Feb 7thInterior Design, VA (&WV) Getaways

Two of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been are right here in the VA, WV area, The Homestead, and The Greenbrier.  Since its the week of VDAY, and this isn’t intended to be a full blown review or comparison, I’ll keep mostly to the aesthetics.

(photo credit, and more great style)  Next, how do you even pick just one photo of The Greenbrier?

For more information on The Greenbrier’s original interior designer, Dorothy Draper, check out the Greenbrier’s take, and grab the coffee table book we have (authored by the The Greenbrier’s current designer).

So how much do my wife and I love America’s great resorts?  We got married at The Homestead, and The Greenbrier inspired the design of our own home.

My wife picked the colors, and chose wallpaper made by Carleton Varney.  Shes also responsible for the built-ins, dental, chair rails, decorations, plants, and all the Mackenzie-Childs.  However, I will admit that the smaller flower arrangements were done by yours truly.  The best part?  I spray painted the mason jars, bought the flowers, and added the quail and pheasant feathers my buddies and I brought back from a hunting trip, and gave each of my fellow hunters their own arrangement for VDay last year.  They were as embarrassed as I was, so it was a great success.
