I am back with a few more of my own photos taken during one of our stays at
The Greenbrier Resort, W. Va.
It was at The Greenbier that I first began taking photos of window treatments.
Since then, I take photos of window treatments wherever I stay.
Dorothy Draper's talent extended beyond the raising of ceiling, large doorways and rococo scrolls. Her drapery treatments are different in every room at The Greenbrier Resort. This room is off the lawn croquet course and has had only one "add-on" since Draper designed it.
This portrait needs no introduction.....grace always adorn this room......before this only
added feature......when Princess Grace and her family visited the resort......
long after Draper did the room.
I feel like Dorothy Draper was thinking of Scarlet when she designed this window treatment.
Dorothy Draper loved big scale. Visually, nothing speaks more truth, than my "GQ" husband, 6'3", posing in one of the resort's doorways.... leading off from an open porch (with his Davidoff cigar and Brandy........yes, a more recent photo taken while attending a Holland & Holland Sporting Clays Event). Note how the window panes curve upwards to enhance the height even more.
Talk again,
Denise

A great example of scale of doors with the "GQ" man posing.........I have been here and never thought to take pictures of DD's work. Will when I return this Fall thought!!
Glad he was enjoying a Davidoff! The interior shots and design are gorgeous. Thanks for posting them.
