Riviera Hotel Palm Springs

Many of us desert rats fantasize about the fabled Riviera Hotel here in Palm Springs. Opened in 1959, it's been through several versions - when new (by Las Vegas' Homer Rissman), a Hollywood Regency style in the early 80s, and an utterly neutral could-be-anywhere vibe in the present day. It was even a Margaritaville property for a while! To my eye, none of them lived up to our visions, so I've had a daydream.

Hosting season means more long conversations around the kitchen table, and the art around you becomes part of those moments. If you're rethinking your gathering spaces this year, "School for the New Music 1986" is worth a look.

Hosting season is basically here. I always wonder what people notice first when they walk into a house, the artwork on the walls, the way the room is arranged, or the smell of dinner or a candle.

What little detail always hits you first and lasts longest?

Artwork is my answer.

Today's feature is "Tramway Gas Station 1965".

From my collection, this is: "The Kids' Office 1962"

Shop At: https://www.robedleywelborn.com

In 1960 master architect E. Stewart Williams used the famous/notorious International Style for this administrative office building in Palm Springs. That's unusual for him and unusual for Palm Springs - Desert Modernism is different from mainstream Modernism.

Prominent steel dogleg I-beams on the primary elevation project from the building toward the street and support the flat roof. Aluminum-framed windows are recessed beneath the roof’s deep overhangs. A non-structural concrete block wall extends south of the building displaying the building's name in a modern metal typeface.

After the mid-60s Williams switched to the new Brutalism style for his public buildings, so this one is a rarity.

The dining room gets more attention in November than it does all year. Long meals deserve something worth looking at.

A practical note for anyone hosting: art above a sideboard or buffet should be about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it, with six to ten inches of space between the two.

That proportion makes a room feel settled instead of accidental.

Would "Opera in L.A. 1963" earn a spot at your table?

One of the last slow weekends before November speeds everything up is here.

What's on the docket? My wish for you is no errands, no rush, just a fun, cozy, or spooky weekend, as you prefer.

You're looking at "Academy Theater 1939" today, which is available in the online gallery.

I want to know what makes you pick something off the shelf and take it home forever. How about with art? Have you identified something that makes art resonate with you, or is it just a spark you can't explain?

Tell me your answer; I'll tell you mine.

"Fin Fun 1956" is today's feature.

Longer evenings are good for slowing down with something worth looking at. Might I suggest "Tyuonyi Bandelier" as you take a beat?

Bacardi Moved to Miami 1963

In the thirteenth century, al-Anadalus Seville started emulating Moroccan zellige mosaic tile art. Eventually the style grew to clad much of Latin America. In the early 60s rum maker Bacardi had to flee Cuba. Cuban architect Enrique Guiterrez designed them a new headquarters building in Midtown Miami. Brazilian cermaic artist Francisco Brennand clad its end walls with blue and white tiles.

The results gave us all a big smile and gifted Miami with an icon that elevated it into the company of the world's most glamorous cities!

Quick fall reminder: clearing one shelf or one wall now makes the whole house easier to decorate once the holidays actually hit. What are you making room for this year?

Would "West Hollywood 1959" make a good holiday conversation piece?
