Real Rooms, Real Color

This morning I stumbled upon Room for Color 2011 sponsored by Apartment Therapy and Farrow & Ball and was knocked speechless by a couple of the rooms entered. I want to jump into these images and take up residence. Take a look and tell me you're not floored as well...

First up is Sara's "Smoke, Citron and Cream" Room. I mean, those dark smoky walls & bookshelves paired with the elegant, upholstered pieces and spectacular chandelier are absolute perfection!

Next we have Charmaine's "Modern Glam" Room and let me tell you, "glamourous" doesn't event begin to sum up the amazingness. Is there anything better than a turquoise and gray color theme? Is there?

 And finally, Mallory's "Neutral Love" Room with it's chic combination of steely gray walls and warm chocolate velvet sofa. The neutral linen and metallic accents finish this cozy space. 

What adds to my utter amazement is that these are real, lived in spaces that have achieved the same jaw-dropping effect that professional designers showcase in shelter magazine across the globe.
