Is there a space in your home that makes you smile? A room or nook where you feel most yourself?
Don't keep it to yourself. Share it, by entering "My Favorite Room," a new contest feature in the Star Tribune's Sunday Homes section.
Your favorite room doesn't have to be a showcase of fine design. It can be fun or functional or downright quirky. We're looking for rooms with a personality — yours!
Here are just a few ideas to get you thinking. Your favorite room could be:
• A room set up to accommodate your favorite hobby or collectible.
• A room you created for or with a child — or to bring out your own inner child.
• A shrine to your favorite travel destination — or favorite sports team.
• A room where you came up with something clever, such as a smart way of organizing your stuff.
• A unique theme room.
• A room designed around your pet.
• The room where you relax and recharge, such as your personalized "man cave" or woman's retreat.
It's easy to share your favorite room: Just send a photo (snapshots are fine), along with a brief description of what makes your room special, to: myfavoriteroom@startribune.com.
We'll feature the winning rooms in upcoming Sunday Homes sections and online at www.startribune.com. Who knows? You might inspire someone to create their own favorite room. □
