***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.
Melissa says
MATCH ME! My boyfriend and I tried to match up our best friends…complete disaster!
Jessica Feinberg says
Match me!!!
I have no funny stories about being set up!
I’m always talking to my husband about how I should be a matchmaker though bc a lot of single people that I pictured with other single people I know have ended up getting married. :)
Katy says
Match me! Because I’m making over my office and it needs some art!
Stephanie says
Match me! Although, I would love naked wall syndrome. I cannot say I’ve had much match making success with human relationships.
Keth says
MATCH ME!
I play matchmaker all the time – but only matching people to tech toys :D I am an ace at hooking people up with things they didn’t know they couldn’t live without!
Anjana says
MATCH ME!
My friend introduced me to my husband. Three years later, I re-introduced her to an ex-boyfriend of hers, and then they got married.
Sarah J. says
Match me! The couple of times I’ve played matchmaker, it really didn’t work out. So, I’m all done with that ;)
Anne says
MATCH ME!
My mother-in-law is kind of a notorious matchmaker…luckily, both of her children are married now! Our friends have to watch out though…
Dawn says
MATCH ME!!
I’m terrible at figuring out who would be good together, so no match making for me!
Kate says
MATCH ME!
Natalie says
Match Me!
please.. :)
Victoria says
MATCH ME! No I have not played matchmaker….heard to many stories from people who have!
Brianna says
Match me! Only one time was I matched up: I went to a party to meet someone, but ended up with (and subsequently married) another guy at the same party. Crazy how life works! We’re now working on our first house together :)
Nancy says
MATCH ME! I just spent about an hour on art.com last week browsing and “pinning.” I’d love to win this!! Playing matchmaker always comes to mind when I meet a new single friend, but seems like when I know a single gal I can’t think of any single guys and vice versa.
Melissa says
Match ME!
Never played matchmaker… and don’t plan on it! Too much pressure!
Colleen says
Match Me!
I married the guy my ex boyfriends sister set me up with and my best friend married a guy I set her up with, who happens to be my matchmakers husbands best man. One big matchmaking circle!
Brittany Taylor says
*Match Me*
Kelli says
MATCH ME!
I avoid playing matchmaker at all costs. If two of my friends happen to meet through me and hit it off, of course I’ll take the credit. But I don’t want to be blamed for any awkward first dates!
Leslie says
MATCH ME!
I was sort of matched up with my boyfriend by a mutual friend. We really owe him.
Laura says
Match Me!
I’ve never tried to be a matchmaker, but have often thought about it :)
Amanda Jean says
MATCH ME!!!
I’ve been a matchmaker…didn’t work so well. But, my #1 for the last 8 years was the result of a couple meddling friends :)
What a cool feature…going to check it out now just for the heck of it.
Paula says
Match Me!
And in the spirit of “That’s Richmond For Ya” I was matched up by two different friends to the same guy. I wasn’t impressed the first time….or the second! Richmond really is a small town….
Deborah says
MATCH ME…I am actually trying something right now. I have no clue if it will actually work out but I’m trying!
and…i need some new art. please and thank you.
Bethany Peterson says
MATCH ME!
My husband introduced his college friend to a friend from high school. They are now married, have two kids and live down the street from where my husband grew up! I’d say it was a success!
Allison says
MATCH ME!
My hubby and I tried to set up our respective best friends once, but it didn’t work out. Last time I ever try that!
Barb says
MATCH ME!
I think I’d be a really good matchmaker if people would just listen to me :)
Jules says
MATCH ME! I wish I could match make, whenever I have good guys to find a girl for I have no good girls to match them up with and whenever I have a nice girl who needs a guy I can’t find any worthy gents! I need to get matched up with another match maker! HA!
Lauren G says
MATCH ME!!
I tried to set my best friend and my brother up…it didn’t work out at all! They are more like brother and sister..I tried!
Stacy L. says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never played matchmaker, but I was set up with my husband… Sort of. We met at the wedding of our two best friends, who had been trying to set us up for four years. Crazy how these things pan out!
Callie says
Match me!
I’ve never tried to play matchmaker but I did help a friend get an internship when she then met her fiance. So I’ll claim that as my contribution to another’s happily ever after.
Lindsey says
MATCH ME!
A friend matched my now-husband and I. We are now expecting our first baby and need art for the nursery :)
sarah says
MATCH ME!
I had someone try to set me up once. DISASTER. Worst date ever. I’m sure the Match My Image tool would do a much better job.
Jana Alexis says
Match me!
My husband and I were introduced by mutual friends…and married 16 months later. :)
Ashley says
MATCH ME!
Playing matchmaker is not a good idea! I have 30 too many stories of it not going well. Good luck to anyone that tries it!
dm says
MATCH ME
I tried to set up my friend with this guy once, she was uninterested and told me I was stupid. Two years later, I married him. Got that one wrong, for sure.
Jenni says
MATCH ME!
I try to match people up all the time! I’ve got 2 marriages under my belt! (For other people, not myself :)
Lisa V says
MATCH ME!
I always try to be matchmaker, but I’m not so good at it! Drives my husband crazy!
Nicole says
Match Me!
I met my now fiance 4 years ago. We had an initial interest, but love wasn’t in the air until my old roommate and his cousin (who met the same night) reunited us two years ago. We’re 80 days away from the wedding and beginning to look at homes to buy. This gift cert would definitely be put to good use :)
Sarah F says
Match me!
My mother played match maker with my then best friend, now husband when he was leaving for the air force after high school graduation. She knew he had a crush on me and slipped him a photograph of me to keep with him. We lost touch, but we reunited years later and eventually fell in love and were married. He still has the photograph.
Casey says
MATCH ME! I tried Match.com once but I never went on a date because it seemed a little creepy.
Chelsea says
MATCH ME!!
My husband and I were set up by friends who wanted another couple to hang out with in High School. Eight years later still going strong.
Emily says
Match me! Tried it once – it didn’t go so well!
Letty says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never purposefully matched anyone up (sadly!), but I have had friends hook up because they were mutual friends of mine. So maybe I’m a subconscious matchmaker?
Breanne says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never matched or been matched! I do have some ideas though, so maybe I will try my hand at matchmaking soon!
hyzen says
Match me! I never tried to play matchmaker, but I’d like to for my friends that are single and looking–I just don’t seem to know two people who would be right for each other. Maybe I’m too picky! Anyway, I’d love to try this matchmaker tool–very neat!
Jess says
Match Me!
I have a problem trying to set the wrong people up. But it’s just that I want everybody to have somebody! I’m keeping my day job!
Jennifer says
Match Me!
Lori B. says
MATCH ME!
My husband and I were actually set up by a matchmaker and we successfully matched up my bff with her now husband!
Jen says
MATCH ME!
I have never played match maker but I always seem to be the one being matched….no bueno!
christina says
MATCH ME! I don’t up friends – doing so once almost cost me both friendships because the spark I thought I saw ended up being an explosion – not in a good way.
