apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


I've Got Color! Monday: The Fall Colors Contest

9-18-color-image.jpgOpen to submissions from anywhere in the world! Guess what's starting in 48 hours? Our other big contest of the year, I've Got Color!: The Fall Colors Contest, is kicking off. Sponsored by colorful CB2 and sporting over $6000 worth of prizes, this is bound to be our biggest yet.

Because color is a powerful part of interior design and the cheapest way to change a room, we are taking a month so find the most ingenious and beautiful submissions from our readers involving the use of color in the home. It can be via paint, pillows, lampshades or whatever your imagination has come up with. Not using color yet? You still have time to pull out a paintbrush and get to work. The final deadline is nearly a month away...

Do you have a link to the winning entries of last year's contest? Sorry if I have overlooked it. Thanks.

Olga,
I hope you are entering one of those mad stenciled spaces!

Oh, yes, Olga -- I hope you enter your bedroom with the gorgeous walls! Actually, just one square inch, any square inch, of your apartment would win, in my opinion... (do you get the feeling I really like what you've done with your apartment?)

Another Goddamn contest? Wake me when it's over!

thanks girls, that makes me smile ...

i was wondering about it, thinking that maybe entering the bedroom would be a bit egregious ... but the kitchen is in the works now, making a chromogasmic appearance soon ... ;)

Every room in our house is a different color.
Monet did that also.
Think it fits the many moods of our lives.
Choose color like clothing to suit yourself.
Don't be lead by trends.

Led not lead!!!!

I love contests and may just enter.

so i've decided i'm definitely entering this. and my roommate has given the go-ahead (i was worried he'd think it was creepy, or worse yet, completely narcissistic and twee).

but now my dilemma is this: what room should i enter?

dang. it's times like these i wish i had a studio...

the opoponax -- bathroom, definitely, but does it have to be just one room? Couldn't you, well, enter 'em all? (This is my first experience of the fall colors contest, so I don't know what's "done" and what's "not done")

The winner last year (I think) was a bathroom. But then, last year there was also a bathroom contest, which I'm pretty sure came before the Colors contest, and for some reason I can't remember whether there was one this year or not.

this entry will always be the winner in my own eyes.. i have drawn several ideas from "John's 60's Retro Bedroom"
