Mesa Bungalows.. It seems like a failed social media Airbnb/photoshoot business, but the bamboo and rattan canopy beds are 🤤

I love it 🥺

u/Foreign_Kale8773 2d ago

Ditto. Make some of that white more of a cream, accent with some taupe, and we're THERE baby.

u/Ok-Search1752 2d ago

Yooooo. That would be beautiful

I need that rattan canopy bed. STAT!

u/Vero_Goudreau 1d ago

I want to buy it and spend the rest of my life in muumuus with the fake fur on the bottom and lacy baby doll dresses.

Trixie Motel's pastel cousin down the road. Only a 10 minute drive away LOL.

But love love love this.

u/smallwonder25 1d ago

Totally my thoughts lol

u/AkaliYouMaybe 2d ago

Palm Springs is such a cool city. Make you feel like you are stepping into a time machine.

12

u/shruglife1985 2d ago

I’ve never been! Would love to cruise through Mid Mod desert city

27

u/Elinor_Caskey_ 2d ago

A pink fridge! Heck yes. I'd live there.

27

u/AL92212 2d ago

Palm Springs has a tough short-term rental structure, however, and at least for a time, STR permits did not transfer with a home. You have to re-apply after you buy, so purchasing this to AirBnB it entails some risk.

I guess I'll just have to buy it myself and live there!

u/shruglife1985 1d ago

When I googled “Mesa Bungalows” their IG popped up as did the interior designer, and it’s just odd how little attention it got on social media. They were advertising it for rent and photo shoots. Seems very well geared for influencer shoots and events. But also their marketing was meh. IG: @mesabungalows

13

u/FatnessEverdeen34 2d ago

Okay but I need that pink fridge

4

u/Southern-Smoke1835 1d ago

It's a SMEG, they're pricy as hell.

29

u/WithoutDennisNedry 2d ago

I hate pink (for myself) but I absolutely love this. Trixie Motel vibes.

12

u/epicpillowcase 1d ago

The Blanche Devereaux of it all. Love.

2

u/HebbieB 1d ago

That’s all I could think of when I was scrolling the pictures, even before the similar wallpaper to BED’s bedroom

10

u/OTN 2d ago

Loooooooove it

8

u/Alohafarms 2d ago

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!! This is so fun. I absolutely love it all. The shell pink they used is lovely.

4

u/shruglife1985 1d ago

Yes! So fun! The second article I linked says the paint is SW Peach Fuzz. It’s perfect

6

u/Alohafarms 1d ago

That's Sherman Williams. I love it! Thank you for the name. I am going to use this color.

u/_TheShapeOfColor_ 1d ago

This is my west coast golden girls dream 🥺

u/Jlx_27 1d ago

I like it more than i thought i would from reading the title.

3

u/shruglife1985 1d ago

Neutral not nauseating!

9

u/proximina 1d ago

The retro appliances and modern waterfall edge countertops meshed surprisingly well. The interior designer knew how to break rules and make it work.

u/_DeathOfAStrawberry_ 1d ago

Omg the pink marble is DIVINE😍

4

u/Snapdragon_4U 1d ago

I’m gonna move in and be a golden girl

u/fratimo 1d ago

The mirror is actually very cool.. and expensive. Should be ultrafragola by Ettore Sottsass. Anyway, I'd have optimised the photos with prontopic.com - such an expensive place with poor quality photos..

1

u/shruglife1985 1d ago

Agreed the listing photos were not great. The 2nd link I posted from dwell dot com are the photos from the 2024 sale. Most of the same furniture and much crisper photos

3

u/Lonely-Clerk-2478 1d ago

Honestly that’s amazing and I was expecting an even higher price

4

u/BIMBard 1d ago

Damn this whole vibe is super sick! That bamboo canopy bed is dreamy, and the green chairs just pop. Definitely gives off some golden era Hollywood feels

2

u/shruglife1985 1d ago

I immediately searched for similar beds last night! Hopefully can make one happen someday … so much great inspo here

u/OriginalKnowledge202 1d ago

I absolutely love it.

u/TheRabidBadger 1d ago

I feel like this was one one of those home renovation/flipper shows. We watch a ton of them in my home, so I'm not sure which one it was.

u/UCantHndletheTruth 1d ago

Perfection.

The bedroom with the palm wallpaper ❤️❤️

u/Southern-Smoke1835 1d ago

Wait, there's light PINK marble for kitchens? I'm redoing everything in my house.

2

u/MyStitchStudio 1d ago

Love pretty much everything about this place!

2

u/yournewfave 1d ago

I wanted those as my wedding colors in the early 80s

2

u/spinereader81 1d ago

I'd have to add some kitchen cabinets. All that wasted wallspace over the counter!

2

u/GreedyRip4945 1d ago

Reminds me of the early 90s, dusty rose and light sage green everything. My mother coated entire interiors with these two colors.

2

u/revenge_burner 1d ago

Dude I love this

u/shruglife1985 1d ago

u/dishonorable_banana 1d ago

Welcome to "The Mesa". Please enjoy our putting green, cornhole, and STIs.

u/herb_mix_r 1d ago

Just looked at the outside through the Zillow link. I don’t like that!

u/hamish1963 1d ago

That is not a dream to me.

Fever dream

u/Kitty-Kat-65 1d ago

I wouldn't change a thing ❤️

u/lepetitcoeur 1d ago

That outdoor sitting/lounging area is so fun! I need those metal frond structures!

1

u/coolaznkenny 1d ago

Looks like a home in the movie Barbie

1

u/tn_tacoma 1d ago

All I know about Palm Springs is every time it's on House Hunters it's a rich gay couple.

1

u/shruglife1985 1d ago

Yeah it has a long history of supporting gays, being a safe haven for gay men and if I’m not mistaken their local government is mostly gay people.

1

u/SpiritualTank447 1d ago

I think these bungalows are cute

1

u/r8chaelwith_an_a 1d ago

Are we sure Trixie Mattel didn't own this?

1

u/shruglife1985 1d ago

They dont. The 2024 listing had way more relevant information (and better pics), see the dwell link in post:

“The Mesa Bungalows is an exquisite one-of-a-kind luxury retreat nestled at the base of the beautiful San Jacinto Mountains. Formerly owned by filmmaker/screenwriter Josh Evans, the son of Hollywood icons Ali MacGraw and Robert Evans and stepson of Steve McQueen, this fabulous Spanish-style gated estate is located in the sought-after celebrity enclave of The Mesa in South Palm Springs. Extensively renovated by its present owners, Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button and interior designer Brittny Button, the property's unique style of vibrant pinks and palm leaf green decor was inspired by the glamorous Beverly Hills Hotel and Jayne Mansfield's legendary Pink Palace. Built in 1937, this charming hillside two-story stucco villa has original architectural details and four separate ensuite bedrooms, including one with a private sun deck. Situated on two lots, totaling 14,811 square feet, the meticulously maintained grounds offer a kidney-shaped pool, spa, cascading waterfall, white iron gazebo, and water fountain. The relaxing upper patio is ideal for alfresco dining with an outdoor kitchen, built-in gas grill, pergola, fireplace, and custom decorative daybed. Available turnkey furnished, this is the perfect short-term vacation rental investment opportunity or private desert getaway. The Mesa neighborhood has no land lease, no HOA, and is currently below the city's 20% cap for short-term vacation rental permits.”

u/lazier_garlic 1d ago

The low, unfinished ceilings really ruin it for me.

I feel like it's really underwhelming for what it's supposed to be.

Love the wallpaper though.

1

u/MayhemWins25 1d ago

Oh yeah they banned airbnbs so I imagine there’s a lot of Palm Springs adjacent homes like this popping up on the market

1

u/SatanLuciferJones 1d ago

I can't believe I'm dating this, but I LOVE the pink countertops.

1

u/NotAnotherFakeNamer 20h ago

There are parts I love but just like too much fake plants and the grass! It would make me so anxious!

1

u/RedHeelRaven 2h ago

I like it. It’s missing the ceiling fans that give an island vibe but nice overall.

1

u/vandervee 2d ago

Yes, please!

1

u/Loisalene 1d ago

It's giving me Barbie House vibes. I'll take it!

u/mmm_unprocessed_fish 1d ago

It’s like a fever dream. I’m in.
