Location: Brooklyn, NY
Type of Home: coop
What inspired you to use color? We live across the street from a beautiful park, so we wanted to bring in the blues, greens and browns as a base, and add areas of more concentrated color throughout...
Color Tip: Weave color through all of your surface — walls, furniture, fabrics, artwork, books — rather than primarily relying on wall paint for color.
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

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for the comments!
To answer the questions:
The couch is from Crate and Barrel, but it was discontinued right after we bought it a couple years ago.
The orange lamp is from Jonathan Adler.
The "target" pillow is actually a crocheted piece that I bought at thrift store and then made into a pillow.
Thanks again!

Nice blend of old and new. I like the green dining chairs with the older table.

Very my taste. Fresh and bright, and the green chairs are killer.

wonderful combination of vintage with new. Very well thought out. It's obvious that each item is loved on it's own as well as within the whole.
