susie said...

This is such a wonderful contest I am having so much fun leaving comments on you four wonderful ladies' blogs!!
Well, I picked this for Anne's contest as my place to go & now you're telling me I have to pick one room!? This is tough.. but I think I would have to say the room with the bike paintings and bike on the wall from page 94/95. Since I would most likely be going with my bf and he is an avid biker this would be just the sort of thing he would love as well as myself! :)

missvaleriemarie said...

OMG THE RACHEL ROOM!! Fabulous indeed. =) I wish MY room could look like that - love the use of vibrant colors.

Hi! I would definitely want to stay in The Library. It looks so cozy. It overlooks the ground with view of the river, AND it opens to a private patio! I really don't think it gets better than that, does it?!!

it's a head-to-head tie between the parsons room or the rachel room. both have pops of character that would be so lovely to take in. if i have to pick, it's the rachel room.

what a gorgeous inn!

ladynoble said...

Absolutley loving the Captain Fairfield Inn shoot. I would most definitely be hanging out in the lounge. Yes the Rachel room looks gorgeously comfortable too but I can count 8 chairs in the lounge room photo and to me the more the merrier! I'm thinking the kind of cats that hang out at the Captian are the kind I wanna get to know. Plus that wine has my name on it and there is a zebra rug on top of a Persian rug, come on now!

John Stoffer said...

I just want to hang out in that bright, front hallway. Beautiful light.

kingkaren13@yahoo.com said...

I LOVE the Rachel Room. The grass cloth on the walls with the pop of magenta make me swoon. Also the entry way with that beautiful staircase and the yellow just pops, it's elegant and funky at the same time. I will be filing that one away for future use. I love the mix of the old architecture and bold colors and modern furnishings with a traditional twist. I wish I were there right now!

Jess said...

What a cool little inn-and I have a friend from college who lives in Kennebunkport, how funny! I went to their website, and between the gorgeous bookshelves and fireplace, I love love love the room they call the Library.

Chellie said...

The Library - that fire, the bed, such a beautiful traditional experience. Beautiful.

Love RUE! Thanks for the chance to win.

Unknown said...

I would, without a doubt, go with the Parsons room. Those deep pink shades, wildly awesome headboard, funky and earthy mirror and the stunning but calming wallpaper. I love everything about that room! Oh, and you can't leave out that glass fireplace!! Now this would be perfect for a day with the man!

Kristin said...

The Rachel is bright, textured, and cozy... all things that I try to achieve when creating a space! What a stunning Inn! Girl's weekend?! Or maybe a getaway with my soon-to-be-hubby?

Kristin said...

Oh the Rachel room! I'd love to be in a space that the owner/designer values most! The bright, bold colors and textures and the cozy bed are to die for. Maybe a girl's weekend? Maybe a trip with my hubby-to-be? Pure delight.

Alison said...

The Rachel, please, and breakfast in that incredible dining room. Lovely issue, as usual.

Elaine said...

Ohhhh I'd stay in the Rachel. I've admired that curtain fabric for quite some time!

Would love to lounge in "The Rachel" room. Love the color combo of the green velvet and pattern curtains.. gorgeous!

Elise said...

I have to side with the woman who put so much work into this amazing B&B.

The Rachel.

The fuschia curtains are enough of a jewel tone that they are rich and elegant, the green head board is the perfect accent, and the thought of reading a book in that stunning bed with those white sheets is almost too much to handle!

todayisfab said...

I would give the bag that says my book club only reads wine labels to my AUNT!! HAHA fits her perfectly :)

The Rachel room is fun and full of pretty bright things. An afternoon there with a best girl friend would be so fun!

Henry said...

That living is built for champions and I would love to spend an afternoon reading, writing, or watching Doctor Who in it.

kelly said...

as soon as the new rue issue launched, i excitedly awaited the end of my day so i could sit with a glass of wine and pour over each page. of all of the amazing featured items, i’d wish for the mary mcdonald lamp. i would redecorate my entire bedroom around it. *pausing to daydream*

aspen summit said...

parsons room without a doubt!

Mi said...

I would love to stay in "Tha Rachel" first, it is a beautiful room, the colors are so vibrant, it feels so alive in there!

Thank you! xo

rcd said...

That Madewell lingerie set is perfect – equally the right kind of casual (with my boyfriend’s cardigan and comfy camp socks), the right kind of flirty fun, and right amount of sophistication to let show through a vintage lace blouse I have!

Carolann said...

I love the entry hall :)

anne taylor said...

i would love to spend an afternoon in the navy lounge room, reading and writing. but if i stayed over night, i'd want to stay in the rachel! that design is gorgeous!

cianne said...

The Rachel is so beautiful! The vibrant curtains, the bedding. I am obsessed.

Jess & Mike said...

The lounge. Those navy walls with the pops of color from the chairs. If they were booked for the weekend I'd totally agree to sleep in there. I'd even promise to wear my best pajamas and if they agreed I'd have to then go buy new pajamas...but it'd totally be worth it!
