***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.

Devon @ Green House, Good Life says
In 1999, I “matched” two fellow graduate students, who ended up getting married a few years later. I like to take credit for their relationship, but in actuality, all I did was invite my friend Jeremy over while my roommate Julie happened to be home, and they took it from there. Whatever, their little girl is adorable, and it’s ALL DUE TO MY IMPECCABLE MATCHMAKING SKILLS.
Kristen says
MATCH ME!
And I have failed at matchmaking in the past so will stick to my day job, thank you :)

Sarah Via says
MATCH ME!
All of the matches my husband and I attempt to make of our single friends have failed… and they usually end up with someone the polar opposite of the person we chose for them. We’ll stick to the Bachelor and Bachelorette–usually our picks make the final episode!
Megan says
Match me!
I matchmade (?) my best friend with my fiance’s friend. It turned out pretty well for about 6 months, but just wasn’t meant to be. I’m still trying though.

MATCH ME!
At my old church, there was this lovely, but very talkative and scheming woman who tried again and again to set me up with a certain young man. Eventually, I got so sick of her asking and asking, I agreed to a date. Now, that young man and I are engaged!
Brandi says
Match ME! i tried to encourage my college roomate to date this guy from her class…long story short, i ended up marrying him myself!

Match me!!
I am the worst matchmaker…ever. Seriously. It was awkward silence all around. Never again!
Shannon says
MATCH ME! We seated two single people at a table with mutual friends who were all married at our wedding. 2 1/2 years later those 2 singles married one another. I always joke around with them that their relationship was totally my doing. Does that count? :)
Amy says
MATCH ME! I’ve never played matchmaker…
