Our Winner in the Venetian Interiors Rizzoli Book Giveaway Contest

Happy July 4th! We hope you're enjoying your day off, your BBQ fun, and your annual dose of fireworks. We know that Sheffield Says reader and Complete Course in Interior Design student Katy Hahn will be having a good time today because she just won our recent contest, and she's the recipient of the new Rizzoli book Venetian Interiors by Giuseppe Molteni and Roberta Motta, with text by Nicoletta Del Buono. (Visit Katy's website for her blog and interior design services.) Here's Katy's winning comment, a description of why the following room was her favorite (and the favorite of most people who voted in our Venetian Interiors - Pick Your Favorite Interior contest).  
I loved Venetian Interiors 5. I appreciated the architectural detailing and how the different textures gave depth to the room. I liked the spash of color on the neutral backround. I found the mood of the room to be calm and sophisticated yet warm and inviting. I loved the patina styled doors and the bust of the woman juxtaposed at the doorway as if to greet her guests. What I love most about this room is the wall with patterned glass doors and windows that goes all the way to the ceiling. I love how it floods the room with natual light and brings the outdoor beauty in.

These next two interiors gathered the second and third highest vote tallies in our contest.

Thank you to everyone who voted and left comments on their favorite rooms, and congratulations again to Katy!
