PAUL BATES AND JEREMY CORKERN ~ KITCHEN DESIGN IN BIRMINGHAM

This beautiful Birmingham, Alabama kitchen was designed by architect Paul Bates and partner Jeremy Corkern. The three-inch thick marble island top, the La Cornue range, and the limed wood in this kitchen are to die for, and the butler’s pantry is perfect! ENJOY!

TIMOTHY HAYNES AND KEVIN ROBERTS ~ DESIGN ON FIFTH AVENUE

I have seen many fabulous and extravagantly decorated homes over the years, but this Fifth Avenue apartment may lead the pack.  Mirrored glass moldings, curtains with amethyst and metal beads embroidered into them, a metallic pink toilet, a black lacquer and stainless steel painted front door, leather, marble, and cashmere walls, and a furniture and art collection that is out of this world. Just a few of the luxuries that interior designers Timothy Hayes and Kevin Roberts, and architect Oscar Shamamian imparted on this Fifth Avenue apartment that overlooks Central Park.

The couple gave the designers three years to complete the renovation and design, wanting something stunning, yet livable for the themselves and their children. In my opinion they succeeded.  ENJOY!

STEVE JOBS ~ 1955-2011

Since Apple will be honoring the life of Steve Jobs on Wednesday, I thought I would add a few thoughts of my own.  I know that my life is much easier and better because of this genius of a man.  Jobs changed the way we learn, teach, work, and play.


Around my house, you can't sit down without sharing space with an Apple device.  Our Macbook Pro, iPad, iPhone and iPod are valuable to us in our careers and education.  We had to make some choices and forego other luxuries in order to own this technology.  We are satisfied that we did.

 Macbook Pro

iPad

iPhone 4S

 iPod

I believe that the commencement speech Steve Jobs delivered at Stanford University sums up the way he thought people should live their lives.  Listen to it here.

Thank you, Steve Jobs, for all you did to make this a better and easier world to live in.
