***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.

I’ve never played matchmaker or been matched up before!

MATCH ME!
Have never played Matchmaker, but now I have “Fiddler on the Roof” in my head. Last week, I had “Ten Minutes Ago” from R&H Cinderella in my head, so I guess it’s par for the course.

Match Me!!
I try not to play match maker. Too much pressure!

I can’t say that I’ve ever tried to set anyone up or vice versa.

Match ME!
The only time I’ve played matchmaker was when I got my wife hired in at the place I worked because I had liked her for so long and it all worked out just like I hoped it would! Now, we’re married with two beautiful kids!

“MATCH ME!” My husband once played matchmaker and set up some high school friends. They’re getting married in December…so I guess he should make a career of it!

Michelle Miller says
Match Me!
I have played matchmaker – it never worked out for me or for them I should say.
Thanks for the oppurtunity!
Stace says
MATCH ME!!! – I unintentionally matched 2 people up in HS and they were together for a long time but no more :( – I did a blinddate ONCE and it was enought to stop me from doing it again.

Match Me!
I’ve been matched up before…but that was a total flop.

Veronica Barrio says
My hubby started a greek dating site and people have married from meeting up there :-)
Elizabeth says
Match me! I’ve never tried to play matchmaker…I like all of my friends too much to subject them to that. :)
Katie says
Match Me! One of the most passionate, deeply moving love affairs I ever had was due to a casual, totally unserious match up for an 80’s themed prom party. We dated but then I moved halfway around the world and eventually broke up. Still the best set up ever though. I’ll settle for some nice art as a booby prize.
Monica says
Match Me! I only played matchmaker once and they are getting married in a couple weeks! I think I will just be one and done ;)
Amy says
Match Me!
I have been on both sides. The match I made did not work out, I matched my good friends up and they just didn’t get along. My match worked out wonderfully. My mom and my husband’s aunt matched us up. It wasn’t a blind match though, we grew up across the street from each other, but had never thought about dating until someone else thought it was a good idea.
Marcella says
MATCH ME!
I matched my sister up with one of my friends from college and they are now married! :)
Elisabeth says
Match Me!
Jennifer M. says
MATCH ME!
I was set up on a blind date once and it didn’t go so well. The guy was a few years older than me and when he found that out he would not stop mentioning the age difference. Unfortunately, we also had nothing in common. We were both glad when the evening ended!
Madeline says
MATCH ME!
Noel says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never played matchmaker, but I might have done some strategic party inviting…
Susan says
Match Me! I’ve not been successfully matched and know better than to try to match someone else!
Autumn says
MATCH ME! We close on our brand new house in the next week or so, so I’m going to have a lot of naked walls to cover!
I set up a couple friends of mine that had never met a few years back. A year later they were married, and now they have two beautiful little girls! :)
Marie says
MATCH ME! My sister is the only matchmaker in the family and she has failed miserably. I MMOB (mind my own business)
Bridgit says
MATCH ME!
Only set two people up once and now she is going to be my sister-in-law!
Cher says
Match me! I did play matchmaker once….they ended up getting married, and that was the WORST decision of my life. But hey, they say water rises to it’s own level.
Lindsay P says
Match Me!
I have never been a matchmaker, but my husband takes credit for many of his friend’s relationships. I will leave the matchmaking up to him. :)
Whitney says
MATCH ME!
Even though I didn’t play matchmaker, my husband successfully set up two couples. He has a great sense of character… :)
Gwen says
Match me! I’ve only played matchmaker once and that was enough.
Allison says
Match me! Ugh – my uncle tried to match me up with one of his co-workers. He ended up to have the personality of a rock, and made me pay for my chicken fingers that I didn’t eat. (no lie!!) The date ended early – asked him to take me home and found my own match months later:).
Erin says
MATCH ME
I set up my good friend with another friend’s brother, they hit it off and started dating right away, then the sister fo the guy decided she hated the new girlfriend, things got ugly! they dated for over a year but at the end it was all fighting and everyon was thrilled to see them split!
