p.s. i love you.
hi! wish you were here! i am in sunny palm springs, california, enjoying a mid-century modernist’s dream come true. i’m in town for modernism week, and visiting my friend casey’s incredible home, designed by architect william krisel. the home is located in the stylish racquet club estates community, an enclave of modernist homes like her krisel home, as well as architects meiselman and wexler. i’ve taken lots of pics, so i thought i’d share some of the amazing homes that i’ve seen, and some glimpses into casey’s interiors (as well as some groovy green shoes i picked up at a funky thrift store!).
i love love love love everything! my goodness. and the shoes! victoria, wow!
I love your green shoes!!
fabulous find, those shoes and amazing images.
v. cool! jules
…..(sighing in awe)
thanks for posting.
those shoes kick ass–sweet score!!!
oh this looks like heaven! All that sunshine and gorgeousness!
oh your shoes! it’s what i imagine an edgy fashion-forward pilgrim would’ve worn under her frock. gorgeous.
(as are the rest of the photos!!!)
lucky you!!
Such beautiful pictures. I especially love the paintings. Do you happen to know who the artist is?
Beautiful. I think I could handle that type of landscaping. Minimalist? Looks managable!
I love this home so much!
It is divine!!!!
and your green shoes are very cute!
Decadent. I’ll be over in 24 hours.
Oh yes, what a dream! That modernist week sounds like my kind of week… Enjoy!
I love the color, look and feel of these photos
The homes are beautiful but the shoes are fabulous!
I love palm springs; and these photos!
I dig the sculptural plants and painted portraits. Those shoes are slammin too.
Love, Love, Love… it is all too much (especially when my view is only of piles of snow.)Even though I am incredibly jealous, please keep them coming!
love it! amazing pics!!
You have the greatest eye for modern architecture and framing photos in a nostalgic way. I’m always impressed. I love seeing how you see the world. It might be time to put Palm Springs on my list of places to visit, wouldn’t you agree?
that was a big tease victoria! i want to see more!
How funny, I’m from the Palm Springs area and have never heard of Modernism Week. Sounds great! Your photos are great, you really found some great spots in Palm Springs. What thrift store did you get the shoes from?
very jealous.
great photography, it’s like you’ve literally transported yourself to the 50s.
gahhh.
WOWZA! Great photographs!!! Looks like you’re having a blast!
So beautiful! I will be dreaming about those green shoes tonight!
ok, fine. I’m going to have to visit p.s. now {gorgeous photos!}
OOOH! Love all the blues & whites…
I absolutely love this house! I am usually not a modernist lover but wow… this is awesome, with an atmosphere so… american!
WHO’S THE ARTIST BEHIND THE PORTRAITS???
GREAT post as always!

WOW! This looks and sounds like the best time ever! I hope you enjoy! :)
Those shoes are ‘bannanas!’ as rachel zoe would say. please think about selling that print in your etsy shop – I would buy it in a heartbeat!
Looks like a great place to live! I love straight lines and simple, white architecture! :)
thanks all!! it’s been super swell here!
i got the shoes at a place called ‘resale therapy’ – a crazy little shop that could be its own reality show.
the portraits paintings are by an artist named James McAdory, scored by casey on ebay from a stack of canvases found in an attic.
LOVE THAT CAR!!!! broom broom!
Those shoes are fab!!!
Love it. Cute shoes!

I love the shade of green of that scarf that is draped over that chair. Perfect for the winter over dark coats and in the spring/summer nights over a white tee or tank. Lucky you to be in such gorgeous surroundings!

Wow, wow, wow..
Great details, great pictures!
I think I like my houses a bit more vintage. But the shot of the car was superb!
I’m Casey’s cousin from Florida and I love the pictures you’ve taken of her house and architctural features-including your own features. I’m a custom home builder at the beach who loves details of homes where ever I go. Nice work.
Hey there! Did you happen to see any E. Stewart Williams’ homes? He’s my grandfather :) and was a brilliant architect. Woot!
erika – yes – i think we saw a few of his buildings! how cool! :)
those shoes truly are “fabulous” … amazing photos!
the green shoes are simply divine….
wow. gorgeous. I LOVED the photos of the shoes and the one of the oranges.
Hi Victoria, that’s great! I just read that there was a tour of Twin Palms (Frank Sinatra’s pad) that he designed. We were so bummed to not make the trip this year! Hope you had a blast…I LOOOOOVE good ‘ole P.S. (And your fabulous shoes.)
