We just made a decision to go to the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs this Thanksgiving. The place features a super mid-century architecture that used to be a Howard Johnson motor Lodge in 1965. They renovated the whole buildings but it still remain beautiful.
This is an amazing dining area with lots Eames chairs. I am so excited!! More information for the Ace Hotel is here.
I recently ran into this article where a couple from Portland totally restored a midcentury home by hand. From the furnitures to the tasteful selections of textures and color, I’d say that this is a wonderful accomplishment. I can imagine how much fun it was for them to work on something like this. Definitely on my dream to-do list.

The “Hang It All” rack is my very first item from the Eames collections. I still remember the time when I bought this at Modernica in SOHO, New York in 1997. It is now selling for around $200 but back in the 90′s, it was only $89!
“The Hang It All rack was designed by Eames in 1953 and is produced by Herman Miller. Charles and Ray Eames brought a sense of play to all their work, including the Hang-It-All which is a modern coat rack. The Eames Hang It All took the everyday coat rack to a new place that was inventive, eye-catching and fun. More than just a conversation piece, the Hang-It-All holds anything that slips over its colorful hooks. The solid maple balls are painted in nine bright colors. The frame is made from white powder-coated welded steel. This is a very practical rack. This modern rack holds hats, umbrellas, robes, jackets, scarves, skates, backpacks, and more.”
