Uncorking Luxury... Inside Birmingham’s

Sommelier Nick Apone and his wife Gina opened Old World Cellar on Old Woodward Ave., Birmingham in 2016. They ofer up a bounty of ﬁne wines with over 1,000 selections. “It all started with our love for the intersection of culture and wine, and its ability to bring people together. Enjoying a glass of wine adds an element of leisure to one’s day, especially when leisure is scarce in today’s society.”

Apone designed the building to protect the integrity of the wines. There are light-strike coatings on the windows to keep out any UV rays. The temperature controlled conditions provide a comfortable environment where customers may compare vintages before making a ﬁnal selection.

All the wine stocked at OWC has been tasted before it was purchased, ensuring every vintage is performing up to expectations. Some of their personal favorites are from Barolo in Piedmont, Italy. When celebrations call for Champagne, some of OWC favorite producers include Bruno Paillard and Lilbert. Additionally, Nick added, “Not Champagne, but an outstanding sparkling from Italy is Ferrari Brut made with 100% Chardonnay grapes.”

We asked Nick and Gina what were their suggestions for a romantic evening. “It depends on what you are eating. The interplay of food and wine is part of the experience.

Exclusive Wine Cellar

When thinking of a romantic evening, Tuscany’s rolling hills and canopy of cypress trees comes to mind. A bottle of Brunello di Montalcino particularly from Le Ragnaie ‘Casanovina Montosoli’ would be an excellent choice.”

Recently, OWC welcomed Abhi McFarland, a new business partner. With the addition of his extensive knowledge of wines, it has allowed OWC to expand their personal offerings for customers. Ahbi has developed “The OWC Wine Collective”. Members will have the opportunity to navigate the world of wine, discover new favorites and enrich their understanding of wine while meeting with OWC experts and other wine enthusiasts.

OWC also ofers another very special service for customers. Are you a ﬁne wine connoisseur with wine to sell? A specialist will come to your cellar to create a “Cellar Appraisal” for you.

Old Woodward Cellar was included in the December, 2023 feature article, “11 Wine Shops to Check Out in Metro Detroit”, found in the “HOUR, Detroit” magazine. The store is also Michigan’s exclusive retailer of Zalto glassware, considered to be one of the ﬁnest wine glasses in the world.

Stop by and step back into the intimate world of ﬁne wines.

Hidden History in Our Neighborhood

Photography courtesy of Paul Delmotte | Inlay Digital

n the corner of Telegraph and 14 Mile Roads in Bloomfield Hills, stands a very large and architecturally interesting building. Many drivers may have driven past for years; not knowing the significance of the structure. Sometimes we become so accustomed to our roadside views; we can miss some magnificent landmarks and their personal stories.

The original Temple Beth El was established in Detroit in 1850. It was Michigan’s ﬁrst Jewish congregation. This was a very turbulent time in our country’s history; the debate over slavery was raging and tremendous economic growth was taking place. A few Jewish families came together in homes to worship. There were 60 Jews in Detroit at the time, out of a total population of 21,000. Rabbi Samuel Marcus of New York came to conduct services in a house located at Congress and St. Antoine Streets. As the worshipers’ numbers increased, services moved to a larger room above a store on Jeferson Avenue and eventually in 1861, the congregation

moved into a new temple on Rivard Street. From 1854 to 1861 the temple’s Rabbi and congregation were involved in the Underground Railroad, helping “freedom seekers” who crossed the Detroit River into Windsor, Ontario.

Two very prestigious architects have been associated with Temple Beth El. Albert Kahn, one of Detroit’s best known and most proliﬁc architects, designed both the 1903 and 1922 temple buildings. He and his family were members of the temple.

In 1973 architect Minoru Yamasaki, best known for designing the World Trade Center in New York, began designing the current Temple El in Bloomﬁeld Hills. It was said Yamasaki chose the concrete style of pillars to resemble a tent reminiscent of the early temporary Jewish synagogues utilized during the exodus from Egypt.

Today, over 1100 families are a part of the congregation of Temple Beth El and its history of 175 years in the Detroit Metropolitan area

THE VILLAGE CLUB

Photography courtesy of Paul Delmotte | Inlay Digital

Over 100 Years of Women Working Together to Better The Community

The original Village Club began in 1919 with an idea from Marian Gilbreath, who became the founding member. She and a group of energetic women in the Birmingham area came together to create a club experience ofering cultural, social and philanthropic opportunities. Interestingly, one of the Charter Members was from the original Max Broock family. The Club met in a multilevel country home owned by the Charles C. Winningham family.

In 1956 the 30 Charter Members signed the Articles of Incorporation, ofcially establishing The Village Woman’s Club exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. Participation was encouraged to women of Birmingham, Bloomﬁeld Hills, Pontiac and adjoining communities. By this time the membership had outgrown their country home meeting place. The Club now rented space from the Martha Baldwin House in Birmingham.

In 1961 the Club purchased the Winningham House and 7.5 acres of gardens and orchard. The house was also known as Robin Hood’s Barn as Mr. Winningham was considered an authority on Robin Hood lore. Murals depicting scenes from the tales of Robin Hood adorned the walls. The Village Woman’s Club undertook renovations to allow space for dining, classes, programs and social events.

By 1976 federal tax laws required a separation of the social side of the Club from its philanthropic activities. In 1983 The Village Club was established for social and educational purposes. For philanthropic purposes The Village Woman’s Club Foundation was established, and today it is known as The Village Club Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Throughout the ensuing years, the women of The Village Club have worked together to provide student scholarships and grants to non-profit organizations focused on basic human needs and services, educational enhancement and cultural enrichment.

As of 2021 they have provided over $3,464,756 in grants.

Interior Design Trends the KSI team are looking out for in 2024.

Looking for inspiration for your next project?

There are so many new designs and layout ideas available to make your kitchen or bath truly new and beautiful. For over 50 years KSI has been providing solutions and designs to homeowners when they wish to create new and updated spaces in their homes. We asked the KSI Designers to provide some ideas for homeowners.

Designer Team member Brooke Dando tells us colors are coming back. “Dark and moody is on the upswing for 2024. We’re seeing a lot of color incorporating the moody tend.” Designer Krista Daily shared, “Workstation sinks with cutting boards and bottom strainers are a fun trend, making food prep easier.”

Some homeowners are not looking for a total renovation, but still want to refresh their space.

Designer Dave Karras suggested a couple of options, “Cabinetry refacing can be an excellent option enhanced by adding new hardware.” KSI also has suggestions for making small kitchens feel more spacious while providing additional storage space.

Designer Christina Fukumoto

shared, “My secret weapon in a small space will always be clever tricks that recapture vertical space often lost between badly spaced shelves. For style and an airy feel, a great lighting plan will do wonders to a small space.”

How can homeowners avoid common mistakes when planning a kitchen remodel?

Designer Mari Freundl suggested, “When working with strong and bold colors, it’s important to achieve balance. You want bold colors to pop without overwhelming the rest of the design.”

Their Design Team will gladly make an appointment with you to discuss options available for a fabulous new kitchen or a peaceful bathroom retreat for your home.

SANCTUARY SHE SHEDS

Backyard Sheds are becoming quite popular. Many homeowners are looking for more space for a variety of needs. Sometimes space is needed for additional storage; but other times people would like a special place that could compliment some unique needs and extend their personal style.

Extra space is often needed beyond the garage for tools, sports equipment or perhaps seasonal items. Creative architecture has expanded into the backyard. Outdoor sheds/ buildings can provide additional square footage for a variety of needs or the possibility of creating extraordinary retreats. Here are a few suggestions.

GARDEN SHED – Home gardeners could store pots, gloves and garden tools in a convenient location nearest to their gardens. Perhaps a potting bench could be added for a work space.

PERSONAL or WORK SPACE – Having your own “get away” room has endless

possibilities with comfortable furniture, perhaps a place for hobbies or a desk for writing. Working from home is very popular. Creating a home ofce separated from the main house can ofer a dedicated location away from family activities and help promote a good work/life balance. Most importantly, leave things as they are and close the door!

EXERCISE & MEDITATION RETREAT

Dedicating a space to work on one’s physical and mental health can contribute to an improved life style. A place with good ventilation and perhaps music would be excellent for exercise equipment, yoga or Pilates. Add a surrounding garden with lush plantings; it becomes a serene getaway ofering a quiet place for selfreﬂection.

CREATIVE STUDIO – A place away from the main house can allow for personal enjoyments such as painting, writing, various hobbies or possibly a music studio.

KID’S PLAYHOUSE – Children love to have their own special place with plenty of shelves for storing toys and arts & crafts equipment. A table and chairs is a must for activities and educational opportunities. Perhaps a little theatre for performances could be created encouraging kids to become more conﬁdent in themselves.

BAR SHED – Entertaining, relaxing and watching the game can be fun in a retroﬁtted shed featuring a cocktail bar with a fridge, cooler and place for food. Decorating with favorite sports team signs/posters or perhaps pictures and memorability from favorite trips can personalize the space. A backyard shed ofers adults an area for socializing while kids could be playing in another yard area. If you have extra space in your backyard, think “outside the box” for ways to move some indoor activities outdoors. All you need is some creativity!

The Original Home Catalog

SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO

In the early 20th Century, catalog shopping provided people the opportunity to shop through 1,400 pages ﬁlled with more than 100,000 items. Most everything for the home, including the actual house, was available to purchase from the Sears Catalog.

From 1908 to 1942 people purchased about 75,000 homes through the Sears Catalog, called “Kit Houses”. Almost 400 diferent styles were available, from Craftsmans to Cape Cod, accommodating nearly any budget and family size. Sears capitalized on increasing members of the middle class and WWI veterans who sought to build and live in their own homes. Each house style enjoyed a unique name, such as Starlight or Crescent, which helped increase the appeal.

After a home was purchased from the catalog; the building materials were shipped in railroad cars and could be fully constructed in as little as 90 days. Once the house kit arrived, buyers needed land and workers who could assemble the house per the enclosed instructions. The public imme-

diately embraced the concept, and Sears’ homes were being built across the country. Many Sears’ “Kit Houses” were constructed in Oakland County. Quite a few of these houses can still be found on some of the popular streets here in Royal Oak.

Sears also ofered homeowners ﬁnancing to purchase their homes. From 1917-1933 over 500 Sears Mortgages were recorded at the Oakland County Register of Deeds.

By 1939 Sears had reportedly sold around $7 million in “Kit Homes”. Unfortunately, preparations for World War II were beginning. The entire enterprise came to an end in 1942 when needed building materials for the war quickly halted most residential construction throughout the U.S. The demand for lumber exploded during WWII.

For over 35 years the Sears Catalog had provided a unique method for purchasing and building a home.

FIRST FLOOR

Living Room and Dining Room. These rooms extend across the entire front of the house. Plenty of windows assure bright cheerful rooms and a pleasant outlook.
