Awesome contest Rue ladies! I would absolutely have to agree with Crystal’s pick of the fabulous Vespa–the color, the leather, the vroom vroom. Done and done.
I think my favorite room is the Parsons, pictured on Page 81! The Rachel is a close second favorite.
Thanks to you wonderful Rue gals for putting together such an awesome giveaway! My fingers are crossed :)

I would love to own the dwellstudio tubular burst object. Im ready to start collecting good pieces to decorate my home.

I am in love with the Parsons Room. That headboard is absolutely the perfect touch to such a chic space.
This is kind of ridiculous. I would love to win EVERYTHING in the gift guides (you ladies have taste!)...
As for the Inn, I'm sure this is a favorite for any who lays eyes on it, but the Rachel Room is my pick. I'm not a pink girl, but those drapes are amazing!
ohhhh that dwellstudio bedding! so perfect!

Amazing giveaway! I would love to stay over in The Rachel. I love the vibrant colors!!

Gotta go with the Rachel on Page 86... That sunburst mirror and colorful pillow are my two standouts! The rest of the issue is so gorgeous too... Rue never disappoints.

I loved the "Room 4" page, with that awesome headboard!
The Lee Jofa drapes in the other bedroom were pretty amazing, too, though!

100% the Rachel Room! I love the pink curtains mixed with the grasscloth walls... there is amazing texture in that room which makes it so cozy. I was so happy to learn that you went to Maine! Next time you are here I want to give Rue a tour of Portland!! Crazy giveaway... fingers crossed!

-meesch@aperfectkindofday.com
The Rachel Room is amazing... the mirror, the drapes, the pillow on the bed... LOVE! Thank you for putting on such an incredible giveaway, fingers crossed!!
The Rachel of course! Love the color palette!
I'd stay in the Rachel... Or the kitchen... Or, you know, Bri could just invite me over to her pad. Whatever.
If I can't stay in Bri's loft from the previous pages, it would have to be the Rachel room on pg 86. I can't get enough of the pink drapes and the fuzzy green headboard. My boyfriend loves boring plaid and flannel... this is like a girls dream!
I would love to spend the day in the lounge; I just adore those dark walls!

I tweeted about the giveaway!
@skinnymirror
The Rachel Room is my favorite. :)
Rebecca.A.Dreiling@gmail.com
I've got my eye on the puffy coat. Perfect for holiday travels to Middle Earth (aka the Midwest)
Love this idea! Fingers crossed!
The Rachel room is by far one of the most beautiful rooms I've ever seen. This entire hotel is magnificent!
The bedroom with the zebra headboard.
I'd pick that dramatic living room. Makes me feel glamorous just looking at it.
id stay in the rachel room!
as long as it isn't cold, i would sit in that mustard chair in the entryway. the natural light in that room looks fantastic.
I would love to spend the afternoon in the living room...the navy walls with all of those jewel tones are so pretty. It would be great on a rainy day or a sunny one...
The Rachel is super glam and girly. what fun!
The Rachel is color perfection that would make it so easy to wake up chipper in the morning.
(only if i could convince the hub that bright raspberry curtains are the way to go...hmmm)
Great giveaway Rue Team!
Bisous
I love the Rachel room!
I love the lounge with that navy paint color!
I would most DEFINITELY spend an afternoon in the bedroom with that plush headboard and pink pillows. I could definitely see myself lounging on the comfortable mattress and watching a movie with friends.
I could literally sit in the black living room all day and get lost in the details – imaging that I was solving a 100-year-old mystery.
I would love 4 of the abc home essai chairs to pair with my rustic/industrial dining room table!
oh, this is incredible. i love that room with the pink curtains...
The living room is pretty fabulous! Wouldn't mind hanging out there reading a book and drinking a latte! What a fabulous giveaway!

I think I'd have to go with the Rachel!
There are some many delectable (eyes to feast on haha) things in Rue Magazine – but that Elva Fields’ A Hint of Fabulous necklace is divine since I love accessories and mix match styles. Oh, and I tweeted, too! ^-^
I would LOVE the Z Gallerie Chandelier. It would look perfect in my new place! The new issue is FIERCE.

Is it weird saying that I would love to spend the afternoon on the stairwell in the entryway with my mac and a latte?
The Rachel. Hands down. :) Thank you guys for this cool giveaway!
I admire all these rooms, but I would like to spend an afternoon in the kitchen! Making a beautiful dinner from scratch, preferably pasta related!
(I also tweeted for the contest)
I could move into the Rachel room! Thanks for the giveaway!
I like the "rachel"!
"The Rachel" should be renamed "The Amanda". I wouldn't leave that room...
I'd sit on the entry stairs, wearing a beautiful dress, drinking the wine from page 82, waiting for my husband to come downstairs for dinner... swoon...
The Rachel is beautiful and what I wish my room looked like!
I would be plopped on page 71 at the dining room table! Could spend a whole day reading, doing crossword puzzles, eating those pears, and staring at that gorgeous wall :)
I have lived in an apartment for almost 7 years now. I miss the feeling of being in a house/home with a fireplace. I would definitely spend the day in living room doodling by the fireplace!
I love the lounge with the dark walls and zebra rug!!
Thank you!
No doubt "the Rachel" room. I love it!

Thanks so much for this awesome giveaway!
"The Rachel" is my favorite room! Those curtains and that gorgeous sunburst mirror would be the loveliest details to which to wake up! And I would looove to have my morning coffee while peering out of those big windows and onto Kennebunkport. Gorgeous!
I would pick the Rachel room since it looks so comfy...nice bed and I love the living room too but I'd love to cook a nice meal in the beautful kitchen first!
Despite my total aversion to pink, the Rachel room looks like the perfect combination of luxe and cozy. Perfect for an afternoon with Champagne and a good book.

I would love to spend the day in the lounge. I adore those walls!
The Rachel is an unexpected gem, so unconventional for a B&B, yet it's so very right!
What an amazing giveaway! Thanks so much for being so generous!
The Rachel is most definitely the room of my choice. Hell, let's be honest, I'd love to live in that room.
Hmmmm, so many lovely, lovely things... minimal or max... Professor aftershave... or Vespa?

Crystal, I would love to spend an afternoon in parlor with the fire going, lots of tea, lots of cuddling with my honey, and lots of giggles. I hope I can help re-create it with this loot in front of my duraflame electric fake fireplace! ;) Cheers, d'Auria (contact.dauria (a) gmail (.) com)
I'm actually really in love with their lounge, I'd spend many an afternoon curled up in front of the fire there. Then I'd retire to the Parsons, because I am always inspired by Zebra print when it's done tastefully!
I would love to stay in the Parsons room! But all are beautiful!
Allyson, amartin318{at}gmail{dot}com
I have to say the Rachel, but they're all so gorgeous!

I love the room with the fuchsia curtains and the bright pillow!
Holy moly, the "Rachel" room is just begging me to come jump on that bed! But I'd be just as fine curling up on the rug in the entry way... such a fun b&b!
WOWZA!hmmm. talk about tough choices. But, the Rachel is totally my style!
Amazing Giveaway! Anyone who gets it is blessed!
SOME giveaway, ladies!
Of course since I am a zebra freak, it was between the bedroom and the living area, but since I need a break, I am going to have to lock myself up in the bedroom!

The "Rachel" room is my favorite! I love the colors and patterns in there. It would be so much fun to stay in that room!
Fingers crossed!
That zebra rug and I would have an amazing time together, so gotta be the lounge.
Awesome giveaway! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win SO many amazing things! Well, there aren't pictures of all 9 bedrooms, but I'm really digging the coziness of the lounge: those dark walls, purple chairs, oriental and zebra rugs, gold mirror, etc. My kind of eclectic!
i want to lounge in that lounge with the navy walls and rug on rug action. Please pick me for your generous give away!
I would love to hang out in the lounge by the fireplace!
The lounge looks so cozy, with the dark walls and the fireplace. That would be my pick...

Easy, the kitchen!
the lobby! it is the dream i have dreamed for my own living room!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
The Rachel room is definitely my favorite!
The Rachel, who wouldn't want to stay in comfy bed for an afternoon.
the RAchel room is perfect for a relaxing afternoon. I would totally spend hours there. Love the drapes and the low green headboard. I am a big fan of Rachel Reider so glad you featured her in your magazine!
as I have a kind of severe crush on grey walls recently, that would be the living room )
Nat

I'd like to daydream, or holiday dream away in the Rachel room. Sugarplum fairies and the like seem to seep out of the beautiful interior design!
Merci,
Maggie!
margaret.s.dodson@gmail.com
THE RACHEL ROOM. so cute and pretty. :) :)
I would LOVE to give my twin sister the leather jacket from mango-that way I can borrow it since we're the same size :)
nikiyac@hotmail.com
the "plush Parsons"! i don't know how my husband would feel about the zebra headboard, but it doesn't matter, i LOVE it! :)
camillesofiajones@gmail.com
I'm obsessed with that Dwell bedding. My favorite item in the gift guides is the Fishs Eddy mermaid bottle opener. It's so kitschy!
Oh man, too many things to choose from. I would have to go with the ABC Chair or the Mango leather jacket. xxo
This is HUGE! I love all those things so much and the yellow anthro jacket in the fashion editorial and the necklace on pg. 24.
put me in that navy lounge with the zebra rug, place a glass of bubbly in my hand, and call it a day!
This is an amazing contest. I would love to stay in the Parson's room.
I think the entryway is actually my favorite! I could definitely spend a whole afternoon sitting in there chatting or reading a book!
Ah! What a great question because the Captain Fairfield was my favorite feature in the entire magazine (aside from the great gift guides.. and Bri's apartment.. okay it's hard to pick!).
I love myself a good staircase, so my answer my be a bit unorthodox, but I'd love to spend a cozy afternoon in the entry way. The staircase is gorgeous and bright, as well as colorful without being overwhelming. It would be perfect for reading a book and drinking tea.
xoxo
Wow, this B&B tour was fabulous, especially since I live next to one and in an 1850s house myself! SOOO for me the Living Room is TO DIE FOR! Love the Zebra rug over the oriental...the mix of chairs and mirrored tables - with a gorgeous gilt framed mirror on the wall..great reflective surfaces and warmth - that is most definitely the room I would be lounging in!
I would lounge on that bed in the Rachel. Divine.
Definitely loved the Dwell bedding!!! Bri’s apt was simply awesome! Loved it! My email address is missesq3@gmail.com
I would love to spend time in the rachel room.
Love Rue, and would love a much needed, (given my three crazy toddlers!) getaway in the Rachel - restful but inspiring - perfect! Thanks for a great issue!!
I love the Rachel room, what fabulous curtains!
The lounge- curled up with a good book and a cup of tea!
that dark blue room pictured on page 82 & 83 is such a dream! I could spend a lifetime in that room! its beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win!
Parsons Room
Definitely the Rachel! Love th e pop of color the bright pink drapes add!
how could i not say the rachel?! those curtains, that bed... amaze!
The Rachel room is just so chic!
hazzarde13(at)gmail(dot)com
I am LOVING the entry way, the perfect first impression. The light fixtures are my favorite. However, I also love the mix of the blue wall paper and the yellow accents. It would take me awhile to move onto the rest of the place! Thanks again for this AMAZING giveaway Rue Girls!!
The Rachel is beautiful! I love the color combination and the pink curtains are to die for.
Um, hello... the action bunny with shiny gold pants! He's just so cute and I would love to see him in my stocking. Great issue guys, I love every page!
