married next summer. :)
heather lui says
MATCH ME!
Lindsay says
MATCH ME!
I’ve been the matchee many times before, no luck yet though:)
Megan says
MATCH ME!
I don’t think I’ve ever (at least not successfully) played at matchmaking… BUT! I did humiliate myself in the 7th grade by performing the song Matchmaker from Fiddler on the Roof at my middle school’s annual talent show. “Find me a find! Catch me a catch!” I wore an apron and a kerchief and everything. Classic nerd stuff. So embarrassing. (…If it wins me this giveaway though it will totally have been worth it!) :)
Barbara M says
Please, Match Me!
I’ve never tried to be a matchamker before, but I did have a co-worker set me up once…..he’s now my ex-husband lol!
Kacy says
Match Me!!
I’ve never played matchmaker…I don’t think that I know anyone single!! How silly is that!

Match Me!
I have never been set up and after hearing my friend’s stories I am grateful!
Kelly says
Match Me!
I played matchmaker once. They eventually got married and then divorced. I stopped playing matchmaker. :)
cecilly martinez says
MATCH ME!
I’ve tried kind of the opposite of matchmaking, but no one ever takes my advice. C’est la vie.
JMay says
MATCH ME! I can’t say I’ve ever matched or been matched. But I’m looking so if there are any matchmakers out there, hook me up!
Amanda says
MATCH ME!
Our friends are SO incompatible…match making would be an epic fail…so no.
Spec says
MATCH ME :)
emily says
match me please! I’ve only tried to play matchmaker with my furniture
Diane says
Match Me!
I’ve had people play matchmaker for me – and it never worked. But I found my own prince charming and we are married and have 2 children. Sometimes it’s best to find your own matches!!
Colleen says
Match me! My husband and I set up our mutual best friend with my cousin. Did. Not. End. Well. Our new house is desperate for some art!
Juliet says
Match Me! I’ve never played matchmaker but know a family who recently brought their 22 yr old niece over to the states from India to “find her a husband!” She is stunning, smart and young I wouldn’t think she would need any help.
Jenna says
MATCH ME!!
My husband and I actually set up our two best friends. They got married this February!

Match Me! My friend and roommate was the matchmaker that led me to my husband!

I tried to play matchmaker between my best friend and a boy who liked me but I wasn’t interested in. Needless to say, it had disastrous results.
