First place: Sam's Chocolate Crash Pad

Quotes from the judges on Sam's room:

I thought the use of color was terrific - dark chocolate walls and white furniture as the backdrop and then dashes and pops of color all around the room keep it lively and fresh.

I love how the all of the accessories in the room, from the Ugly Dolls, to the animal decals give the room a light feel which playfully contrasts the darkness of the chocolate.

Dark brown almost seems antithetical to a child's room, but combining it with shades of green, blue and orange not only make those colors stand out, but makes the chocolate modern and striking.

We had such a good time with all of you. Thanks for coming out on a chilly November night to celebrate our color contest winners with us. It was fantastic to see familiar faces and meet new ones, so much fun applauding Midwest Regional 1st place finisher John on his win and great to chat with our talented judges, from the CB2 Crew and Alicia and Robert of Unison. Party photos are on their way.

A quote from one of our judges sums up the joy of well chosen color in Dan and Amy's modern family home - as The CB2 Crew says: "It takes amazing talent to go this bold and pull such vibrant, rich colors together so well. The fun and energy is undeniable and infectious. The eclectic mix isn't overdone and complements the colors used to express their personalities. "

We have the judges' choices, but what say the people? While switching to judges for the finals ensures a more accurate (and calmer) result, we're always more interested in what the rabble has to say.
