Another day in the life of what do we edit next in our magazines

Dear President,Legals and Decorators;Hello,another day in the life of what do we edit next in our magazines of wishes and dreams and house beautiful.That gave me the idea to decorate where the largest amount of people would enjoy seeing it.That would be a great idea for the next issue,with ideas to take home.The place I chose first was the Fairmont Chateau Whistler for its Winter Wonderland climate.The second was the Fairmont Vancouver Hotel.I have not seen the inside in years ,so I am decorating with a thought of what would look beautiful and the colour scheme may have to vary with what it is decorated as.Colour choice-Purple and Ivory or Royal Blue.Lobby area-Festive wreaths done in evergreens,sprayed with frosted mauve and have dark purple satin ribbon or velvet on them.Accent with gold Duncan Fife symbols .Have about six of them hanging in the Lobby area.A large Christmas tree decorated with purple metallic balls,frosted mauve violins and large ivory metallic balls with frosted ivory or mother of pearl angels.On the top have an ivory satin Angel.Clear Christmas lights or light mauve if you can find them.Tree skirt done in an arrangement of musical instruments on a dark purple background with ivory pointsettas and a dark purple or ivoryfringe.Have ivory/white pointsettas on desk in dark purple foil or ceramic ivory square pots with a garland scupted on them.Add a little gold antiqueing to the pots.Have toss cushions made up to match the tree skirt for the lounge chairs in the Lobby area as well.Stationary-Done as a ribbon accross the bottom of the page with the same decor as the as the toss cushions or embossed dark purple with gold ribbon trim in a metallic.A gold ribbon metallic bow on the top on ivory or white stationary and pens in ivory or white.You may want to sell some of these sets in the shops.The dining room area-Have pleated moire purple placemats.The pleat done as the exterior ruffle.Napkins to match.Dinnerware white or ivory with silverware.Centre pieces-have done as frosted candle holders with the mauve frosted violins on them and angels etched in glass or embossed with glitter and laquered.These should be circular.Have decorative flag tapestry hangings of the same fabric with ivory fringe or gold on brass rods with a large purple 8 ribbon bow on them in satin or velvet.One on every post or two on each wall.Christmas menu-Have embossed dark purple with gold ribbon in centre page.this would be on white or ivory paper,fine Caligraphy in gold writing.Have large ivory/white pointsettas at the doorway on iron table stand or a wooden column stand.Add some purple satin or velvet ribbons to these.The rooms -have the same flags on exterior door hooks or on posts or walls down the hallway.Also add some pointsettas on stands at the ends of the hallway.Rooms-Keep simple ,some festive stationary and perhaps a Christmas morning basket of Flavoured coffees,cookies,chocolates ,teas and nuts.Tie some ribbons on the roosters of the table lamps or attach a rooster pointsetta in ceramic or pewter,these would be ivory if done in ceramic .Add some rectangular toss cushions to match the tapestry decor on chairs or beds,that you can change to a valentines theme in February which would be a tapestry effect of Cupids with hearts and flowerson on a mauve background.The same for the dinig area,for ambiance.This is my suggestion,as I stated you may want to change the colour scheme to coordinate with the hotel.The washroom area-keep simple by having foil purple bows in the corners of the mirror,decrative hand towels done in paper as the tapestry idea.6 inch by 12 inch.Have a cinnamon almond hand cream.The exterior of the building with the teal roof limits the lighting to clear glass or green on the trees and dark purple /mauve on the building.I think I would stay with the more elegant look of the clear lights on the trees.Serve an after dinner gift of a small box of Purdy's chocolates tied with gold foil ribbon.PKS of 2.Have large purple foil gift boxes under the tree with ribbons and bows in gold and ivory.These are empty .Hope you like my inspiration and have fun,My only hope is to make it there to see it.Next Project;The Keg resteraunts-Keeping with the tree theme that I just designed for the new Northern and interior resteraunts have a frosted tree that sits over a round candle holder at each table ,with little air holes in them.Place mats done with Christmas tree motif over them,an overlay of trees in natural colours and the edges scalloped with copper.A Christmas tree in the Lobby area done with minature train sections on it and balls in copper .Have small railroad station houses in ivory/russet and black.Have a wooden star on the top of the tree .You may want to add some russet velvet ribbon or bows as well.Have the same cinnamon almond hand cream in the washrooms.Maybe serve a cinnamon/almond white frosted truffle cake for a desert special with a chocolate cinnamon stick on the top.Bathrooms have done in a tree foil ribbon,garland swag accross the mirror sections with large bows on each side.A puffy garland of pleated copper foil with velvet edges would look great.Large red pointsettas with copper foil and bow.Purchase specials-Gift cards ,Keg Art Cards done as copper foil with embossed wreaths and pointsettas on them in red.The Keg imprint on the back.Sets of 20 cards.The etched glass sets of course with the Keg on them ,and gift cards done as Christmas card idea.A drink special of the cinnamon/almond coffee with whip cream and swirls of carmel in them.I think this could be used in all Keg locations,but I will leave that to the judgement of the franchise owner.Sincerely Louise Marica Robertson;New Item;I would just like to add that the EBN is looking a little to much like a country shrine of eclectic colours.Would you please make note that a franchise is proffessional with all locations looking the same or they lose their franchise rights.Sincerely Louise Marica Robertson-Disney
