***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 normally match make in more subtle terms, and that way people think it was there idea and I get to live with the knowledge that I’ve made two people very happy. :)
Paula says
Match me!
I’m generally not a fan, but I did see a weird Shakespearean situation in which the matched guy and girl went their separate ways but the girl’s friend (also at the party) met the guy and liked him and they’re together. Huh.
Meaghan says
MATCH ME!!
I have tried to match-make before. I should totally never try it again!!

MATCH ME!!
A friend set me up with someone a long time ago… it was really awkward! When he went to open my door, I thought he was just trying to sit where I was, so I walked to the other side!

MATCH ME!
I’m a terrible matchmaker and have been told I’m not the best “wingman” either! I dont know why, I think my matches would work if they gave it a try! ;)

Kathy says
MATCH ME! The blind date my best friend thought was perfect for me took a cell phone call during our appetizer, turn his back on me, and proceed to talk to whomever for the next 20 minutes. Needless to say, I ate the entire appetizer…haha. He wondered why I didn’t want to go on a second date.
Amy S says
Match Me! I have played match maker once, and it was a horrible disaster. Fortunately, the person who played match maker for me and my husband had much better results!!
nicki says
match me please!
Sara says
MATCH ME!
At our wedding we gave out matchbooks that said our names and then…”A Match Made in Heaven”…Does being a cheeseball count as being a “match-maker”??!! ;)
valerie J. says
MATCH ME! Occasionally I help my mom set people up…she’s the matchmaker and the one that “gets in trouble” if it doesn’t work out. :)
Katie G says
MATCH ME!

Match me!
2 yrs ago, I tried to match up a field hockey buddy with someone at work- I honestly did not really know either of them well at the time.Come to find out, the guy from work was a bit too eager and a little creepy (and older than I thought)- needless to say, my friend doesn’t really trust me with this task anymore!

Mel says
Match me!
I played matchmaker a couple of times… one friend ended up married to the guy I set her up with, the other friend is still dating the girl I introduced him to (and urged him to date!) after eight years, so I can boast a 100% success rate. I wish I had that kind of intuition in my own love-life!
Kaycie says
Match me!
No matchmaking here, but I do have two very eligible sisters. Just seems like there are so many ways it could go wrong.
Jessica Snyder says
MATCH ME!

MATCH ME!
I have tried to set people up, but can’t take any credit for any wedding bells…just a few unsuccessful first dates or short lived flames.

Kristin says
Match Me!!
I’ve played matchmaker a few times..not much success unfortunately :(
Lindsay K. says
MATCH ME!
That is awesome how it can coordinate an image like that. I love it!
I am always brainstorming about match making for mutual friends, but never let it get that far to actually set them up. Im nervous it will go down bad and they’ll take it out on me! Just let them stay single or find their own honey! haha! :)
Stephanie says
MATCH ME!
I can’t remember a single time that I ever played matchmaker. However, I can tell you that my parents met on a blind date that was set up by their friends playing matchmaker. Those friends became my godparents and my parents have been married for 42 years!
Nicole A. says

Match Me!!
My sister’s ex-boyfriend matched me up with his brother. He first told me 7 years ago that I’d be perfect for his bro who lived in another state. 3 years ago he moved to my state and we’ve been together ever since. We’re getting married next May.
Stephanie says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never played matchmaker but I had a college friend that used to try to match me up all of the time.
