Design Process
The discussion of the set for Other Desert Cities began with Margarett Perry's comment on the Wyeth family, "this family is stain-free" To create this stain-free environment, the Palm Springs mid-century modern house needed to be pristine and perfect. The Wyeth family has lived in the proverbially glass house while they have maintained their Hollywood silver screen elite status. Polly and Lyman Wyeth project a rock solid appearance to the world.
The set reflects the Wyeth family by juxtaposing the large windows that look out to desert life with ledgestone walls. The interior of the house is perfect with white carpeting and carefully chosen decorations to create the sterile environment
