An Affair to Remember

A relationship with a house mimic a relationship with a human. A home grows with you, changes with you, adapts as you discover who you really are. For one Leawood homeowner, that journey has been particularly rewarding. He first laid eyes on his home while in medical school when its then-owners asked him to housesit. And as with so many human romances, despite some imperfections, he fell in love.

Shopping with Kelly Kuhn

Occasionally we see perfect days when everything just falls together: a sunny break in the gray weather, a neighborhood block brimming with eclectic shopping, a grouping of vibrant, complementary personalities. Such was the case the day KC Home Design met up with Kelly Kuhn, owner of Blue Gallery, in her exhibition space in the Crossroads Arts District.

OCCIDENTAL
America is such a melting pot of cultures and cuisines that it’s sometimes difficult to draw the line between the familiar and foreign. This month, I explore some of our city’s diverse cultural offerings from around the Occidental world—Europe, Africa and the “New World.” Next month, I’ll focus on the Oriental continent of Asia. Italian Incredibles: With the exception of Chinese food, Italian cuisine probably has been more Americanized than any other foreign fare. In fact, some of what we consider Italian was created everywhere but in Italy. Take, for example, the caesar salad. Its birthplace was actually Tijuana, Mexico, circa 1920. I’m not kidding. Look it up.
