What inspired you to use color? In my profession as an architectural designer, I focus on remodeling and manipulating space. When we bought our own home, we could not afford to make structural changes. Instead, I used color to change the character of the rooms and the overall feel of our home.
Color Tip: pick a small palette and repeat
Colors Used: mustard, cranberry, and mixed greens
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

I love the blue wall- what color is it?

This entry is great because it uses a ton of color but without making you say "whoa, that's reaaaally bold." Very tastefully done.

Nice house. Seems like the painting over the couch should be raised an inch or two. Cutest baby picture ever!

I like all the different colors you chose for the rooms. They go well together. Also, I love the baby on the bed even though she or he does not look very happy. Where can I get one of those!?! So adorable. So much cuter than those cats people tend to put on their beds for these photograps. I like that rubber ducky too. You are so good about the details!

I love all the colors but many of the shots are so tight. I want to see more context.
