The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread

It's all beautiful to me due to the fact that if I am looking at it, then I am home.

You know this is really sad, "the old guy" and I were trying to remember what the couch looked like. He keeps saying "we had a couch in the villa?" Then I realized each time we've stayed at the villas we've had 3 6ft teenage boys draped over the couch. I don't think I ever saw the upholstery.

I think it's either time for my trip to hurry up or I'm going to have to start popping some Gingko Biloba.

I would have to pick the couch.

 

[blossomz]

Ok..if I must pick...I pick the sofa! I don't mind the checkered chair! Besides you can always bring along some checkers to pass the time!

You know, it's funny but individually they all are probably not what I would pick out for furniture/rug decor. But when we're there, I don't ever recall thinking "My gosh, that couch/chair/carpet is ugly!".

Somehow, they do seem to go together and the sum is definitely better than the individual parts.

I think that's what Deb (50YT) was saying.

And you know there really aren't any "wars" to be fought at VWL...


....unless you're trying to get a chair by the main pool during the summer!

It's funny Granny. I look at that entire (mess) decoration scheme at VWL and think to myself 'if they weren't all together in the same room it wouldn't be so bad'.

PS I think the couch is winning!!


Replace the couch at VWL (and the rug while you're at it)

Im with you WD(but the chair could go )

 

[betsywdw]

My DD has a particular fondness for the chair! She makes a break for it anytime someone gets up

 

[blossomz]

But somehow...that mess of mixed colors and checks...all end up making our lodge so charming!! So I guess we should be careful what we wish for...it could suddenly get worse!

Betsy....too cute of a picture!

Honestly, I don't think any Groupie is really offended by any aspect of the decor. We are just passing some time talking about our favorite place on some long winter days.

Besides, I always figured VWL looks like a bachelor decorated it based on furniture his newly married buddies suddenly had to get rid of.

We're just havin' some fun..I still say part of the charm is the bad decorating!

I have always wondered about the chair...wondered if I was imagining it. Usually it's covered with stuff from the DGC and I don't really see it.Thank heavens!

Oh Granny. You do have such a way with words. Yes, Betsy, your daughter sure is a cutie and yes, I am passing time wishing I was there with that living room decor! I think I would be sad if someday I walked in and there was a designer couch sitting there on some beautiful sculpted rug with a chair that matched! The decor is supposed to be mis-matched, like a summer camp (very fond childhood memories of an aunt's lake house).

Right there with ya!

 

[wildernessDad]

It's those railroad people that decorated it. They have no fashion sense, I think.

{headslap} Ah! That explains everything!! Thanks.

Hey easy not all railroad people have bad taste.

All Aboard!

vwl was totally unknow to us at the first visit there. we fell in love with the resort immediatly. the longer we stayed the more we loved it. as someone else wrote earlier in this thread, vwl reached out to my soul. we felt at home there and therefore we have made a small purchase of vwl pts. to add to our other collections of homes.

You are clearly a kindred spirit to the Groupies! Feel free to drop in any time and share your thoughts, remembrances and such about our favorite place. Rest assured that you really are among people who understand you!
