With the Midwest sometimes a latecomer to trends, they hope to provide Kansas City residents with a place to find bolder and braver statement pieces where they otherwise couldn’t, Stumpenhaus says.

Homeowners who feel overwhelmed by the idea of choosing wallpaper or new furniture can find assistance at the store.

Sometimes spaces don’t feel like home because they aren’t full of the things that you love and that make you happy, Stark-Glover says.

“It’s so funny how making your house your home, by what you put in it and the things you utilize, can make such a difference in your day-to-day,” she says. “And, you know, I always feel like life’s too short not to be happy and enjoy every moment of it. And that’s what we want to do.”

Design trends now focus more on colorful, unique looks rather than cookie-cutter beige walls, she notes.

The store encompasses different styles because, as designers, it’s hard for them to pick one favorite. It also shows that your space doesn’t have to be just one thing—it can be a culmination of many different elements that bring you happiness.

“Mixing it together sometimes can just be more personal, and then that’s somebody’s style,” Stumpenhaus says.
