Let Trumpets Sound & the Winner Is.......

The Winner of the Pillow from Anita the owner of Pillow Mint is Lisa Porter! She chose the Vintage Ornate Urvi which is so unique , really stunning! Congratulations Lisa!!

I was so fortunate to get away with a friend for a long weekend at The Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Such a fabulous time and the hotel is superb and five star. The first class service and the staff were extremely accommodating.

Mere steps from the Las Vegas Strip, the 64-story Trump Hotel Las Vegas towers gracefully above all nearby buildings with a strong golden facade reflective of the richness of the iconic Donald J. Trump hotel collection.

So Luxurious!

Stylish, classy and conveniently located, Trump Hotel Las Vegas takes comfort to the next level. The lobby is impeccably decorated with several plush places to sit and relax, including seating in the DJT bar. Personal service at the non-smoking, non-gaming property is second to none, starting at the valet and extending throughout a stay.

Rooms in the all-suite Trump Hotel feature king-sized beds with Sterns and Foster mattresses and 500 thread count Bellini sheets, European-style kitchens and appointments by Wolf, Bosch, and Sub-Zero. The luxurious Italian marble baths are outfitted with twin sinks, custom vanities, marble counter tops, spa tubs and a 14-inch television embedded in the mirror.

The Pool, spa, and Exercise rooms are incredible. None of these photos reflect the really grand luxury of the hotel.

One thing we really appreciated was that the hotel itself does not have a Casino which meant a peaceful relaxing atmosphere. Of course we were surrounded by Casinos galore nearby, although we were there to wind down and just enjoy. I do recommend the excellent Jubilee production at Bally's.

K: Anita, how did Pillow Mint come into being?

A : I was working for a university hospital and became bored, knowing I have a creative side that I wanted to explore. Looking for children's' linens, I could not find any at that time in Charlottesville that were not theme related, like sports,etc.

K: I see you have a great selection of designer accessories ranging from bedding to throws. How do you decide what designers and products to feature?

A: I started doing research on the Internet to find high quality unique, chic styles that are out of the ordinary, Designers sent me samples for my consulting business. I love fabrics. I would love to do a teenagers room makeover next!

K:What trends are you seeing in Design & Color lately?

A: Unique styles, mixing and matching of coordinating fabric patterns. Still a lot of traditional, hotel bedding styles w contrast borders.

K: What advice would you give to others who are considering going into business for themselves?

A: Have a plan, expect more start up costs than you anticipate. Be conservative,and selective in your choices. Location, location location for a storefront which I will be opening again soon!

K: Parting words:

A: Understanding that a personal touch can make a dramatic difference in the interior of your home and bedroom, I will personally work with you, in your home, to create the bedroom of your dreams.
