gays, grays and glazing (pottery, of course)
the nytimes' travel section takes on the parker palm springs and jonathan adler's kitschy/cool aesthetic. ah, the memories. staying there last labor day weekend there to celebrate jess' birthday, we spent most our time planning where to sit next - should we sit by the indoor round gas fireplace?
near the suit of armor by the zebra rug?
on the couches near the bar?
you can see the difficulty in deciding which nook and cranny to park our asses in. the nytimes actually captures the parker's aesthetic quite nicely:
The result is not so much a hippy-chic makeover, as it is a kind of dandy Betty Ford clinic for those who overdosed on the W Hotel's much-copied sleek and minimalist vibe. The resort's particular brand of tongue in cheek is not for everyone.but it was for us. and jess and H recently gave me this very thoughtful housewarming gift - which now occupies a place of honor on the coffee table and brings a smile to anyone who thumbs through it.
