apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

cat

I'd probably make a collage of some of my favorite pictures. It'll make me want to answer the phone, even if it's a telemarketer!

Ooh, I'd put in seasonal pics... maybe our garden right now. Or I'd hand draw graphics. Fun!

I really like black and white paisleys.

A picture of my dog.

It would have to be the king of the house--our dog, Darwin.

I would decorate it with cut up pictures my friend and I took one night with sparklers and the long exposure setting on her camera. super cool white/bright/swirling lines!

i think i would put a picture of "the scream" the scream

cause that's how i feel most of the time when i'm on the phone ha ha ha!

I'm going to use a piece of my artwork entitled "tree of life". It's a digital version of a mixed media piece with lots of book pages (maybe a good way to remind me to read instead of spending time on the phone).

Queen Anne's Lace!

My favorite flower, and oh-so-awesome. I'm on of those AT-ers who still has a landline... and gawd! it is ugly! so this would be a very happy addition to our home!

I would put my mother's face on it. She's the only one who calls my landline anymore.

probably something floral. Something relaxing =)

beach crashing onto the rocky shores of the mayan riviera mexico. (my bf was just married there)

NYC subway map. I'm moving back to the city after 6 yrs away, and I need to reacquaint myself.

happy face

Rotary phone

probably something naughty!!! ;)

I would a image of my daughter.

I was just looking online to buy a new phone! his onelooks awesome!

Thank you for the great giveaway!

My feet: they're my best feature.

flowers from my garden!

I have a great photo I took last year of a huge blossoming water lily on a pond in Ueno Park in Tokyo.

A closeup of fur, to give it a little warmth!

i'm feeling nautical, so something related to ships on the open sea.

Vacation pictures

I'd put a picture of an antique phone on the back!

A rabbit (don't ask).

def a picture of a phone

Probably and illustration from one of my favorite artists.
My old vtech just died so I could really use this!

I would put teddy bears all over it. thank you

I will insert a beautiful art nouveau selection, probably something from Aubrey Beardsley. I love the idea of a custom designed phone. Lovely!

Andy Warhol print.

I would rotate it, until I got lazy, starting with blue & white paper that matches my kitchen.

Probably a fractal image or some sort of vector art... yay math art!

I'd choose the orange bubblies : )

Picture of the Statue of Liberty

'Flaming June', by by Frederic Lord Leighton. Sideways, probably...

A Pucci print!

I'll probably use one of my b&w photos.

pics of my kids

my husband is an amateur photographer and he has taken quite a good number of beautiful pictures of our travels. i'd probably put in one of his paris pictures to remind us of good times and to go back!

pictures on a house phone? neat!

a picture of myself!! hehehe

promo material from the last play I worked on.

LOVE IT!

The cat - why not? Her face is on everything else that's personalized.

it says i can upload my own photos. well then its got to be a photo of my family

juicy summer oranges

lucky for me I have a "staff" to customize it for me!....one daughter is an artist/computer literate... so she would do the design... another daughter is a jewelry designer... so she would then attach jewelry like items all over it.....
then my littlest son would lose it, the dog would find it & chew the jewels off... then we would start all over w/ a new design!!!

i will put a pic of my dog

Dog

Sweet! I'll add pictures of my daughter.

I'd have to put some photos of my kids artwork on there!

I've got a cool red lamp on my desk. So how about putting a phone with an image of my cool red lamp on my desk... next to my cool red lamp.

I'd put a Bumblebee (Autobot) graphic on it.

I like the pretty purple design that I saw on the VTech website. I'd probably use that or something else in purple.

I think I'd like to start out w/ a picture of Snoopy (my puppy), but I can always change it...

The Seasonal Pics are really nice

A picture of my kitties, of course.

pictures of my family of course!

seasonal pics.

A picture of Lilly Tomblin as "Ernestine the operator"!

a hot dog! ( in a bun of course)haha.

We have the best skyline in chicago - I think I'm going to use that view to set it off.

I would have a collage of pictures all of all 4 of my kids....

A picture of my wonderful hubby holding my beautiful 9week old baby boy.

I would switch pictures out frequently to keep it interesting!

My wife would probably use some of the border i just put in the kitchen.

A picture of Helga Schneider, who sings "Telefon Man".

Apples!

steampunk it!

My ear! So it looks transparent :)

The view from my living room window of Wallocet Bay-really neat view.

Orange is my favorite color. If I won this phone I would design something in photo shop that captures the perk and crispness of orange that I love. I would insert an image with fruit, or perhaps a sunset, or better yet flowers; as a representation of my new found love and skill at gardening.

I would make one of St. Augustine, the ocean, so I can always look at it's beauty.

i looove the black and white paisleys!

The kids (my dogs)

A labrador puppy.

My baby boy!

a bright colored silhouette of floral or tree pattern

I think I would put my shopping list or to do list on the phone and that way I could not avoid what needed to be done!

I would use a Mark Ryden miniture painting.

A picture of my cats!

A picture of my two corgis-Tobias and Emily

A picture of my two dogs would be the picture I would choose, Thanks for the opportunity

A collage of the kids and pets

Ooh... I'd put one of those graphic type prints with a bunch of my friends numbers on it so that I don't have to pull out the cell phone to find their numbers.

I'd either put the kids or pets or both! That's such a cool phone!

the obama campaign logo

the picture of my beautiful grandkids. ah now that will be beautiful

definitely pics of my children

A picture from the gardens at Chatsworth, in England!

A pic of my house!

family pics especially my daughter Lauren and also my five year old niece who I have nicknamed giggle guts

A traditional mexican pottery pattern to match my kitchen!

a photo of the sun setting in mykonos greece, my favorite place in the world!

I would definitely put a picture of my favorite hydrangeas on the phone. The image would remind me of my favorite beach places, and put a smile on my face when I am using the phone.

I'm not sure either a picture of my kids or a really pretty pattern of some sort.

A tall prickly cactus with a nice orange or red flower blooming. Then I can check the caller ID and decide if answering the phone will put me in a prickly situation or not! ;0)

still-life of citrus, playing off the orange, definitely.

My bicycle - love to get out on the road

I would put a serene tropical scene.

I would love a picture of Nibiru.

I'd probably get my sister-in-law to design something for me and then make the whole thing a gift for my mom.

I think I would photograph detailed instructions on how to use this phone.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN ANSWERING MACHINE TO TALK TO PEOPLE I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO AND ALLOW THEM TO THINK THAT THEY WERE TALKING TO ME IN PERSON.

What a great idea for a phone. I would love to customize the handset with a picture of my sons on it. Thanks for this great giveaway.

a picture collage of my family would be nice :)

If it had circles i would put lime green and waterfall blue on there. i like that retro look. i know it's not a complicated design but i think it works. kind of a polka dot 60's theme. lol thank you!

Argyle!

cat pics

I have been toying with paisley designs using puffy paint and I did my cell phone recently and it came out awesome! Would love to do a new design on this......

photo from my trip lat fall to Burma

Wow how I could really use this since my phone's battery wont hold a charge even with the new battery I just recently bought.

I would put a picture of my 3 kids on this. What a great idea for a phone design.

A piece of cute vintage giraffe wrapping paper that I have (black and white with touches of red). Cute!

Photos of a recent mixed media painting--including hand beaded robes on deep blue velvet set into a paint-by-numbers Virgin de Guadalupe. Would be awesome to have a properly working phone; the ancient handset we have now weighs a ton and is a not so lovely discolored pinkish beige.

My latest vacation pictures.

Do I have to customize it? I like simple things.

a neat picture of my kids and grandkids doing a cheerleader squad pose

I'd like mine with a mini big-bang scene since it's beautiful and caotic at the same time just like our lives.

my little dog tyson

I would upload pics from my last vacation to Arches National Park.

pictures of my kids and grandkids!:)

Yay!

picture of Eagle Beach in Aruba.

I'd go with the black on their regular palette.

I would enjoy customizing it with my teenage daughter's artwork. She is so gifted in drawing and graphic design. I know she would feel like a million dollars if I asked for her design. I love this option...so very cool!

plan to customize with son's art work

skyline of an imaginary city!

Nice...We could really use a new phone as our old one has all the numbers wore off.

happy sesonal pics

I would probably use my husband's and my engagement picture. It had a bright blue sky in the background, and I think that would be a great contrast to the orange on the phone.

A pic of my dog :)

A design to match my house or a picture of my three beautiful grandkids.

A soccer ball

A picture of my baby boy

A picture of my cat Mark, i know not too orginal, but he goes so well with the house!

Hard to say really. Maybe a cat pic.

My dogs!

I would put pictures of my cats and dogs!

I would put a picture of my daughter on the phone. After all, she is my pride and joy! :-)

I'd love to use a family picture. This way we could all be together whenever I'm at work.
Fantastic giveaway!

I would use a picture of my bunnies.

I would probably upload pics I've taken of nature and wildlife over the years

I'd put a picture of a sock monkey. It's the right shape, and I just kinda like me some sock monkeys, you know?

I would use an image from my trip to Hawaii.

My fur-kids, Buddy & Kadie.

pictures of my cats.

I'd choose the pink phone, then use the on-line tool to customize with polka dots or flowers......

I would use a picture of my adorable niece and nephews, since I spend more time on the landline phone with them than anyone else and I miss them so much!

Futurama related picture :)

i agree with bipolarbear. putting the photo of the cat would definitely do.

Pictures of my daughter in Dallas because that is who I would be calling.

probably the picture of the stupa I took when i was in Nepal. Or maybe of a pretty bonsai tree.

I would love to do a family pix or maybe the Starbucks logo!

close-up of a cholla or prickly pear cactus--just for a double-take

the scream

I'd put vacation pictures on it.

photoshop a pic of my 3 dogs and cat together since I would never be able to photograph them together at the same time!

Tough choice- I should pick Ian, but I might choose a beach, vacation or flamingo instead. I'm all about the tropical.

kid's artwork

something abstract, i'd have to know the dimensions before choosing a pic!

I love beach photos

phone haiku:

Vtech cordless phone
Would be great with a beach scene
And no survey calls.

we have a picture of st. thomas and beautiful blue water

I'd probably put an ocean scene.. I long to go back to the sea!

I like a couple of the limited edition graphics so I would probably go with one of them...this would be a much needed win since our current cordless phone is on its last gasp!!!

i want to win

I would put a picture of my black pug puppy. She's just loves the camera so I'm always taking lots of pictures of her when she's doing something silly which she tends to do a lot of the time.

I would make my own design and upload it on the Vtech site. I was thinking a swirled orange design.

I need a phone!

Rex Ray collage.

a picture of my cat laying on her back!

I put a picture of the apartment therapy website.... actually, I would probably just put a nice image of some birds.

A photo of the band Kiss in full makeup!!! (...I wanna rock and roll all night...)

Hmm, either some badgers (ring ring ring ring ring ring ring BANANAPHONE!) or the peanut butter jelly banana. Because it would crack me (and my guests!) up every time the phone rang. Awesome.

I love rhinos...so RHINOS!

my kids portrait

a photo I took from the plane of Popocatepetl in Mexico. very cool.

I'd put in a photo of my new dog, gigi just recently rescued from a shelter.

My first inclination is to use an image of the other side of the phone. but I because would give this to my mother so I would put all the phone numbers she needs to know on it.

Our guinea pig, Cloudy.
