Jeff and I Celebrated our 34th Anniversaryat the beautifulDive Palm Springs!
Located on East Palm Canyon in the historic Deepwell EstatesIt is an intimate property with 11 rooms three distinct garden areaswithin the walled courtyard.
Originally built in 1954as the Sunrise Villa apartmentsIt has been artfully restored in a manner that respects the bones of the pastwith fresh swaths of modern design sensibility!
Just walking onto the propertyyou feel embraced by the mature lush landscaping and garden areas.
It feels like the rush of a safe embracebeing secluded in such beauty.
A 15 foot bench encircles the majestic palmsthat grounds the propertyin Palm Springs history.
It's the modern furniture touchesthat bring in not only intimate gathering spacesbut so manyInstagram worthy backdrops.
And thenthe gorgeous and historic Libott Poolreveals itself!
In the 1950's Libott was the premier pool builder in Palm Springs.the entire pool bottom is covered inwhite porcelain tiles!It's a beautyespecially when in the pool!No rough concrete on your feetjust brilliant white tiles!
And of course I packed for Palm Springs!
Sometimes I pick locations for what I want to Wearsometimes I style my wardrobefor where I want to go.
This time packing was all aboutPalm Springs Glamour!
