i would loooove to spend an afternoon in the rachel room!
those curtains, that mirror, the textured wallpaper (or is that paint?!) - everything...perfection.
I'd love to hang out in the lounge. The navy walls and the colorful furniture, along with the touches of gold, remind me of a take on Hollywood Regency style. I love it!
Absolutely hands down the The Rachel room! Vibrant, cozy, and beautiful. Thanks for this giveaway! xx marissa cool
I could while away a whole day in the bedroom pictured on page 80-81. The wallpaper by LeeJofa, the lamp, the perfect balance of white and pops of color... it transfixes.
That bedding would go perfectly with my new headboard a la west elm! fabulous giveaway!
I love the Rachel. That color! I seriously want to copy those curtains.
Definitely the Rachel!

The room with the zebra print rug. I'd spend the afternoon reading by the fire.
I'd never LEAVE the Rachel room if I had a chance!! I adore it - the headboard, the curtains, and especially the textured walls. "The Rachel" also makes me think of the coined term for Rachel Greene's haircut from "Friends"! Haha. This giveaway is to die for, I can't even believe it! Thank you!

You girls rock! Always enjoy the fabulous issues you pump out.
In love with the Rachel room, I can see how it is a favorite for many.

I would definitely want to spend an afternoon in that gorgeous and cozy living area! Curled up on a couch reading a book and lots of magazines!!

I'd love to spend the afternoon in the lounge. I love the dark walls there.
j dot marilyn dot evans at gmail dot com

Definitely the dark lounge. So dramatic!

- minna -
so.minna@gmail.com
Loving the new issue of Rue! I'm also in love with the Elva Fields Glamorously Gray & Golden necklace--yes, please!
Why stay in any bedroom all day when you can hang in that awesome lounge? Love the navy paint.
The Rachel
Definitely the Rachel room - I love the colors
I'd love to spend a weekend in the Rachel room - I just got engaged before Thanksgiving and I think this inn would make a sweet honeymoon spot.
I would stay in the Rachel! Hot pink curtains? yes plz
Parsons room takes the cake... !
I would love to spend the afternoon in room #4. So incredibly girly and chic, yet playful with the zebra headboard and mirrored tabletops. I'd love to curl up on the bed with a cup of tea and my kindle!
Hands DOWN -- the Captain Fairfield, where I would park all day in the lounge room, sipping something delicious by the fireplace and reading a wicked book.
The Rachel room is so colorful! It definitely looks like a good place to get away from it all:)
What an AMAZING giveaway! And this particular issue was gorgeous. RUE keeps on getting better and better! Of all the rooms, I would love to stay in "The Rachel"! I've recently fallen in love with grasscloth covered walls and it was a delight to see them used this way!
The lounge! I love those dark walls.
Awesome Giveaway Ladies!!!
I would have to go the the Rachel room.

Honestly, I would love the band.do big bow headband on p.17. My mom and I share a birthday (30 Jan) and she's turning the big 5-0 in 2012. I've been saving for over a year and I managed to snag tickets to the Kentucky Derby, an event she's been dreaming about attending since she was little. Everyone will be decked out in their Sunday best but, wish as I may, I'm just NOT a hat person. That headband would allow me feel youthful and participatory in the fashion headgear Olympics that is Churchill Downs while also letting me stand out from the hatted crowd. Plus, the derby is on Cinco de Mayo next year and what says "¡Fiesta!" better than a giant bow?
I'd love to spend time in the beautiful living room of the Captain Fairfield Inn. The deep navy blue walls and tarnished glass tables are my favorite pieces.
Smack in front of the fireplace featured on page 82-83. That room is warm, inviting, and unbelievably chic all at the same time. Give me a book, some wine, and I'll find you in 5 hours.
Love the new issue! Photography is gorgeous! I would love to recieve the Elva Fields necklace featured on page 21. Classy AND Sassy? Yes please!
AAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I love all of these!!!!! I especially love the bedding, I've been in need of new bedding, so I think that would be my most favored gift. <3
xo Alex Yates
First of all, I'm obsessed with this B+B. When I first saw it I started plotting how to plan a trip up there to stay. Why can't all B+B's look like that? I would love to stay over in the Rachel though, love the combo of textures!
I would be happy staying in the lounge for the entire stay! It's GORGEOUS. Though, if a bed is a must then the Rachel is my pick. Those curtains! That headboard!
Happy Holidays ladies!
That navy blue sitting room with a good book by the fire :)
The Namesake Rachel for sure! WOWZA!
The Lille Agate Stacking Boxes, Cassandra chose on the Editor's Wish List are amazing!! I love the marble, they would be the perfect addition for my self/desk.
(ciararbird@aol.com)
definitely the rachel room for me! i love that starburst mirror!
The Rachel is IT for me!!! I love the drapes; they make me very happy!!!
I think I could sit in one of those plush red chairs in the corner of the lounge, with a cup of cocoa and a book all day. Especially with all the natural light streaming in - perfect!
I'd have to go with the room on pages 80 & 81. It's bright, feminine and fun. I can't picture my hubby liking it too much, but it looks perfect for a weekend getaway with the girls*
I would love the Shoemint Wedge Booties or the Zara Dot Ballet Flats!
Also, where does Bri get her metal letters and sign in her flat? I’ve
been looking everywhere for a large “W”?
Thanks for a great Magazine!
I so would stay in the Rachel room. I love those curtains :) I have this inn name on my desk at work to make sure I book a stay here in 2012. So lovely. Thanks.
holy moly what a great giveaway! love the rachel almost as much as i love all the great goodies you are giving away!
I would love to stay in the Rachel room.
I want to greet people in the entry and then have drinks with them in the living room! Love...
loooove the "white" wine carafe. and the vespa. and everything, really :)
I'm a pink girl so Rachel is my vote.
maureen@berhold.com
probably the dining room, to look at that amazing walpaper!
I would love to curl up in one of those red wing back chairs by the fire in the beautiful living room, read a book, and bask in the presence of the zebra and oriental rug! The perfect afternoon! Love yall
I would LOVE to host a dinner party in that gorgeous dining room. I'm obsessed with the wallpaper. I would also like to sit in that room with my mac all afternoon (today) drinking mexican hot chocolate and planning my wedding. thanks for this. :) xo laurenmax@gmail.com
The gorgeous living room on page 82!
Parsons Room - love that zebra!!
Definitely the Rachel--I am a sucker for grass cloth. The blue lounge is my favorite room though!
I would love a night in the Rachel room. Amazing color!
The Rachel. I love the mirror and the curtains.
The bedroom with the grasscloth walls! It's gorgeous!

With the cold weather just around the corner here in NYC, I'd do anything to cozy up next to that fire in the inn's lounge. The zebra rug is to die for. Love Rue magazine and this giveaway! Happy holidays and best wishes in the new year!
if you need me, i'll be in the navy lounge trying out every seat.
the breakwater rooms is fabulous. i felt relaxed just looking at that peaceful color scheme. (exhale) so lovely.
The entryway! I love the glass-framed front door and all that light! Where else is better to people-watch than sitting on those beautiful steps?
I would most definitely spend an afternoon (or move in if I could) in that gorgeous lounge/living room with the navy walls. Love how soothing and sophisticated that room feels.
The Parsons room is lovely! Thanks for offering such an amazing giveaway.
The shoes from mintshoes please! Rue rocks!
I would love to stay in the Parsons room. Gotta love that zebra striped headboard.
oops, wrong blog. I would LOVE to stay in the rachel room. so fantastic!
The Parson! zebra + silver, sounds like a fun place to be... I already feel like Jane :)

Loving The Rachel!
I adore that living room. Snuggled in a fuchsia chair by the fire with a book and a pot of tea would be divine!
I would, without a doubt, spend almost all my waking hours in that dining room. I LOVE THE WALLPAPER. Gray is my favorite color to decorate with and that pattern is the same one we used on our wedding invites! I also love conversations over food, tea, coffee, desserts, snacks...ahh, time to glue my butt to one of those fabulous mid-century wood chairs!
Not want but NEED that bar cart!! Young and living in SF, a home bar is a must ;)
Not want but NEED that bar cart!! Young and living in SF, a home bar is a must ;)
We are peas in a pod. I have been dreaming of owning a Vespa for ages!
There is SO much interior envy in this beautiful bed & breakfast!! As an interior designer, I could pretty much write a novel about how much I adore each space of the b&b. But I would have to say the room I would want to spend the afternoon would be the beautiful lounge. That dark blue on the walls is so warm and makes me want to cozy up on the sofa with a hot cup of tea and enjoy the fireplace. Everything from the little details, color scheme, to the rug layering and amazing coffee table trio... ROCKS. I am quite obsessed with this room and it completely inspires me to do something bold with color in rooms I design... and use those jewel tones! Woo hoo! Thanks for this AMAZING giveaway opportunity!!!! I might cry if I win. Seriously though.
i would def choose the lovely huge living room with the fireplace and zebra rug. id love to sit there and sip on hot tea on a cold afternoon!
I love the parlor at the B&B. Looks like a good place to curl up and read a book.
Oh, definitely the Rachel!
Gaahhh this giveaway is the bomb! The hubby & I would spend our time in the B&B's bedroom. No doubt. Thanks for being a super awesome santa!
I'm absolutely LOVING the room with the hot pink drapes. So lovely. I would love to escape to Maine, I'm sure it's beautiful this time of year :)
Considering the dreary day we're having here in Nashville, I'd say either of the bedrooms would be fine for me to nap in this afternoon.
I would LOVE to stay in the beautiful, spacious room called The Library. The room is amazing and it has a private balcony that overlooks the historic River Green. It also has a private bath + whirlpool! My husband and I could go up there on our anniversary and have many stories to tell our grand kids! I guess we need to have kids first.. ;)
The Rachel Room is to DIE for!!
i would to stay in " The Rachel" room. It is so simple but so unique and bold at the same time. Truly a fun room and a fun place to stay.
Hands down, the lounge! The fireplace is awesome. I could spend all day just curled up on one of those couches.
Amazing giveaway to say the least!Would love to be inside the pages 86-87!!(piiapo@hotmail.com)
The minute I sat down to read this issue, I instantly fell in lalalalLOVE with their navy lounge room...seriously such sumptuous jewel tones to envelop any guest...love the color story and navy walls??? C'mon!!! So DANG sexy! Fabulous issue ladies!

The Rachel Room! :)
hmm... think this is a little challenging for some of the commenters! :) I would pick the room with that great cozy sitting room on page 82. I could curl up with RuE for hours!
Love the Rue holiday issue! I would stay in the amazing Navy lounge room! Tres magnifique!
xo,
L
The Rachel. I can just imagine that soft pink rosy glow the curtains cast with the outside light. that sort of ambiance makes u feel loved and peaceful. imagine taking a cat nap in here, waking up next to your loved ones, reading books...or giggling over really inane jokes...like..."why did the little boy suddenly shut the refrigerator door?"...because he saw the salad dressing...
Thanks for the chance to win such amazing gifts ! I like all of the rooms at the Inn, but if I were to choose just one then it would be the blue living area. I really like how Rue shows where all of the different pieces in the room are from, thanks for that ! Happy Holidays : )
My favorite room is the hallway, I love the rug and bright colored walls with the wall covering!
The lovely navy LOUNGE...who could resist an afternoon sitting there!
I would love to spend an afternoon in the "Rachel!" Its the perfect blend of glamorous and cozy!
zebra headboard! plush parsons!
I would love to hang out in the cozy lounge with a roaring fire and a cup of tea!
Parsons room, no question! Love love love all the giveaway items! Pick me, pick me!
The Rachel! I don't spend nearly enough time in my own bedroom because it doesn't look like this!!!! Great issue as always!
Action Bunny all the way. The little mole from Corduroy is also adorable! I wish I had seen him earlier; they'd be in everyones' stockings.
Definitely the Rachel... who wouldn't want to sleep next to hot pink curtains?! So girlie glam...
The Rachel!
By the fire in the living area! Please! :)
I would of lazy afternoon reading in that moody lounge. Followed by a promt cocktail hour at 5 of course. Beautiful!
I am absolutely in love with the zebra headboard in the parsons room, that alone makes me want to spend a night in the room!
I would hang out in the large family room with dark walls and white trim. I would set so pretty in one of those purple or red chairs and make toasts with my friends. Merry Christmas Rue Magazine! Keep the amazing material coming!
Best, Cami
ps. just tweeted thi
I love the den on p. 82. So cozy!
The Rachel room is my favorite by far! The color combinations and that gorgeous sunburst mirror make for a happy, joyful room!
the Parsons! i think i would have to write every single thing down that i fell in love with in this room and recreate when i got home! so gorgeous.
Hey Crystal! I'd love to spend the afternoon in the lobby/entry way (page 79), sitting on the stairs chattin' away with good company! The bright colors and designs are fabulous. Not going to lie - The bed in the Parsons room does look perfect, but who wants to miss any fun during the day?! Happy holidays! Michelle
My favorite room in the inn is the lounge, I love the navy walls and mix or oriental and zebra rugs. Being from Maine, the view from the windows makes me a little homesick!
I love The Rachel!
Parson's room
I'd have to stay in The Rachel. That pillow, alone, is reason enough! :)
Parsons Room baby!
I would definitely stay in the Rachel room! I love that place.
the Rachel for me!! Just beautiful.
I have to agree with the Rachel, the Rachel is my fave! Pink and green with metallic accents. Love!
The Rachel is great! I just want to curl up on that bed and read a book!
The Rachel looks moste swell! Plus she's my fave gal on Friends. Perfection.
the rachel room for sure!
I'd love to give the Quicksilver puffy coat! One for a friend, and one for me! :)
The texture and colors in the Rachel were incredible! That would be the room I chose :) Thank you for every piece of inspiration you guys share with us!
I want to stay in the Rachel! The colors make me happy, and the room looks so comfy.
i really like the entry way, i love sitting on old wooden stairs like that in the sun, with a cup of tea on skype with a friend.
I would love to spend an afternoon checking out the Inn's hallway. I love the colors, the moldings and those lamp shades.
The Rachel. Definitely. I just love the vivid pink pops and the mixture of textures and finishes. Maybe I'd have to get "The Rachel" haircut from Friends to match...a girl can dream!
Love the clean lines in the Breakwater!
I love "The Rachel" room.
holliister at gmail dot com
I would stay in the Breakwater room. Because it is so peaceful and simple. The fireplace makes it feel warm and cozy, there is an integrity to the wallpaper behind the headboard. I just know I would sleep well in that room.
I know it's not technically a room to stay in, but the lounge! I just love the dark blue walls (so cozy) with pops of purple, orange and gold!
The lounge for sure. I can easily imagine settling into one of those wingbacks in the afternoon light with a stack of books and never wanting to leave--becoming part of the room. It would be heaven.
I have to say, The Library is where I'd most like to curl up for an afternoon. With a roaring fire, a bottle of wine and a good book. Divine.
The living room, no doubt. That fireplace is just too cozy!
The Rachel Room, a great read, and a cup of tea is my fantasy! This room certainly allows for the imagination to be unrestricted by reality! L.O.V.E.
I would be all about that navy lounge! I could sit by the fireplace reading books and sipping wine all afternoon!
I also just tweeted your unique link.
Such an awesome giveaway! I LOVE the living room with the fireplace... the dark walls, the colorful chairs, and that standing lamp!
really though.. who hasn't dreamed of zipping around on a vespa?
Page 82. Lay me down by the fire, feed me food and delicious hot cocoa...I'll be just fine thank you!
Four chances to win -- what's better than that?! Of all the rooms I especially love the Parsons room on pg 81! Good luck everyone entering.
cocktailchic@live.com
I would have to say the "Rachel." I feel like the fun colors would just set the perfect mood for a fun weekend!
Can't go wrong with the Parsons room. Perfectly coordinated.
The Rachel!! What a great giveaway!Hope to win :)
I wouldn't make it past the living room on page 83. I'd camp out there all night, after the other guests retreat to their rooms, cocktail in hand, wrapped in a blanket in front of that fireplace. I imagine light reflecting off of the mirrored pedestals and you could get lost in the deep tones of those walls.
