Mid-Century Mecca

A few months ago my brother and his wife invited us to share a house with them in Palm Springs.  I thought people might enjoy a sneak peek, especially considering the current popularity of mid-century modern decor.

The house is in the Movie Colony Neighborhood of Palm Springs, "where the stars lived and played!"

Come on in and take a peek.  (I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.)  Here's the street:

And the house...

The view when you walk in:

Let's check out that seating a little closer, shall we?

Seating for 22 around a fire pit?  Don't mind if I do..

Perhaps someone can make me a drink at the bar cart?

Or a snack in the kitchen.  (Love the stone wall...)

The pool is kidney-shaped (natch!)

And a fine selection of mid-century reading material is available:

Fun touches abound, like the black tile in this bathroom:

The mirror frame and vanity in this one:

The sunken shower in this one:

And the faux mother-of--pearl blinds pictured here (close-up below):

And if all this weren't enough to quench a girl's thirst for 1950's decor, we happen to be here smack in the middle of this!  (One of their double-decker tour buses drove past the house earlier.)

I'll definitely keep you posted on all of my fun discoveries!
