Homeowner: JAMIE NELSON

Occupation: photographer

Home Location: Los Angeles

Jamie is a wild-child at heart who isn’t ashamed to rock Farrah Fawcett curls, glitter eye-liner or keep a drawer of Speedo’s for unexpected pool party guests. She’s a self-made woman whose home is an extension of her personality and sense of style. Jamie and her house are both bold, loud, unapologetic, kitschy, sexy, cool and most of all: FUN! It all started growing up around motorcycles and 1970’s glamour (hence the framed Burt Reynolds in the bathroom.) As a child from humble beginnings she yearned for what was presented (at the time) as chic and sophisticated, but what is now considered vintage and to some “kistchy.” When she bought her Palm Springs pad she wanted the exterior to be pink and the over-the-top aesthetic snowballed from there. Now, the place is an homage to all things 70’, vintage and retro-posh. It has nods to her edgy motorcycle roots, Graceland, motorcycle clubs, as well as elements that showcase her hyper feminine side. She even has a red bedroom with a massage bed and a heart-shaped jacuzzi tub! Other noteworthy spaces are her “far-out” space-age office, a Jane Fonda inspired retro gym and a Jane Mansfield pink, shag bathroom. It’s one wow-worthy space after the other!

The greatest thing? It’s all HER! She created this home through trial and error, through her own DIY and sourcing skills. It’s not only her creative vision, but she’s invested sweat equity to create the space of her dreams. It’s important that her home is a FUN, interactive and inclusive space. She wants people to touch the walls! Get in that pool! Listen to the 8-track! This home is meant to be shared and enjoyed…it’s not a museum! Jamie’s incredible home is a testament to hustle, hard-work, determination and following the rhythm of one’s own, little glam drummer.

• One of the coolest rooms is a living space that guests can roller skate in!

• Another prized feature is a bed that actually spins!

• Backyard is a pink oasis with a pink playboy bunny shaped stone path, pink heart swing, and rose gardens.

• The pink home’s exterior is decorated with Alice in Wonderland style heart hedges and 2 stone lions overlooking the street. Parked out front is Jamie’s iconic pink 60s mustang.

• The “jungle room” is adorned with an all-green round bed, vines hanging from the ceiling, green snakeskin walls, and a snake door handle. To solidify the jungle theme, there is a jaguar head hanging alongside the bed and a jaguar shaped phone.

• The bubblegum pink master bedroom is over-the-top with its décor. It has a fully mirrored ceiling, hanging cupid over the bed, a carousel horse, and pink playboy bunny artifacts all around. Connected is the pink bathroom covered floor to ceiling in pink faux fur.

• The second bedroom is bright cherry red with a round massaging bed and custom red bear rug. There is a ceiling mirror hanging above the bed and the room is covered in vintage Playboy magazines from the 70s.

• The 14,000 sq foot home is the perfect place to party and often hosts an eclectic group of guests. The owner describes her parties as guys and girls wearing kimonos spinning on the bed singing to “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” people roller skating in the next room, someone’s always dancing near the jukebox in the kitchen!
