Fall Colors Introduction -------------------------------
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 till 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

The tile in the bathroom is beautiful - I just wish they had continued it all the way up

Where did you get the roller counter? The one that rests the iMac? I'm been looking for one just like that!!!

Aw I adore the bathroom tile...I agree, bepsf, I wish they had gone all the way up! I'm also not sure it goes with the river rock flooring...I love both elements individually, though. I wouldn't be able to choose just one of them either :)

Awesome! You sound like a really fun family. And those little parachuting bears painted on the nursery walls are so cute.
