Fall Colors Introduction -------------------------------

fallcolors1.jpgWelcome, 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

i love your bathroom & hate the decor of the bedroom. The leopard bedding and wicker furniture are not a good combo. The color of the walls is pretty though.

What color is your yellow-green wall? I have looked at a few BM yellow-greens and can't quite decide on one.

What's a britto?

Also, honey, no: not the leopard-skin duvet. Just, no.

Love the colour in the bathroom and while I would never use a bright yellow in the bedroom, it looks really good in your over the top bedroom.

**also, i've seen this on several entires... why are people posting the same picture 2 or 3 times? is this some sort of site issue?

i think you're off to a great start. needs a bit of culling/editing. the taupe/grey sofa had a rather deadening effect, though. might just be me. great colors on the walls.
