Nice turquoise walls and fun idea to paint the folding chairs.

yikes! I like the how daring the color choices are, but it's a bit much for my taste. I don't think I could ever feel relaxed in this home because there's so much going on... it feels chaotic.

I love this room! I love the colors and the thriftiness but most importantly the purple/pink room divider things. I want those at my house. Ladesign - that is just rude.

I like your chutzpah. It's not my taste, but it does work, in a way.

Funky and fun! Love the use of bright happy colors. Not my taste to live in but can totally appreciate it. Very nicely done.

I think the reason it is not coming together as a concept has to do with scale. There are many small pieces that look haphazard in their placement. I think this color scheme and fun atmosphere would be better served with several larger pieces to bring everything together in a nice contrasting tone. (Black? Dark brown??) I clicked through because of the fantastic Moroccan dividers leading into the kitchen. L-O-V-E I think this room demonstrates a lot of creativity and spontaneity; it could just use a little curation.

The colors are great and work really well together. Very feminine, which is me. I would never use these colors together like this ONLY because I have an autistic son who likes colors that are not so bright and also because growing up in a home so feminine may annoy him. Also, I think the wall with the stuff on it isn't arranged well. Looks kind of cluttery even though it's basically in one place. Maybe you could try some wall shelves placed around that wall so that it's not just shoved mostly in that one corner shelf.

Nice use of "oops" paint. :) And I like the pegboard/door/magazine idea.
