Welcome to the Neighborhood

We are so happy to be welcoming our new neighbors, The Farmhouse, to Delaware Street. Just a short walk away from Urban Dwellings, it is the perfect new restaurant to get amazingly fresh and delicious food for lunch.



Today the owners of Farmhouse hosted a late lunch on their patio (one of my favorite outdoor patios in town) before their official open date of July 7th. It was perfect for those of us who have been so eager to get a taste of what they will be offering. The veggie sandwich, home cooked potato chips and watermelon spritzer were all delightful (I heard the pulled pork sandwich was very tasty as well).



Its easy to make a day out of your trip to Delaware Street:

• start your morning off with a cup of coffee from Eljay's
  
• spend the rest of your morning perusing the shops: Silk Road Travelers, Urban Dwellings Design and the River Market Antique Mall.
  
• Once you have hit the 3rd floor of the antique mall and you are completely famished, head on over to The Farmhouse for some "classically creative comfort foods" to sooth your soul.

Happy Independence Day.

Gardens by Design: DIFFA/KC's garden tour

Last Saturday I joined the Gardens by Design garden tour, presented by DIFFA/KC (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS).

There were thirteen homes on the garden tour, spanning from downtown's West Side neighborhood, to midtown, Brookside, and Leawood.

We are lucky to have an organization such as DIFFA/KC--made possible by creative and dedicated people in our design community, merging the celebration of design with a great cause.

I was especially struck by the eight gardens and homes in the distinct West Side neighborhood. Composed of a mix of gorgeous revitalized 19th century and modern architectural homes, their lush surroundings make it a true urban oasis.

Each garden had its own unique charm; from artsy and geometrically inspired, to urban vegetable, to whimsical and homespun, sprinkled with statuaries, hidden nooks and treasures.

One thing they all had in common-- you could see and feel each garden was a labor of love, and provide beautiful outdoor retreats for their owners and guests. Thank you to all the homeowners for graciously inviting us in!

Happy summer,
