Swoon! This is everything I think a winning Fall Colors entry should be.

This house looks so happy. Great use of color.

I think the colors themselves are fun and spunky and courageous, although the over-all style is a little too rigid and impersonal for my taste (but that's just me, I like lots of personal touches and less order).

However, since this is a contest about colors, I have to say "well done!"

Matt. M, I believe those nighstands are IKEA's Eina.

I remember seeing this a while ago and saving several inspo pictures, including the lovely art in the bathroom and the creative headboard/shelving paint technique. Very nice!

AMAZING color...but I really want to know about the desk! I can tell it is IKEA, I just can't quite figure out what components and the size of the desk top used...it's just what I need!

Thank you very much for the commentaries. I am Mariola Abascal, the owner of the apartment. I write to answer some of the doubts.

Matt M., as has said I'm all shook up, the nightstand is this.

Kgenesius, the legs are the model Vika Annefors (http: // www.ikea.com/es/es/catalog/products/60104325) and the board the Vika Gruvan (http: // www.ikea.com/es/es/catalog/products/70103033). Forgive me for putting the link to the Spanish page.

I love that kitchen! I'm so jealous of people without fully tiled kitchen walls...
Enhorabuena, Mariola! Saludos desde Castellón!

The best balance of colors.
Mariola uses the colors with joy, without bore our eyes.
She's my finnalist.

Sweet, happy, but also clean and subtle. Rarely has Ikea looked this good.

It is pretty,but it is missing life. I may be wrong, but I get the feeling no one lives here!
