I just posted about my retro-1940s ironing board cover and thought you might be interested in the Michael Miller fabric collections.

Now if I only I could make it look swanky and built in... Elvis’ Honeymoon Cottage is very hip! That is definitely a party room.

Below is some information about Mr. Krisel who is still working and attends many Palm Springs modern events. Unfortunately the Alexanders, father, son, and wives, were killed in a plan crash in 1965. http://www.psmodcom.com/Architects%20Pages/PalmerKrisel/PalmerKrisel8.html Good morning Pam,
