What inspired you to use color? I am inspired by the way colors evoke moods, interact with light and texture, and instantly create an atmosphere. In my home I aimed to create a color pallet that relayed my love of ever-inspiring mid-century design...
Color Tip: If you are challenged by creating a color scheme for your entire house, look around at all of your beloved home accessories and knickknacks. Most often your personal color scheme is right there!
Colors Used: All Benjamin Moore: Soft Pumpkin, Mocha Brown, Iced Cube Silver, Covington Blue, Robin's Nest, Pale Jade
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 think this is my favorite so far. Love everything about it! Clean, cozy, beautiful.

That windowseat is so great and I love your living room. I am not a patterned curtain fan but you really used them nicely in your rooms.

Love the wallpaper and the drapes in the kitchen. Where did you get the curtains? I especially love the wide shot of the living room - really good, controlled use of colors. The chocolate doesnt overwhelm the couch, the coffee table and the chocolate coordinate without matching. Quite lovely and sophisticated.

I really love this one. The natural light is excellent and that baby room is a-dor-a-ble.

I really, really like this tour. And I'm hoping some kind soul knows where the sofa is from because it's fabulous.

Wow! Thank you so much for your comments! To answer some questions: The printed curtains in the kitchen are panels of Marimekko fabric. The rug in the living room is from CB2 (last year). The couch is from Bo Concepts. The bedside lamps are from Ikea. The prints over the sofa are from the Charlie Harper book that's sitting on the coffee table! Thanks again!

Really great -- especially love the couch, and yay for Joom pillows! Where are the great giraffe pillows from?

The images of this home have forced me to re-examine my current life path (I constantly travel for business). Warm, fun, welcoming and yet timelessly cool. To me it appears the decor was gathered over a long period of time--an effort that usually leaves interiors looking disjointed to those who attach no sentimental value to the keepsakes on display. Here everything falls into place. It is as if the lamp, the wall paper and the aforementioned prints were fated to meet in Jamie's living room. Way to go. Now if I could only get my hotel room in Moscow to look like that.
I think it's clear: we have a winner.

Danke Schön!

This is by far my favorite room. So warm and inviting. Obviously the designer has immense talent decorating with color. Flawless comes to mind when I view each room. Everything from the furniture to the wallpaper flows together perfectly. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want this designer to come to my home.

hey Jamie...this is R&R ranch. i would have faced you in this round had i moved through yesterday. i would have enjoyed the face-off, as i really like your space and use of color.
if you are concerned about any strange voting patterns today, i would encourage you to contact the editors. it's important to note if/when strange things happen, as they did last night when over 40 votes were cast for entry #56 (my competitor) in about 15 minutes at 2:15 am., making me lose by 9 votes. i'm not bitter, just worried that this is more of a popularity contest, rather than a 'use of color' design contest.
again, i would have liked to compete against you.

Clean-cozy-beautiful-that 1st comment said it all. I love it.
Your dormer window seat reminds me of the one I had growing up-but yours is even better. Love your simple pictures on the LR wall-cute idea. Nice-really nice. Loved you
paint colors on the walls.

I thought the face off yesterday with you and the Chromatic Casa was a tough one. I really enjoy your space a lot. Thank you for sharing!

Jamie - You were our favorite as well. I figured if we could make it out of the Southwest bracket we'd lose to you. I just love your home!

Beautiful, beautiful job! I loved the wallpaper, loved the painted walls, I loved the curtains. I loved the art work in the living room. So creative and sensitve!
The only thing that left me cold was the 20's - 40's diva art grouping.
Do we ever get to see what you did with the kitchen or bathroom?
Thank you for entering the contest. You have given a lot of people inspiration and pleasure.
