I love the space that Jen and Nate have created. There's nothing better than a home that truly reflects your sense of style and feels comfortable. My favourite elements are the extensive salon wall and the choice of dark navy blue for the master bedroom. Oh, and I love the painted door edges, what a great idea!

@noixtoc, @RMF325, @LoveThisSite: Thanks for noticing and commenting on the little table. It's vintage and has sentimental appeal - my Dad made it in high school shop class during the 1950's.

Thanks for all of the comments, both for and against the colour change. To be honest I like both colour combos, but it was more about me needing a colour change. Also of note is that the Blue photos were taken on a sunny day and the Pink on a rainy day. That totally affects the mood captured in the photos.

Patrick,

If you prefer to gauge success the democratic way, Eddie not only has the most comments but the most votes as well (currently). Looks like this challenge could be a nail biter.

It seems to me that if the sheer volume of comments are any indication, Eddie Ross has nailed this window!! As I type this, there are 70 comments regarding Eddie's work and far less for the other two designers.
Since an effective window display should generate a buzz or get a reaction, Eddie is succeeding with flying colours.

There's a lot going on in this window, but we all know that is Eddie's style, and it works for him. I love the pops of fuchsia pink and burnt orange, they really spice it up!! The best part of this window is that it looks comfortable, as though someone really lives in this space.
Any negatives? I'm not too sure how practical this space would be for a mother of two. If the kids are young, there are going to be a lot of broken antiques on the floor. And that etagere would make a great jungle gym!!
Great window, Eddie, Jaithan & team. It looks as though you had fun designing and creating it!!

Very modern & clean, I like this window a lot, and I could see myself living in this space. There isn't too much going on, and the colour scheme is comforting, which is ideal for a room meant to relax in. This space does the best job of featuring the merchandise, which is the number one priority for a retailer's window display. Well done, Eileen!
BTW, that Hudson Park 3 drawer chest is quite a popular item!!

The wallpaper is a-mazing, what a great backdrop for the rest of the space. And that massive light fixture is stunning. However, I feel that the window/room is very bottom heavy, and the vertical space has been left empty.
IMHO, the window just needs something to emphasize the height of the space.

Hi Justiney,
The bathroom sink came with the condo - it's one of the reasons I bought this unit. It's a solid Corian countertop and sink.

Hi her_royal_gr8ness,
The blue colour on the living room wall is Benjamin Moore Wedgewood Grey. The bathroom colour is Sherwin Williams Tidewater. The other living room wall (not pictured) and the kitchen are Sherwin Williams Kilim Beige.
The vintage walnut table beside the couch was made by my father as a high school shop class project. I am always browsing at Value Village for great deals on vintage items!!

Hi Mz. F!
The coffee table is from Kinetic Home - the base was bright red when I bought it at a sample sale. I just sanded it down and painted it the same colour as the wall.
