Palm Springs and Mid Century Modernism

Palm Springs is the home of midcentury style. And the pinnacle of Mid century modern style is in fact an English country estate, reimagined for the American desert….what I am referring to is the home called Sunnylands. Designed by Quincy A Jones, and interiors by William Haines, this masterpiece is a have to see!

It is impeccably restored, and tells the story of design of that era. The furnishings, the colors celadon and peachy peach, the indoor outdoor feel and basically teaches a good lesson on how to live right in the desert.

I particularly was entranced with how the Architecture of this home is as Contemporary as todays homes. In fact, it is where true Modernism started in many ways.

The furnishings are are very Mid Century Modern.
