Why I Should Be the Champ:
"This contest was called "I've got Color," and i think out of all these (great) finalists, i've got the Most color going on (amount of different colors).
I wanted this room to be light, fun, personal, happy and entertaining. I got the "light" by using white, got the "fun" and "personal" from all the accessories, the "happy" from the actual hues, and achieved the "entertaining" by where i placed all the colors. Because the room is grounded in neutrals, your eyes bounce from color (or color block) to color and are never bored.
(now why i WANT to win? i desperately need a new rug and some chairs for other parts of my house and CB2 has GREAT stuff- plus if i do win- you can bet i'm throwin' a party, so i'll need a few more glasses too!)"
Whose Room I liked Besides My Own:
"I guess I'd have to say Turquoise's- not for the "style"- ie, Hollywood Regency, (I didn't think this contest was about "styles" or fancy design)- but because her colors were the complete opposite of mine- where i had white, she had grey, where i had brights, she had muted tones. Her room challenged my perception of 'color.'"
I think this room is so beautifully executed. You COMPLETELY succeeded in what you were trying to do. Plus I'm in love with that credenza and your lamps. Bravo!
Great use of color & style. Well Done indeed!
WOW- not only did Ky pick me on the East Coast but you did too!
