What inspired you to use color? We can't imagine living in a space without color. While we are awed by those pristine white spaces you see, we simply couldn't imagine living in one. To us, color infuses a home with personality and life. We are like a kids with a box crayons. We like to just play. If it doesn't work, it's not the end of the world. We can always repaint...
Color Tip: We like a wall color that goes with a lot of other colors. We are particularly partial blues. We also buy furniture in neutral colors that go with anything. Then we go crazy with accents in things that are not costly to replace - pillows. throws, and the like. That way we can change things up as we see fit. The orange accents in the living room now get replaced with rich reds for the holidays.
Fall Colors Introduction -------------------------------
Welcome, everyone, to our Fourth Annual Fall Colors Sharing & Contest. We're looking for the most beautiful & colorful home in the world and sharing all of the great ideas we get with our readers. This year we're amping things up and hoping to do things better than ever. There are two basic phases, the Sharing Phase and the Voting Phase...
1. Sharing Phase - you comment, judges decide
The 40 best, completed entries will be posted on a daily basis for three weeks. You can view them all at anytime via our new, improved contest pages under ALL ENTRIES. During this time your comments are VERY IMPORTANT as our six judges will be choosing 16 finalists from each region based on comments and their own colorful opinion.
2. Voting Phase - you vote till you drop
Starting October 20th, finalist voting will begin on a daily basis through our new bracketed voting system, which will pit our 16 finalists against one another until only one remains. Sound exciting? We hope so.
Best, Maxwell

Both are by Sherwin Williams.
Hope that helps.

@TheoJ: you can blame the orange on me. I'm colorblind and go for high contrasts. Sandee does a great job of accommodating me. I think you'd love her squash soup, though.
@Mimi O.: Thank you. There are a lot of great photos here at AT, so that's saying something.
BTW: here's where TowerGirl/GirlInATower get's her nickname from: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maisonbisson/348551363/in/set-72157600082598295/

Awesome, awesome, awesome! And I'm so glad to hear of someone who sees sense in buying neutral furniture and decorating with bright accessories that can be changed out according to the seasons or you mood! Beautiful place!
