When designer<\/strong>\u00a0Claire Thomas tackles a new space, she always starts with a one thing: a story specific to the home. To see the true power of this design philosophy, one has to look no further than any of Thomas\u2019s finished designs<\/strong>.<\/a> Take, for instance,\u00a0The Highball House, a vacation home located in Palm Springs, CA, that Thomas recently designed alongside the house\u2019s owners, comedians\u00a0Mamrie Hart\u00a0and\u00a0Grace Helbig. Let\u2019s step into this Palm Springs home<\/strong> <\/em><\/span><\/a>and take a look at the stunning interior design!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe story for Highball was: 1967 Pan am flight to Morocco and Barbara Eden is your flight attendant,\u201d she explains. \u201cI\u2019ve been obsessed with \u201cI Dream of Jeannie\u201d since I was a little girl, so the house is sort of like if Jeannie\u2019s bottle became a Palm Springs vacation house.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No where is that \u201cI Dream of Jeannie\u201d inspiration<\/strong><\/a> clearer than it is in the home\u2019s former walk-in closet, an area the owners now call Jeannie\u2019s bottle nap room. Hart considers the space her favorite in the whole house.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had this massive closet that was never used and Claire had the idea to reframe the door and put a day bed in then drape it with pink velvet curtains and put in a dramatic lighting fixture<\/strong>,<\/a>\u201d she explains. \u201cIt totally transformed it! Not only is it the kitschiest and dreamiest place to take pics and a snooze\u2026 it makes the room feel that much bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n

The integration of kitschy, dreamy, whimsical style is one of Helbig\u2019s favorite part of the house as well.<\/p>\n

CLAIRE THOMAS<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the Highball House conveys our sense of playful relaxation,\u201d she tells MyDomaine. \u201cThe space invites a flirtatious relief from the rest of the world. It creates a whimsical and cozy<\/strong><\/a> atmosphere that feeds the eye and rests the brain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thomas agrees that Helbig and Hart\u2019s playful personalities played a big role in the design<\/strong><\/a> process. \u201cMamrie and Grace have such fabulous personalities, senses of humor, and taste, so we wanted that to come through in their home,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

That, combined with Thomas\u2019s vision for a slightly campy, \u201960s-inspired space that still brings visitors the modern<\/strong><\/a> comforts they know and love, makes for a standout space no visitor is soon to forget.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m obsessed with the vintage oversized jacks that sit on the outdoor dining table<\/strong><\/a>. I\u2019m a sucker for novelty-sized items and those are just so playful. It sets the tone that the backyard is for cornhole, bocce ball, all of the outdoor games,\u201d Hart says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also a fan of the vintage mirrors<\/strong><\/a> that make you feel like you stepped into the past for a night out at a beautiful cocktail bar.<\/p>\n

\"Stepping<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI also adore the smoked glass backsplash for the bar and powder room<\/strong>.<\/a> I\u2019ve always loved the gold veins of vintage smoked mirrors<\/strong><\/a>, but it\u2019s so expensive,\u201d she explains. \u201cWhen we realized we could source actual vintage square feet off eBay and just slowly collect instead of splurging for a massive single piece, it was game on.\u201d<\/p>\n

That masterful pairing of vintage pieces<\/strong><\/a> with new additions further cements the home as a haven for design lovers looking for a vacation home that\u2019s equal parts relaxing and aesthetically pleasing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope visitors experience that cheerful sense of calm I feel when I\u2019m there,\u201d Helbig says. \u201cThis is a whimsical oasis meant to stimulate silly, sweet comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
