What inspired you to use color? I just love colour, I use it in my art, I use it in my surroundings. It affects my mood and influences the atmosphere throughout my living space. I crave certain colours and at present I am going through my 'green' phase. Colour is food for the soul...
Color Tip: Stare at a paint colour chart, better still stare at the see through paint pots they have in DIY stores, what colour attracts you? excites you? Grab a can and let that be your starting point.
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

I love the intent and the colors, but I have this HUGE urge to run through the place and remove about 70% of the little stuff. The livingroom especially is so heavily layered with possessions that the individual pieces lose their personality in the fray. Needs a good editor and a garage sale. Just my opinion.

Ha, taoflower... I had just the opposite reaction... I LOVED all the little touches... I have much the same tendency in my home, and all the pieces have meaning, which I am betting is the case here, too... :o)
