I can’t think of a better way to have started off this Monday morning (okay, maybe I can…) than to open my inbox to see that Scovell Wolfe has been awarded Best of Houzz Design 2015! Very cool. And from what I can tell only 10 Kansas City home-related firms were awarded in this particular division!…
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…
As the year comes to a close, we’ve spent some time looking back on 2014 and all it’s brought. I would hate for this month to come to a close without celebrating one of our most inspiring projects in Fairway, KS. I took a minute to look with more depth at the mudroom/laundry room component of…
3D Woodworks in Kansas City has recently launched a foray into custom cutting boards. The gorgeous boards they’re producing come in a variety of wood species – from alternating walnut and maple, walnut and padauk, and walnut and purple heart or a board exclusively of walnut.

Over the course of the last couple years we have had the incredibly unique opportunity to REMODEL 2 IDENTICAL TOWNHOMES for two utterly un-identical clients! Here’s how it all started… Back in 2012 we contracted with Client #1 to completely update his newly purchased townhome. The remodel was a smashing success – garnering far and away the…
As I’ve mentioned before I’ve been on a mission to go back and photograph the ‘afters’ of projects that we never got around to shooting back in the day. So we’ve been pulling out the old rolodex and calling past clients to see if we can come crash and grab some pictures for our records.…
