TYLER FLORENCE AND LORI YEOMANS ~ KITCHEN IN ROCKEFELLER CENTER

When Tyler Florence and Lori Yeomans get together to design a kitchen, they don't settle for any less than perfection!  Ceasarstone, dark cabinets, and superior appliances make this kitchen a dream for any cook or chef.

Tyler wanted a kitchen his children could play in while he whipped up the gourmet meals that he is famous for, and I am drooling over this kitchen!  The kitchen barstools, the table with the zinc top, multi fabric chairs, and the rest of the area is family friendly.  Again, it was love at first sight for me! What do you think?  ENJOY!

See you soon,

A Sotherby's real estate broker, Royce Pinkwater called on the talented Eric Cohler and his assistant Sidney Frazier to help design the interior.  Pinkwater had rugs made especially for the apartment by Kyle Clarkson, and the furnishings are from several periods, her favorite being 1940s French pieces. The art collections are stunning to say the least.  ENJOY!

CRAIG SCHUMACHER ~ DESIGN IN DALLAS

When painter and stylist Craig Schumacher sold his 3,000 square foot home in Dallas and rented an apartment with less than 1,500 square feet, he knew that he was going to have to design his apartment in layers to accommodate his possessions.

Schumacher loves the work of several designers, but Billy Baldwin is his favorite. The result is a lovely eclectic mix with an English look.  ENJOY!
