I love the bold and bright colors!!
The coral kitchen is beautiful! I painted my bedroom that color at a house I lived in during college and I loved it. I might have to bring that color back again...
mmm that coral kitchen is still delightful to see! overall, though, i really felt that mandi's apt. exemplified the criteria of the color contest best. colorful to the max throughout!
Great colors, all of them. That lime green is what color I think heaven is! Love. it.
