apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

LOVE the red paper lanterns with that wall!

I love seeing all the cats in the entries!

I love the green in your living room. It looks clean and bright with all the white elements.

I think we can turn this contest into a Spot the Cat contest as well!

can you share the info of the rug in the living room?
thanks :)

I LOVE IT!!

I loooove the green and white living room. I also love the yellow on the kitchen walls with the pink, yellow, and green paper lanterns. I'm not into red walls at all (having laboriously painted over that color previously, ugh, two coats of primer and a coat of paint, I was worn out!) but I do like the way you subtly carried it into the kitchen in the area under the cabinets.

You nearly sneaked that Occasional Cat right by me! His black and white looks so formal in that white chair and in front of that lovely red pillow that looks like a rose. Almost like he's wearing a tux and waiting for his date.

Love the striking use of greens with reds...but that cat???

Yes, "bright & refreshing" indeed. :)

Thats not a green I would ever imagine liking but you've worked it perfectly with the other elements, especially the red. More I think about it, more I wish I could have it in my place.

Your living room furniture is really bad but the brightness and crispness of the colors made it easy to overlook. This is the perfect example of how adding inexpensive color can save the day and make the entire room sing.

I love this entry. The colors are bright and happy and the eclectic decor is very homey and creative. And I like its southern charm.

Nice and homey, yes I agree. Comfy.

Now someone has to have a dog somewhere!

Fabulous living room. It looks like such a cozy and happy place to hang out in.

Love the fireplace too. It makes me want to paint my hideous, dark red brick fireplace bright white.

I love how cozy this place looks. Good job using paint colors to create a mood.

ooh, this place looks so crisp and homey. The paper lanterns used throughout are really unexpected and wonderful - I especially love the red lanterns against the mint green wall.

LOVE the fuschia color in the butler's pantry... and how you can see it alongside the rich red in the dining. i love putting colors that sort of argue gently in conversation with each other. stunning home.

Your beautiful bright, white trim makes me emerald with envy. I live in a rental and can't touch my dark, dated woodwork. You're so lucky. Nice work.

Love the green

I LOVE the red, and I love that celery green! I've been seeing so much extra-vibrant lime in the contest, which I also like, but the lighter, tamer color looks really cool and fresh and ahhh where lime can be very hot and tangy. So nice!

I love how this space seems so calm and relaxing while still feeling very "alive." Greens are my favorite, and its great to see several hues working harmoniously!

beautiful, bright and sunny!!! Great job!!!!!

Those lanterns are a great touch!

I wish I could vote! Too late. Instafinalist from me anyway. Amazing red dining room!
