Hi everyone,
This is a silly request but I thought I'd put it out there. I've been a design addict for a while now, and enjoyed the forum here.

I have recently entered my bedroom space into a color-usage competition on Apartment Therapy's webpage. For better or worse I'd love to have people swing by the page, take a look, and let me know what you think. And if you like it - vote for it.

I know its probably not going to be to everyone's taste - but why not! Thanks all!

Anyone else want to enter?
This is a fun contest, I'd love to see other entries from other Design Addicts here.

I live in a house, not an apartment, is this OK
Hi Lucifer Sum, I like your color usage and that one person was way off in their nasty criticism. I love APT Therapy and am a big fan of Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan. I'd love to enter a couple of shots of my home, but it's a house not an apt. I couldn't see anything that says I can't enter, do you know if I can or not?

You can enter any space - they are looking for dramatic use of color. If you click the link under the first photo it will take you to the main page with the contest rules.
I cant wait to see your space. Will you be using your concrete bathtub?

Nah, the tub's not that colorful. I'll go with another room. But if you want to see my abode there are a few shots here...boy I need to add some new stuff!

where's grampa?
nice colors, but those rooms really need something old and soulful like a grampa, a beat up, patina rich chair or something. i always include a grampa in a room no matter what my girlfriend says, i think it adds warm butter to a room.

Strange
Mario...you are a strange strange person.
coincidentally, I ordered a grandpa, but it didnt arrive in time to make the photos. I put it in the guestroom for safe keeping.

No I think Mario has a good point
Rooms are bwest when they grow and layer orver time. I love that look and I admit to having a bit of trouble making it happen. My instinct is to buy new furniture when I need something. But I have grandpas and grammas in my home and I think they add a lot to the 'home' aspect of a house.

a mental stamina ambiance
is what i would say to qualify the colors of your room.
i would personnaly rather go for some himalayan bois flotté atmosphere with some left over furnitures. Nice job you did there.

forgive me - i was confused. For some reason I didnt connect the term "grandpa" to an actual item... I thought you meant a real grandpa...which is why I responded as such.
As a matter of point there are 3 grandpas in my room. None appear in the pictures, but they do enhance the warmth of the room. I have a lovely old oak desk that I make art on, a blue cracked (and repaired) Eames fiberglas rocker, and an Eames DCW that was rescued from the trash. And my house itself is definitely "patina rich". 🙂
