A few years ago 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…
Thanksgiving is upon us. And while it will inevitably look quite different this year with fewer friends and smaller tables, that’s not to say that it needs to be any less beautiful!
What happens when both the husband and the wife hold a PhD in Literature? Well, the house is full of books of course. Books upon books upon books. Collections of books. Collectible books. Resource books. Favorite books. All sorts of books.
We do a lot of white kitchens. And I’m okay with that. Because they’re classic and beautiful; light and bright. And I’ll never tire of them. But I’m okay with black, too. Because in all the same ways that white is enduring and lovely, so is black. But it’s also deep and moody. It’s bold,…
As much as I’ve loved living outside of Kansas City at different times in my life, the fact that I’m now raising my children less than a tenth of a mile from my childhood home is such a treat. Pushing a stroller down the same sidewalk I was pushed down. Ringing the same neighbors’ doorbells…
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…
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…
Ok, it’s time. It’s the long-awaited master suite reveal! And when I say long, I mean it’s been since January 14, 2015 that I first began writing about this stately Brookside Tudor. What? Yes, really that long. Like I mentioned in the last post, if I’ve learned anything about this process it’s that while Scovell Wolfe knocks…
Remember way back to early 2015 when I tracked the progress of this incredible Brookside Tudor? Yeah, me neither. It feels like a lifetime ago! It was my first go at following a Scovell Wolfe remodel real-time on the blog. I was plugging along pretty consistently (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4)…
I thought I’d pop in and share our plans for the kitchen. It’s funny how I absolutely live for designing homes, but when it comes to my own, I’m paralyzed! You’d think that working here at Scovell Wolfe, I’d know just the kind of client I’d want to be and not cause any problems for…
