Pool House Winners

Winner: Crysdawn “Our New Jacuzzi for the Pool House”

The neural colors of this room really let the blue ocean shine through. The different hues and textures of the wood really give it depth. And of course you need a pile of fresh fruit to keep your energy up. Great job.

Lu-Anne “Pool House Fun”

What a cool, fun room. Lots of bright colors to keep the energy going. The flooring is one of my favorite touches. Of course you need a supply of surf boards if you are living on the beach.

mountainalive “Blue Pool House”

Blue like the ocean, white like the clouds. This room is so chic.  I love the addition on the different throw pillows and the dark brown of the chairs really gives it elegance.

DDH Community winner: photo513 “Patriotic Pool House”

Simple, fresh and clean. Great use of the different hues of blue with pops of ruby-red pillows.  I love that there are a lot of different sitting areas. Great for entertaining.

Congrats to all the winners and thank you all for participating.

Indoor Picnic Winners

Grand Prize Winner  Meegha “Rainy Day Picnic”

What a fun little picnic for two! Great way to beat the rain. I love all the flower bouquets bringing the outside in. The red wallpaper is a bold choice but makes it welcoming. Very cute!

Single Room Beach Winner salete “picnique gostoso”

Breezy and relaxing picnic! You almost feel like you are sitting on the beach or in a forest with all those trees. The furniture placement really brings the room together.

Single Room Victorian Winner Lu Anne “Fireside Picnic”

Quite and quant. Love the light colors with touches of rose and purple. The warm colors from the fire and hardwood floors really gives it a homey feel. As well as the lace curtains.

DDH Community Winner cathyritz “Picnic in the Solarium”

Bright and cheerful room! Love the combo of the yellows and greens in the floor paint and window treatment. The pops of red balance out the room nicely! Looks like a fun meal.

Congrats to all the winners!

DDH   Community Winner: Ritin “Ah! The Soothing Blues Spa Retreat”

 Full House Winner: debm992000  “Seaside Spa”

“The rich hues and grand entry are luxurious, while the warm, soft colors of the small spa rooms are conducive to deep relaxation.  The art-deco hearts add a playful, contemporary vibe that certainly makes this spa unique.”

 

Single Room Victorian Winner: Meegha “Tranquility”

“You had me at claw-foot tub!  What’s more tranquil than soaking in a hot bath while relaxing in front of a fire?  The neutral, patterned wallpaper and rich crimson curtains are just as decadent.  The vases of long-stemmed roses are the perfect touch! “

Single Room Beach Winner: Aprillee “Pedicure and Massage”

“Wow.  The exposed stone and varying shades of cool blue are perfectly punctuated by the hanging paper lanterns.  Minimal wall décor is the perfect way to showcase the gorgeous stone detail.  Beautiful!”
