Name: Jennifer Jade
Location: St. Louis, MO
Type of Home: Condo

What inspired you to use color? My favorite designer, Coco Chanel, inspired the specific use of colors in my condo. I wanted the space to portray something classic with a modern, chic feel. I used variations of known Chanel colors (black and white)...producing beautiful gray and beige undertones.
Color Tip: The one color tip I would recommend is always go a shade darker or lighter than what you orginially picked as the color. This will make the color choice a MORE dramatic tone!
Colors Used: Ralph Lauren Chrome, Porter Paint Devine White, Glidden Fine Silver
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
Chic, Dramatic spaces!
I'd love to be invited for cocktails...

I think this would be a great entry for a winter colors contest. Classy looking place.

I agree that this is a lovely place, but I don't feel it's appropriate at all for the colors contest - at least the fall colors contest. I find it very elegant, but extremely boring and lackluster in the color department.

i have to share this w/ you though. here is a video tour of chanel's home. although i do like your choices, it's not very chanel, unless you meant the actual store.

I agree- those pillows on the bed freak me out. But, overall, I love the use black or black/brown color. Could have provided better photos, though. The close ups of the candles and clock just aren't doing it for me.

I think it is lovely and classy. Last time I checked, gloomy, cloudy days were part of fall colors.
