Easter is this Sunday, and The Glam Pad is excited to welcome all the spring dresses! Below, we share some of our favorite options for all occasions, along with imagery from home and garden that inspire them. Enjoy!
Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Casa Branca for Nine Fair Backgammon, a Devon Thatched Cottage, and Entryways New Collections for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
There is nothing quite like a good game of backgammon. But one can simply not play backgammon without the proper board. Prepare to be enchanted by the exquisite backgammon boards created in collaboration between Casa Branca and Nine Fair Backgammon. Each a canvas of Casa Branca’s distinctive motifs: from the allure of malachite to the whimsy of mushrooms, and a bold reinterpretation of wicker. Crafted by the skilled hands of Nine Fair and brought to life by the artistic prowess of Margot Larkin, renowned for her enchanting work with Casa Branca, these boards are not mere game sets but veritable works of art. May the best player win!
I have been known to say, “If it’s not thatched, I don’t want it!” This little cottage in Dolton, Devon, brings that phrase a whole new meaning, and it just so happens to be for sale. Nestled amidst a meandering lane in Dolton, Devon, lies this charming cottage. With its enchanting long barrow design and picturesque thatched roof, this home whispers tales of yesteryears the moment you lay eyes on it. From its exposed timber beams, elegant wood paneling, and the original lime plaster, each part of the house tells a story of its own. And as if the main cottage wasn’t enough, outside lies an extensive garden where an annex, cocooned by ancient apple trees, offers a hidden and almost magical oasis.
Dolton, a quiet hamlet of North Devon, first graced the pages of the Domesday Book in 1086 as “Duueltone,” a name evoking pastoral tranquility frequented by gentle doves. Throughout the centuries, this village has retained its quaint allure, its beating heart centered around the picturesque St. Edmund’s Church. Dating back to the 1600s, this abode stands as a stalwart sentinel near the church, a testament to its enduring legacy as one of the village’s oldest dwellings. This home is truly like something out of “The Holiday.” What a dream!
The Glam Pad is utterly smitten with history! And to further fuel this passion, Entryways has released an exciting collaboration with the esteemed Williamsburg Foundation. Inspired by the traditional motifs found in Colonial Williamsburg, the collection features an array of hand-stenciled doormats that are a true salute to architectural and pattern heritage.
Entryways has also proudly joined forces with the the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Revered as the globe’s foremost museum of applied arts, decorative arts, and design, with a permanent collection of a staggering 2.27 million objects, it reigns supreme as a beacon of culture and artisanship. Established in 1852, this prestigious establishment bears the esteemed namesake of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, a tribute to their enduring influence on the realms of creativity and innovation. This collaborative collection draws inspiration from the museum’s vast array of artifacts and textiles, intertwining heritage with contemporary design in a harmonious fashion.

One day, Dallas-based designer John Phifer Marrs was looking through photos of homes he had worked on, and he became aware of all the wonderful collections that his clients had and how often he had organized, arranged, and displayed all those various collections. “It was a part of the interior design that I loved,” Marrs says in the introduction of his recently released book, Interiors for Collectors. “Some clients already had collections, but really didn’t know it ― so I would gather up the various collectibles from around the house and put them all together in a bookcase or organize them in a lovely piece of furniture or cabinet. Other clients collected passionately, and I always had to find a spot for a new acquisition. Either way, I really enjoyed dealing with all these different collections and loved making them enjoyable for the client and attractive in their home.”
Hence the idea for the book ― Interiors for Collectors. As an interior designer and purveyor of antiques, Marrs helps clients build their collections and display the objects in unique and beautiful ways from arranging in a cabinet to using an entire wing of a house. This book is about the joy of collecting and the author’s passion for displaying just about anything and everything in unique and beautiful ways. It also contains a fascinating overview of the history of collecting. Told in entertaining stories and anecdotes, and lavishly photographed, let’s take a peek inside!
“ ‘I think everyone should collect something,’ I tell my clients. Some already do and some don’t. Those who do seem to get the disease quite quickly and off we go! I have been so lucky to help in the acquisition of collections and in deciding how to edit and organize, and finally, to decorate rooms, wings, or whole houses with magnificent collections of just about anything and everything you can imagine.”
~ John Phifer Marrs
This exceptional book is particularly special to me because when I was a student at SMU, I used to babysit for one of Marrs’ clients whose home is featured in this book! The timeless decor, antiques, family heirlooms, and collections influenced me tremendously and were largely instrumental for sparking my passion for traditional, classic interior design.
If you love collecting and would like to learn more about John Phifer Marrs, you will definitely want to add Interiors for Collectors to your library. You can also follow @john_phifer_marrs on Instagram for ongoing inspiration.

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Pretty Pink Tulips for Bespoke Designs, Decorate Like a Decorator, and the Child’s Garden by House of Hackney. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
In a collaboration that seems destined by fate, Elizabeth Moyer of Pretty Pink Tulips and Shari Lebowitz of Bespoke Designs have joined forces to bring forth a collection that celebrates the beauty of nature and the art of fine stationery.

It’s a fusion of floral elegance and creative imagination, resulting in a truly wonderful collection for paper enthusiasts.
Both Moyer and Lebowitz share a passion for flowers, the color pink, and the finer things in life, tracing their beginnings back to high school jobs at local stationery stores. While Lebowitz pursued degrees in History of Art and Interior Design, eventually founding Bespoke Designs, Moyer ventured into the corporate world before launching Pretty Pink Tulips after her home gained attention for its stunning garden. We have covered Moyer’s incredible tulips on numerous occasions. If you missed it, you can view her wonderful garden tour here.
Their paths converged into this collaboration, where tulips become not just a motif, but a metaphor for personal style and expression.

With every stroke of pen upon these divine cards, you’re not just sending a note—you’re dispersing fragments of Moyer’s vibrant tulip garden and Lebowitz’s imaginative spark.

The teasing is over. The moment has come to dive deeper into The Glam Pad’s visit to The Greenbrier for the annual Dorothy Draper Decorating Weekend. Embarking on a pilgrimage to The Greenbrier is practically a rite of passage for any interior design aficionado. Reflecting on days past, The Glam Pad recalls its previous invitation to partake in the weekend, a nostalgic jaunt back to 2019. Back then, the world held a different air, and the late Carleton Varney was still at the helm of Dorothy Draper. When asked once again to attend, revisiting the hotel was a no brainer, offering a chance to delve deeper into Draper’s legacy and witness the evolution of the design firm firsthand.
The festivities kicked off bright and early Friday morning. Following a delightful breakfast in the resort’s Main Dining Room, we were swiftly whisked away to the on-site upholstery workshop for an exclusive peek behind the scenes. Here, amidst the whirring of machines, we gained insight into the meticulous care that goes into preserving the hotel’s furniture, drapery, and linens.
What truly struck a chord was the unwavering dedication of the talented artisans, many of whom have honed their craft within these workshop walls for decades. Each chair, every window treatment, and every inch of fabric adorning the hotel’s interior is meticulously tended to. From recovering worn upholstery to intricate repairs and fabric updates, it’s the tireless work behind the scenes that truly breathes life into the magic of this esteemed establishment.
A few of us then ventured to explore the President’s Cottage Museum. This charming abode serves as a remarkable time capsule, preserving The Greenbrier’s fascinating history. Named in homage to the array of U.S. Presidents who once stayed in its rooms, up to the era of Dwight D. Eisenhower, it offers a captivating look into the past. Built in 1835, each room narrates a different chapter of the resort’s past through carefully preserved memorabilia and photos. It’s like stepping into a scrapbook—minus the awkward family photos.
Later, we were treated to a captivating presentation on the history of Dorothy Draper, from its humble beginnings with Mrs. Draper to its evolution under the guidance of Carleton Varney. Led by the firm’s President of Dorothy Draper and son of Carleton Varney, Sebastian Varney and the newly appointed Design Director, Rudy Saunders, it was a poignant moment to reflect on the firm’s storied past. The day culminated in a delightful reception held in the Cameo Ballroom, the perfect end to an exciting day.
Saturday morning commenced with a captivating lecture led by the dynamic design duo of Sebastian Varney and Rudy Saunders. The class began with a lively exercise to help attendees uncover their decorative styles, revealing that the majority fell into the categories of Maximalist and Classicist—no surprises there! With Sebastian and Rudy at the helm, the session delved into a fascinating and interactive exploration of color and pattern mixing, igniting our design senses. Next up was a delightful lesson on tablescaping, undoubtedly a highlight, followed by an engaging question and answer session addressing all of our burning design dilemmas.
After lunch the crew reconvened for a special tour of the resort. We were graciously guided through a couple of the resort’s cottages. Historically, many of the resort’s patrons came for an entire season making the cottages a desirable option. One of the highlights was explore the cottage Top Notch. Originally constructed in 1912, Top Notch was the private residence of George Stevens, President of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. Transitioning into an estate home in 1930, it became a beloved summer retreat for prominent families and guests at The Greenbrier. During World War II, it hosted distinguished generals, including General and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The tour then continued with a look inside the North Terrace Suite, the South Terrace Suite and the State Suite where Princess Grace famously brought her family for a holiday Amidst the grandeur of the State Suite, I found myself bestowed with the rare privilege of engaging in an exclusive tête-à-tête with none other than Rudy and Sebastian. The duo offered insights on the importance of honoring the history of Dorothy Draper while moving towards a dynamic and robust future.
When queried about their vision for the company’s trajectory and the transformations they wish to see Sebastian articulated his belief, stating, “that Carlton’s best work was during the 1970s and 1980s when he was the most artistic. It was the least Draper-esque period of his career when he was expressing his internal affinity for evolving contemporary color.” This vibrant epoch of American history profoundly influenced Carlton’s creative output. Sebastian further elucidated that as Carleton’s career drew to a close he “very much harkened back to the origins of Dorothy Draper.”
With the firm set to turn 100 years old in 2025, he sees Carleton’s evolution as a designer as a vital reference of how they move forward. He states, “I think it is really important for us to cut our own path.” As admirers seek inspiration from Dorothy Draper’s iconic style and historical significance, they face a delicate balance in charting their own course forward, determining the extent and manner in which they innovate and challenge conventions.
Their strategy involves drawing inspiration from various epochs of Dorothy Draper’s legacy, ingeniously blending historical flair with contemporary ingenuity. Their mission? To concoct fresh designs, craft innovative products, and create new sumptuous fabrics, all while seamlessly melding the richness of history with the vibrancy of the modern era.
Another pivotal element contributing to the ongoing success Draper is relationship between Sebastian and Rudy. With the baton now firmly in Sebastian’s grasp as President and Rudy as Design Director following Carleton’s reign, their leadership marks a significant paradigm shift for the firm. When queried about his design philosophy and its departure from Carleton’s, Rudy eagerly shares his insights. Growing up adoring Dorothy Draper and being heavily inspired by Carleton Varney, he aims to honor him while “looking at things with a cleaner fresher approach” that is fitting for today. He aims to “take the best of his elements while looking ahead with a younger set of eyes”
With deep admiration for the legendary Dorothy Draper and Carleton Varney, Rudy strives to pay homage to the latter while embracing a “cleaner, fresher approach” befitting contemporary sensibilities. His goal is to embrace the timeless essence of Varney’s style, while infusing it with a forward-thinking perspective through the lens of youth.
The pair left with a tease, hinting at the impending celebration and the promising ventures ahead, all in homage to their illustrious 100-year history. Stay tuned!
The evening ended with a wonderful dinner in the main dinning with a menu honoring the a dinner that took place the very same evening in 1948.
The weekend concluded with mimosas in the newly opened Dorothy Draper Home shop followed by a quick look inside the Presidential Suite before departing. Inspiring and highly insightful, I left the Greenbrier with a smile on my face and excited for the future of Dorothy Draper.

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Jennifer Hunter Design collection for Paste, a tribute to the legendary fashion icon, Iris Apfel, and a Dorothy Draper Decorating Weekend recap. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
Interior designer Jennifer Hunter Design has collaborated with the collage art company Paste to create an exceptional collection of botanical collages. Inspired by the captivating stair gallery commissioned by Jennifer for her recently completed Connecticut home, this exclusive collage series pays homage to her profound admiration for the beauty of nature.
We were initially captivated by these little beauties when Jennifer started teasing glimpses of her home on her inspiring Instagram page. Meticulously crafted by Denise with unparalleled skill, this collection breathes life into Jennifer’s beloved flowers in a vibrant and contemporary fashion. Radiant and playful, these collages infuse homes with the ideal touch of organic charm.
What truly enamors us about these enchanting collages is their heirloom quality blended seamlessly with a modern twist. Like a jubilant celebration of vitality and exuberance, we are genuinely excited to introduce this collection to you! The Botanicals are available here for purchase as original collage artwork or as giclée prints.
On March 1st, the curtain fell on the fashion legend and “geriatric starlet,” as Iris Apfel, aged 102, took her final bow. Her life was a vibrant tapestry of color and vitality, reflecting her iconic sense of style. From her inception as an interior design maven, scouring the globe for vintage treasures and founding Old World Weavers in 1950, to her unexpected rise as a global fashion muse, Apfel blazed her own trail with flamboyance, wit, and those unmistakable oversized glasses.

In 2005, Iris left the fashion world buzzing when she made history as the first non-fashion designer to steal the spotlight at the revered Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibit unveiled a handpicked array from her remarkable clothing and jewelry collection, showcasing her unrivaled flair for the extraordinary. In 2014, her unmistakable style stole the show in the acclaimed documentary “Iris,” solidifying her position as an unparalleled icon of individuality and sartorial splendor.
Since my teenage years, Iris has been a beacon of inspiration and guidance for me. Her legacy of unapologetic self-expression has been instrumental in my journey of self-discovery and defining my personal style. She epitomizes the notion that genuine style transcends age barriers, affirming that the art of dressing is indeed a profound form of self-expression.

As the current Designer in Residence, Heather, a Virginia native currently based in Birmingham, decorated Colonial Williamsburg’s Nelson-Galt house in her signature style, rooted in tradition and infused with relaxed elegance.

Welcome to the enchanting world of Bunny Williams. In her new book, Bunny Williams: Life in the Garden, the interior design legend gives readers an intimate look at her beloved house and gardens in the Connecticut Berkshires that she has spent the last 40 years developing.
Through a series of personal essays and 400 pages of rich photography, Life in the Garden illustrates how closely a home and garden can be intertwined. In self-penned stories that open each chapter, Bunny recounts her earliest impressions of living among a garden and her earnest efforts to create one of her own over many decades. Walking readers through each part of her 12-acre property, Bunny traces the various iterations of her sunken, parterre, woodland, and vegetable gardens–among others–and how they change through the seasons. Replete with practical instruction, Life in the Garden also includes Bunny’s advice on planting, flower arranging, decorating, and entertaining with an expert eye.
For Bunny, what ultimately brings a house and garden to life is its inhabitants, whether it’s her two rescue dogs that are often in tow, or the aviary residents of her birdhouse village. Memories made with the family and friends that Bunny constantly welcomes into her home are what truly define life there. As Bunny recalls summer afternoons drinking lemonade on the screened porch, Christmases with roaring fires, and the magic of candlelit dinners, it is clear that her house and gardens are as much a testament to her renowned design aesthetic as they are to a life well-lived.
Let’s take a peek inside this gorgeous new book, released this week by Rizzoli, with photography by Photography by Annie Schlechter…
