Kevin's Creative Commorancy
House Tour
Name: Kevin Derrick of Kelly Drive, DesignPhiladelphia & bahdeebahdu
Location: On the fringe of Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia
Size: 800 square feet
Years lived in: 2
This creative commorancy is unique to say the least. It's full of artwork from top to bottom and the color palette is not one you'd find in the average home. These are the things that make this home so fascinating — you just don't see this stuff everyday!
When you walk into Kevin's home you certainly don't expect to see pink walls in the living room. While we were certainly surprised, we were also impressed. The use of accent colors in the furniture, lighting and accessories merry perfectly with the pink walls.
After spending quite some time in the living room, we were again, pleasantly surprised when we walked in the bright white kitchen. We at Apartment Therapy have mentioned numerous times just how much we love bright white kitchens! There's just something so inspiring and beautiful about white spaces that immediately puts a smile on our face. We also really love the open shelving where Kevin keeps his wine and champagne glasses! And did you notice the subtle white and cream stripes on the walls?
We didn't anticipate just how much we were going to love the bedroom. We've been wanting to paint our bedroom gray for quite some time and this was the little extra nudge we needed. The white molding, doors and curtains help tone down the gray and leaves the room feeling refreshing, comfortable and chic. The accent colors of yellow from the IKEA carpet and the green from the nautical artwork work perfectly with the gray. The original black wood plank flooring helps draw everything together.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My/Our style: I don't really know, "bohemian splendor" maybe? Suggestions welcome.
Inspiration: Nest Magazine and World Of Interiors top the list. Such great resources in so many ways.
Favorite Element: The pink walls in the front room "salon." Finding a color that set off the space but didn't overpower the different elements was tricky. (I definitely didn't want Pepto Bismol pink or 80s magenta, yikes!) To get it just right, I tested it at different times of day and with a variety of lighting in the evening.
Biggest Challenge: I have a hoarding instinct and can't easily pass up a bargain. With a small space however, I really can only have a few favorite pieces around at any one time. This means my place is in flux with change-outs happening often. It's both hard to say no to, and to let go of great pieces I love.
What Friends Say: I get all kinds of reactions…some love it, others not so much. Most often I hear something along the lines of "This isn't necessarily MY style, but I can appreciate the fact that it is A style." I think that's fair.
Biggest Embarrassment: Cheap vinyl floors and a drop ceiling in the bath. But hey, it's a rental.
Proudest DIY: That would have to be my postal box bar. Actually getting the brass and steel piece was probably the hardest part as I had to haggle with someone over the course of several days in rural PA. In the end, I purchased two of them at a bargain and easily added some wheels, paint and a finished top to make it just right.
Biggest Indulgence: I would much rather brag about how cheap something was over what ridiculously high price I paid. I just don't understand that kind of spending and actually think it can sometimes be a little tacky…that said, you can never go wrong with great pillows and bedding. A good nights sleep is a luxury that sets you right all day long.
Best advice: Rules are made to be broken. Stand out and have fun.
Other Inspiration: Generally: art, furniture, fashion and graphic design. Architecture too.
Resources of Note:
Furniture: Salon: Steel desk from KNF, Leather love seat and bookshelf from IKEA, Pink concrete table from Sandback, Armchair from Stewart, Walnut side chairs by Robert Aiosa, Brass bar by Kevin Derrick, Oak desk chair from a thrift store. Bedroom: All flea market finds with the exception of the Andreu World armchair.
Accessories: TeaTime tables from Kevin Derrick, Drum One Up table and Piss Elegant vase from RJ Thornburg of Bahdeebahdu. (All available at Kelly Drive)
Lighting: "Hey Sailor" light sculpture from Warren Muller of Bahdeebahdu, Brass lamps from various thrift shops.
Rugs and Carpets: IKEA
Paint: I'll have to come back to this one, there were so many iterations!
Window Treatments: Drapery panels from IKEA, Burlap "sheers" from a discount fabric outlet.
Artwork: Vintage frame by Schuyler Blanchard, Framed digital print by Ric Best, Scaffold sculptures by Alex Beroz, Other assorted work by Kevin Derrick.
Thanks, Kevin!

J'ADORE the chandelier!!!
YES. That chandelier is incredible!
I actually was not even conscious of the pink...which is a good thing. I love the chandelier! Looks like flotsam.
I really love it all, except for the chandelier, which is too much.
Sorry - I am all for unique and unexpected but that chandelier is a hot mess. Rest of the place I love.
Thanks much for the compliments! Yes indeed, the chandelier is something else... Made by Bahdeebahdu just for me and my love of all things maritime. You should see it from the street too, hoo boy.
Lonny should feature this home.
A PERFECT example of how to counter moments of exuberance with moments much calmer.
Some pretty perfect choices all around. And stellar photography.
Why did you not enter Samll/Cool??? Or I've Got Color???
As an aside, I love House Tours, but wish they'd go on hiatus during Small Cool season. Take a lesson from TV, AT!!
Has to be my all-time favorite. Best tagline too -stand out and have fun.
I love the chandelier, but what guts to paint the salon pink.
There are too many tired design cliches around.
yes, this should be entered in the small cool contest!!!
I absolutely love the postal box bar (at least I'm pretty sure that's what it is in between the two chairs in the first picture). It looks amazing. I'd love to get some advice on how to acquire the post boxes and what you did, if anything, to convert them.
I rarely go through the photos more than once, but the pictures are just beautiful. Wow the shot of the kitchen through the archway, leaving pink entering dreamy white..purr
If you were going to show me that pink on a paint swatch I would say no way, but wow it really makes all of your beautiful pieces, treasure come through.
I love love the fabric on the chair in #3 is it silk? the iridescent of the orange, green and paired with yellow pillow and pink backdrop, perfect.
I am in love with the art over the sofa that large piece reminds me of Magritte.
The bedroom is just beautiful, simple and right color of grey.
Love all of your lamps. I love this tour.
Thank thanks thanks! From what I understand, I'm absolutely ok to feature my 80sqft space in Small Cool still... Look for it soon!
Oh and: Bahdeebahdu's "illuminated sculptures" are the favorites of some, others not so much. We get it, totally... One thing I will say though is that they are so different when viewed in person. Come visit Philly and I'll give you a personal tour of our studio!
Kevin what are those tea cup stands next to the sofa? Are those small table perches or is that a sculpture see your place is sorta Magritte.
Very nice! I especially like the bedroom. Where is the duvet cover from?
Did you make or purchase the gray lampshades? I love them!
Pink room owners of the world, unite!!! What a pretty shade!
The house is lovely but the chandelier is too much for me. It screams "we're trying really hard to be eccentric." The pink is also overwhelming to me. I think I could handle one or the other but not both.
The rest of the house is lovely, esp. the bedroom.
What a treat! Love, love, love. LOVE.
Please don't forget to give us the pink paint #.
one of the two top or three homes i've ever seen on here. truly unique, creative, inspired and inspiring. that chandelier is absolutely amazing. your sense of color is fantastic, especially as seen in the grey bedroom with the chartreuse and greens of the painting. just dynamite.
Pretty f'n wicked!
I'm down with it all.
The view of the grey hallway leading away from the pink room would, if I lived there, be constantly beguiling and pleasing, especially because of the color combination.
Small and cool with impeccable thoroughness.
What fun!!! And very inspirational!
the tile in the kitchen is vintage..but not in a good way...get rid of it please.
- LoriSF: The fabric is an iridescent Jim Thompson, I'll get the name for you. Also, the "TeaTime" tables are my own design, made of steel, brass and antique porcelain... You can find them on the Kelly Drive website linked above.
- roomwithaview: Duvet's from Ikea, where else? haha
- HurricaneKate: The shades were taupe the morning of the shoot. Nothing like last minute changes, huh?
-creative license: Thanks, I'll get the pink # soon!
Mikey1234: It's a rental and I hate it too! I actually am still thinking of demo'ing though. All for the design, right?
Fantastic home. I love the living room light! It's just the right balance of design and kitch.
I have the same grey duvet from Ikea, and love it! Been wanting to paint the bedroom grey as well, but was afraid it'd be too 'matchy' - after seeing yours I realize that our white window treatments and trim ought to be enough to offset it.
And no taxidermy?? finally!
This home is well designed, yet personal and fun. Can I ask where you got the print in the bedroom from?
thank you kevin- I love that fabric.
I just looked at your store, looks like a must place to visit.
I bookmarked the Tea Time tables it was nice to see them up close, lovely!
You are an inspiration.
I love your place and I REALLY love your blog--its everything I would post myself about Philly if I had the discipline for blogging. Bookmarked!
Love the pink walls! That color is fabulous.
stunning! just a beautiful collection of careful design and art choices without feeling cliched or overworked.
having been lucky enough to see the bahdeebahdu light sculptures in person, i agree that they add a whole different feel to a room than is captured in their photos.
personally, i love love love the chandelier but can see how it might be too much for some people. i think the apartment has enough panache to pull it off though.
Seriously all, yesterday was a bad day for me and now here I am soaking up all your love for my home... Shucks.
xoxo thankyou thankyou thankyou xoxo
LOVE the nautical pink combination!
I'm guessing though that there's not a lot of cooking done in that kitchen?!
SfDweller: I have a certain personal distaste for taxidermy, given my hunter dad would drag me along to the slaughterer's each year. Not pretty, no sir... The print above the bed is from www.ricbest.com while the ship is a vintage painting from my childhood. Thanks!
I'm definitely with you on bragging on what a great deal I got rather than how much something costs. That bedroom rug is really from Ikea?
kevin...oh im sorry I didnt realize it was a rental...too bad the landlord kept that ugly tile...my advice is dont spend too much on a new floor...
kevin I don't mind the tile in the kitchen but what about a flor runner in pink, orange, brown and red.. you could have fun with that.
A snare stand as a end table base! Har!
I want the coffee table.
I agree with Patrick that featuring house tours during small cool AND the cure makes it a lot to take in.
Love all the opposing views on that chandelier. Personally, I think seeing it everyday will just remind me to laugh at the day's annoyances.
I sent that picture to a deep-sea explorer I know - let's see what a pro thinks, since that "hot mess" is what a shipwreck gets to be given time and fishing damage.
the chandelier is the best!
What a fun and inviting space, there are so many beautiful components to look at. I am loving that bedroom rug, Ikea? Really? Love it.
Not my style but I love the enthusiasm and the self-described "bohemian splendor"
And a hat tip to AT for teaching me a fancy new word today:"commorancy"!
For those inquiring, the pink I ultimately chose is Sherwin Williams "Impatiens Petal" (SW6582). Now go forth and spread the word. ;)
For what it's worth, the room's color was inspired by the Sandback coffee table and meant to counter the heavy, dark furniture and black flooring in the space... Thanks for all the great feedback!
I would have to see the chandelier in person.
The pink wall make me happy, but the chandelier looks like the attic and all its contents are crashing down.
I'm kind of a form-follows-function person.
I agree with Richelle, I need like 3-D glasses to judge this light fixture. However I kinda like the pink walls, which is surprising for me-- they come off oddly neutral. Happy to see another Philly post!
I have been thinking about how fantastic this is and that it deserves to win the prizes and is not even in the contest.
I looked at the links and was astonished and thrilled.
It will take me days to absorb all the amazing work on the sites and someday I will see an installation. This is a AT Jackpot for me.
I love the trash floating from you ceiling...
You have clearly surrounded yourself with what you love. I think it's conspicuously thoughtful and brilliant!
ps: I'm with Kate (NC) - you need a prize.
Richelle and others: I'm all for showing off my place and the lighting studio too. If ever in Philly just send a note and I'll give a tour... Thanks again for the compliments!
ps I'm entering the Small Cool contest on Sunday, please show your support with a thumbs up!
the first few photos almost made me not finish the house tour but I am glad I did because once I got past the pink, way too much is going on, room I realized the rest of the place is nice!
I love this home, love the pink, the chandelier is fantastic( clearly dearly loved by Kevin) and the bedroom is beautiful. I love the gray and the simple yellow rug. Not only do I love the home but, after reading some of Kevin's comments on here...I adore him! What a sweetheart and so very creative! I love the teacups sidetable and the hills painting....did you paint that one Kevin? Thanks for sharing your home! It is wonderful and so very unique!
I like your sense of play, you have great style without being boring.
I have the matching chandelier to that bedroom lamp, btw....and it's for sale, just sayin'....
Sorry I don't care for it. Your design elements are interesting, but I find the pink too distracting. I couldn't stop looking at it. When I finally came to the pics of the kitchen i relaxed a little.
i love the painting over the couch of the sky and hills. is it original, or do you know the artist?
Thanks for the great comments everyone! In advance of AT posting the tour, I guessed that people would talk most about the wall color and chandelier. You either love 'em or hate 'em, which I totally understand. Above all else though, I hope my place counters the idea that all homes need to have certain "standard" elements in order to be considered well designed. In my opinion, style and taste aren't about following a set of prescribed rules but rather about expressing yourself in the best way you can. Stand out and have fun, that's my motto.
I DRANK this tour. That ship-light is amazing and I am soooooo in love with those pink walls. Random question though? What is the purpose of that strange hanging noose-like rope?
sadiegitz: Thanks for the kudos, glad you like it! The rope is a nod to the finial of a traditional chandelier, which serve to visually "anchor" the fixtures in a space. Warren (the artist) considered an actual anchor at one point but decided it would be a little too literal with all the other items present. In my opinion, the loosely-tied knot gives the piece less pretense and yet still completes the look. I think it's a pretty damn perfect solution actually. Just sayin', haha
Those pink walls would make me go cuckoo for cocoa puffs. I avoided this tour for days b/c I couldn't bear those pink walls. I was lured in when AT highlighted the bedroom in a weekend roundup. I used the thumbnail view after the first couple of photos, though. That is just wayyyy too much pink for me.
I wanted to add that the bedroom is just lovely.
The chandelier is AMAZING!! Did you make it yourself?
i agree with patrick, too! (no pun intended)
Was that blue painting (and blue frame) once in the uwishunu.com hotel room in the Westin in Philadelphia?
That bedroom made me want to curl up in bed and read a book. Visually interesting without being overstimulating.
Commorancy? Did somebody get a shiny new thesaurus? That's a bit over the top.
HouseOfNiNi: Thanks much! The chandelier was actually made by Warren Muller of Bahdeebahdu. I've worked for the studio a number of years and Warren was kind enough to make me a custom piece of my very own... Shucks.
CaroPhila: You know it! Schuyler Blanchard is an artist of many talents, and this piece is currently "on loan" froma private collection. (I'm working on getting a commission from him soon.)
Hey, I'm in the "Little" division of the Small Cool Contest, please vote for my place! Thanks much!
It takes a big man to so proudly admit he's in the "Little" Division.
Good luck, Kevin! I'd root for you even more were I not a co-competitor! :)
Simply luscious!
Warren Muller is a bad ass....
Absolutely love this.
The pink living room? Perfect. And the chandelier. Jeez, how can you look at that thing and not smile?
What I really (really) love though is how you toned it all down for the bedroom. With all the lower hued tones of grey and blue and brown in there, it's verrry calming looking. People often talk of bedrooms being retreats, but I can see how yours must feel like one at the end of the day. And what's so fabulous about that is how you go from the sort of joyful chaos of that living room into a more subdued bedroom but the bedroom isn't the least bit boring or secondary to the living room. It's every bit as beautiful just in a different way. This is a rare gift as some homes just look a bit chopped up when such drastically different design elements are together like this.
Well played, sir!
i read "steel desk from KNF" as "steel desk from KFN" which would have been weird but probably awesome
surfjack : You're right on the mark. I intentionally packed all the craziness and color in the salon space, neutralized it all in the kitchen and then turned up the volume ever so slightly in the bedroom. A little contrived, maybe, but a fun solution nonetheless.
Yay, style in Philly! And you've a great eye for those pops of color in a room. Pink is not a color for me, but you can rock it.

Said YES to this dress I had a budget and was not trying to go over it since it was gonna be an outdoor wedding and I plan on changing to a different dress. I was starting to lose hope since every dressed I liked was well over $1,000. This was the very last dress I tried on and it was an instant "I WANT THIS DRESS" It flattered my curves perfectly and had everything I wanted all in one dress. When the sales associate told me the price it closed the sale!! It was meant for me. It was the very last dress in the store and come to find out this dress was going to be discontinued. I cannot wait to wear this dress on my wedding day and see my fiance' expression !!!!! September 15, 2013

Comments about Dog Game Jigsaw Glider:
Although my Jack Russell figures this out pretty fast, it's sturdy and does entertain him for awhile. I really like that it's plastic so I can wash it. My only complaint is that sometimes the pieces get stuck and he can't open the compartment enough to get out the toy, but that's not a bad thing! It keeps him busy until I see he's getting frustrated and then I'll open it for him. I would say that a larger dog like a boxer or lab might be able to break the plastic, but for smaller dogs it's sturdy enough.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

From America's mid-term elections, two noteworthy comparative results. A modestly funded ballot initiative to legalize marijuana in California drew 300,000 more votes than a billionaire businesswoman who spent well over $140 million of her own money to try to become the state's governor. Both lost.
The hotly debated marijuana ballot measure attracted 3.4 million yes votes. Meg Whitman drew 3.1 million voters. It's not clear whether she will run again but proponents of the marijuana measure, Proposition 19, are already planning to make another attempt in 2012. They think the California vote shows legalization is a matter of when, not if, never mind that this time they fell more than half a million votes short of success.
Proposition 19 would have allowed Californians over 21 to grow up to 25 square feet (2.3 sq metres) of marijuana and possess up to an ounce for personal consumption. It would have turned California, America's most populous state, into the world's first jurisdiction to formally legalize marijuana. (Not even the Netherlands, which has a system best described as schizophrenic pragmatism, has gone that far).
Legalization would have brought California state law in conflict both with federal law and the international treaty that underpins the global war on drugs, the 1961 United Nations Single Convention on Narcotics Drugs. It placed marijuana alongside powerfully addictive drugs such as heroin, a wrong-headed classification which became U.S. federal law in 1970.
Backers of Proposition 19 gave little thought to the international ramifications of the measure, which was closely followed in Latin America and particularly closely in Mexico, where more than 30,000 people have been killed since President Felipe Calderon declared war on the country's drug cartels in 2006.

We were in Italy for two weeks and this was by far the best tour. Our guide Barbara was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to be with. She went at our pace, told us stories not just facts, asked us what we wanted to do and was just generally very accommodating. We saw a lot and it gave us the opportunity to really know Venice which helped us to navigate during the rest of our stay in Venice. Well worth the money.

Cogeneration plant hearing draws small crowd
Only two people showed up to speak at a public hearing
held by the state's Energy Facility Site Evaluation
Council (EFSEC) last Tuesday evening on the BP Cherry Point
refinery's cogeneration project.
They seemed, however, to represent opposite sides of the question. Bob Wiesen, a nine-year member of the Whatcom County Planning Commission, said that he was in favor of the project because of the kind of jobs it would provide both in its construction and operation.
Kathy Cleveland cautioned the EFSEC about the kinds of chemicals that would be released when the plant is up and running.
With no one else waiting to speak the hearing was adjourned within ten minutes, though BP Cherry Point officials and EFSEC staff stayed around to discuss the issues informally for about a half hour.
The hearing was required because of changes in BP Cherry Point's original application submitted five years ago.
"This is the only refinery in the whole BP network that doesn't have a co-gen facility," said BP Cherry Point's Mike Abendhoff.
"With the money we spent on electricity in the fuel crisis of 2001 when prices went up so drastically, we felt we needed our own source of power," he said.
Both the former Georgia Pacific paper mill location in Bellingham and the ConocoPhillips refinery serve as host locations for co-gen plants, he said.
The power is generated by turbines, basically jet engines roughly 10 times the size of those found on aircraft, and fueled by natural gas by an existing pipeline to the refinery.
Originally the refinery sought to install three turbines but last June asked that their site certification agreement be amended to include just two turbines.
That amendment process required last Tuesday's meeting, although both the EFSEC and the staff of the Washington State Department of Ecology are on record as saying that the changes would not lead to any new or additional significant adverse impacts not already covered by earlier permits.
The plant will generate a little over 500 megawatts (MW), enough electricity to serve roughly 350,000 average homes.
The refinery will use about 100 MW and BP will sell the rest. By contrast, the Intalco aluminum smelter uses about 480 megawatts.
Abendhoff said that "one part of the project is to run a pipeline to Intalco to use some of their water in our process, and when that's operational the total use of Nooksack River water by both facilities after five years will decrease."
Construction is expected to get underway early next year, and the facility is projected to be operational in about five to seven years.

Marrero, La.-The Jefferson Parish Council has canceled its meeting on Thursday to vote on which company will take over the leases for East and West Jefferson Hospitals.
Monday evening Councilman Chris Roberts told Fox 8 that the parish Inspector General is set to release a report on Wednesday. Roberts says the meeting Thursday was canceled in order to give council members time to review the Inspector General's report.
Earlier Monday the board set Thursday as the day to vote. that decision came after a board made up of representatives of both hospital boards could not reach a consensus on a recommendation for the parish council.
"The ball has been given to the Jefferson Parish Council in order to decide. I'm disappointed that we did not reach a consensus, I'm not disappointed with the passion and everything that goes along with that inside the board room," said Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand who chairs the EJ Hospital board during an interview with FOX 8 News after the board failed to reach agreement during a meeting at West Jefferson Hospital earlier Monday.
The board members have had difficulty settling on one operator for both hospitals.
"The East Jeff Board strongly believes that HCA, the owner of over 160 hospitals, of which 112 used to be not for profit hospitals that they bring a strength nationally that's going to put us in a better position to succeed in the future," said Normand.
HCA is based in Nashville, but runs Tulane Medical Center and Lakeside Hospital.
The West Jefferson board favors having the Louisiana Children's Medical Center, which currently operates Children's Hospital, Touro Infirmary, and the Interim LSU Hospital take-over operation of Jefferson's two parish-owned medical facilities.
"The entire West Jefferson Board was in favor of L.C.M.C," said Jefferson Parish Council Chair Chris Roberts.
Ochsner is also in the running.
While the representatives of the hospital boards could not reach agreement on which of the three contenders should get the opportunity to sign a lease with the parish, Roberts and fellow Councilman Elton Lagasse announced Monday that they endorse L.C.M.C.
"We feel most comfortable with Children's…The management from Children's is local, they're here, they're part of our community, part of the fabric, they're a non-profit, I think their reputation speaks for itself," Roberts stated.
HCA made the highest bid in terms of lease payments to the parish. Its offering totals $537 million. Louisiana Children's Medical Center came in second with $406 million and Ochsner has offered around $380 million.
"We have been reaching out as a board to find enough qualities in Children's in order to overcome that financial delta in children's [proposal]," said Normand.
"To us this has never been about the highest bidder, it's not a concern for us about what this is monetarily going to generate for the parish because somewhere along the line a for profit company ends up making that up in some, we're concerned about being able to retain jobs, about being able procure locally, and about having decisions made locally," said Roberts.
Council members Ben Zahn Paul Johnston, and Cynthia Lee-Sheng told FOX 8 News that they wanted to postpone Thursday's vote. Johnston said he cannot understand why there is a rush to make a decision when the joint hospital board could not come to a consensus. Zahn said he backs the EJ board's push to have a split decision that would allow EJ to choose its own operator. Lee-Sheng also said more time for discussion is needed given the lack of consensus by the joint board for the hospitals.
Roberts did not indicate when the council would now vote on the lease takeover.

Who says you can't depreciate land?
Split it, put it in a trust, lease it, deduct it and create a legal tax break.
The IRS says you can't depreciate land. Here's how to do it….better.
Depreciation is the recovery of your cost from the purchase of an asset with a useful life of more than one year. If an asset, say office supplies, is expected to be used up within a year, you deduct the cost as an expense. But another asset, say a building, clearly has a useful life of many years. So, using prescribed IRS guidelines, you recover your cost by deducting a percentage of that cost over many years, technically the useful life.
The Tax Code doesn't allow you to recover the cost of land. That's because land has an unlimited useful life.
But, there's another way to recover that cost.
Say you bought a rental property for $120,000 with $20,000 allocated to the land. The rules say you depreciate the building over 27.5 years (39 years for non-residential rental) and get no deduction for the land.
But, we don't care about no stinkin' rules!
Bifurcate the property. You can separate the property into land and building. Deed the land only into a trust you set up. Use an independent trustee, who could be your lawyer, accountant or financial advisor, and make your children the beneficiaries of the trust.
You now own a rental property on land that doesn't belong to you. Your options are limited to moving the building or paying a lease rental.
Since it's a rental property, that lease rental is now deductible. Say a fair market rental would be $1,000 a month. It would be hard for the IRS to argue valuation when the only other option would be moving the building.
In three years, you've recovered $36,000 in deductions for land that cost you only $20,000. The best part? These deductions don't reduce your basis when you want to sell.
The cash you pay is deductible in your higher marginal tax bracket and taxable to your kids at their lower brackets. The spread is tax-free profit in your pockets.
If you're in the 25% bracket and your kids in the 10% bracket, that's 15% on $36,000, or $5,400 in just three years. Your tax savings will probably be greater because much of what's paid to your kids may be tax-sheltered by their standard deduction.
If you have farmland that you're working, put some acres into the trust and lease them back.
You'll have to file a Gift Tax return, Form 709, for the transfer of the land into a trust. But, you'll have an annual exclusion of $13,000 per child PLUS a lifetime exclusion of $1 million.

"No shots were fired, this investigation continues" according to Zimmerman.
"During the event there was a lot of commotion waiting for TI to perform," said attendee Alana Kushiner.
Kushiner said a large bike was pushed over when the fight broke out.
Several people were taken to the hospital.

NEW YORK (AP) — A 1954 portrait by Alberto Giacometti of his brother has set a new auction record for a painting by the Swiss artist.
"Diego in plaid shirt" sold for $32.6 million at Christie's impressionist and modern art sale Tuesday evening. It came within the pre-sale estimate of $30 million to $50 million.
The painting has been in a private collection for more than two decades and had never appeared at auction.
Giacometti's brother was the artist's most frequent subject.
The previous auction record for a painting by Giacometti was "Portrait of Caroline," painted in 1964. It sold for $14.6 million in 2008.

Yahoo! Takes Over Times Square
By Jackie Reses, Chief Development Officer
I am so pleased to share that our New York City-based Yahoo! team will soon move into an incredible, four-story space just around the corner from Times Square. It's thrilling for us – and really an important sign of the new direction of Yahoo! – that we'll take over a portion of this iconic building in the heart of Manhattan, which was home to the New York Times for nine decades. We are outfitting this breathtaking new space with growth in mind: over the coming months and years, we want to grow our Yahoo! NYC family by up to 60 percent, with a special focus on expanding our engineering team.
We love the symbolism of our Yahoo! NYC team moving into the former New York Times building. There has been a revolution in how users around the world consume media. Yahoo! – like the New York Times began to do in the mid-19th century — is focused on making the world's daily habits inspiring and entertaining across devices and around the world.
Currently our Yahoo! NYC team works in three different locations around the Big Apple. One of the main drivers in seeking a new space was really to bring together our team, and ensure everyone can collaboratively participate in our culture and contribute to the positive momentum.
Yahoo!'s growth in New York City is a reflection of how the city has become a global magnet for tech talent and entrepreneurism. We were so pleased to have Mayor Bloomberg join Marissa earlier today in our launch event in Times Square to help announce our new Yahoo! NYC offices. Since taking office, Mayor Bloomberg has worked to grow the local tech industry, positioning New York City as an ideal location for talented entrepreneurs to start and grow their companies.
From a personal perspective, there are few cities I love more than New York. We aim to move our team into our new space by December of this year, and it is simply awesome to think forward to that time just around the corner when the Yahoo! sign will shine over Times Square.

There are several bands using this name: 1) Galahad is one of the major names amongst the British Neo Prog scene. Galahad was formed in 1985 in Dorset, England as a seven-piece progressive rock band. In 1987, they released both a cassette-only live album and a single. Their music blends melodic moods and with heavier parts and the strong vocals are a trademark, over an orchestrated instrumental. The medieval themes are constant on their lyrics. Their latest album "Empires Never Last" propel them squarely in to the power prog arena similar to Yes, IQ, Pallas and Marillion.

Let's just say Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim isn't a fan of the recent realignments in NCAA sports. The latest salvo in an ongoing conference poaching war? Rutgers leaving the Big East for the Big Ten this week not long after Maryland ditched 59 years of history in the ACC for the same league.
"Rivalries don't matter to anyone anymore," Boeheim told reporters after Syracuse's win over Princeton on Wednesday.
It's possible Connecticut or Louisville will also leave the Big East and join the ACC to replace the Terps. What once was the country's best basketball league will be completely annihilated with only original members Georgetown, Villanova, St. John's, Seton Hall and Providence left. Those first three all reached the Final Four in 1985. Even Boeheim's Orange are headed for the ACC.
"Maybe they should just have a draft, each conference should just draft teams. ... Except then they'd have to make a decision, and they wouldn't be able to figure it out," Boeheim said, taking a shot at the college presidents and conference commissioners behind the trend. "Eventually, they'll get this thing figured out. ... But I'll be long gone by then."

Why You Should Love the Realty Income Deal As Much As Luxor Capital
Marshall is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Luxor Capital Partners bumped its ownership of American Realty Capital Trust Inc (NASDAQ: ARCT) in early January, as shareholders of the REIT were still in debate over whether or not to accept Realty Income Corp (NYSE: O)'s acquisition offer. Luxor Capital and Christian Leone made American Realty one of its newest holdings during the third quarter, and with the early January purchase doubled its stake from 7.8 million shares to 16.5 million. Luxor now owns 10.5% of the REIT and was a big supporter of the buyout offer from Realty Income. Shareholders approved the deal, with the details being a $0.35 per share cash payment and 0.2874 shares of Realty Income for American Realty shareholders. Billionaire investor Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel Investment Group, also added American Realty to his portfolio in 3Q (check out Griffin's biggest bets).
Luxor has been finding other intriguing values in the REIT industry. Commonwealth REIT (NYSE: CWH) is Luxor's newest REIT addition after adding the stock to its portfolio in late-2012. The office REIT pays one of the highest dividend yields in the industry at 6.3%. It is heavily weighted toward office space and as a result is down 35% since its mid-2010 IPO, due to the fact that the office property industry has been struggling on the back of a poor economy (see more on Luxor's Commonwealth pick).
American Realty has been focused on building up a portfolio of commercial real estate, primarily operating freestanding single tenant properties net leased to tenants on a long-term basis. Realty Income operates with similar principles; acquiring and owning freestanding retail and other properties that generate rental revenue under long-term lease agreements. American Realty had the following notes to shareholders about the American Realty/Realty Income deal, in an effort to convince shareholders that the Realty Income offer was more than fair:
- On Sept. 5, 2012, the offer value implied a weighted average capitalization rate for ARCT's assets of 5.9% based on current cash rents. This is significantly below the weighted average capitalization rate of 8.2% paid by ARCT for its assets as well as the weighted average capitalization rates of similar transactions, which range from 7.1% - 8.25%.
- The 15.7x forward EBITDA multiple represents the second highest amongst similar REIT transactions.
In reality there is no other REIT that could pull off such an acquisition based on its sheer size and integration. Given the business models are similar, the integration is expected to be fairly quick, with the earnings from American Realty properties contributing immediately to Realty Income's bottom-line.
Diversify, diversify and diversify…
Realty Income will grow its total portfolio of properties to 3,250 after adding American Realty's 500. The deal appears to be quite intriguing, with the ability to decrease Realty Income's reliance on its 10 industries for 73% of rental revenue to 64%. Other diversification measures include expanding the number of industries Realty covers by 8% to 48, increasing the number of tenants by 34% to 202, and having a pro forma rental revenue mix of 77% (retail), 11% (distribution facility), 6% (office), 3% (agriculture), 2% (manufacturing), and 1% (industrial). A couple of American Realty's top tenants are FedEx and Walgreen, which could contribute about three-fourths of the rental revenue added to Realty via the deal.
How does the valuation stack up? Just when you thought Realty's valuation was getting ahead of it – with the stock up 85% since the start of 2009 - they go and make an acquisition that will be immediately accretive to funds from operations and earnings. The American Realty addition to funds from operations will be $0.21 (midrange) annually. The new expected FFO for 2013 now comes in at $2.35 (midrange), and 19% above 2012. Based on the 2013 FFO estimates Realty Income now trades at 18.5x. This is above historical levels, but the expected performance irrespective of the American Realty acquisition is enough to drive Realty Income higher. For 4Q 2012, the REIT invested nearly $450 million in real estate by buying 189 new properties, and invested $1.1 billion for the entire year—purchasing 423 properties. These series of acquisitions for the year were the most in history year over year.
Dividend boosting
Following the close of the deal, Realty Income shareholders will see its annual dividend payment increased by $0.35 per share to come out to a $2.17 annual payment. The increase was scheduled to be $0.10 per share if the American Realty deal fell through. This new dividend payment is a pro forma dividend yield of 5%, up from its current 4.2% yield. Based on the projected $2.17 annual dividend, the pro forma FFO (2013) payout is only 92%.
Stacking up some of the competitors:
Retail Properties of America Inc (NYSE: RPAI) owns and operates shopping centers, as does Alexander's, Inc. (NYSE: ALX). Federal Realty Investment Trust is specialized in retail and mixed-use properties.
Realty has one of the best-capitalized balance sheets, based on interest coverage and debt to capital, and will soon have a dividend yield that puts it in line with the top paying REITs.
It appears that Realty Income is one of the better performing REITs in the industry, not to mention one of the most consistent. The REIT continues to impress and is expected to grow FFO nicely in 2013. And keep in mind that this REIT started its monthly dividend paying tradition some forty-three years ago (check out all the hedge funds in love with Realty).

Supporters of President Obama's health care law celebrate outside the Supreme Court Thursday after the court's ruling was announced.
All eyes were on the Supreme Court Thursday as the nation's highest court delivered its ruling to uphold President Obama's landmark health care law, arguing that the law's requirement for most Americans to acquire health insurance is constitutional under Congress' ability to levy taxes. Chief Justice John Roberts was the surprise deciding factor in the decisive 5-4 decision, joining with the Court's four liberal justices to uphold the law.
Many college students may be breathing a sigh of relief as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is cemented as the law of the land due to the provision that allows young people to stay covered under their parents' insurance until the age of 26.
Still, the PPACA is far from a perfect law and raises some concerns among the nation's future medical professionals.
"Sorry we kept you waiting"
"I think [universal health care] has been a long time coming and is excellent for Americans who haven't been previously insured," said Peter Vitale, a junior and biochemistry major at Iona College planning to attend medical school. "My biggest concern, however, is the number of health care professionals and if we're going to sacrifice the quality of health care in order to provide universal health care."
Vitale said he worries that the health care system may become too stressed and that the notorious long lines and long waits that plague the health care system in America's neighbor to the north, Canada, may become a characteristic of the United States' system as well.
Yet, it doesn't have to be.
Countries such as France and Japan also provide universal health care, but without the long wait commonly associated with such a system. In fact, France is ranked by the World Health Organization as the country providing the top health care overall where the United States prior to the 2010 PPACA ranked at 37.
So, perhaps the government will look comparatively in order to remedy kinks in the law and to prevent the newly created system from being plagued with one of Canada's biggest health care system pitfalls.
What about primary care physicians?
The new law also creates some anxiety regarding the future of primary care physicians. With a prospective 32 million uninsured people about to receive health care insurance, the need for primary care physicians is sure to increase to accommodate the millions of new patients and to avoid Vitale's concern of not enough available care care for the increased number.
Nousin Haque, a senior at Iona College also majoring in biochemistry and entering medical school after graduation, explains that after completing medical school, students are left with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt and one of the ways to remedy that debt is to specialize in a field. Specialized physicians receive a higher salary than primary care physicians, enticing more and more indebted medical students to choose a specialty field rather than practice as a primary care physician.
"If you're going to have millions of people newly insured under Obamacare, it is imperative to give more people incentives to become a primary care physician so that you have enough doctors for the newly insured to visit," Haque said.
But the PPACA does not forget about primary care physicians and their importance in a universal health care system.
Through National Health Services Corps Students-to-Service Loan Repayment Program, medical students who agree to work as primary care physicians in struggling communities are eligible to receive up to $120,000 in order to repay outstanding loans.
Yet, for Haque more still needs to be done to help primary care physicians. At the end of the day, the fear of increasing debt and the desire for a better salary will likely drive students away from primary care and into specialization even at a time when primary care is needed most.
It's the right thing to do
All in all, however, the passage of the PPACA is lauded by the students as a giant step forward for the American people.
"From a citizen's perspective I feel that everyone should have universal health care — it's beneficial to everyone and it has worked in other places like Canada, Europe and other countries that we have tried to emanate," said Garry Lachhar, a sophomore at Stony Brook University studying biochemistry, pre-medicine.
Vitale and Haque both said they concur with Lachhar's attitudes toward universal health care, agreeing with President Obama that the "decision was a victory for people all over this country."
For the students, the issue of health care goes beyond politics and addresses what longtime Washington Post correspondent T.R. Reid calls "the moral question" regarding health care in his best-selling book The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care.
In his book, Reid argues that the issue of providing universal health care comes down to one simple question: "Should we guarantee medical treatment to everyone who needs it?"
It is not a question loaded with political jargon, but rather a simple question regarding whether it is morally acceptable not to provide health care to everyone who needs it and whether politicization of such an important issue may cloud the nation's judgment ethically.
Haque resides in Reid's camp regarding health care and politics.
"For me, I really do want to help the people," she said. "I really don't care if a Democrat passes universal health care or a Republican does — I just think it's important that we give everyone access to health care."
