apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Love love love your place! I'm especially in love with your living room and that vibrant red you've used. And I love those vintage dining chairs. Adorable.

Living room is similar to mine, same red and black color scheme. Love the sunny yellow!

Yik. Only the red works.

I love everything that's in these pictures. I wish, though, that more of the space could be seen in a "panorama" kind of way, instead of semi-exclusively close-ups.

Love those red walls!!!!!

There is something missing. I can't exactly say, but I am intrigued by the personality who put together a small showplace, where there are no books on book cases, evenly matched frames, and books and framed art exclusively of and about Negritude. Does anyone actually live there?

Love the main shot of the red living room! It works really well with the black accents and white sofa.

I agree with Usbeck, some books of the shelves would be a nice touch.

And although the rest of the apartment is not my personal taste, I do applaud the use of bright and lively colors throughout. You'll never have a dull winter day at home, that's for sure!

Seems to me that you don't have to crave any more :)
Beautiful colors.

"...some books of the shelves would be a nice touch."

Maybe they're being used as an end table in the other room...
:-\

I love the Living Room - Great Job...
..and the bedroom has a cool "I Dream Of Jeannie" vibe that's kinda fun.

I was thinking the bedroom had a HAREM feel. It's a little too girlie for a HE-MAN like me but it's got color.

It's perfect for all four seasons actually.

I especially enjoy the yellow walls and bright colors in the dining room - an excellent way to brighten up a sad winter day!

Great colors I love it! It looks very welcoming and at the same time it is very sophisticated too.

the dining chairs are great

i love the bed duvet cover and pillows!

wow this place is superb and colorful..... definetly a brightness on a bleak day. The haram room is interesting but the yellow walls and asian accents are cool

I love everything it has a Moroccan flavor. The bedding reminds me of Marrakesh. I like the display of photos instead of books on the bookcase shelves. I especially love the whole Josephine Baker vibe I thought she was forgotten. Overall the use of color and design is inspirational.

i think it's very vibrant and uplifting. you really made this space your own and the paint is juxtaposed nicely with the furniture colors and it all complements your artwork nicely. good job!

After viewing the other submissions I had to comment again. Great use and commitment to non-safe color choices. A central theme is find though-out the design tying the rooms to together. Classy I did not have look at toilets, trash cans, beds without head boards or the same baby blue and olive again. Finally someone that understands what warm color use is and the design is not to busy. Has a warm lived in feel.

Classy!!!

Yummy Yellow!! Sensual Reds. Royal Purples. You know how to work your colors. Style, sophistication, and color. This is what this contest is all about!

home should be an oasis from the hustle and bustle from the outside world and Devin's does that with her use of color for vibrancy and calm in all the right places.

I may have her come and do my place!

Brilliant color!!!! I love that she chose rich gemstone hues -- very ethnic (a plus), but also warm and inviting.
