I called The Greenbrier to see if these were the original Dorothy or if they had been redone in the interim, and I was told it was the original Dorothy, which surprised me on some of them as they looked a bit like 80's makeovers. It will be interesting to see how the remodeling turns out. becky Pefect descripion of country club Jennifer - actually, I think The Preppy Handbook recommends decorating in such a manner as well!

It looks like they took an old sofa from the 1960's and reupholstered it in teal. That's the 80's thing. And this looks so "blue blood country club" to me. In a country club ( and I speak from the experience of my tragic youth) you want everything to look like it's never changed and always in a slightly dissheveled state. It's so everyone can stand around and act like they don't care - that these things have been in the family for years and one has much more important things to attend to - like messing with the downstairs maid.
