Everything is coming up Modern.  Today begins 10 days of the celebration of Modernism here in Palm Springs with the 12th Annual Modernism Week.

While just down the road a piece, the  Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has been exhibiting California Design:  Living in a Modern Way, showcasing an extensive presentation of California living.

If you never have had the chance to peer through the plate glass windows of the iconic Eames House in Pacific Palisades, don’t miss your chance.  The living room has been recreated inside the museum as it was left after Ray’s death in 1988.

What I have always loved about Southern California Modernism is its optimism. How can you not be happy, as the morning sun streams through sliding glass windows.

That’s the way I like to begin my day.
