School of Decorating

A day of decorating with Carleton Varney & Associates in the luxurious Greenbrier setting. The workshop is open to all including non-registered hotel guests.


The Greenbrier, the famous award winning National Historic Landmark hotel in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia has been serving distinguished guests since 1778. The Dorothy Draper tradition of vibrant colors, floral patterns, bold contrasts, large scale, and neo-baroque style is still evident and flourishing in the hotel today as the tradition continues to be carried forth with the Dorothy Draper Co. design team, with Carleton Varney as president and owner.


The Greenbrier Resort is easily accessible and located within a 5 hour travel radius of major metropolitan areas.
