apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

two of the same picture? mistake?

This house reminds me of swiss cheese, but in a good way :-) Nice bold colors.

Just because you can base your decor-painting scheme "as seen through the eyes of a precocious, whimsical four-year-old," does not mean you should.

I love colors that pop and I commend their bravery; I myself have an aqua living room and a chocolate-brown bedroom. But this is the first time I've felt that perhaps the colors were a bit too vivid for my taste. They're very TANGERINE! and YELLOW! and PURPLE!
The furniture and accessories are also very statement"y", so maybe if that stuff had been a bit simpler....

Since I live in Denver, I couldn't do orange and blue myself as it generally makes me think of football, but somehow you have made it work. I like the boldness of the choices. I also like the way the artwork picks up the colors of the runner on the stairs.

very much appreciate these happy colours.

feels too much like a movie theatre lobby in the 90s.
sorry, just not my thing at all!

Watching The Sopranos last night, I wondered what was going on with the split-levels from my childhood back East. Now I know.

Geez! And Edina thought my house was ugly? Edina?
ATTACK! (but in a positive way.)

those cheese chairs are funky. sorry, a little too relentless for me.

I like everything except the purple. Happy colors!

Well, it's certainly very bright!!

Borderline camp. Loveshack? I'm not diggin this.

I love your curtain panels over your sliding glass door! It's a great idea that really livens up the old fashioned drapery. Where did you get it?? Did you add the panels or did you have them made? I would like to find the rods and make the panels myself so I can change then often. Please tell!

These are very bright and daring colors. I always commend folks on their guts for their use. I do think that they don't seem to "gel" entirely. I can see where the intent was, but there needs to be a bit more polish with the accessories and the final execution for it to all tie together. Lots of potential though!

circus.
some of it works, some of it doesn't.

You are definitely enjoying your home to the hilt. Not my color scheme, but very fun to look at. I would love visiting here.

Is this a set for an old sitcom on the WB?

I think my retinas are bleeding. You certainly win for BOLDEST and most COLORFUL... I dont think you're going to win, but somehow I think this works. I would have crazy clown nightmares if this was my house...but I think it works.

Whew. Too relentless. Needs some softening and balance.

Too much, too much. The purple, the metal chairs...
I do like the orange against the turquoise kitchen wall, and it's clear you've had a lot of fun decorating your home.
