Name: Matt & Rob 
What inspired you to use color? The two of us have very different taste and style when it comes to our home. The challenge was to take a more modern aesthetic and find a way to warm it up so that we both felt it reflected our personalities. Color was a really important part of that.
Color Tip: Sometimes it’s really hard to be patient when you decide that you want to make a change to a room. The trick is to find the right balance between just going with your gut instinct and taking your time to find just the right shade or color.
Colors Used: Pear Green, Cream Fleece, & Tuscon Red (Benjamin Moore)
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 run in to the same problem with my wife i like modern she like traditional, and mixing them can be hard.
nice lamps, picked those up this weekend for the side tables we are having built.
did you add any extra weight to them? They seem to be a little on the light side and might get knocked over, i am thinking of epoxying a bunch of marbles to the inside of the base. Cheapest thing i could figure out to do besides rocks...

Thanks. The Jasper sofa and Zurich metal bed are both from Room & Board. The bed was discontinued a few years ago, though I've seen it for sale on Craigslist (or maybe it was AT's classifieds.)

Modern warmth. What a great concept! The decor is extremely crisp and clean - while also exuding a "homey" ambiance. I could easily see myself redecorating with a similar feel. Great job guys!

As a Real Estate agent it's nice to see such a fresh approach to use of color and attention to detail. I would love to show a home like this. You should be staging properties!
