Congratulations to our semifinalists! After three weeks of sharing wonderful kids rooms in small homes, we've found the readers' top three picks in each of our age divisions and now, you'll choose from this group of nine to find the smallest, coolest kids' rooms of 2009. From a custom mini-nursery structure in San Francisco to a room shared by two brothers in Saint Louis to a baby room carved out of part of a master bedroom in New York City, we've got it all...
...including your top choices in the international division, from Paris, Ottowa and Mumbai!
Take a look back at our 9 semi-finalists listed below (and shown above)...
and then please give your vote to your favorite overall smaller, cooler kids room:
Voting is for ONE day only - in 24 hours (approx 1:30pm EST on 5/29), we will stop the vote and the top three ranked entries (regardless of original age division) will be our three winners of the prizes from Green Depot.
We have a separate final vote for the top 3 International entries. The highest ranked entry based on your vote today in this division will receive a Certificate of Recognition from Ohdeedoh:
Congrats to all the semifinalists and thanks to all who entered their inspiring, wonderful kids rooms!

The most serene and soothing of spaces. This will be a very calm contented baby.
I can't vote (i'm logged in)
It's not letting me submit my choice.
Apologies to those having trouble voting -
Sometimes, due to the way web browsers work, the “answer survey” button gets stuck in the “off” state. After logging in on the comment form, you may need to tell your browser to full refresh the page. Usually, holding down the shift key and clicking refresh or reload will fix this. Sorry for the confusion—we hope to fix this (rare) glitch in the future.
I love Paigey's room!! Where Butterscotch the horse??

Repeated from above for those who are having trouble voting:

I just think Jake and Pete have the coolest room with really smart space solutions. It got my vote! (Tough choice, though!)
For people who are having trouble voting -- can you describe in more detail what you are experiencing? Are you receiving an error message when you try to vote? Is the "answer survey" button enabled or is it "grayed out"? It's possible there is a bug in the system, but without more detail I cannot reproduce the problem.
I'll check in here occasionally but I'll be more likely to notice an email to scott@apartmenttherapy.com if you can send me more detail.
The only known problem with the system is, immediately after logging in on a post the "answer survey" button remains disabled. It usually becomes enabled if you reload the page. Sometimes, a browser might "cache" the disabled version of the button, in which case holding down your "shift" key and pressing the "reload" or "refresh" button on your browser will typically clear the cached disabled button. This is on our development roadmap to fix in the future, but this workaround solves this problem in the rare case it occurs.
i've followed the directions to refresh etc., but i still can't vote. if i could i would have voted for jake and pete's room.
I like Neha's room
It looks like a ton of people registered on May 29th JUST to vote for Neha's room. Hmmmm....I wonder if it's the same person?
Anyway, I had no problems voting although I wish it were set up more like Apartment Therapy's small cool contest. Where we could view the rooms while voting.
Neha's room is best
looks like someone doesnt like the votes to Neha..Thats what friends are for..
I have refreshed the page, cleared cache, logged out and back in, still the "answer survey" button is greyed out.
This most amazing little princess nersery! Very lucky little Isobel who would learn how beautiful her world is early on!!!
Thank you to all those who voted for Neha's dream room! You guys are really awesome. Neha says thank you.
Neha's room is an dream for any girl!! Way to go:)
