The Reception Lobby of
The Greenbrier was filled with eclectic decor.
It was quirky meets classic and all manage to come together quite nicely.
I loved the panoramic murals which were created in France by
Zuber et Cie.
Jacqueline Kennedy even decorated the Diplomatic Reception Room in the White House with similar wallpaper.
The
who's who hallway lead to the movie theater. There were many photographs like the current owner Jim Justice, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and my personal fav,
Ben Affleck...looking rather dapper if I do say so.
Below the lower lobby was the casino lobby that was filled with bright blues and reds. This fabric sure gave me my blue & white fix.
After dinner at In-Fusion we headed to the Casino Club which was an equestrian themed bar inside of the casino.
I thought this framed silk scarf was a clever idea...you can see the refection of the slot machines in the glass.
After having a few drinks it was time to hit the roulette table. My mom and I knew nothing but SAS taught us the ropes like tipping the dealer and using gambling lingo..."I want to buy in". Roulette turned out to be a lot of fun and we even made some friends at the table.
BLS and I called it a night while my gambling sister was just not ready to quit.
Between the fluffy down comforters and the turndown chocolate bedtime was pure bliss.
how fun is that blue and white chair?!?
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to return to the Greenbrier so badly! When we were there for our 10th anniversary, the main entry was closed due to the construction of the casino. They had a small casino operating, we played a few rounds, quickly lost our money and then went to dinner. Looks like you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteYou have really done an excellent job with photographing the Greenbrier ... we'll have to put this on our spring places to vacation.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,

This is such a fun post, I love the framed scarf, we have done that with some gorgeous scarves we have found, although we needed to change the out after a few years, the light faded the colors.
ReplyDeleteAs always, you look so chic, it's intriguing to me you learned how to play roulette, I have no clue how to play that one!
Sending you a smile,

The blue and white chair is to die for! The casino decor reminds me of The Oregon Grille.
ReplyDeleteGood morning from L.A.!
ReplyDeleteLooking lovely as always, and the framed scarf makes me ridiculously happy. But my favorite part has to be the little bits of history you always manage to fit into your posts. They make the places you go really come to life.
Thanks for sharing!
Warmly,
Elizabeth
I want to know who makes that fabric!! Your photo are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIsn't the Greenbrier so magical?! I loved going there when I was little on my Dad's business trips. Glad you had a great time and loved seeing your pictures.
ReplyDeleteJMW, it sounds like you must plan another trip!
ReplyDeletePreppy Princess, I have given framing a scarf heavy contemplation but have yet to find one that I like enough to frame and that I wouldn’t miss wearing! It’s good to know that light will eventually fade the scarf.
Bmore Prep, you are SO right about the Casino Club and the Oregon Grille similarities...that must be why we felt right at home!
I had a WONDERFUL time taking picture...so much eye candy! xx
Loved all of the pictures... great tour!!! The blue & white chair is unlike anything I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteLove your posts ... I have been dreaming of a trip to the Greenbrier!

Such a cute blog! I'm loving that armchair (especially because it's our fabric- I work for Manuel Canovas). Loves it! xx
ReplyDeleteI love dripping chandeliers. What a lovely place. :)
ReplyDeleteI want that aqua chair in the second picture!
ReplyDeleteNow I really want to go to the Greenbrier! I always pass by it on the way home from my Grandparent's and we stop at the Christmas Shoppe! It's so beautiful and it sounds like y'all had a great time! XO
