Palm Springs Modernism Show + Trina Turk Lecture

The Palm Springs Modernism Week is in full swing here in the desert. Modernism, has many events, lectures, and the Show which showcases some of the best mid century furniture and art in  the country.
Modernism Week February 17 -27.Although, the Show ends today, this week is filled with more events and a Vintage Trailer show is next weekend.

I attended a lecture given by Trina Turk. She is well known for her colorful graphics she designs and produces clothing, home accessories,and jewelery . Her collections reflect the relaxed, retro, mid century California vibe. Her story is truly inspiring about how she followed her heart and passion, to

create the mega brand, Tina Turk.

Sunshine Yellow Thrift Store Finds

This is the yellow chair that started it all. I began decorating this guest room with a clean slate, another words I had zero furnishings, artwork or accessories. I had no idea where to start until I fell crazy in love with the yellow tufted club chair, I was lucky to buy it at an Estate sale in Palm Desert for $50.00. All of the artwork I was found at local thrift shops very reasonably.

The yellow lamps were purchased at separate thrift stores and I added lampshade from Crate and Barrel and a bright yellow finial purchased on line.Total cost for BOTH $100 (including 50.00 for the lampshade) Still extremely reasonable. This room is a work in progress. I may re- upholster the headboard in a crazy really bright retro fabric. Should I paint the walls ??
Cheers from Sunny California,
