Nobody talks about the sensuality built into these styles -- incl Sister Parrish and her buds her in the US.Dorothy Draper isn’t everyone’s “cup of tea,” but I like it and appreciate it. You’re absolutely right…the Greenbrier Hotel and it’s design, decor, and personality is definitely a throwback to an earlier era. In the case of Draper and the Greenbrier, the late ‘40’s - early 50’s. Relaxing with a nice book and hot beverage. Talking to friends, or striking up a conversation with someone interesting you just met. Enjoying some peace and quiet but not feeling alone. Warm and cozy, not rushed.

Family fais do do, ur killin me.
I loooove Beach music! Every single dayeeyeah of ma life. Whoa Oh!
Team Mummy!
And what’s amazing to me is that for the amount of money many of the American Patreons send to SJ annually, they could travel to a hotel like the Greenbrier and actually experience what Fanny is trying to sell. And it’s practically in many American patrons’ own backyard! I’d much rather spend a few days at the Greenbrier resort than travel all the way to France, in the middle of nowhere, to tour that farmhouse dump and meet the twenty-something year old Squirrel who thinks he’s an expert on decor, wine, and table settings. Hoping to get a cheese sandwich, ass bread, or maybe an armpit baguette to eat by the mosquito infested fountain. And you know the entire time the La Lande gang will act as if it’s really beneath them to rub elbows with the patron tourists (if not to the patron’s face, then behind their backs).
Of course she is. It's obvious from the way she writes. Fanny's style and tone.
I am there with you. I had more fun in Key West than anywhere including New Orleans, such a laid back fun place but not sure my liver could withstand that kind of abuse now.Jules, you have so many hidden talents! Your tiles are awesome! You girls have fun in Key West. Those days are over for me. In the 70s I'd awake too many times to count in a small tent...hung over and boiling from the sun. Those days were wild and so uncommercial commpared to five years ago when I was there. These days, travel excludes Florida for us. This old lady likes a comfortable room and low humidity.
Maybe the twenty-five-year-old and his sugar mama are hoping for a nail polish sponsor from Nailberry?

Is it not curious that Dan or Dana were not asked to make the meal?
I guarantee that Amory put up that chandelier and he came in at the end to finish it off with tightening some screws for the smoke and mirrors .
Now that is truly sickeningOh! Have you ever seen or stayed at the Greenbrier Hotel? It’s like Dorothy Draper exploded in every room!

Yes, front porch was where we spent the summers. We had lamps. One of the best things in the world was the chaise longue in the corner -- the house was on the corner of two streets with four sidewalks and every other kid in town in view. Sidewalks. Dang.
Beach music is everything. You don't even need a beach.
Jules, I just thought of something I would like if you have the time. I remember when I first posted, Mojo Dublin thought I was Potts, so in memorial of that wonderous moment, I would love it if you could make me one of your precious tiles in the image of this Potts photo to use as my avatar. THANK YOU ahead of time! I will treasure it forever!
Well, I am from Cajun country.
Why do they put those horrible bulbs in them?
Basic rule - paint a few different colour swatches on the surface before deciding on the final colour. That colour is putrid.
I sort of love those old English look interiors and I just love Sister Parrish - she had pekingese dogs
They're probably awaiting LEDs to arrive via Cadeaux.
SMH. Sorry you had to go through that.
