Color Inspiration: When we bought our home, previous owners painted everything beige. This our first breakout! My husband likes it and considers it playful. We have alot of heirloom asian antiques. The blue and gold really got my heart beating!
Give Michele a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!

I can't vote, it says voting for this has expired, it was just posted!!!
Michele, great room; I love the cheetah print throw pillows and the curtain you used behind the bed!
Good luck!
voting is working - thanks!
I love the colors and I really love the asian antiques!
Very pretty. I love the screen. Yea, PDX!
Love this. Perfect!
The fretwork mirror! Love!
Love the references and how it is not too over the top Shanghai. Great color.
I love how lived in this room feels -- it's eclectic, but doesn't feel too all over the place. Clean and comfortable. The fabric panel behind the bed are a great idea too. I might try this in my new apartment!
This room is a bit strange to me. The individual pieces are Asian or Asian-inspired, but the overall look and feel isn't Asian. It's a really nice room, though, definitely "finished". I like the blue/gold accents with copious amounts of cream.
Beautiful!
Will you come and finish our bedroom??? Looks great - love the colors and how everything comes together.
This room certainly is a dream! I wish Michele would decorate our house!
Gorgeous ginger jar! Don't forget to invite me to every garage sale at your place.
I love that blue, and have a bedroom I want to redo, and that paint isn't carried anywhere near me, darn it!
This room is stunning! A masterpiece!
Wow! The colors really pop. Somebody's got talent!
Another beautiful room!!!
Michele... that is really lovely. Who knew all of those years ago that you would be a published decorator?! It looks beautiful! :) Congratulations! :) Loves it!
Love Danny :)
Gorgeous play of light & color! It's fresh but still very rich without being stuffy! Lovely!
The best bedroom yet! Peaceful and calming yet somehow exciting. Very nice.
Love it, except I feel like maybe the medallion duvet cover/pillow are too much? I would go for less pattern, more texture there. The fretwork mirror is particularly delicious... sigh.
Great job! Very warm and cozy. / Sarah
Inspiring!
great job!
Love the bedding!!! Source info on the blue and gold coverlet?
Hi Michele here- thanks PhillyLass! Actually thank you EVERYONE for voting and leaving comments! You're all the BEST! As for the navy silk medallion coverlet- you'll laugh but I found it for 20 bucks at an estate sale the day after I painted the room. It was the last piece of the puzzle! I was told that the previous owner had traveled extensively to Hong Kong and bought it there. I've never seen anything like it here stateside.
Love your room! It makes me want to redecorate mine.
I might paint the ceiling too. Maybe a slightly lighter shade than your walls? Nice photography, btw.
I LOVE it! Great mix of colors and fabrics.
Great job Michelle! The blue and gold is a fantastic color combination.
Love the simple yet sophisticated design!
Beautiful room! I love the blue and gold combination.
Beautiful!!
Beautiful job Michelle! You are very talented. :) Michael & Anna Costa
I can't believe you're losing to that anyone's kitchen... if only for considering the fact that this is a *colour* contest.
I'm with tulpoeid. You were robbed! The kitchen is nice but something you could find in any spec showroom of a newly "converted loft." Your bedroom is fabulous - an incredibly cohesive design that looks effortless. That is good design.
This is STUNNING! You've made a cool blue incredibly warm. I love the starburst mirror on top of the curtains. I wouldn't have thought to do that but it looks great. I also love the cheetah pillows juxtaposed with the Asian textiles. Well done!
AT -- I am trying to vote for this room in the finals but it is displaying results as if I've already voted even though I haven't. If you see this post I vote for Michele! Thanks :)
oriental... love it, the detail in the mirror frame is amazing.
