What inspired you to use color? Both my husband and I gravitate towards neutrals and after re-painting a lot of our house we realized we needed to add color into our rooms.
Southwest #16: Luka & Gage Modern Ranch
Color Tip: Don't be afraid to re-do a room if you aren't feeling it after the first go round.
Colors Used: None given.
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

Ooh Petrie chair? That's the one I have my eye on...I was hoping to have my Petrie sofa and chair for the Colors Contest, but alas, the finances didn't quite work out yet! It's nice to see them used with such a dramatic backdrop!

Just curious...do you have two Eames storage units? Or did you just pick one up from under one TV and move it below the other TV for the pictures??? The stacked components on the left even look the same.

Hi - Thanks for all of the great feedback on our house! We do have two different Eames storage units, it happened unintentionally but they were really well as media centers.

Wow. Just wow. I must have your home. It's got such a great mid-century look, not just in the pieces chosen but in the allover "vibe," but not an inch of it feels dated. I'm very impressed. Now, will you come decorate my apartment for me?

Wow... can you share your paint colors and wallpaper source? Love it!

Yes, please. I am LOVING the yellow wallpaper. Could you please tell us what company/ pattern the paper is? Thanks for sharing!

Sure can!
Entry is Cole & Son's Tamarisk which I bought through Sanderson Fabrics in the UK.
Kitchen is Graham & Brown's "Amelie" in teal and the bedroom is Graham & Brown's "Midnight" in black.
Flygirl, I'm more than happy to let you know what the paint colors are, if there any specific rooms just let me know and I'll go check the paint cans in our garage.
Thanks again for all of the compliments, really made our day!

That record wall is a dream come true! It's like digging through records in my favorite record store!

Somehow I missed the first time. I just love, love, love your entire house! You did such a great job of using lots of different colors and making it fun, but not overwhelming.
Not sure my comment will even get read, but I was wondering if you could tell me the source of your entry mirror and ball pendant lighting in the kitchen. Thanks so much!
