International #7: Vanja's Croatian 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

Zravo!
This is great, I don't think Americans understand what it is like over there, or in Europe. This is very cool!

Nice place and great colors! The red in the kitchen is dynamite and looks fabulous with the black and white floor.

love the kitchen!
*btw, it's best to keep your spices in a dark cool area. hey that would free up some shelf space!

This is so very beautiful and refreshing! I could be sad and enter that flat and become happy in a matter of seconds, the "warmth, joy, happiness, love, enjoyment.." truly show! Well done - oh and that kitchen is just perfect (A friend told me years ago red kitchens were no good, this proves her so very wrong!)

These colors REALLY suit Croatian light (and lifestyle). Great job!
(Also, why is it that the Croatians enjoy such particularly high standards of tiling?????!!!)

I already commented on our native language but I have to write few words on english so everyone can understand -
I think that Vanja did a great job, I love her colours, Kitchen is so cute, diningroom is so warm and I would love to have a cup of coffee on Vanjas balcony :))))

thank you all for your comments! just to say (for EAM) there are no ceramic tiles on the kitchen floor (vinyl?..however you call that flooring type) and the tiles on the kitchen wall are from original building in 1973.. the whole flat (except bathroom) was decorated on a budget.. we are soon moving out of our beautiful flat .. needing a bit more extra space.. hope that next tenant will enjoy living in this flat as we do..
