Location: Chicago
Type: 1 bedroom condo, owned

Why I use color: To me, colors add richness and depth to a place. Whether it's a soft cream or a bright green, I prefer some color versus no color. Having lived in apartments for several years with white walls and light carpeting, any place that i have owned since then has had some color.
