Midwest #13: Frannie's Rambler

Name: Frannie
Location: Minneapolis, MN
Type of Home: Rambler

What inspired you to use color? I want a room that POPS. I want to live in a house that leaves an impression with the visitor, color accomplishes this.

Color Tip: Find one item, with color, that inspires you. Anything will do, a rug, a vase, a chair.... Create a room around that item, coordinating colors that work together.

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 til 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

I love the orange artwork to ridiculous extremes!! It is the focal point of the room, and it's perfect! I love how it plays off the cool blue rug. Where ever did you find the pair?? I want to steal...er..em..buy...them!!!
