W e had a great year in 2017. As we reflect back, we’re most thankful for all the everyday extraordinary people we’ve had the privilege to meet, come to know and interact with. Whether it was a shared story of their dream coming to life with the open- ing of their very own brick and mortar shop or that they just successfully completed a DIY project which they now proclaim as their “new favorite hobby”. It’s a shared win and joy we were happy to be a part of. Moving into 2018, we’re optimistic and hopeful of an even greater year. The team is set- tling into the Lifestyles aspect of VintageKC. It’s our goal (and challenge) to introduce to each of you a fun, and perhaps new, activity (some with a nod to tradition, like horseback riding – see page 28) for you, family and friends to enjoy within our communities. We encourage each of you to support all the many local businesses and events KC has to offer. In our feature story, the owners describe their design style as simply Modern Farmhouse – well that’s their opinion. We say “Gorgeous! And when can we move in?” We think you’ll agree. With our Spring issue, we’re most proud to introduce the premier of our The Art of Gardening section. VintageKC stands for local in everyway, so it is quite fitting for us to partner with Colonial Gardens of Blue Springs. Colonial is ready to educate and engage our readers. The staff is there to help you, it’s more than a job, it’s their passion. I love the back of their business card “Gardeners Inspiring Families to Grow Together”. We’re ready to grow, are you? Next, we bet you’ll take a double take on another feature beginning with this publication, Double Take. The concept: highlight a vintage find in two unique design styles. Variety is the spice of life and everyone has their own flair. So, stay tuned with us on Double Take.
As always, it’s our desire you find this issue of VintageKC entertaining, and it inspires a less stressful and more joyful life in each of you.
