Check out the contest I'm co-judging

A few months back I was invited to judge a contest for Ergorapido and Electrolux fans' homes. One of the coolest parts of this contest is that there is a winner every week, entries are from all over the world, feature every decorating style, and every room.

The contest is part of the promotion for the design award winning "Ergorapido" vacuum. Let me tell you - it's pretty swanky looking, and the company has a great rep. I picked the magenta one. It's gorgeous but I can't test it out until I get an adapter because it's a European plug!

The vacuum.

Here are some of my favorite entries so far.

A light-filled, inspirational apartment - and it's real! No designer, no professional photographer!

I was checking out the new Style Room (still in Beta), and discovered this lovely, lovely flat in Oxford. It's rented, and decorated on the cheap (amen for Ikea), but that doesn't take away from it's undeniable charm!

My fav. look - a predominately white foundation with bright accents...

Love the lucite side table..

What a lovely sunny spot to work



Plants are the best aren't they? Too bad I live ground level and get no light!

This place is pretty small looking I'm guessing, based on the multi-purpose dining room/home office - but it's pulled off really well!



look guys...real homes have power chords...who'd a thunk?

I love this room! It has the white that I love, with energizing splashes of color.
