Once again we had a short but sweet visit to our favourite Mid-Century Modern playground, Palm Springs.

Desert Star Bungalows #3 – some pictures from our favourite new bungalow:

Sunnylands – this trip we took some time to tour around the Annenberg estate called Sunnylands. Via Wikipedia: Sunnylands, the former Annenberg Estate, located in Rancho Mirage, California, is a 200-acre (0.81 km2) estate currently run by The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands, a not-for-profit organization and Annenberg family trust. The property was owned by Walter and Leonore Annenberg until 2009 and had been used as a winter retreat by the couple from 1966, when the house was completed. The property is “rich with historical significance,” according to the city of Rancho Mirage, which declared Sunnylands an historic site in 1990. Located at Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope Drives, the property has been the vacation site of numerous celebrities and public officials.

And of course there was lots of walking around Deepwell and Tahquitz Canyon Estates, checking out all of the awesome desert flora and Mid-Century architecture:
