What inspired you to use color? Hard to be in a bad mood when you are around bright colors.

Color Tip: All colors go 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

Jennie here.
Thank you so much for your comments. I obviously love color. Since we are renting this old house I am not allowed to do certain things such as paint all walls, change the carpet or kitchen floor. Of course if the place was mine the trim would not be brown either...
The kitchen is full of my grannies things, makes me very happy to have her around. She would have preferred the if the wall were not white and the cabinets were not brown, but what can you do..
Thanks again.

Wow! This is amazing! The decorator should have her own show on TV! I LOVE the EAT GOOD FOOD in the kitchen - very unique - out of the box - and not "store bought" in any of the rooms. Kudos!

Jennie,
On our "girls weekend," Sharon showed us your rooms and we were all amazed! You have never heard so many "how cute!"s, "how cool!"s, and "I love it!"s in your life! You have wonderful design sense and creativity, mixed with boldness and humor! All the while you've created a home that is friendly and livable....makes me want to come over, , sit at the kitchen table and talk with you while we sip tea, then retreat to the living room, pick out a good book and relax! Bravo!
Jeanne Hickey (we enjoyed meeting you at Todd and Kerry's wedding!)
