Behati Prinsloo is in the midst of a lot of life achievements. She recently had her first child, she just landed a major beauty campaign, and now she and husband Adam Levine have a new home. The pair just dropped $18 million on a Holmby Hills mansion, as Trulia reports, and it is as lavish as West Coast living gets. For starters, the home comes with a coveted pedigree: It was designed by famed architect Casper Ehmcke in 1966 and has all the touchstones of quintessential indoor/outdoor living. There's also the fact that the home has not one but two marble master bedrooms, a rarity.

The property welcomes in guests through a gate, where they arrive at a long walkway into the home, outlined by classic Hollywood palm fronds and tropical landscaping. The black- and white-checkered foyer is illuminated by a crystal chandelier a feature that's repeated in the living room as well as the dining room.

With glass doors that open into the backyard, Behati and Levine's living room is centered around a fireplace. Naturally, it houses enough space for a grand piano, which the musician will no doubt get a lot of mileage from.

Meanwhile, the 9200-square foot home has plenty of room for the growing family which includes the recent addition of baby Dusty Rose. "I have a daughter, I have the most beautiful wife in the entire world," The Voice host said of his family as he was receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame back in February, as Us Weekly reported. "[Dusty's] unbelievable. Im so in love with her. Its crazy." Aside from having two master bedrooms, the home also features another three bedrooms and bathrooms.

Plus, there's plenty of room for dining as well. In addition to a formal dining room, the estate also boasts a breakfast solarium.

The social couple will have no problems entertaining as Behati and Levine's new home comes equipped with a two-story guest house, a three-car garage, and ample parking on a motor court.

But the crown jewel of the $18 million home has to be the custom-shaped pool, which is fenced in with lush landscaping.

Kitchen islands are command central. Playing host to everything from homework to happy hour, islands are often the most popular spot in the house as well as a stunning showcase of style.

It used to be that islands played an important role in allowing homeowners to gain more countertop for cooking, but its really taken on a whole new life in todays kitchen, said Stephanie Pierce, director of design and trends for MasterBrand Cabinets, its more about creating a focal point within the space for social and family interaction, in addition to the food prep.

Designer Denise Bosley, owner of Denise Bosley Interiors in Sierra Madre said, If homeowners can fit an island, they will have an island.

In many cases, the bigger the better.

The popularity of open floor plans has resulted in larger islands that serve as a kitchen workhorse, Grand Central for socializing and a piece of custom furniture that connects spaces and creates flow.

If an oversized island is on the wish list, however, Bosley advises clients to think it through. You have to consider things like the type of stone you want to use, said Bosley, if you do want a really large island youre going to have seams and some people dont like that.

Bosley said one 11-foot island she installed required a seam down the center to merge two slabs. You dont see it in pictures, and it becomes an afterthought then you build this big island and think, oh, boy.

Paul LEsperance, co-owner of LEsperance Design in West Hollywood said when it comes to countertops, his clients are requesting Neolith, an ultra-compact surface material manufactured by combining raw materials found in glass, porcelain and quartz under extreme heat and intense pressure.

Everybody wants the beauty of Calcutta marble, said LEsperance, but they dont want the upkeep this is selling like crazy.

Bosley agreed. People want marble, but they know its not practical for most family kitchens, she said, weve been using a lot of quartz, and a lot of new [manufactured] materials coming out that look like marble.

Upgraded islands also boast bigger sinks. Its not just a small prep sink anymore, said Bosley. People are using them to wash dishes and share during prep.

Divided sinks are out too, LEsperance said: Everybody wants the big trough, farm sinks in stainless steel or enamel.

The biggest news in islands, however, is color.

The island is a great opportunity to provide some personality with color or warmth with wood tones, so we are seeing islands being utilized a lot as an accent element.

Everybody wants to paint their cabinets right now, said LEsperance. Theres a little bit of a revolt from white so the first project people jump on is an island because its not like redoing all the cabinets.

Well do white perimeter cabinets, said Bosley, and color on the island. Navy blues, beachy shades and bold greens and blues are trending.

Blue is definitely the number one pick for kitchen accent colors this year, said Pierce, and its all shades.

Hague Blue from Farrow and Ball is beautiful, said LEsperance, you know with [inspiration from the] islands, people can go a little more wild.

For your design inspiration, we pored over our photo archives for some of our favorite kitchen islands. Enjoy!

Is your sidewalk a hazard? Has your driveway seen better days? Cracks in concrete happen over time, and they're sometimes difficult to troubleshoot, especially if the problem is due to a tree root or uneven ground.

During this hour ofTalk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe talks with home improvement expert Bill McAnally about concrete, asphalt and other paving solutions for your driveway, sidewalk, patio or paving project.

McAnally says that it's important to think about how paving connects to stairs, as tripping hazards are a real problem for some people when they try to fix cracks.

"A lot of times what people dont look at is that when our sidewalks and driveways butt up against the house, they lead to steps. If you step off your steps and you are going nine inches instead of seven, or five instead of seven, youre going to either jar your back or trip. You may get used to it, but visitors might not. You have to think, 'What will this affect?'"

McAnally also answers listener questions during the show.

Its been nearly ten years since the start of the great recession the recession that wiped out many a home builder. Not Peter B. Rotelle, who leads his familys business, Rotelle Development Co.

We revamped ourselves, I think, to take a step towards a more conservative business model in a risky business already, Rotelle said during our Executive Q&A interview published in the Sunday business section of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

I guess I can say it this way. Ive always been conservative in business. Im in a risky business, land developer and home building. So, my business demeanor has always been very conservative, because Ive always hedged against the down market. So, we made it through 2008 and we paid every bill. It wasnt peaches and cream, but we made it through, kept staff and we did it.

Gosh, I would say a tremendous amount of conservative decisions in a half a decade prior to 2008, not getting caught up in the hype of having to feed the engine and grow ego. Probably ego is the big thing. Check it at the door. I watched a lot of companies my size double or triple, quadruple. All of them disappeared.

Actually, we grew from 20 houses to 100 houses a year. Could we have gone to 200? Im sure, but it was a conscious decision not to.

Oh, yeah, we experienced great growth. But, once again, conservative cash flow management, prudent decisions. Someone in the land development business whom I respected at the time said, `Let me tell you: The best deal Ive ever done is the deal I never did. That stuck with me.

That was just great because you get caught up in a bidding war and you end up buying something, forecasting out three to five years when its going to come online and get approved and ready to go. You put the infrastructure in and borrow big money from the bank, and lets say its a four-year build out. Youre looking at almost close to a decade [before you get a return]. Who can predict that length of time for the economy. Economists are only right half the time. So, how am I going to do that?

Well, something that seemed as if it was a battle with the township, as far as the approval process going into litigation and drawing it out even further.

The price point, it was just rising too fast. You buy a piece of ground for say $10,000 an acre and the next time it was $12,000 and then it was $15,000 and $20,000. At some point, I looked at our inventory and I said, `We have enough inventory right now. I dont think we should be purchasing any more ground to put into land bank. And, thank goodness, we had a really good loan to value ratio on all of our assets. So, when 2008 hit, we were not really crushed on one single project. Probably half of it we owned and half we had debt on. So, thats pretty much not customary in our business.

Im entrenched in the business. Im passionate about it. I was president of the Home Builders Association of Bucks and Montgomery Counties. I know a tremendous amount of land developer and builders. Im part of a 20 Group.

Its a national group, sanctioned by the National Association of Home Builders. We will get together and compare financials and notes. We had the same chart of accounts. So, we know exactly what our profit margins were against other people in the country. Same industry, same size, but not in our geographical area.

Yes. We had a floating CFO and wed put all of our financials on the same chart of accounts that we could compare apples-to-apples. Granted, there were market conditions that were particular to certain areas, but theyre easy to find and discount. But, it was a great way to measure yourself against [similar] companies, and to figure out how you can better and get good ideas.

So, through that, I was aware of what other organizations were doing as far as land acquisition. And, a lot of times, it was the land acquisition without money down, and then youre banking on the rise in the ground. Youre going to go ahead and improve it. Youre going to increase the value by taking it through the approval process. You may get gap financing for the next piece to put in there. Then, at the end when the music stops, the door knocks. Its the bank saying, `Hey, were looking for our money.

Well, thats a great question. I put together a board for my company back in the late 1900s, early 2000s. I was in my early 30s, and probably when I was in my late 20s. I was doing multi-million dollar deals. I put together what I thought was a highly decorated group of gentlemen from different disciplines. No one with building experience, because I felt we were experts in that. But, all with great minds, who had run their own companies with a different perspective.

So, I put together an advisory board of five. So, if there were large decisions that I wanted wisdom on, we met quarterly. I presented them financials and so on and so forth. So, I think with the conservative nature of this business, I never really felt that I was stomaching a lot.

Things seemed to always work out. I think Id be a fool to believe that its just hard work. Theres definitely luck, but you have to be in the game, and you have to create your luck and recognize it or opportunity. Weve had some tremendous things happen. It doesnt matter how intelligent you are or how articulate or how conservative, how savvy. The chips fall your way, and Im a big believer in being grateful for that, and recognizing that. It kind of comes around and goes around.

It was like a faucet.

Humming along, musics loud, everybodys dancing and then theres just a screeching halt. Sales just come to an end.Traffic dies. There are no sales. It just rips through the media, which then crushes consumer confidence. If you think about it, there was a time before the recovery when it was absolutely a tremendous time to buy a home. But consumer confidence was decimated, plus the lending institutions werent lending money. It was a great time to buy. It was the best time to buy.

If you had money and you werent upside down on your home.

Peter Rotelle: Surviving the recession. - Philly.com

On Friday, Aug. 4, 2017, the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley lost one its finest home builders. Roderick Neil Thomas passed at his Clarkston Heights home after a short battle with congestive heart failure. He was 88.

Rod was born June 9, 1929, in Bowman, N.D., to Ethel and Guy Thomas. In 1934, the family moved to Baker, Mont., where Guy worked as an electrician. During his school years, Rod was active in Boy Scouts, football and basketball. Summers were spent working hard on the family homestead in Mott, N.D.

Shortly after his graduation from Baker High School in 1947, Rod followed the suggestion of his cousin, Jeannine, and moved to Clarkston, where he apprenticed with his uncle, Harold Ebert, a local builder. To his delight, he found a charming community, loving family, a vocation for which he was well suited and no mosquitoes.

On June 30, 1950, Rod married Nancy Marie Plunkett of Clarkston. She was the love of his life. Together, they raised three lovely children: David, Don and Diane. Rod spent his spare time improving their home, hunting, traveling across the country to church conventions and spending time with family. Eventually, he built three custom homes for the family.

Rod had a genuine faith in the promises of God, the great hope of the Bible for all who have died, that they shall live again. For Jesus Christ, by the grace of God, tasted death for every man, a ransom for all. Christ's millennial kingdom will bring the restitution of all that was lost in Adam.

Over the years, Rod worked on many local projects, including bridges, schools and churches. In time, he became a self-employed contractor, building quality homes with unique touches. Rod spent many years building homes across the Pacific Northwest for Capp Homes. Job sites were frequently in remote locations. The family spent summer months living out of a travel trailer - David and Don building alongside their dad, Nancy and Diane taking care of their boys and the family cats supervising it all.

In 1983, Rod and Nancy moved to Gresham, Ore., where Rod spent many years building the Bible Student's Retirement Center for his church. During this time, they also devoted themselves to caring for their son David, who had become severely handicapped.

Rod and Nancy returned to Clarkston in 1999 when Rod was diagnosed with lymphoma. The prognosis was grim, but he beat the odds and resumed building. Rod successfully fought several additional cancers over the years, but it was Nancy's sudden death in 2010 that was most devastating. Rod continued on with his faith, the support of his family and the sense of accomplishment he gained by serving others.

From 2011 to 2017, Rod did volunteer work for Interlink, Inc. He gave rides to the elderly and those with disabilities. He donated more than 6,000 hours of service and more than 35,000 miles of transportation.

Rod is survived by son Don (and wife Becky) Thomas of Fontana, Calif.; daughter Diane (and husband Dave) Bennett of Asotin; granddaughter Lusha (and husband Jason) Evans of Colton; and sister Carmen of Jonesboro, Ga. He was preceded in death by wife Nancy and son David.

Those who knew Rod well will remember his good looks, his big, blue eyes, vise-grip handshake, love of family, friends and the Lord, quality built homes, willingness to help others, honesty and integrity. As his Interlink clients so often told his sister Carmen, "He's the best one."

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Merchant Funeral Home in Clarkston. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations are made to Interlink, Inc., 817A Sixth St., Clarkston, WA 99403.

There is a little bit of Philly cheese steak intrigue in downtown Columbus.

Philly-osophy The Art of Cheesesteak, a popular downtown restaurant in the 1200 block closed late last month. The sign on the door states that is being remodeled and will reopen in September.

Owner/chef Mark Jones, who owns about a dozen restaurants in the Chattahoochee Valley and five in downtown Columbus, will only say it is being remodeled.

Well reopen the first part of September, Jones said when asked about the restaurant.

Will it still be Philly-osophy? Hes not saying. But he plans to move the three most popular Philly-osophy menu items the original, triple pepper and the dipper to Flip Side Burgers & Tacos, a Broadway restaurant he owns one block north.

They should be on the Flip Side menu next week, Jones said just before the lunch hour Wednesday.

Philly-osophy, which has been open for more than five years at 1207 Broadway, started as a joint venture between Jones and his son.

Other downtown restaurants with Jones seal on them are the Black Cow on 12th Street, Smoke on Broadway and Plucked Up Chicken on First Avenue.
