Vote in Our "Venetian Interiors" Book Giveaway

Don't you love to snoop inside other people's homes? We certainly do, and the new Rizzoli book Venetian Interiors (Giuseppe Molteni and Roberta Motta, with text by Nicoletta Del Buono) takes us inside 15 of the most amazing private homes in Venice. We're treated to Italian interiors that light up the pages of this amazing coffee table book - from a blue-and-white palazzeto and a fabric designer's converted lumber warehouse to the home of a DJ who has filled his elegant rooms with high-tech electronics, frescoed ceilings, and rocaille wood paneling. 

 

Win a Free Copy of Venetian Interiors

So here's the drill.

  • First, vote for your favorite Venetian interior from ten of our Sheffield School favorites (we could have picked dozens of favorites, but we drew the line at ten) - the voting survey follows the ten photos below. 
  • Second, leave a comment on what you see and why you love the different design elements in the interior that you voted for. What makes it your favorite? What are you drawn to? What's been done particularly well? What mood does this interior convey? (And so on.) 

We'll select a winner from a random drawing of all our entrants at the end of the day on Friday, July 15. We'll contact that lucky person via email to confirm, then we'll announce the Venetian Interiors book winner on Monday, June 18, along with the top three Venetian interiors based on everyone's votes. Good luck! (All photos below are by photographer Giuseppe Molteni, copyright 2012 RCS Libri S.p.A., Milan.)
