Homesteading in Joshua Tree

As most of you know, I recently visited Joshua Tree. Mostly because my dear friend Mikel invited me to tour his home there. He bought a ramshackled metal house in the middle of the dessert. The view sold the house along with the promise of peace and quiet which is something Mikel treasures as a TV producer/developer in Los Angeles; Mikel and I met when I was filming a pilot for HGTV.The pilot never made it, but our friendship blossomed. We shot my own Bravo pilot a couple of years after meeting, and a creative bond was formed. I wanted to give you a tour of his house. Here's the cool thing: you can rent this gorgeous location through Airbnb You can also follow the home on instagram. Mikel has a quirky design sensibility. It's whimsical and retro and my favorite, irreverently kitsch.Thanks again Mikel for inviting me to your little piece of heaven, fair warning...I'll be back! xx
