Name: Marita and Jens

Type of Home: House
What inspired you to use color? Perhaps the lack of color during my childhood. My parents liked brown, beige and discreet patterns. I´m quite the opposite. Bright colors makes me happy :-)
Color Tip: The seventies bright colors and big wild patterns is perfect in childrens' rooms...

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

great colors! I like your inspiration, my mom had so much furniture and collected many objects, so here I found myself being very minimalist and like you way the opposite :)
