My attention is usually focused on home design, kid stuff, and gardening, so this week’s link roundup is right up my alley. I hope you enjoy it, too!
This edition of my “Friday Links” post is heavy on design and decorating. We discovered a new appliance color, a world-famous blog features a local KC home, a fun design blog with local roots, and a home filled to the brim with color and pattern.
After 12 years in our little white Brookside Cape Cottage, it is time to redecorate. Next on the list? Living room chairs. Fortunately, we found some great options at J’adore, one of my favorite neighborhood shops.
If someone asked me what my number one most important item in home staging/decorating, I would say houseplants. Houseplants play a crucial role in staging my real estate listings, and even decorating my own home. In this story, I thought I’d share some insights as to why I love to live and work amongst houseplants, and offer a few recommendations of trendy plants.
I have a secret: I am easily irritated by shrubbery. The master gardening, real-estate-selling homeowner in me just can’t believe how common it is for people to have overgrown shrubs and plants in their landscapes.
As I was browsing the internet today, I stumbled onto an incredible home design conversion. What started as a plain little post-war ranch house, was artfully transformed into an attractive Craftsman-style bungalow. Learn why I think this is the perfect renovation idea for homes in Kansas City’s older, inner-ring suburbs and neighborhoods.
The Seth Ward Residence, as it is known, was originally built in the 1850’s and is on the historic registry. The home is currently for sale, and today I had the opportunity to view it in person. I have always noticed this home and its Antebellum, Southern Plantation style of architecture so it was especially fun to be able to see inside.
The smartphone may diminish the need for a wristwatch, but I still want a clock in every room of my house. I love the retro style, so I went straight to Etsy and found this assortment of new and vintage clocks.
Vintage aluminum folding lawn chairs are lightweight, convenient, and fun. Learn why I love them, view photos, and find out where to buy them.
