Home of the Day: Original hipster pad in Palm Springs
In 1969, Nixon became president, Neil Armstrong took a giant leap for mankind and the owners of this groovy home in Palm Springs decorated their space in the high-spirited style of the era. The desert digs haven’t been changed since.
When the home sold, the second set of owners preserved the wood paneling, shag carpeting, Zsa Zsa Gabor-style dressing room, centerpiece tub, swagged chandeliers, vintage Moire wallpaper and authentic furnishings — all of which remain today. Yeah, baby.
