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

I like it! I have one of those kone vacuums too. They're awesome. Your door knocker is beautiful.

Great colors, used well. It looks like a comfortable, happy home!
I do have one bone to pick, and it's just a little something that I tend to notice. We all love Ribba frames -- they're a great value for a simple, sleek shape. But, the large size [I see several in this home] comes with a mat that's completely not in proportion with the frame. It really bugs me to see work displayed in a way that doesn't seem intentional, and using the default mats that come with this frame definitely seems that way to me [especially when you're framing something like a repeating pattern].
