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…
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…
I asked my husband what I ought to blog about this week. He quickly affirmed the male stereotype. “GRILLS!” he exclaimed! Write about grills! Spring is in the air. The weather is looking up. Doors and windows are opening up. And everyone is moving outdoors for dinner. Because everybody loves to grill, right? Wrong! I am not…
YOU HAVE EXACTLY TEN DAYS TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER BEFORE MOTHER’S DAY SNEAKS UP ON YOU….AGAIN! And if you do it TODAY, you still have time to personalize a gift for your mama. Personalization? Whatsoever could I be talking about? Well I’ll tell ya. It means it wasn’t last minute. It means you didn’t…
I knew by the time that the fourth gal left and then dragged her husband back to see our “NARI Remodeled Homes Tour” featured project this weekend, that this house was the perfect choice for us to show off! Another tour guest came back THREE times in the same afternoon! And countless others lingered for…
It was fun a few weeks ago looking through popular websites and finding nearly identical light fixtures with NOT identical price tags. I thought I’d give it another go, but this time I stuck with the same product. Or different takes on the same idea, rather. Voila the classic Parisian bistro stool from mainstream stores. (And,…
There is no denying that fashion influences home design, and, similarly, home design influences the runway. Do you ever think, oh my gosh, I love that Oscar gown so much I wish I could lay my head on it like a pillow and drift off to sleep? …No? You don’t? That’s odd. Well if you…
I happened upon an advertisement for a brass sconce this morning with a big fat price tag, and my first thought was, haven’t I seen that before?? But for like half the price? Being in this business, we’re often sifting through lighting selections that our clients have chosen and we see everything from dirt cheap deals of…
It’s Mardi Gras, my friends, so I thought we’d do a Big Easy themed blog this morning… Back in October my husband and I took a quick trip down to New Orleans to visit the friends we’d left behind when we moved back to Kansas City in 2011. We had first made our way to New…
So I think it’s time already. I mean Ikea has officially been open for months now. And anyone who wants to has had the chance to go visit the store. Which begs the question – what did you think? Did it live up to the hype? Or was it a major bomb? In years past my…
