The Art & Architecture of the Casita
When Chuck and Timmi began the process of remodeling the casita in the summer of 2023 they first turned totheir friend, artist Teriegh Wilson, and commissioned an original painting that would set the tone for the casita!
They loved her paintings because they always evoke fun and happiness!
And Tereigh delivered with "Desert Love"!
You can purchase a print of Desert Love for yourself from Terieghs
website in different sizes or select an orignal painting of your own!
You can find all of Tereigh's work at www.terieghwilsonart.com @terieghwilsonart
Before . . .
The before pictures are how we found this property in August of 2018 when we stopped to look during a realtor open house. Thirty minutes later we made an offer! Several days later our realtor told us that a neighbor stopped by and commented that he wished he had bought this "Walter S. White" gem. We are still doing research, but, feel fairly certain that it is a design by mid century architect Walter S White.
The overhead light that runs through both the house and the casita was one of his signatures.
You can find many articles about Walter S White on Google!
His most famous house is the "Wave House" which is listed on the US National Register of Historic Places here in Palm Desert.
