Louisville Treasure

For all the wonderful elements Jenkins' St. James apartment has, such as tall ceilings, a wonderful floor plan where the rooms open up to each other, and a round dining room, he will be moving soon to new palette.  He says the new house is very simple, cottage-like, and he is already envisioning the contrast of the home's simple design with his elegant furnishings and sophisticated art.  Perhaps Jenkins is using that contrast to highlight his artwork.  Maybe for Jenkins it is all about the art and the design can be damned.  No matter, it's all beautiful in the end.
