***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!
No matchmaker for me!
Jane says
Match Me! I’ve tried to play matchmaker several times and actually succeeded once … the couple has been together for about a year and a half! But I also find that matchmaking doesn’t have to be in the love department. I’ve put plenty of people in touch with one another thinking that they’ll be great friends — this one has worked even better!
Jen says
Match Me!
My husband and I were set up by a mutual co-worker. If it hadn’t been for him we probably would have never tried inter-office dating!
Rebecca says
MATCH ME! Never tried the matchmaking business – I don’t think I’d be very good at it!
Kari says
MATCH ME!!!!!!!!!! This is awesome!!! Thanks so much!! No one has tried to match me but often I think of good matches for certain people in my head, just for fun! Ha! ;D
Jen says
MATCH ME!
Married for 15 years after being matched by mutual friends – worked for me! :)
I haven’t played matchmaker though.., not really one of my skills.
Sarah says
Match Me!
I’ve never played matchmaker, I did once try to encourage my current husband (before we were dating) to date another girl he was interested in (but who I later realized I knew and didn’t particularly like)! I’ll stay out of matchmaking from now on.
Kathleen W says
Match Me Please! I have never tried to be a matchmaker, but I think it would be fun!
Heather says
MATCH ME! I’m not much of a matchmaker myself.
jess says
MATCH ME!
Anna says
MATCH ME!
Well I met my husband thru Match.com :)
Liz says
MATCH ME!!
I used to try and match my friends up with my old boyfriend’s friends in high school so we could double date! :)
Leslie says
MATCH ME! People have tried to match me before… glad that’s over now that I’m married!
Ellen says
Match Me!
Love to play matchmaker, never been successful at it!
Quinn says
MATCH ME!!!!
Thanks for the give-away.
Jenna says
MATCH ME!
I was matched to this red-headed kid in 8th grade by a mutal best friend, it only lasted for 5 hours. But, 10 years later, I changed my mind and ended up marrying him.
Kim says
match me!
i think i did a ton in high school but none that ever stuck!
Krystle says
match me!
Leah says
MATCH ME! I have tried to be matchmaker. I love people falling in love, but my long term success rate is 0…don’t think that’ll stop me from continuing to try!
Laura J says
MATCH ME! I see nothing wrong with introducing friends as friends, but I’m not into fixing friends up on dates. If they like each other at a party or whatever, let people match themselves up
Barbara says
MATCH ME!
Danielle Blake says
MATCH ME!
My husband and I were setup by a friend. It worked out pretty well. We’ve been together nearly nine years and married for three.
Kristin says
MATCH ME!
Technically speaking, I have not played matchmaker. BUT, I did give my blessing for my brother and best friend of 16 years to start dating several years ago because I thought they would be great together. Turns out they are now married and expecting a baby!!! So not only is my best friend now my sister-in-law, my brother has found the woman of his dreams and is becoming a Dad, and my best friend has found her dream husband and will be the beautiful Mama of my niece or nephew! How cool is that? :)
Brittany says
Match Me!
I’ve never been matched or played matchmaker.
holly says
MATCH ME!
never stepped into the matchmaker role. but someone tried to match me up one time and it was a total disaster!
Erin PIttman says
Match me!!!
I’ve tried to be a match maker but to no avail! However I’m psyched to try this photo-uploader-majig.
Tiffany says
MATCH ME!
I love playing matchmaker, but have only had one success story – and they just celebrated 7 years of marriage. So, I think a few fails are justified ;)
Lynn says
Match Me!
I have this incessant need to see people in as happy a relationship as my husband and I – I’m so selfish like that! But my husband has taken my matchmaker shoes away after like my umpteenth failure at it. What’s up with that? What’s up with that? :o)
Raven says
Match me!
Jessica says
Match Me! I don’t need to play matchmaker- my friends are all happily married!
Jenny says
MATCH Me!!
Our dogs played matchmaker in introducing my husband and myself :) Been married for 5 years :)
Alyssa says
Match me! I’ve never played matchmaker…at least not yet!
Maureen says
MATCH ME!
Seeing as I’m currently dating the result of matchmaking I’d say my friend did alright. I only like the boy a whole lot :). General success.
Blair R says
Match Me!
jae says

MATCH ME!
Christine says
MATCH ME!
I set one couple up that is now married with children!
Pedro says
MATCH ME! I’ve never tried to play matchmaker.
Emily says
MATCH ME! I swear I am the queen of blind dates. I’ve lost count how many I’ve been on…and unfortunately 98% weren’t worth going out with a second time. But I’m still trying so if you know a cute, decent guy in his 30’s in or around the Salt Lake City area, send him my way! Or just let me win some cool art. :)
petra says
MATCH ME! Never tried matching.
Allie says
MATCH ME!
.. I’ve never played matchmaker, but I’d like to try!
Linda says
MATCH ME!
I’ve had my opinions about whom I thought would be good together but it usually never went anywhere. The only person that ever did anything with my rambling was my brother. He’s now been married for 6 years and is still happily in love. :)
Alyssa says
MATCH ME! I don’t try to match people up, they will find their true loves without my meddling.
Tiffany says
Match Me!
I tried to match up a friend of mine and a friend of my husband. They really liked each other and if it wasn’t for the Atlantic ocean in between them, I think they would be living happily ever after. Never worked out be we are still friends:)
Jessica G. says
MATCH ME! I used to try to play matchmaker a lot, but none of them ever worked out for the long term, so I stopped. It’s just too much pressure!
Chelsea says
MATCH ME!
I’m married to my husband because somebody played matchmaker!
Connie @ Daydream In Color says
MATCH ME! What a great idea!
I semi played matchmaker before. My bff started dating our friend’s cousin & she wasn’t that into him at the time, but I kept convincing her that he was a great guy. After a few dates, she was hooked! She just had to give him a chance. They’re still together after 5 years!
