Holy Fabulous! I wish I could've seen some more angles of the room though. Awesome color choices.

this is one of the few i've seen that really focuses on color without it looking cheap - well done

"We love color" - we can tell. :) I like it! It's an interesting space with various different patterns, colors and textures. Not sure I would be able to sleep in that room but wonderful to look at!

I could never have this much going on in my own bedroom, but it looks great. I bet you had a lot of fun creating this room.

Wow, that's a lot going on. I love it and would want to be friends with the person who creates this.

It's very nice. I am just saying, kinda looks like a trend bomb exploded up in there. Not to take away from the fact it is nice though. The drawing / crayon picture on the wall is charming and adorable.

Love it, looks like someone grew up in the 70's and got stuck in a Better Homes and Gardens, "how to decorate your home" book and went for it:)

I love everything about this room! Where are the bed and nightstands from?

Hi! To answer your questions: red lamps came from City Life Home Furnishings in Brea, CA., (and so did the Jonathan Adler Horse), and the sun. The wallpaper came from all modern or 2modern (both have it), the bed was an Ikea farm bed, we cut the bars off, and painting it in high gloss/enamel, and the stands came from my parents, they used to be dark brown, so we wanted to see what it was look like white. The reason why you can't see more of the room is because right behind me is a big closet with light gray walls. Maybe I should've added the wind wire chair that's to the left but oh well. :) Thanks for the encouragement and have fun decorating your home!

@taylormaris1: thanks, really appreciate that... the greenish color is more like an ochre color, (which has green in it), but I think we got that at Pratt and Lambert at Lowe's... :) happy painting!

Love everything about your room; EXCEPT the wall paper. For my tastes it is just too busy. However obviously you worked very hard on it; all of the colors are awesome (I lve bright colors). I was happy to vote for your room!!

Love, love, love the Ferm Living wallpaper, I am planning on using that in one of the rooms in my house in the very near future.

Your room looks awesome!

Love this room. It has such a great visual tension of both color and pattern. It is very engaging.

I like this a lot...much better than any of the finalists. It also goes to show it is much harder to go wrong with tons of color than people think. IMO, the main mistake people make with color is using ONE ugly color all over the place.
