vintage spaces
This mid-century-inspired loungey living room is open and inviting for friends and conversation, undoubtly talking about the history of these pieces.
n every issue we feature spaces designed and decorated by homeowners, but what about those who lease? Making a home in a restricted space (for square footage and modification issues alike) can be challenging, so much so, that many people accept their temporary status and choose to adorn their abodes minimally. And when you’re just finding your roots, often you don’t start with much. However, as the low-cost vintage market reaches younger crowds, we’re starting to see great inspiration come from those not yet ready for homeownership. Here, we’ll look at two small spaces in KCMO, one belonging to art students (his), the other to our editorial/ fashion assistant (hers). Combine their creativity with the greatly restored old build- ings in Kansas City and it’s a recipe for a home sweet (ephemeral) home.

In this living room, asymmetrical clocks whimsically surround the television, industrial elements stay true to loft style and old world pieces supply class and sophistication.
