***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!
Jennifer M says
MATCH ME!
I play matchmaker in my head a lot. I never get it right. My friends and relatives always end up picking the exact opposite of what I think would be perfect for them! And the match they pick is always right! : )

abby says
Match Me! Never been set up and never set anyone up. But am happily married to a great husband!

MATCH ME!
I introduced friends in college who years later got married. They credited me for making the connection though I had no memory of ever introducing them.
Olive says
MATCH ME! A friend tried to match me up once – it was horrible.
Maggie J. says
Match Me!
I normally try to stay away from making a love match for my friends. I prefer home decorating instead :) Thanks!
Preeti says
MATCH ME! I have never been a matchmaker but have been matched up by friends
Kristal says
MATCH ME!
On the matchmaking…SORT OF. I mean, it wasn’t a premeditated fix up. I met my current bf of 5 years in a karaoke bar and I was too shy to talk to him so my friend helped me break the ice! I wouldn’t call it matchmaking b/c that’s usually your friend trying to fix you up with someone they know that is completely incompatible with you…and neither of us knew him. But whatever you’d call it, it’s def working for me!
Sarah says
Match Me!!!
How cool is this?!?!? Just what i need…
Lara says
Match me!
I’ve never really played matchmaker, and I doubt I would be terribly good at it so I think I’ll keep my day job : )
Ciara says
MATCH ME!
A friend of mine from college matched me up with one of her boyfriend’s friends…we didn’t need much help though…it was love at first sight and we’ve been married now for two years!
Anna says
match me! My walls are desperate!
Anna says
Match Me! Eeeesh. I try to stay out of match making as much as possible…uncless it involves art :)
Krista says
MATCH ME!
I have tried to play matchmaker a few times and it never works out. I’ll stick to my day job!
Jonelle says
MATCH ME!!
I’ve tried to play matchmaker a few times, and it’s never worked out. My husband and I did establish a love connection at our wedding though – my best friend and one of his best friends got together and are now engaged! So I guess that counts.
Marissa says
Match me!
Katherine says
MATCH ME!
I did it recently, once–hooked up a coworker and friend with so many similar interests and such fun personalities, it seemed like they were made to be. But alas–she was hung up on previous boy issues, and the whole thing flopped. Bother!
Thanks for the giveaways, guys! This is brilliant. :D
Rachael says
MATCH ME!
I am not a matchmaker.
Betsy says
Match ME!
I am 1 for 2 on my matchmaking :) One couple I set up have now been married 2 years and the other pair still laugh about their first blind date that was just not meant to be!
Leah says
Match Me!
I usually avoid it, but my husband tries to match others up and I get caught up in it sometimes… tis usually pretty futile though.
Steph says
Match Me!
I’ve never played matchmaker, but loved the movie.
Kecia says
MATCH ME! I haven’t played matchmaker since I was 12. The success was short-lived and my lesson was learned. ;)
Mariah says
MATCH ME!
Yes, I have played matchmaker from time-to-time and have been matched on occasion; however, it hasn’t worked out super well from either side. My friend set me up with a guy who turned out to be a complete psycho. Thanks, Geish! I recently set my dear cousin up with a co-worker of mine and although it was disastrous, it wasn’t a love match. She is my little carbon copy so it was a little weird for my co-worker (as it was sort of like being on a date with me) and weird for my cousin because since she’s just like me, she only felt the friend vibe for him. Oh well, I’m sure I’ll give it another try as I LOVE matchmaking, I’m just not a very good one! :-)
Mariah says
oops meant wasn’t disastrous on my post. Although it WASN’T disastrous, it wasn’t a love match.
LuRae says
MATCH ME!
I introduced my son and an employee in my husband’s office on Facebook. So not like me, but they have been dating and enjoying each other’s company ever since! Happy sigh!
Suzanne says
MATCH ME!
I once tried to hook a friend and co-worker up. Didn’t work out…sticking to my day job!!
Liz Mann says
“MATCH ME!” I’m sticking to my day job with this one.
Veronica says
MATCH ME! I played matchmaker once and I don’t typically do it but thought these two people would hit it off. Well, it didn’t work out so I probably won’t do it again!
Michelle says
Match Me! I played match maker once a long time ago and worked and they are still happily married.
Mindy M. says
MATCH ME!
I was set up a few times. Most of the time there was not a second date, but I did date one guy for about 3 mos. – so that wasn’t a huge flop.
Allison says
Match Me!
I’ve never been a matchmaker before or even tried really…too scared it would turn out badly!
Corrie M says
Match me!
I have failed miserably at matchmaking. I have given up:)

MATCH ME – No matchmaking experience, but would invite offers for someone to matchmake me…I’m not doing such a great job for myself. :)
Bethany says
Match Me!
MARISOL says
match me!
i tried to play matchmaker and the plan crashed and burned…needless to say, the mutual friendship is no longer there :(
will never do it again….
Lindsay says
MATCH ME! I tried playing matchmaker twice with the same friend. She suggested I keep my day job. :)
Karen says
Match Me!
I introduced my college roommate to her future husband. I wasn’t really intending to match them up; he was a friend of my boyfriend’s and when we all went out I introduced them and made a joke that if they ever got married my roommate would have a rhyming first and last name. And now she does!
Lindsey N says
MATCH ME!
Olivia says
Match me! I’ve never been purposefully “matched” and don’t think I’ve really tried to match other people!
Natalie says
MATCH ME!
I did once, and they are still together 6 years later.
Jennifer says
MATCH ME!
I match people in thought only, but have never had the guts to actually reccomend any of my ideas.
Emily kidd says
Match me!
A mutual friend between my husband and I played match maker with us. Apparently it worked! We have been going on strong for 5 years now!
Nycole says
MATCH ME!
Kate says
Match me!
I’m an expert friend-match maker. People are on their own for love.
Sarah R. says
MATCH ME! I’ve set up three couples. One couple is married with a baby on the way and the other couple lives together. The third couple dated for a year, so I’m actually pretty good at matchmaking.
Bethany says
Match me!
I did once and it didn’t work out fortunately there were no hard feelings…i think.
Sarah says
MATCH ME!
I’ve unknowingly played matchmaker a few times, so I guess I’m an accidental matchmaking master!
Erica @ Erica's Inspirations says
MATCH ME!! My co-worker is the matchmaker. Out of the last 3 couples she introduced…1 is married and the other is engaged! Pretty good track record if you ask me :)
Marci says
Match me!
My uncle played matchmaker for my husband and me… I guess you could say it was a success.
jill says
match me!
I’ve learned to keep my matchmaking to the fabric/paint color realm.
