Nothing speaks more of who Dorothy Draper was than The Greenbrier Resort, W. VA. Men may come here for golf, golf, golf, but, ladies get to experience the ambiance ofDorothy Draper.......' interior designer whose ideas bloom like the true Southern hospitalityexperience throughout one's stay. Forget Minimalism. Draper favored exuberant colors and bold patterns. Even today (Schumacher has kept all of Draper's fabric designs specifically for The Greenbrier), with her eye-popping colors, oversize prints, and her touch for flamboyance still flourishes from draperies, walls, furnishings, floors and rococo scrollwork. Draper defined The Greenbrier with sophistication. Her designs also include slipcovers, house plants and black and white marble floors. What is so adorable to watch are the little Greenbrier camp guests following their camp leader who is telling them not to step on the huge 24 " x 24" white tiles. Oooooh, their little legs can't help but touch those huge white marble squares no matter how hard they try to avoid them. These photos I took before the Internet was created-!! Each time I return, I never need to take photos of these rooms, because nothing has change since Dorothy Draper decorating days. I will feature more of Dorothy Draper at The Greenbrier, once I figure out from my unbeknown blog-mentor, All Things Bright And Beautifulhow to move and place pictures where Denise want them to go.
