I love bright colours in a home. The purple bedroom is a little too much purple for my taste, but otherwise - I love everything about this place.

I just painted a chest in the bathroom turquoise & it was so uplifting. Can't do this much color in a rental, but loved everything about this house.

And that's how you do colors !! I'm not a fan of the purple bedroom, but this is a color I've always disliked, so it's not a criticism at all. Otherwise, the house is just fabulous !!!

My favorite may be the kitchen, and I really really love the yellow/green living room.

Were any of these rooms entered in the Room for Colour comp, cause I think a couple of them are better than the winner was! But I agree about the purple....what is it about purple that makes it so disagreeable?

I love the color and the rooms seem so neat and organized. The Heywood
Wakefield dresser is great. Great home.

This house is so well done ! I love the cheery colors that are also quite elegant. I'm not a fan of purple generally, (esp in fabrics) but would love to have your purple bedroom for my own--it -- it's amazing. The greys room is also amazing with the minimal feel and ... I'm not sure which room I like best. Bold and lively and happily livable. Excuse me, while I go get some orange paint fro my laundry room.

Wow - I love your home, it's so bright and cheerful! I also love that it's uncluttered, but not cold. One of my favorite AT house tours ever!

They really livened up the place! Very daring but they did it well.

Ok, I was prepared to not like this based on the name of the post (c'mon people, you were thinking it too) but it's wonderful! I want to live in your house. Love it all, even the purple bedroom.

whoa wicked bright colors! Really loved it all except the purple room. I think the problem with that room is that the bedspread was purple too and since the bed is the largest object in the room and it matches the wall, it makes the space more encroaching that it actually is. Still, love the place overall!

Every room is so alive! Why weren't these entered into Room for Color??? The combo of that green wall + pinkish abstract painting + teal chair kills me, it's fantastic. Love your color commitment, wish we saw more like this on AT.

Love the colors. And I am a huge Pete the cat fan! Love it.

owww, my head hurts! too much cheerfulness. not my thing, but obviously done well and well loved.

I spy Pete the Cat! Fun to see an Atlanta artist in a house tour.

Love all the colors. Did you enter the Color Contest? Great job! I think the purple bedroom would have looked much better if the bedding was a little more neutral than purple. I don't think it's the purple that is disaggreeable but the amount of it. :)

Great use of color.

Normally, I don't like this much color, but the white ceilings, baseboard and molding plus the minimalism style decorating really makes this house pop.

I definitely wish you had entered the Color Contest as well.

I really enjoy the bright colors and your blonde heywood wakefield furniture is gorgeous.

Really beautiful and vibrant - usually I'm not a fan of this much color because it's paired with a more-is-more mentality, but your light touch and genius color pairings are very elegant.

Oh I LOVE the kitchen floor. Is there any grout or are they butted right up against each other or what? Do you have any details on the brand or any other details on it? The look is fantastic.

The pictures are very pretty but there's no way I'd paint rooms like that again. When we were younger we painted our living room this really intense turquoise. I felt like I was living in a clown's pocket.

I love what they've done (I wish I was that brave with colour) This does seem to be a pretty much run of the mill floor plan that has been turned into a one of a kind gem. I'd love to know where the cat cushions came from. We're cat fans in my home , too.

I love the gray office and pretty much all the color choices. The photography is stunning, too.

Love the colors and decor.

Is it wrong that my favorite pic is of the cat?

Nobody with a boob chandelier should ever score a house tour.

This is fantastic. Your home is so fresh and bright. LOVE all your design choices!

OMG Pete the cat!! I have at least 5 Pete prints myself :-) I love the wall color in the kitchen (surfer).

Wow. Just... wow! The green in the living room isn't my cup of tea, but no matter. You did an excellent job peronalizing your home and giving it real personality.

Living room looks straight out of an IKEA catalogue. But I'd prefer that too boring white!

Love, love, love, love, love, love...etc. Thank you for having the vision and bravery to execute such a fantastic array of colour. It's quite inspiring!

I love the purple bedroom AND its bedding. I also love seeing the colors of one room through the doorway of another. I bet that was a consideration of yours because it turned out so well.

Add me to the list of people who wish you'd entered the RFC contest.

I felt that I would not like this house tour but I'm glad I ignored my gut. The color selection is fantastic! I love that the all the room colors complement every other room,the hallway, and even the flooring. With all that color it still just flows; they really know their color hues and tones. Very impressive!

as this represents my tase 100% i absolutely adore every single picture of their home!

I've wanted to paint our home since last year, when we moved in, but i didn't dare to because I love popping colors and wasn't sure if they would overkill, so I left everything white. our floors are also nearly, as they are in a really light tone of marmor-stone. the white&white look really only looks good in those perfect catalog-homes with white-only furnishings and which never have any stuff that wouln't match the theme... at our place it just looks... plain and uncozy!

maybe after this pics I dare to use some popping colors on our walls, as my husband likes them too and I shouldn't listen to what people may say about it, as long as we love it :)

I meant our floors are also nearly white - sorry...

Not only did these homeowners chose very bright colors- they chose very *difficult* colors to decorate around-yet they've pulled it off beautifully.

Great job-kudos!

Love this SO much! Especially the study - very well done. What a great place to come home to every day!

And woot, Cookeville! Way to represent!

This is wonderful! I would love coming home to these cheerful colors every day. Even though I'm not a fan of purple, I thought that the purple bedroom was beautifully done, and I was almost convinced that I could live with a room that color.

Amazing! I too love the purple bedroom just as it is.
Color this bold is a daring step. It all just dances from one room to another. Bravo!

Stunning! I especially love the dining room -from the floors, to the walls, to the furniture. So clean and well done.

very, very clever! i love the colours individually (even, nay especially, the purple), but the home as a whole is a piece of art... the complimentary colour combinations as you look through one room to the next are fabulous. i particularly like the lime green and purple, turquoise and orange. i think this is how you have managed to pull off so much vivid colour without it becoming overpowering. nice job!

I appreciate all of the cat stuff!!!!

Way to be fearless and go for colour. Wish I was as bold! ;)

I love the purple bedroom, it looks very soothing and like a great place to relax. Where did the cat pillows in the den come from?

Can I echo the LOVE for the purple bedroom? It looks luxurious, lovely and totally relaxing to me! And what a wonderful selection of cat accessories (especially Pete himself)! Also adore the Surfer blue in the kitchen. I rent, but the next time I paint a piece of furniture ... :)

Aw, this is definitely a lot of color, but the editing of this home is just spot on! I imagine it would be such a fun place to live in and visit as friends and family!

Love the kitty. LOVE.

Go color or go home! WOW what a great tour! Love all the rooms even the purple bedroom.

The office is amazing.

Incredible use of colors and kittehs!

I LOVE it! And very, very kitty-friendly, too!

Love!

OMG !!! I cant believe someone has a house like this in cookeville, I went to TTU and lived there for 4 yrs... Love your Home !!! The bright colors to every piece of furniture.. everything is just perfect.

*Snowdin* that is hilarious! Although the whole house is a bit much for me, I much prefer when people are daring and do what they want to do, than conform to greige and white and dull minimalism. Purple is a dividing colour to be sure... strange it's either love or hate.

Fantastic colour combos! Such a wonderful home. Thanks for this tour, so refreshing!

The bedrooms are great (the green one is perfection!) and I love the grey bathroom, too. And the cat, of course. Such a fun house tour! :)

Edyta Purzycka!! Always a lovely investment!

The house is fabulous. And I am a HUGE fan of the purple bedroom. I wouldn't change a thing. Congrats!

Your kitty - siamese-tabby mix? - is gorgeous. Also love your house!

even the cat's nose is cute! i love the purple bedroom and appreciate the boldness of your color scheme. very tastefully done. thanks for sharing!

Just fresh!! I LOVE your dining table!!

Awesome!
It looks so cohesive...Well done.

I love the colors you chose to sight from room to room-please enter in the color contest nest year!

Hooray for real colors! These are the ones I always gravitate to on the paint color cards. The colors and furnishings look great together. I also like your pretty kitty.

Kudos to anyone brave enough use such bold colors. I LOVE color; it's so reflective of various personalities. I love several pieces of the furniture and accessories, all of which are arranged in a coherent, fun design!

genius! not just what you've done, but how you've done it.

Pleeeeeeeze: What is the source of the red rug.
Thanks, ever so much.

I LOVE your happy blue kitchen! Also would you please give me the source for the cat pillow in the blue chair? My aunt is a cat fantatic and would go crazy. For bright colors - I found your house very relaxing! Great job!

Hi all. Thank you for the wonderful comments! We were shocked at the overwhelming response! To answer a few questions: We didn't know about the color contest- but will definitely enter next year! ; The kitchen floor is a porcelain tile from Daltile and it is just grouted with the same color. ; The kittie pillows in the blue Eames chairs are from Pangea in Nashville. Again, Thank you all very much for your wonderful comments!!!!

Oh and the red rug came from IKEA in Atlanata.

Oh and The red rug came from IKEA in Atlanta. Thanks!

This is so inspiring. What kind of paper (weight?) did you use to cover your books? I am so stealing this idea!

Despite the colors these rooms are well coordinated and the color schemes are balanced. They show that the owners are talented and have thought out the arrangement of the rooms. I personally would not be able to spend two minutes in the living room. That color makes me look like I have liver cancer and makes me a little nauseous. Very few people look good in neon colors.

Love! I have a purple guest room and a turquoise living room, so I was immediately drawn to this tour.

To luckylemon: The paper for the books came from Hollanders in Ann Arbor, MI. Don't know the weight of the paper exactly, but would be about Medium weight. You can see what they have at Hollanders.com - somewhere around 1600 different papers.

And did want to give a shout out to Lisa's Mom for doing the book bindings! she rocks!

I love that you weren't afraid of color when decorating your home! So original

absolutely loves those colours!!!

Lisa - I can't believe I found this but I am not surprised that this is your home. It is absolutely awesome. I love the colors and everything about it! Great work.
Heather
