Those of you who frequent this blog and have a keen eye will notice (from my 'Worth Reading' lists) that I am a big fan of
Apartment Therapy. For the uninitiated, it's a NYC-based blog for interior design with an obvious focus on apartments, condos and lofts. They recently held their "
Fall colors contest" in which people submitted pics of their apartments to claim the prize of best use of colour (but mostly for bragging rights). The first place winner's pic is above. I wasn't all that impressed with the winners they picked. All nice looking places for sure, but it seems the requirement for winning this thing was the abundant use of Lime Green-all four winners used various shades of lime green as their primary colour. [Those of you who have seen my apartment are probably screaming
hypocrite! at your computer screens, but my point is simply that some variety would be nice-it was a color contest, not a 'best use of lime green' contest.] None of the winners' apartments really stuck out to me but I kinda liked
this one, and
this one. Anyway, if you haven't discovered the goodness that is AT, check it! Now if only they started an ATToronto...

Did it not feel like the Fall Colors contest lasted about 8 months? A lot of the entries seemed to be going for "most use of color" instead of "best use of color", no?
We picked up the AT book at Chapters a few months ago, and have foind it helpful (it's essentially is a consolidation of Maxwell's mantra).
In other apartment-related news, Carolyn and I have had continued luck benefitting from Urban Barn's 75% off clearances. Andy, you'll be glad to hear it's completely devoid of green!
