When you’ve been around long enough – that is to say, you’re old, Jim – you get the opportunity to remodel the same house (the same room even!) twice. Over twenty years ago Scovell was invited by this Mission Hills couple to remodel their “his” and “hers” master bathrooms. And in 2016 we were invited…
This isn’t the first, and certainly hope it won’t be the last, time I write about a Scovell project for these longtime, loyal clients of ours. After touching nearly every corner of the interior of the home over the last decade, from a screened porch addition out the back to the kitchen all the way…
Tucked in the small round of a four-house cul-de-sac in Cedar Creek, perched over a cluster of staggeringly tall forest trees that serve as both backyard and vista, a sunlit kitchen was brought straight into modern day just in time for the home’s 30th birthday. A series of unfortunate events had plagued Jim Scovell’s attempt…
It started with a microwave. A simple little poorly-situated microwave. I still remember when this Hallbrook client called, keys barely in her hand to the home they’d closed on just days before. Their new kitchen was…fine. So often, the kitchens we get calls about are “fine.” But not great. Not stunning. Not “I love it so…
Maybe it’s a millennial thing, but I’m such a mover at heart. I could move into a new home every two years. And for the last ten years, we basically have. Moving doesn’t faze me. I love doing it. It energizes me. It energizes my husband, too. I hardly understand people who dread moving. A new space; a change of…
So we are FINALLY getting our act together and rounding up pictures of some of the projects we were apart of in 2016. Today I wanted to share a house we worked on for the better part of last year. These empty nesters who had just relocated back to Kansas City found us through their designer Beth…
This Old Sagamore house has so many neat corners. We’ve already shown you pictures of the remodels in the mudroom/laundry room/office/pantry AND the kitchen AND the dining room, living room & master bedroom. Last up, the transformation of this once ho-hum family room. I love this room. Something about it just feels like the essence of…
Let’s pretend it’s not 100 degrees outside and that you actually want to get out of the house. Well if you were some of our recent clients out in Leawood, you’d be in real fine shape! Prior to this past Spring, the family’s breakfast room walked out onto this standard-fare raised deck. But not anymore!…
Back in 1994, we were hired by a homeowner in Mission Hills to remodel their Old Sagamore kitchen. Then, 21 years later in a fun twist of fate, we were called back by the new homeowners for round two! Here was Scovell Wolfe’s first remodel of the kitchen in all its 90’s glory: And here it is…
Last year, we teamed up with Natalie O’Shaugnessy of O’Home Interiors to produce one of my favorite projects to date. This Old Sagamore home just screams family to me. It’s got that high-low mix of approachable antiques alongside new, transitional pieces and fresh, yet still mature textiles. It’s just a total home-run in my book! But…
