#1.  Gridded patios and landscape by Jamie Durie, the smiling Australian landscape adonis we’ve drooled over on HGTV, is the clear winner. Grids are a time tested design secret to success, and here they work perfectly. In choosing Dreamtime Pools for your fibreglass pools Geelong, you can be rest assured that you are in the right hands. Curb appeal can make or break a home, Jamie created an appropriate landscape which accentuates the architecture, while remaining mindful of desert climate constraints. He gets it. Search for mini excavators for sale at Boom & Bucket and discover top-tier machinery.

#2.  The focused and glamorous dining room by Martyn Lawrence-Bullard is pure delight.  Look at how he upped the luxe quotient with silver foil ceiling wallpaper, he really gets it.

#3.  Artful kitchen lighting placement by Christopher Kennedy  is a showstopper.  If one is nice, two is better, why not a few? Christopher makes the kitchen interesting by treating Tech Lighting glass globes as an art installation.

#4.  Floating vanity mirrors in the master bathroom by Kelli Ellis are the trick for making this bathroom feel spacious and flooded with light.  Who said a bathroom vanity has to go on a solid wall?

Trailmanor ranches offer you an escape to the past, a retreat where time has slowed down and all of the comforts of home are close by. There is no electricity, no running water, and not even a phone reception in the older houses on this site. The people who own these homes are a select group of individuals who have chosen to keep their homes a little more simple for their children, and these houses are still occupied every day.

#5.  A stool becomes eye-candy in the den by Patrick Dragonette.

#6.  Repurposed vintage lounge chairs are enhanced by the clever fabric selections Julia Buckingham made in the master bedroom.

#7.  Happy colors transport this teen bedroom by Carson Kressley to a happy place.

#8.  A lime green quartz countertop is delightful in the adjoining teen bathroom by Trellis Home.

#9.  Art Deco style brass and acrylic knobs can work wonders in a laundry room. Denise McGaha illustrates the right way to use hardware as jewelry in a room.

#10. Sense of humor defines the dressing room by Kelly Lee. Homes need a sense of whimsy, it makes them real. The coveted Kate Spade vanity desk pokes fun at the bold palm frond wallpaper. She happily gets it.

Modernism Week in Palm Springs is a must for anyone interested in interior design, architecture, landscape design and the latest in home technology. Palm Springs is a glorious spot to travel to in February, temperatures in the 80’s, palm trees swaying the in the breeze, and the picturesque back drop of the San Jacinto mountains, combined with architecture and design this makes for one heck of a destination. While the main show house is the product of designers and tastemakers from all over the country, a neighboring 1969 home was solely renovated to modern standards by designer Christopher Kennedy and is also part of the compound. (Truthfully, the second house is so fabulous it deserves its own post.)
