Guest Blogger and DesignIntake writer Julieta Alvarez is sharing her highlights of this year's Holiday House 2011. Here's more from Julieta about the rooms she especially loved.

Inspired by the Chinese New Year, Inson Wood designed a fabulous room with examples of nearly everything I think to be essential in design. The room had the best furniture and art in the house, in my opinion. The room showcased a Ruhlman desk and cabinet, Fromental wallpaper (the best embroidered wallpaper, by the way), art by Jeff Koons, fabrics by Donghia—name what you love and this room had it. The super glossy red on the walls made this one of the most vibrant rooms in the house. I also happened to love the porcelain puppy centerpiece atop a fabulous coffee table!
The multifaceted and talented Suzanne Eason designed another one of my favorite rooms. Suzanne is an interior designer, creative director and a graphic designer. She also spoke perfect Spanish!
In Suzanne's Halloween-inspired room, wallpaper of black birds on a white background from Trove covered the entire ceiling and played the main role in the room. Black and white photography by Chip Forelli and Stark Carpets covered the rest of the surfaces and accessories like orange Hermés boxes and luxurious scents finished the room.
A super refreshing thing to see in the Holiday House this year was a room designed in a masculine theme. Of the more masculine design styles, talented architects Thomas Hickey and Edward Yedid’s room was far darker than many others, complete with chilling art and minimal patterns.
Tomorrow, Julieta tells us which feminine room she would love to spend a girl’s afternoon in and where art deco design looked best in the 2011 Holiday House.
