In a design world filled with shades of greige, clean crisp lines, bleached wood, and ruthlessly (no pun intended) edited interiors, I'd like to personally thank you for the colorful, vibrant, happy spaces you created that were featured in the March 2014 issue of House Beautiful.

You make it cool to combine feminine colors like turquoise and pink, and then you go the extra mile by topping it all off with a crystal chandelier, lots of flowers, silver candelabra, and a scrolly gold mirror.

You make combining floral wallpaper with floral fabric look fresh and new! All this and flowery lamps with pink shades!?! Color me enamored.

And you can layer some colorful pattern like nobody's business! You make me want to climb into this page and ride out the rest of the winter on that sofa.
So on behalf of all of us on team Pretty, thank you for doing what you do, and for making it hip to walk on the pretty side. Keep up the good work.

I love me some Ruthie Sommers. Excellent letter.
She's been a favorite of mine for a while now. I can't get enough of her images!

P.S.S. I agree with everything Kim has to say Ms. Sommers!!
Well said. I want to climb in the pictures too.
Miss Ruthie is just the best.
I agree...love the color!
I'm DEFINITELY on team pretty!! Ruthie Sommers is fantastic!
Agree with you
A to the men. Can't get enough of Ruthie - there was a rumor years ago that she had a book in the works. If so, where is it?? I need it. I think my HB subscription may have run out but I perused this issue at the store. If it doesn't come in the mail soon I'm going to have to purchase it. LOVE!!
I am so on board with this post! love Ruthie and her colorful self!
yay! for pretty! I sometimes feel I should apologize for my lack of burlap and junk on my blog. It's mostly pinks and turquoise! I guess I'm cool after all.
I'm dying over this, it is SOOOO GOOD!!! Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I am going to Pin away!
XOXO,

I haven't seen the issue yet, but now I have to go get it! Those rooms are gorgeous. I'm so tired of seeing trends with the same ole same ole! That dining room is killer!
I wish I could have her come and make over my home. Love her!
Love, love, love her! Amen!
I just poured over this edition of HB on the longest car ride ever and the details in these rooms kept me occupied for hours. She definitely loves bold and colorful, wow!
Sommer's as well as the rooms done by Amanda Nisbet had me almost crying with happiness. Almost wrote a thank you note to HB.

I just got a chance the other night to finally sit down and read/look at the spread. I read Ruthie's first :) And it was oh so good.
