Fab Freebie: Guiding Site

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Thanks to random.org, our winner is… Kari (who gets lost even with the help of GPS). Congrats Kari!

It goes without saying that we’re big fans of decorating and design help through the magic of the internet. So of course we’re psyched that one of you is gonna score some customized assistance from My Design Guide. They tap into a network of real interior designers to help you out with everything from quick fix mini-consults (which come free just by completing their StyleFinder quiz) to full blown 3-D renderings with paint color picks, furniture selections, and a shopping list (see a sample here). The latter of which our winner will be cashing in on this week. Woot.

MyDesignGuide Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A 3D Custom Room Design from My Design Guide (a $229 value)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GUIDE ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about when you need guidance. Do you rely on maps or navigation systems to get you where you’re going? Recipe sites and books for cooking help? Friend and family input when it comes to relationship advice? Or pro assistance at the home improvement store?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 15th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere they have the internet! Yup, this one’s global, baby.
  • 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 for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just like rewarding our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from My Design Guide.

Luckily our car has an inbuild GPS, unluckily being Germans it doesn’t seem to understand about Australian country roads and keeps sending me down dodgy little dirt tracks whenever I go, well, anywhere not in the city…

    I would love, love, love to win this! My future hubby (in 10 days!) and I are just about to settle on a house, an old brownstone that was most recently redone at the peak of 1980’s style, lots of potential and really intimidating areas to decorate. I’ve been religiously reading the blog since we found it!

    GUIDE ME! I am insane about consulting every single detail. Last time was for my baby boys Christianity at our Summer Club’s garden, and I consulted from where to buy the mantels (finally Ikea fabric), to what type and where to get the food (it was BBQ pizzas made on the spot, very good ones), and cake and cupcakes, carefully presented at a dessert table. I even consulted the drinks with family and friends, finally chose fresh fruit juices for the kids (and ladies), and beer for the men,and even the color and shape of the globes! I am insane about consutation…

    I look for guidance with everything I do. I go right to the computer and google it. Whether it’s a recipe, design ideas, or medical advice. Then I do exactly what I want to do based on the million little tidbits of information and make it my own! Warped, I know!
