the greenbrier hotel {a moment in time}

Happy Monday friends! Over the weekend I had a chance to catch up on some of my favourite online glossies, one of which was the latest issue if Matchbook Mag where I came across the article on the magnificent Greenbrier Resort.

Dorothy Draper famously designed all of hotel decor following World War II in her signature bold style, and in 2009 it underwent a refurbishment to restore the Hotel to its former glory. 

Whilst I'm the first to admit these overly glamorous rooms are not really my thing, I was drawn to how splendidly charismatic they each are, and I can see how Dorothy Draper's signature style has influenced many designers today {Kate Spade; Lily Pulitzer, Cath Kidston to name a few} proving how cutting edge these designs were at the time.

I also noticed The Greenbrier hosts the Dorothy Draper school of decorating; a 5 day course where participants learn the "art of creating interiors and enhance their decorating abilities, find their own personality, and improve their lifestyle" - how wonderful!

What do you think of Dorothy Draper's signature style?
