Marvelous Monte Carlo

In November, Barbara traveled with the Leaders of Design Council to Monte Carlo for a multifaceted program and inspiring experience in a place of renowned beauty. After years of limited travel, it was a joy to connect with peers for professional development within the design community.

A group of about 30 adults, dressed in smart casual clothing, stand smiling on stone steps and cobblestones in front of a beige building with a large doorway and coat of arms above it. The mood is friendly and the setting appears formal and outdoors.
A grand historic building with ornate architecture sits atop a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean, surrounded by lush greenery. Behind it, a dense cityscape of multistory buildings rises up against forested hills under a clear blue sky.

Ornate wooden ceiling with gold trim, featuring painted panels of sky and sailing ships. Crystal chandeliers hang below. The walls are decorated with blue wallpaper and gold accents. Tall windows and carved wooden moldings frame the room.
