What inspired you to use color? my house started gray and white. than I tried to define space with colors. I like them a lot because they are amusing, they give me more chance to decorate my home, and give me energy particularly in winter foggy days!!!
Color Tip: you had to feel the colors you use are in harmony with you. the green use in my living before was red.it was very cool but something changed in me and it become too strong and I need to change it! but don't be scared to use them!! colors give energy!!
Colors Used: relaxing green lime for living yellow vibrant for kitchen rose for inspiration room black and white with naturals for bedroom
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

beautiful, beautiful apartment, but the yellow saturation is wrong; it must be more pastel, less bright

Love the colors! Makes me happy just looking at them. Kitty looks cute with his toy between his paws as he turns his head away from the camera. Really like what you have done here.

Thanks to all of you for positive comments!! Tord Boontje, si è lui, brava Valentina, è inconfondibile! the art work in the first foto is ikea!! and time ago I painted the house behind kitty bowls, thinking to make a wood house for my cat, and that is the front (there is its initial T for TITINA under the door) but never complete that project.may be one day..

maybe the yellow is wrong, but you had to know that the green is more dark and bright than in foto 7 and 8. that wall is among two windows and I tryed with flash,without flash and with natuyral day light to capture the real colour, but I could not. the real green is similar to foto 6 but more strong.
