This is “The Study” at our DuPont Circle darling, Swann House. I love this shot by because it shows off our antique Persian wool rug mural. 😍 You may have noticed I love a wall mounted rug…I have them installed at our office, at home, at , at Swann House (pictured), at …aside from being a form of original art, they also helps # with acoustics in commercial spaces and they are surprisingly economical per square foot, when considering the size of the artwork. This one is even lovelier in person and the colors were perfect for this space!

This was fun to wake up to today! Wendy of Chair Whimsy posted a YouTube video about her stay with us at our Key West property! (Entirely unprompted and unsponsored.)

I've admired Wendy since my shop girl days as we were both in the business of upcycling furniture with unique textiles and unexpected color combos. I didn't know she was staying with us until our innkeeper asked if a guest could take footage of some of the other rooms, and she did this entirely on her own. 🥰

Check out the link to her You Tube video in our blog post below:

Marrero's Tour by Chief Creator at Chair Whimsy Creative Director behind the Chair Whimsy movement, educator & boutique chair designer, Wendy Conklin, stayed at Verdigreen's most colorful hotel, Marrero's Guest Mansion in Key West. She reviewed the whimsical interior of our boutique hotel and we can't get enough of it! Watch the entire episode on...

A glimpse into The Gallery at now that we’ve sprinkled a little holiday magic.

Late night at the new office awaiting our furniture & feeling super grateful for this space. (Even though our deliveries don’t always make it to us since we don’t have signage yet.) 🫠
Stay tuned for a {verdigreen} open house this Spring!

We love that the tradition continues! If you are missing your favorite makers like Jana's Jammy or Marie Saint-Victor Design, visit Paul's shop White Rabbit Black Heart on Glenridge Ave next to Dolly Moo on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Sunday to support the local artisans!

Next Friday Saturday & Sunday we are hosting a Makers Market for our local Artisan to showcase their work ❤️

Our professional images are back from our super talented photographer friend and we are over the moon in love!

Tamara captured the essence of our Mid Century boutique motel and we couldn’t wait to share these shots. Swipe to see the last one…she even replicated our vintage 1950s postcard angle!

We 💙 a good split screen!
Here’s a Before & After of the cottage formerly known as MacDill at our Treasure Island boutique motel
——
Left side: the before in yellow
Right side: the after in blue

Even though we loved the yellow cottage before, we wanted to rebrand it as The Captain to honor its Air Force roots and the bright blue hue just felt a little more regal.
⭐️
To create a more substantial appearance, we paneled the metal columns with wood planks.

We used color theory for a pop of fun complementary orange and kept the trim and door white so the new paint color stands alone.

Stay tuned to see the interior!

Throwback Thursday to…yesterday when we celebrated our newest {verdigreen} property, The Swann House in Dupont Circle, DC.
🥂🦢❤️

We are back in Key West this week and it's perfect timing because the images we took in April are edited and ready to share!

Check out our {verdigreen} property in Old Town Key West Marrero's Guest Mansion

It's a historic Victorian mansion turned micro hotel that we bought just under a year ago. We renovated and rebranded it and are enjoying our visit this week now that the hard stuff is behind us. 😎

We replaced almost all of the furnishings, sourced new art, linens, rugs, pillows, lighting, etc. and you may even notice some Annie Sloan projects as well! Krisztina Crane beautifully captured the space...even more photos on the hotel FB page!
