Our Winter issues have hit newsstands and the design community is abuzz with excitement for the New Year! Before we fully plunge into 2013, our Managing Editor, Arlyn Hernandez, felt it appropriate to give one final nod to the year that was by choosing her favorite spaces — from Colorado and New York to South Florida — featured in our 2012 issues. Take out your vision boards and get your Pin buttons ready, these rooms are sure to inspire.

Arizona Summer 2012: Interior Design by Scott Sanders LLC
"Millwork of any kind in any shade of blue is always going to captivate me. These doors really sing. I can see myself enjoying a cup of afternoon tea at that table, looking through those doors. Does it get any better?"

Florida Spring 2012: Interior Design by Nieto Design Group, Inc.
"This whole setup screams 'Tropical Oasis!!' to me. I love how the designer threw in some fun with the Pop art of Jackie O. I could lounge out there basically forever."
New York Fall 2012: Interior Design by Marks & Frantz Interior Design and Decoration
"This living space encompasses everything close to my heart in terms of design: emerald green, rich blues, lovely prints. This room is utter perfection. When can I move in?"

Colorado Summer 2012: Interior Design by Atelier Interior Design
"I see so many beautiful homes all day, every day. It's what I love most about my job. And every now and then, a space strikes me so much that it impacts my own home. When I came across this striking kelly green built-in, it rocked my world so, that I instantly refreshed my master bedroom in this very color scheme (there were also some vintage green glass lamps to blame here.) It just makes me smile, and ok…my heart races a little, too, when I look at it!"
