apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i'm so glad to see this contest kick off! nice place. pics are a bit dark so it's hard to make out the hues and contrasts but i like what you've got. this is encouraging. i think i'll enter!

Nice mood, but I'm guessing the colors in the photos aren't accurate depictions. In the next-to-last photo, everything, including the laptop, is yellow, and that must be the photography. So, I don't think I can be wowed by the use of color.

Ugg.. seriously people at AT, could you spend less time dreaming up more awkward interfaces? The WHOLE page needs to reload to see EACH photo? Cause thats not wholly obnoxious.

And oh yeah, nice colors, a little soft without much punch. Beautiful, but not necessarily bold.

Modfan i was thinking the same thing (about the interface).
as for the house, its charming, but i guess i'm not into the muted color palette. This makes me want to enter as well (i live in philly too!).

Yay! I love this contest! I like that your walls are neutral but still have a hint of color to them.
I feel like there are a lot "holes" in the place though. There's lots more room for color. :)

Oh... and, um AT... we can has javascript? Modfan is right, page reloads are not fun. But the new photo interface! Just utilize some javascript-y goodness. :)

I love the art in this place!

I like the curtain panels a lot...and the soft baby blue that would NEVER work in my place but is beautiful in yours...but I wouldn't say this is a bold use of color....see if you can get better lighting in your images..the lack of light could be washing out your colors so they don't look as good as they might in real life!

Yay! Nice to see someone from my neighborhood enter! Love the soft blue on the walls and I love all your curtains. Nicely done.

this is encouraging, thanks! nice to see a place that's a bit more real.

see???? philly needs an AT!!!!

Don't we get to vote?

I love that little cabinet with the tin celing tile type feature in the front.

I like this...but would love to see more of the apt. Where did you get your curtains?? So cute!

Some of the photos are a little dark and depressing. The last photo shows us how light it is outside and how dark it is inside. PULL BACK the curtains. Let the sun in.

sorry for the potentially ignorant question, but might you share the paint brand as well?

I really enjoy the sublte color choice. And yeah...Philly needs and AT!

well me no likey. not my thang so to speak. but of course, i'm quite confused about what IS my thang. perhaps i shall find some inspiration here or there.

It is welcoming, imagnitive, and has a lot of character. Well done. You have strengthened the use of "green" and know when to leave a find "as is". Just great.

It's coming together cutely, but I don't get a lot of "color contest winner" out of this. It's very neutral for the most part and mellow, not a lot to distinguish it in this aspect.

Those green curtains are gorgeous.

I'm guessing the whole page reload issue to see each photo is intentional, you know, to increase the page view count.

The owls are cute.

i love the curtains in your living room, and the wall color is fabulous. nice home.

Very nice accents, I love the curtains!

I absolutely love Rachel Rachel in Solano Beach!!! What an eye for the classic look that just pops.... I love it!!! A definate winner!!

That gibson has a jungle scene on it. Dope!

Beautiful and doesn't have to be bold. Just in good taste which is a wonderful thing. I feel the mood and it is peaceful and elegant. Thanks.

yay
