Jamie's favorite OTHER entry:
I had a difficult time selecting my favorite entry (other than my own), but think that #35 Mid West, Cincinnati, Ohio – JD Design displays great color, fashion, and good design sense. Truly WOW!

In my home I have so many treasures, but my newly acquired blue Murano glass has to be my favorite thing. I have it prominently displayed in the kitchen, the hub of my home where all can appreciate its beauty.

I love the flower decals in the bedroom- where are those from?

Nice touch with the red shoes :)

Mac slideshow music?

I love the deep, rich colors that you used. The flowers on the wall are really cool.

Very unique style.

Nice idiosyncrasy here. I'm astonished that she actually has two completely decorated bedrooms. I'd have to use one as an office or TV room. Wonder what the square footage is, but I didn't see that.

Wow, this is amazing! I'd love to live in this place.

@ MCNicole
The flower decals in the bedroom are from IKEA, they're called SLÄTTHULT.

In the bedroom, I love the juxtaposition of the vintage and the modern. Love the colors.... my favorites, green and purple!! In the other bedroom I love the graphic black, white, and red,....especially, the red shoes!!

Thanks Jamie for picking me as your other favorite. :) I love your home. Our styles are different, but we both love color. Your bedroom is so pretty. Glad that we all got to see more of it. Good luck!

This was my favorite from the beginning. I think this really exemplifies the ideals of this contest- bold uses of color in unexpected ways and a truly personal color palette. It looks like a lot of love went into this place-- a lot of "finds" as opposed to just throwing money at the space. I'm wild about it.

Kitchen and living room too dark! Loved the painted poppies on the wall.

This submission is fabulous! Jamie uses colors that many of us would hesitate to, and pulls it off with much authority. The rooms are both exciting and charming. The accessories are unique and obviously were chosen with a discriminating eye. Congratulations!

I love the sexy red, white and black bedroom. How perfect for the 30 Something Single Girl who dresses and entertains to impress!!! The red wall screams..... "I am in charge!"

Love, Love, Love the kitchen... tied in the turquoise wall from the living room. Makes an area flow so much better.

This apartment is perfect for creative and busy folks who have special tastes and know what they like.

I LIKE IT!
