Open House Sunday

Pink Adobe
Or actually Pink Stucco....this wonderful Spanish Colonial once belonged to 
Clark Gable and Carole Lombard.
It was built in 1925 in Palm Springs.
Isn't it a romantic place?
I love the row of blue pots full of pink flowers.
 The grounds are so beautifully manicured.
This is how old Hollywood lived.
Inside you can just imagine Clark and Carole feeling very comfortable in this place.
It's masculine and feminine.
I love the spanish tile details throughout. I love everything about this room
except the tv over the fireplace. And that sectional is a bit unfortunate.
The cross timbers are amazing in the room.
Look at the bush that lights up outdoors. If you look at the first photo in this grouping...you'll see it's 
actually a metal sculpture in the garden. 
Love the big arched doorways. I know where you can get those chairs with and without arms.
The kitchen is very rustic...isn't it? I'm afraid I'd just have to paint those cabinets but I love
the fun tile.
I can just imagine Clark's hat hanging by the back door on the wall, can't you?
Here's a great room to relax in for the movie buff.
Another great fireplace.
One of several nice big beds to sleep in. 
 More Spanish tile.
I doubt this tile is original.
 That's a rustic bed for sure.
Of course there is a billiard room. 
 I'd pick this bedroom if staying here.
More tile! 
Let's look at the garden once again...see that metal tree? That is the one we 
saw all lit up from inside.

All of this can be your's see the full listing here.

Open House Sunday

Spanish Colonial
in California
built 1926
Oh...my I am crazy for the flowering vines over the doorway on this home.
I think it is climbing roses...but it might be bougainvillea.
First through the door you find this fun wallpaper.
That's a surprise!
I love how the ottoman in the next room plays off the colors in the wallpaper.
I love this ottoman and the red octagonal table next to the sofa.
Wish we could see more of that green credenza.
Fun retro furniture in this room including the bar cart.
Nice black and white kitchen. I like the island but it seems a bit traditional for this house.
Fun striped shades almost look like awnings.
Is that two dishwashers and a triple sink?
I don't think I've ever seen a triple sink.
Very cute banquet. 
And I love the artwork. Yes, I'll try a Twinkle Soda!
Appears to be a butler's pantry off this area. Look at that window high up! 
Very pretty.
This room needs some better arranging but I love that rug.
And I always go for a venetian mirror in a bathroom. Always
Pretty, simple, tasteful bedroom.  What a calm place to sleep.
Any little girl would love this room.
And any grown up would love this bathroom. 
I like those built in glass shelves.
But the veranda is where I'd be all the time. This is so wonderful.
Very nice backyard with a very cute garage.
I could live here...that is for sure.
