***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’ve been set up several times, but for some reason the guys were always VERY quiet and couldn’t carry a conversation. I ended up finding a very talkative husband on my own. :)

MCC says
MATCH ME!
I’ve tried a couple times, but it was out of request of one of the parties, rather than my own intuition. Needless to say it didn’t work out. Bummer.
Erin says
Just once… it worked for a while but didn’t last… so I guess I’ll keep my day job!

Match Me!
I set up my current love with his ex-girlfriend. Let’s just say I’m glad it ended up not working out because I found out that he’s a great guy and I love him!

MATCH ME!
Every older woman in my life has tried to be my matchmaker. I met my wife the old fashioned way… at the circus with friends.
I like to tell people she was the bearded lady!

“MATCH ME!” I always try to play matchmaker for my sister Brooke but it never seems to work out.

Cheryl says
Match me! (…but I’ll stick to my day job.)

Kyley says
MATCH ME!
I don’t think I’ve ever tried to match someone up – nor have I ever been matched up. Especially since I met my husband when I was 16.
Leah says
Match Me!
I set up our rather weird neighbor with a rather weird timpani player once. She thought he was weird! Classic….
Disclaimer: I have no bias against timpani players – don’t know why that seemed like an important detail.
Melanie says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never tried to match people up but am always struggling to match my clothes and interior design choices… I do not have an eye for it so it is especially difficult for me and a source of a lot of stress!!
Rebecca says
MATCH ME! I’ve never played matchmaker on purpose, but friends from different circles have got together before.

MATCH ME!
The folks I matched up didn’t make it more than two weeks! I think I will stick to my day job…

Match me! My husband and I are the result of one of our mutual friends playing matchmaker in high school. 10 years later and we’re still together!

I’ve tried to set up friends before, but I’ve found that it’s better to do random introductions and let things work out on their own.

Erin Randall says
MATCH ME!
Two good friends decided to play matchmaker, unbeknownst to me. The result? I met my soul mate and we were married two years later, with a beautiful son and one more on the way. Sometimes friends do know best :)

“MATCH ME!”
My mom set me up with someone she worked with back when I was in college. It was an epic fail- probably the worst date ever!

Match Me!

Brandan WH says
MATCH ME!
When I first moved to DC from California, my sister tried to hook me up with “great men”. Fun, right? So not. She kept putting me with people SHE would like (very political, conservative, boring) and thus none of the dates ever worked. I ended up finding my own dates after she struck out 5 times. Gotta love family.
Susan says
MATCH ME!
I’ve been set up a few times with mixed results. One incident in particular was a disaster, poor guy.
