“I absolutely loved the beautiful ad you did for us in your magazine.

In fact I have it laminated to use in our promotions. Thanks so much for your outstanding work!”

MaryJo Klier, Director of Kansas City Swim Academy

“Recently, Gwen Kemper was selected to market a property because this particular lady knew we advertised in the KCHOME and Lifestyle. In fact, she pulled out a recent issue to comment on our advertising and said she liked the fact that we did not just advertise on the Internet. Her home featured on the front cover and sold within a short time.”

Micki Trotter/Gwen Kemper of Woodward Real Estate “20 years ago I started my career in real estate. KCHOME and Lifestyle evolved and our listings are distributed by the magazine to hundreds of websites world wide and we get a lot of leads from these websites. To this day, people instinctively pick up the KCHOME and Lifestyle magazine at the grocery store, and we still receive calls daily from those house hunters.”

“KCHOME and Lifestyle has been a great partner through the years.

Always helpful.”

Martin & MaryJo Ricono of Reece&Nichols Lee’s Summit

One-room living: How to live large in a small space (BPT) - As we seek to simplify our lives, the desire for small-space living - even one-room living - seems more attractive than ever. But whether you’re ready to join the tiny house movement or just want to get the most out of a compact space in your home, there are easy things you can do to make a small space look, feel and function like a larger one.

“There’s no need to sacrifice great design if you live in a small space. A few simple changes are all you need to make it feel bigger, more beautiful and a reflection of your personality,” says Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing, Sherwin-Williams.

Look overhead and underfoot. Consider using every conceivable space to please the eye -even the ceiling. “I love the idea of reflecting the shape of your dining room table with a bold accent color on the ceiling above it,” says Jordan. Another idea: define a space at the floor level with an area rug beneath a couch and side table.

Multitasking solutions. If you’re always multitasking, your furniture can do the same. Place an ottoman with a hidden storage compartment or flip-top serving tray beside a comfy chair. Move a twin bed next to the wall and add big patterned pillows to create seating space by day, and sleeping space by night.

The pillows can also provide extra floor seating for entertaining.

The answer is written on the wall. Walls can also be multifunctional. Sketch Pad, a clear gloss coating, can turn any surface into a dry erase board, and goes over any paint color. Instead of cluttering up the walls with bulletin boards, write directly on the wall by a computer desk, or scribble messages and doodles in the kitchen. Simply wipe it clean with a dry eraser.

Have lofty ambitions. Consider creating a sleeping loft. It’s not only cozy, but leaves extra living space below. A Murphy bed that folds up discretely into the wall is another space saver.

Find a focal point. It can make a space feel larger. Try painting a corner, such as a reading nook, in a bright, bold color for a mini-room effect. Or paint a piece of furniture or picture frame and elevate it to something special.

Get creative with cabinetry. Take advantage of cabinetry with built-in storage features, from pullout racks that create added pantry space, to bathroom cabinets equipped with laundry hampers, hairdryer hooks and bins for grooming items.

Expect the unexpected. Instead of painting the outside of your front door to make a bold statement, paint the inside of the door with a pop of color, such as bright yellow Cheerful or magenta Juneberry.

With these tips, you’ll find that good things really do come in small packages. For more tips, visit sherwin-williams. com.

Is a wood or composite deck right for your home?

(BPT) - Outdoor living is a home improvement trend that can’t be ignored. If you plan to add a deck to your house, remember the design is only one aspect of the planning process. The materials you decide to use can affect the project in numerous ways, from the initial investment to maintenance years from now.

Deciding between wood and composite decking can seem complex. You may have heard composite is superior but costly. You also may have heard that wood is greener yet more susceptible to bugs. Get the facts when it comes to wood versus composite so you can make the right choice for your home.

Cost : Building a deck with composite materials will cost more than virgin wood initially, but not as much as most people think.

The substructure is the same cost for either option and the remainder of the project could cost about 25 percent more for composite. That cost, though, is often recouped over time because there is little maintenance required with composites, while maintaining a wood deck can cost hundreds of dollars each year. Want to see how the numbers compare? Visit www.epa.gov and check out the EPA’s GreenScapes Tools Excel Decking Cost Calculator and an example that compares the cost of building a new deck with composites versus conventional wood.

Maintenance : Low maintenance is in high demand for homeowners, and decking is no exception. Wood decks require major maintenance every one to two years. Nail pops and splinters are common safety hazards with wood decks, as are cracked, warped and rotted boards that need to be replaced. Plus, wood decks must be refinished every year or two, a project that can cost $450 to $850 per year and take an entire weekend or longer to complete.

Capped composite decking from Fiberon will never splinter, crack or require staining, unlike wood decking. This composite decking is so durable that it comes with the industry’s first stain and fade warranty for up to 25 years. Typical maintenance requires just a few hours a year to clean the surface with a deck brush or power sprayer. Visit www.fiberondecking.com to learn more.

Eco-friendly : Many people believe wood is a more environmentally friendly option than composite decking. In actuality, the opposite is true. Composites are created from recycled materials and keep waste out of landfills. Fiberon alone prevents more than 50,000 tons of plastic and other waste from ending up in landfills or incinerators every year. Composite decking also saves trees. In addition to using locally sourced plastics, Fiberon composite decking includes wood scraps acquired from nearby cabinet and door manufacturers.

Furthermore, just because it’s wood doesn’t mean it doesn’t contain chemicals. In fact, most wood lumber is pressure-treated with different chemicals to boost its integrity and make it last longer. Additionally, because wood is susceptible to bugs like termites, you might need to treat the space to prevent infestation. Termites, of course, are not a concern with composite decking.

Appearance : Wood is undeniably beautiful and always blends nicely with the natural elements of the outdoors. But thanks to advanced technology, composites mimic real wood so closely that often you can’t tell the difference. This is particularly beneficial if you want the look of an exotic species without the upkeep. Today, capped composite technology allows for realistic wood coloring and embossed grain patterns.

Bottom line : When planning a new deck, don’t forget the impact your material choice will have on the project. Get the facts and make the right decision so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces to the fullest.

84 Years Strong...

During the Depression when many other companies failed, the Plaza looked for new ways to attract customers. The Plaza Art Fair was started in 1932 as a promotion to draw shoppers to the area and to lift their spirits. Held on an empty lot on the southwest corner of Nichols Road and Central, where Tiffany & Co. is now (see the photo above), 90 artists displayed their paintings by leaning them against trees and benches. Paintings were priced from $1 to ten dollars.

Artists enjoyed interacting with each other and having conversations with those in the crowd about their work. All agreed it was a successful first-time event and should continue. And continue it has.

Encompassing nine city-blocks and welcoming a crowd of over 250,000, the fair has certainly evolved from the early years when it was held at small, various locations throughout the Plaza. In the 1940s it was located in what is now Chandler Courtyard by The Cheesecake Factory. Initially the artists built their own screens with chicken wire and hoped they could withstand the weather.

Weathering the affects of the flood of 1977 is one the most significant dates in the Plaza Art Fair’s history. The Plaza and the City were devastated by the deaths and destruction from the September 12th flood, but many gathered to help clean-up the Plaza and prepare for the fair, only ten days away. And that they did.

After celebrating its 84th year in 2015 with 240 artists from across the country, the Plaza Art Fair has impressively become a top-ranked, national art event. But, perhaps even more impressively, it continues to be a weekend of people simply celebrating art and each other, as well as Kansas City’s unofficial welcome to the fall season.

Are You Ready...

Take Control with Infant Aquatics Children are naturally drawn to pools, hot tubs, lakes, ponds, streams, reservoirs and beaches. Despite a parent’s best efforts at supervision, it only takes one head turn before an accident has occurred!

The ability to float and breathe, regardless of the water’s depth, for an indefinite period of time remains the top goal of our programs.

Not just being comfortable in the water, it’s being able to swim and survive.

Empower your child with the skills needed to safely enjoy the water.

Your Child Deserves the Lifetime Gift of Swimming!

“When my son Chen didn’t come up after going off the slide, I wasn’t thinking of all the pool’s safety steps.

What mattered was what saved him.”

No lifeguards were on duty, but I was right there. I saw that the pool had new safety drain covers.

But what saved him was the CPR course I took. You can never know which safety step will save a life – until it does. Adding multiple safety steps can mean the difference between a close call and a more serious incident. Simple steps save lives. To learn some new ones, visit PoolSafely.gov
