What inspired you to use color? I love all the architectural detail in my apartment and color helps to highlight that...I've also always been inspired by the bolder use of color in the 50's and 60's...
Color Tip: Don't be afraid of color - it makes such a difference in making a space your own and making it feel warm and welcoming.
Colors Used: Bedroom - Pratt & Lambert 33-27 Living Room - Martha Stewart "Artemisia" G08 Dining Room: Ace "La Terra" 46-B
Fall Colors Introduction -------------------------------
Welcome, everyone, to our Fourth Annual Fall Colors Sharing & Contest. We're looking for the most beautiful & colorful home in the world and sharing all of the great ideas we get with our readers. This year we're amping things up and hoping to do things better than ever. There are two basic phases, the Sharing Phase and the Voting Phase...
1. Sharing Phase - you comment, judges decide
The 40 best, completed entries will be posted on a daily basis for three weeks. You can view them all at anytime via our new, improved contest pages under ALL ENTRIES. During this time your comments are VERY IMPORTANT as our six judges will be choosing 16 finalists from each region based on comments and their own colorful opinion.
2. Voting Phase - you vote till you drop
Starting October 20th, finalist voting will begin on a daily basis through our new bracketed voting system, which will pit our 16 finalists against one another until only one remains. Sound exciting? We hope so.
Best, Maxwell

Way too cluttered for my taste, but it does look comfortable. I love the balcony! What's that on the dining room table -- a file box and votives? Huh?

Nice and cozy, like the mix of colors, But seems like there's a little too much furniture in the living room.

Love it. Especially that desk chair. I'm currently plotting how to DIY a lookalike for my place.

Thanks everyone (and yes, the living room could use some de-cluttering!) The dining room chairs I got at a flea market a few years ago and recovered the seats. They actually fold up, which I love. The decorated chair is an inlaid metal "Ram's Head" chair from India. - Katherine
