HOLIDAYS –– for some they mean family, a

time for giving thanks, a time for celebration.

It’s a season of year I love, knowing that

there will be time with family and friends that

I haven’t seen for a while and lots of laughter

and cheer will abound.

The excitement of the season is even

greater for me this year with the debut of our

new magazine Kansas City Homes & Style.

After weeks of working on our Premier issue,

seeing the bits and pieces come together,

there’s nothing like holding the finished piece

in your hands.

Adding to that excitement is being back

together with several people who I consider

my family –– Darin Benson, Mary Parker and

Brenda Mitchell. And our family has grown

with Brett and Britt Miller inviting us to be a

part of their publishing company, Content

Media. Working together to provide you a

magazine designed to inspire is something I

am very grateful for.

Inside this issue, artist Julie Hansen invites

you into her studio and jewelry artist Todd

Reed shares his inspirations, along with

beautiful holiday decorating ideas from an

exquisite Briarcliff home to the more simple

musings for your home, inside and out.

Celebrate with holidays drinks or relax at a

wellness spa –– it’s all there for you.

As we get into 2015, you’ll be seeing

home and lifestyle features on kitchens and

pantries, pools and patios, wine –– cellars

to vineyards, fashion, color trends, yummy

eats and drinks. Curl up in your fave chair

and enjoy.

Welcome to our home.

EASY

TRANSFORMATIONS

KCHS: Many people love the process of decorating for the

holidays and can spend months transforming their home. Not

everyone has the time they’d like to devote to holiday interior

design but still want that transformative feel.

BF: Yes, it is completely possible to spend many, many hours

decorating for the holidays, but it is not always necessary to

change everything to achieve a beautifully inspired holiday decor.

KCHS: Where would you suggest people start?

BF: I recommend starting simply, with greenery. Consider using

tie on boughs of evergreens with strands of pearls or other festive

hints tied in on the banister for example. If doing the entire

banister is too much of a project, consider doing just the end post

for an elegantly understated look. You can use what is already in

place to enhance your design. A wreath becomes more beautiful

when hung by a ribbon and placed over a mirror for example.

KCHS: What are some other simple ways you can bring in the

holiday spirit without months of effort?

BF: You can add festive elements simply and beautifully by

creating holiday centerpieces and focal points. Something as

simple as a rustic bowl filled with vintage ornaments or using a

mirror as a tray for a grouping of candles can have a very dramatic

impact with minimal effort. Another great idea is to use a tall vase

filled with water, some fresh cranberries, and a floating candle.

KCHS: One of the biggest hurdles many people face in holiday

design is working around already existing décor that does not

seem particularly “holiday” inspired. How do you recommend

working around colors that lend themselves to spring or summer?

BF: Any color can become a Christmas color with the right

accents, so the same treatments can apply. You can tie some

sparkly ribbon around accent pillows and bring in your home decor

colors into your tree and other holiday displays. If your colors

include yellow and gray, something very popular right now, you

could use hints of those colors in your choice of ornaments and

use complementary colored ribbon to tie greenery. Thinking of your

existing color as your color theme can help you overcome holiday

design barriers.

KCHS: What would you say is the most important thing to

remember to guide our efforts?

BF: Whether it is garlands, wreaths, mantle décor, or centerpieces,

all of your holiday decor can be achieved simply and provide a

dramatic impact.

Decorating your home for the holidays doesn’t have to cost a king’s

ransom, but with a little imagination and some expert help in the

consignment arena, you will discover that when you choose moderate

to high-quality consignment accessories and furniture over retail, your

guests just might think you shelled out a fortune.

With consignment prices, your wallet won’t shrink much when

adding a new sofa or stunning coffee table, or even a fun sidebar for

that perfect holiday vignette. And with the money you will save, you

can afford to throw in any number of exciting accessories that will

definitely add that holiday pop and ambiance you desire.


INSIDEOUTS T O R Y B Y A N N E . B U T E N A S

For every season, Designer Consignmentadds tastefully displayed ornaments

and arrangements to their warm,inviting atmosphere.

Fresh Inspirations

Using upcycled and repurposed items, many of which are name

brand, your home can truly be decked out to the nines for the

holidays at a fraction of what it would cost at the retail level.

Something as simple as a holiday floral arrangement placed on

a table in your entry way can add some sparkle to the season. Add

a festive rug to the floor and place a few seasonal throw pillows

on the couch, and your living room can have winter wonderland

written all over it. Place some shiny Christmas balls and ornaments

in a festive bowl along with a red or green table cloth and that

previously understated dining room table can instantly become a

vibrant holiday setting.

“This is what we refer to as tablescaping,” noted Sherry

Jackson, owner of Designer Consignment in Kansas City. “When

you add specific and unique decorating pieces to your home for

the holidays, that is when the flavor comes in.”

If the extended family is coming over for Thanksgiving, Hanukkah

or Christmas dinner, finding a gently used and high quality table

and chairs in a consignment setting can add a whole new look to

your interior décor.

To further amplify the holiday spirit, consider adding holiday

wall art, wreaths, vases and candle holders. By adding just a few

simple yet affordable pieces, you can have visions of happy

holidays jumping in the minds of everyone who stops by for a visit.

Consignment shopping can easily provide that high-end look

without the high-end prices, giving you all the more reason to

enjoy the season.

If you want to add that holiday sparkle and fun to your home,

Finding a place that truly intoxicates your spirit can mean

embracing adventures half a world away or just taking a

few steps downstairs to the lower level of your home where

the four walls create not just a home but also a peaceful and

inviting sanctuary.

The stunning two-story Parkville home of Paul and Julie

Hansen truly embodies such an ambiance. A professional

artist who works from home, Julie wanted a space that not

only provided a dedicated haven to exercise her artistic

prowess but also a place that welcomed family and friends.

With over 2,300 square feet of living space in the lower

level of this 11-year-old home into which the Hansens

moved in 2007, this previously unfinished space was a

veritable blank canvas for Julie and Paul, who, along with

builder Tim Cunningham of Tim Cunningham Homes, created

a residential masterpiece that speaks to all of one’s senses in

a subtle, yet very defining, way.

“Working with Julie and Paul was great and lots of fun,”

recalled Tim. “The main objective for finishing their lower level

was to create an awesome art studio where Julie could put

her talents on canvas. She wanted lots of windows, not only

for light, but for the wonderful view of the trees and river

bottom in their backyard.”


PLEASE TURN THE PAGE

With the transitional style incorporatedthroughout the lower level,

this Parkville home has achieved a simple,clean and timeless look

without sacri�cing comfort andwarmth.

Story by ANN E. BUTENASPhotos by MATT KOCOUREK HAVEN



After much research on various design styles and elements,

as well as a few visits to different model homes, Julie and Paul

developed an interest in what is referred to as a “transitional

style” of decorating, which marries light grey hues and whites in

a seamless, sophisticated, and timeless fashion. Such a mix

evokes a modern look, balanced by simple and clean lines. That

is the look the Hansens and Tim worked together to achieve in

the lower level living area of the home.

Once you have descended down the stairs, there is a small

wine cellar to the immediate left and next to that is an exercise

room. The main living room is home to a large sofa, accent

chairs, table and a flat screen TV that hangs on the wall.

Contiguous to this area is a small dining area and the bar/

kitchen space, followed by a cozy playroom and then a spare

bedroom with a full bath that Paul uses as his home office. A half

bath sits just off the living area. PLEASE TURN THE PAGE

The stone columns and stone on the wall upon which the flat screen TV

hangs are made of real quartz stone tile, which also is incorporated into the

wine cellar to add a bit of sparkle. The hardwood floors throughout the

lower level are maple with a grey stain finish and the ceiling beams in

the living area are made of mahogany.

Bringing the bar area to life are the counter tops, made of white

Caesarstone, which wonderfully complement the clean design style.

Upon entering the art studio just down the hall and past Paul’s office

(while passing a flushed bookcase in the hallway), a custom arched top

mahogany double door was placed. This piece of art in and of itself

matches the mahogany beams in the adjacent living area. Once you

walk through those doors, this is where a slice of Heaven on Earth lies in

Julie’s eyes.

While the main walls in the lower level have that cozy, greyish tone, the

studio walls are white, catering to Julie’s preference for a clean, simple look.

The entire ambiance of the studio enjoys harmonious companionship with

Julie’s own artistic style: contemporary, transitional and leaning towards

the abstract. It’s less about the details and more about the mood.




The hardwood floors in the main living area continue into the

studio, and while Julie at one time considered cement floors for her

studio, she saw the hardwood as warmer and easier on her legs.

Recessed cans and spotlights, which mimic natural light, provide

great lighting for the studio. However, the room also heavily relies on

the natural light from all of the strategically placed windows.

“We put in two large picture windows side by side and moved

them up a bit, as they were originally much lower to the ground,

only providing more of a view of the grass, and I like to see the sky

and tree tops,” noted Julie. Two, smaller crank-open rectangular

windows are off to either side, which Julie can readily open for fresh

air when working with her pastels.

Other complements to the studio include a farm-size sink,

spacious cabinets for supplies, flat files and cubbies for smaller

items and the pièce de résistance is the custom-made, over-sized

art table, reminiscent of a drafting table. Boasting drawers all over,

this 105” x 60” table is on wheels and the top can lay flat or angle

up, perfect for the varying projects on which Julie works.

Of course, what is a living space without music? Surround

sound readily streams throughout the lower level, allowing Julie to

work alongside the sounds of U2, pop music, classical tunes and

contemporary Christian artists.

The entire project of creating this wonderful oasis took roughly

eight months to complete, and the Hansens are more than pleased

with the outcome.

“Tim was so amazing to work with,” recalled Julie. “If we had an

idea in mind we wanted to incorporate into the design, his response

was always ‘We can do that.’”


Julie takes advantage of the natural light illuminating the white wallsthat give her studio an open appeal designed to inspire..

KANSAS CITY BOASTS A VARIETY OF AMAZING

and interesting homes. The landscape across the metro

area is dotted with a vast array of inventive architectural

styles designed to not only catch your attention, but also

to encourage you to embrace that special abode that

speaks directly to you.

That is what Northland residents Jeff Fulton and

Beth Hamilton discovered when they purchased their

distinctive and elegant home two years ago. When this

ambitious couple embarked on their journey to find a

place that would balance their unique tastes while at the

same time creating an ambiance that is welcoming and

comfortable took some time, but their efforts were well

worth the end result.

Northland native Jeff, owner of a car dealership, and

Beth, the Director of Business Development of Worth

New York, a luxury clothing line, spent nearly two years

in search of the perfect home to kick off their shoes and

hang their hats. The location had to offer convenience to

the downtown area as well as remain in close proximity

to the schools Jeff’s children attend.

“We looked at many areas from Ward Parkway and

throughout the Northland, yet we kept coming back to

this particular home,” recalled Beth, who also noted that

when they finally purchased the house, they had their

work cut out for them.

“We’ve completely redone the entire house from

a cosmetic perspective,” said Beth, who pointed out

numerous interior, exterior and landscaping changes

they incorporated to fit their lifestyle and tastes.



Story by ANN E. BUTENASPhotos by MATT KOCOUREK

Decked out for the holidays,a Northland couple

found their dream hometo entertain family

and friends.

EleganceCasual



With over 6,000 square feet of living space, including

a 2,200 square foot walk-out finished basement that

practically begs its guests to proclaim, “I want to make my

basement look like this,” this 12-year-old house has assumed

an entirely new look which is perfect for entertaining family

and friends or just relaxing in peace and quiet in front of

a warm fire while sipping on a glass of imported wine. Go

ahead! Make yourself at home. The Old World wine cellar

with a custom built bar located on the lower level isn’t

just eye candy. It’s a welcoming retreat. (Our suggestion to

you is to pack a bag before you come for a visit, as you

probably won’t want to leave!)

Also taking up residence in the basement are five (no, we

did not stutter!) flat screen televisions adorning various

walls. The bar area itself, complete with custom-made exotic

granite, is home to one 80” TV and two 40” sets; a 70”

screen accents the living area and a 50” flat screen seals the

deal on the finished lower-level two-car garage, sharing

space with abundant windows and neon signs.

“This is Jeff’s place,” noted Beth, who pointed out the

wall of windows leading from the lower living area into the

proverbial “man’s garage.” (A three-car garage is one level

up off the main circular drive, while another driveway spins

off that main driveway down to this level. For the car

enthusiast, lawn care aficionado and man cave lover, this

design is true poetry in motion!)

From the outside, this home presents with a grand façade

that offers a very palatial feel, slightly reminiscent of

Romanesque architecture, with arcading arches and four

large, rounded pillars. The accompanying landscape is

very tailored and well maintained, with barely a twig or

blade of grass out of place.

Upon entering the home through the main front door,

specialty finishes on the walls in natural and muted tones

add subtle yet sophisticated charm while simultaneously

providing a neutral and homey feeling. The magnificent

curved staircase with iron spindles leads upstairs to three

bedrooms and a loft. The home also has four full bathrooms

and two half baths. The master bedroom is located on the

main level, along with a piano room to the left of the main

entrance and a movie parlor to the right.




The piano room houses an eye-catching player

grand piano, while wall sconces dot the wall on either

side and a chandelier hangs boldly and brightly

above. A large area rug adds warmth to the beautiful

travertine flooring while two accent chairs offer a

place to sit and take in the harmony of the space.

Inside the master bedroom, a gorgeous master

bathroom is the prefect place to unwind at the end

of a long day, and don’t let the fancy chandelier fool

you. You don’t have to dress to the nines to enjoy

this inviting space. Fuzzy slippers and fluffy robes are

the perfect evening wear for this private oasis.

Of course, the kitchen is the true heartbeat of this

home, and this one does not skip a beat. Stainless

steel appliances add a slick, clean look while other

highlights include granite counter tops, pendant

lighting over the kitchen counter, custom-painted

cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, a versatile island with

sink, a wet bar and wine refrigerator.

The open space of the kitchen flows into the

hearth room where family and friends can relax in

front of the grand fireplace before heading off to the

informal dining area just off the kitchen, which also

has double glass-paned doors on one side leading

to the home office. Perpendicular to those doors is

a sliding glass door that opens up to the upper

outdoor deck. Hardwood floors add to the warmth

of the entire kitchen and hearth room area. There is

also a second staircase just off the dining area that

leads to the lower level.

“We had a clear vision for the look, style and feel

we wanted this home to have, and the end results is

something with which we know we will be happy for

many years to come,” smiled Beth.

It’s safe to say that this is the kind of home in

which you could simultaneously lose yourself and

find yourself.

January 17, 2015 � KC Downtown Marriott

While the upcoming holidays can mean many things to

many people, when you live in Kansas City, you know the

celebrations would not be complete without the traditional

(and not-so-traditional) holiday lights!

Whether you want a clean, simple yet sophisticated look

or really want to add some spark and pizzazz to your

home’s outdoor holiday lighting, outdoor lighting can

accomplish all of the above. Just imagine what your holiday

guests will think when they are greeted by exceptional

seasonal style. Even just a strand of lights accenting your

front door can make a grand statement when the bulbs

are evenly spaced and the lights are easily directed.


GROUNDFLOORS T O R Y B Y A N N E . B U T E N A S

Luminary Splendor

When using the latest sustainable LED technology currently

available, which translates to reusable, lower wattage bulbs that

last longer than traditional ones, homeowners can use something

as simple as string lights along the perimeter of a home’s exterior

to decking out the trees, shrubs, sidewalk, driveway and more in

true holiday spirit incorporating a wide range of colors and

designs. Creativity is certainly welcome.

Doug Bringman of NiteLites of Kansas City added, “We take

into consideration what homeowners want and then guide them

and give them ideas for the best possible result. Common choices

include string lights, snowflakes, icicles and different variations

of colors.”

A company like NiteLites makes and manufactures their own

fixtures, as well as provides the installation and design services of

not only holiday lights, but regular outdoor lighting. They offer a

lifetime guarantees on their entire systems.

Homeowners enjoy the experience of arriving home and

embracing that inviting curb appeal. With unique designs to entire

lighting systems or simple smaller displays, brightening the night

with inviting holiday ambiance can make your home have

“Seasons Greetings” written all over it or it can make that simple

“Happy Holidays” statement.

For more information on holiday lighting and everyday outdoor

lighting, contact Doug Bringman with NiteLites of Kansas City at

913.871.1299 or go online at nitelites.com. You can also find them

Like nothing else, art embodies our soul and thoughts in a concrete form that will endure.

Art satisfies some of our deepest needs to bring complex abstractions to life. It anchors its

creation to a single moment in time, yet grasps at all that has gone before and all that will

follow after.

Art’s intrinsic value is incalculable, and ones attraction to any particular piece is difficult to

explain. When it speaks to you, it just does.

“Not everyone gets my designs, and that’s okay” says jewelry designer Todd Reed. “It is

not meant for everyone to get. At the heart of each design is my attempt to communicate

my thoughts and ideas. I don’t live outside of art, and I believe my form of communication

should be on point and connected to purpose. When that resonates with someone, I feel

very fortunate.”

All of his designs are borne of the desire to communicate astounding beauty, he explains

“Jewelry cuts right to chase. It allows an immediate connection.”

Reed, who’s mother is a well-known commercial illustrator, has always led a life of art,

designing furniture, leatherwork, painting and sculptures. After becoming close friends with

a prominent diamond collector, he was introduced to the artistry behind rough stones and

began a journey that continues to define, clarify, and broaden his art.

Reed’s designs are all created from recycled materials, an eco-friendly practice he calls

“right relationship” he has kept from the inception of his company.

“The use of recycled materials is not unusual now,” he explains. However, the trendsetting

practice was virtually unheard of when he began 20 years ago.

Reed’s designs are all hand fabricated by Reed and a team of 16 master jewelers using

18k gold, palladium, and platinum and personally selected diamonds and other gemstones,

often in raw form. Each one is completely unique, adding to the allure and artistic nature of

the piece.

“When designing the pieces, we think about love and spirituality. Every piece should have

relevance, and be the best we can possibly create.”

The quest for greatness is not always efficient, he explains.

“Each piece is crafted by one jeweler, without being handed off. Efficiency tends to take

an element of care out of the piece and we want to retain all of the passion from beginning

to end. That may mean we produce fewer pieces, but we can be proud of every one.”

Mark Mazzaresse, of Mazzarese Jewelers in Leawood, and who comes from the 4th

generation of jewelers, explains that it is this “inefficiency” that gives Reed’s designs a deep

authenticity that speaks to both men and women, and a large part of the reason they enjoy

working with Reed, who has become a close personal friend over the years.

orking with a financial advisor requires a great amount of

“trust” on your part, but that trust should not be developed

based on feelings and verbal promises. Real trust can be built

when you follow these 6 guidelines for choosing a financial advisor.

Know their structure.There is a difference between a stockbroker and a financial advisor.

Stockbrokers are in the business of giving advice on investment vehicles,

while financial advisors can help with both investment advisement and

developing a financial plan to reach your goals. However, some financial

advisors may be limited in ways they can help you based on their

professional affiliations. Look for an independent Registered Investment

Advisor (RIA), as these firms are not obligated to promote a specific

product or service and have a fiduciary duty to do what is in the best

interest of each client. For an RIA that specializes in financial planning,

look for one with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation.

Understand their services.You may find it valuable to work with a firm with clients who are like

you. Ask an advisor for their list of services and for examples of how

they’ve helped people with situations similar to yours. Also, find out

how they handle situations that are outside of their expertise. Good

advisors understand the services that fall within, and outside of, their

expertise, and have a network of resources available to connect you

with experts if collaborative planning is needed.

Require documentation.Advisors should be willing to furnish documentation regarding their

Code of Ethics, and independent advisors will provide their clients with

a Form ADV Part 2 & 2B that fully discloses how they do business.

Brokerage firms are not required to provide you with any comparable

type of disclosure because they are not held to the fiduciary standard.

You should also be provided with an Investment Policy Statement,

which serves as the “business plan” for directing and communicating

the activities of each client’s portfolio.

Understandhow they are paid.Registered InvestmentAdvisors can be compensated in different ways,

so understanding how they make their money and where the payments

come from is important. An RIA is required to disclose how they are

compensated in their Form ADV, so there should be no question or

confusion for the client. Payments received may be a combination of a

flat fee for financial planning and a percentage of assets for investment

management. Advisors may also include specific disclosures which

allow them to help clients with insurance, if the need arises, in a fully

disclosed manner. Some RIAs give greater flexibility to clients by

offering service levels clients can choose from based on their need.

Don’t accept limited investment options.Firms who develop and sell proprietary products are often incentivized

to promote their products above others. By working with a firm who

takes an unrestricted approach to investing, you can help avoid the risk

of being cornered into specific investments.

Demand support.Having support from and access to your financial advisor and their team

is something you should demand. You want to know someone will be

there when you have questions or need to update your goals based on the

evolution of your life. Finding an advisor that meets regularly with

clients and keeps up on their lives can help in developing a long-lasting

rapport. You will also want to find an advisor who is a match for your

communication style. Do you prefer video conferences to in-person

meetings? Email to phone calls? Make sure your advisor is comfortable

with your style and can communicate in a way that works for you.

financial planning topics, send your name and email address to:

Lambie Custom Homes just recently moved into their new offices, where

they plan to continue the legacy of a home building business now working

through generations. One peek into any of the thousands of homes Jim

Lambie has built over his 38 year career, one can see that this award-

winning Master Builder has given a whole new meaning to the oft-used

phrase, “There’s no place like home.” At his core, Lambie is a true

visionary; a creative thinker; a strategist; a craftsman; an artist; and a

respected leader in the development of custom homes in the Kansas City

market. He is also an ambitious entrepreneur. Lambie clearly enjoys what

he does. Each of the homes he has built over the years gives stunning

testament to his penchant for unique design, character and personality that

can be seen from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. Lambie Custom Homes

doesn’t just build quality homes; they build legacies for families, places

in which laughter is shared, memories are created and life is truly lived.

Jim is joined by vice president Tim Hovey and Lambie’s son Steve, a

Project Manager. Lambie’s wife, Diane, oversees the daily office activities

and she is joined by several long standing employees that have helped

the company flourish. Yes, it is a family-oriented endeavor, but that fa-

miliar reach extends way beyond the office to the clients. Building a

home with Lambie Custom is a very inviting and welcoming experience,

and when you partner with them, you truly do feel right at home.Among

the many communities in which Lambie Custom currently builds includes

Mills Farm, Highlands Creek, Canyon Creek, Wyngate, Chapel Hill,

Forest View, the Links Villas of Lionsgate, Woods at Colton Lake,


OpportunitytoCelebrateLiving

Watersedge, The Reserve at Town and Country, Windsor Ridge, Coffee

Creek Crossing, Kensington Farms, Grey Oaks, Greens of Chapel Creek,

Loch Lloyd, Glen Abbey, Arbor View, Bluestem, Woods at Somerset,

Estates of Timber Springs, Lake of Southwick and Stonegate Reserve.

But why stop there? Lambie Custom is building luxury custom villas

at Overland Park’s exciting new Prairiefire, a world-class development

center situated just south of 135th Street between Nall and Lamar, which

boasts high-end retail shops; fine dining experiences; upper-bracket

apartments; and a 41,000 square foot facility holding renowned exhibits

from The American Museum of Natural History. “We are excited about

the Prairiefire Villas,” he smiled, noting that the starting price point is

around $800,000 and will go into the millions. With these villas backing

up to the Links at LionsGate community, the residents will have full

access to LionsGate social amenities. Additionally, Lambie just broke

ground on a luxurious and cozy oasis of homes just off 133rd and

State Line on the Kansas side. The Enclave at Cedar Pointe, which will

eventually boast 24 lots, with a price range of $425,000-$650,000 will

offer homeowners quality with an affordable price point. Lambie

Custom Homes is the exclusive builder for these two new communities.

In addition to being readily available to his clients, providing the best

in customer care and service, Lambie’s reach extends well into the

community, as he enjoys giving back in any way he possibly can. “We

enjoy doing things for the community in many ways,” he expressed.

Among the various projects in which Lambie Custom has unselfishly

engaged include the construction of a rectory at cost in Shawnee;

building the Boys’Hope House off 119th and State Line; participating in

Christmas in October, fixing up houses in desperate need of repair; and

sponsoring the annual LuminaryWalk at the Arboretum. They were also

heavily invested in the Touched by Cancer program, building a gorgeous

home back in 2008, wherein a different decorator designed each room of

the house, with all proceeds from the subsequent sale of that home going

directly to the cancer foundation.

Outside of work, Lambie maintains an active personal life, as well.

He and Diane love to spend quality time with their four adult children and

three grandchildren. One of his favorite pastimes is relaxing in his wood

shop working.A creative mind rarely rests! Further, Lambie is a respected

member of the Board of Directors for the Home Builders Association.

Lambie Custom is not just a business for him. It is a lifestyle, one

dedicated to bringing each and every client the lifestyle they envision

for themselves as they begin the process of building not just a home,

but a dream-come-true. Deciding to build a home with Lambie Custom

is more than just a monumental decision. It is an opportunity…an

opportunity to celebrate living the way you always envisioned you could.

“This is what I do and I love it,” he smiled.

Whether it’s family, friends or her clients,Patty Farr’s top priority is creating strong relationships.

Whether it’s family, friends or her clients,Patty Farr’s top priority is creating strong relationships.

ven though she was recently honored with

the Lifetime Achievement Award from

RE/MAX, Platte City resident and Realtor

extraordinaire Patty Farr truly personifies a

very appropriate sentiment: It’s not about what we gather

in life, but what we sprinkle.While numerous awards seem

to find their place upon her mantel, Patty does not fixate

on those accomplishments. She prefers to focus on what

matters most to her: the clients. The relationships she

creates with them are the real reward. And the truth to that

philosophy rings loud and clear.

“I always answer,” Patty affirms, with respect to her

phone. “I don’t want to miss a call. My clients depend on

me and I intend to be there for them at all times.”

And while she might not necessarily want to toot her

own horn, we bear no shame reflex when it comes to

announcing that in the past eight years since she first got

her feet wet in the real estate arena, Patty has garnered $3

million in commissions. This past July she was recognized

as one of the top agents in the world from all different real

estate companies via the REAL Trends award, coming in

at #141.Within RE/MAX alone, she stands in the Top 100

at #48. All of this success was achieved in just eight years,

and also at a time that left countless agents treading rocky

waters as the real estate industry struggled to keep its head

above waters during the economic downturn of recent years.

Farr can credit her dogged determination, avid ambition

and unparalleled commitment to her clients for leaving her

relatively unscratched during those turbulent times. In fact,

her future seems to just get brighter and brighter.

Along with her husband, Larry Ryan, a licensed real

estate agent in Missouri, this powerhouse team understands

that there is a reason the rearview mirror is smaller than

the windshield and they stand positioned to remain a

driving force within their profession.

“We recently purchased a new franchise in early

October,” stated Patty. “We now have our own office and

brokerage –– RE/MAX House of Dreams.” In a rather

serendipitous manner, this name coincides wonderfully

with the unveiling of RE/MAX’s new corporate quote:

“Dream withYour Eyes Open.”

Above... Dave Liniger, co-founder of Re/Max and Patty Farrat the National Convention in Las Vegas.

E


Left to right... Lynn Lasley, office manager; Kamille Sedlock, office assistant;Patty Farr, broker-owner and Larry Ryan, agent-owner.

Located at 1103 S. 169 Highway

N in Smithville, Missouri, Patty and

Larry have assembled a wonderful

support staff and are about to acquire nearly a dozen new

agents from all walks of life (military, fire fighter, young

people) who will commence working with them before the

end of this year.

Never a dull moment for this group, Patty will continue

to sell while simultaneously training and mentoring the

new agents, along with the help of her assistant, Kamille

Sedlock. Larry will tend to the overall operations of the

office with office manager, Lynn Lasley.

A licensed agent/broker in Kansas and Missouri,

Patty focuses her efforts in the Platte City area but will

go anywhere to get the job done, whether a starter home

or multi-million dollar estate. Her work ethic does not

discriminate.

“Sure, every house has a different story and a different

situation for why I might be assisting in the sale or

purchase of it,” said Patty. “But no matter the client, I treat

all of them the same.”

And that treatment consists of literal round-the-clock

accessibility and up-to-date knowledge with respect to

industry trends, technology, and education. Both Patty and

Larry ensure to keep the pace with continuing education

through regular training and classes.

“Every day is certainly different, but every day is

definitely fun,” she smiled. “We work all the time, but we

love it.”

In addition to their real estate business, Patty and Larry

also wear other hats.

“We have our own construction company –– Homes by

Patty Farr,” noted Patty. “We currently have six lots and

three homes going up within the Rock Creek subdivision

in Smithville and are the exclusive listing agents for

builder Brian Mertz of PC Homes.”

They also are the exclusive agents for the Brookfield and

Fox Creek Villas subdivisions in Platte City.

But why stop there? Patty and Larry also own multiple

rental homes in the Platte City area. Yes, this is their

life, but it is a life they love and one to which they are

completely dedicated.

“I always answer my phone and if I can’t, I call right

back,” emphasized Patty. “We work seven days a week.

We don’t say ‘no.’ Somehow, we find a way to fit it all in.”

Of course, the advances in technology have definitely

served to help Patty and Larry keep their promise to remain

readily available.

Right... Patty Farr and Larry Ryan, owners of Homes by Patty Farr LLC,currently have 3 homes and 6 lots in the Rock Creek subdivision

in Smithville, Missouri. Pictured with sign, Kamille, Patty and Lynn.

“Dream withYour Eyes Open”

“I have two cell phones and two iPads,” stated Patty.

“And we also offer DotLoop through our web site, which

is an electric signature and storage area that enables clients

to sign the contract papers. All of our listings are also on

DotLoop.”

Not surprisingly, Patty and Larry also take the time to

give back to the community that has given so much to

them. It seems they are always involved in one fundraiser

or another, including a recent one for ALS and Juvenile

Diabetes and the Children’s Miracle Network.

“We enjoy donating our time and efforts to many

causes,” smiled Patty. As 2014 draws to a close, Patty is

on track and running #1 within RE/MAX in the state of

Missouri and anticipates over $25 million in sales this year.

“In 2015, we hope to make our agents very successful,”

said Patty, who, with Larry’s unwavering determination to

provide better support to their customers through the

agents, makes RE/MAX House of Dreams poised for a

phenomenal year…one of which dreams truly are made.

At the end of the day, though, it is really all about their

clients and just giving them the freedom to simply be

themselves, as that is the position from which Patty and

Larry routinely operate.

“We still have the same two trucks we used when we

boots on a typical work day,” noted Patty.

Larry chimed in, “We are very down-to-earth people

and just want to make people feel comfortable. Their

happiness is our ultimate goal. Everything else will fall

into place once that is achieved.”

Festive

OCCASIONS

Served in a chilled martini glass, the drink has a reputation for living up to its name.

Too many of these might result in your last coherent words of the evening. Tasty

martini cocktail with that holiday taste, Room 39 uses a house specialty Aviation

Gin. The Chartreuse, as Murray remarked, can be found in most home bars towards

the back. Mix all ingredients in a shaker and give it a good martini shake, served

straight up.

Ingredients

� 2 ounces of Aviation Gin� 1 ounce Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur� 1 ounce Green Chartreuse� 3/4 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice� 3/4 ounce simple syrup� Or substitute the lime juice and syrup with Rose’s Lime Juice.

Truly amazing and tastes just like the real thing. Favorite dessert of many around the

Holidays, this dessert cocktail is actually served year-round. Mix vodka, the puree

and simple syrup into a mixer and shake like a martini. Pour into a chilled stem-less

martini glass and add whipped cream to the top. Murray then reached into his

bartender bag of tricks and pulled out a pipette, and dressed the top of the whipped

cream with Disaronno.

Ingredients

� 2 ounces Stoli Vanilla Vodka� 2 ounces Peach Puree� ½ ounce simple syrup� Disaronno

We reached spiked eggnog perfection at Room 39, all made

from scratch. Murray reminded us a single serving of eggnog

takes a single egg. Start with no ice in the shaker, then with a

mixing ball to aid the egg’s frothiness, add all ingredients including

spices. Using a towel to cover the entire shaker, shake vigorously

to expand the egg-white. Fill the shaker halfway with ice, cover

with a towel again and shake vigorously one more time. Strain with

a Hawthorne strainer and pour into a cocktail mug. A little fresh

grated nutmeg on top and enjoy a fresh spiked eggnog.

Ingredients

� 2 ounces of Bacardi Rum� 1 ounce half-and-half� Single egg separated using only the egg-white� A pinch of fresh ground clove� Four dashes of ground cinnamon� ½ ounce simple syrup� Fresh Graded Nutmeg

2014Kansas City Symphony Ball

It wasBREATHTAKING to see theMOON shine downover the PERFORMING ARTS CENTER from Bartle Hall.

It truly added to theAMBIANCE of theNIGHT.

“

”

Year after year, it seems the Symphony

Ball, one of the main fundraisers for the

Kansas City Symphony, always outdoes

itself. The 31st Annual Ball, held on

Saturday, September 6, 2014, was

no exception. With its dazzling and

spectacular “The Sun, the Moon and the

Stars” theme, this black-tie affair proved

to be, without a doubt, an over-the-moon

experience for everyone in attendance.

Overseen by 2014 Ball Chairman,

Pam Fleischer, along with the Honorary

Ball Chairs, Landon and Sarah Rowland,

and a host of volunteers from The

Symphony League, the magical evening

began with an engaging performance by the

Kansas City Symphony in the Helzberg Hall at The

Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. Guests began their

evening with a toast to the symphony in the Brandmeyer Great

Hall, where cocktails were served before everyone gathered in the

Hall to experience this one-of-a-kind performance that celebrated

the celestial. Since the performance was in Helzberg Hall, it was

the first time the entire orchestra was able to perform at the Ball.

During the symphony’s stellar performance, guests were treated

to both visual and auditory delights as Music Director Michael Stern

offered a program of French music inspired by the region of

Provence in France where famed artist and post-impressionist

painter, Vincent van Gogh, created his legendary masterpieces.

“Diane Durbin, who was on the ambiance committee, suggested

Van Gogh’s Starry Night painting as inspiration for the color theme,

incorporating hues of blue, yellow and orange,” noted Pam.

As the 45-minute moving performance

ended, it created a wave of chills

throughout the Hall as the symphony and

the pipe organ played harmoniously

together the classic number, Symphony

No. 3 in C Minor Opus 78 Organ

Symphony II Maestoso, by Saint-Saens.

“It was very beautiful and moving,” said

Pam, emphasizing how it was more

than just a concert, but an experience for

the senses.

The evening’s theme captured the

essence of the sun as it shined brightly

down upon the guests as they arrived for

the performance. As it began to rest its

head upon the horizon to welcome the

glorious evening, guests then moved to the

Kansas City Convention Center via Promenade and

Tricycle Transit to the Grand Ballroom at Bartle Hall for a night

of cocktails, appetizers, dinner, dessert and dancing as the full

moon (and magically a Super Moon this year!) began to rise into

the brilliant night sky.

“It was breath-taking to see the moon shine down over the

performing arts center from Bartle Hall,” expressed Pam. “It truly

added to the ambiance of the night.”

During the cocktail hour in the Grand Ballroom at Bartle Hall,

shooters of vichyssoise were offered, along with mouth-watering

Brie and raspberry on brioche and pommes frites with a truffle

aioli. The succulent entrees, pre-selected by the guests, included

poached sea bass and steak au poivre. The meal was served the

European way –– continental style –– which meant the entree

came first, followed by the salad and then a cheese and fruit course.

IT NEVER FAILS !

The meal ended elegantly with French macaroons, chocolate

truffles and coffee. Aramark catered the entire affair, and Trapp and

Company provided the eye-catching floral arrangements and

coordinating tablescapes. Harvest Productions oversaw the sound

and lighting for the evening.

“The ballroom was partitioned into three sections,” explained

Pam. “As the guests arrived for the cocktail hour, the dining area

was curtained off and when it was eventually opened, it revealed a

huge, orb-like moon suspended from the ceiling. Projected on the

walls were trees of a forest, giving an outdoor-like feeling.”

The second curtain went up after dinner to reveal the dance

floor, where guests danced to the sounds of the Craig Duncan

Orchestra. Stars suspended from the ceiling gave the essence of

dancing under the stars. “Trapp and Company created the idea for

and designed the suspended moon and stars,” noted Pam.

“During dinner, the band played standing under the suspended

moon,” said Pam, who also revealed a distinct feature about this

year’s event. “We invited the orchestra members and their guests

to be our guests at the Ball. Everyone really loved talking and

interacting with them, and the musicians greatly appreciated it.”

Of course, what is a Symphony Ball without a silent auction?

Overseeing the auction were co-chairs Elaine Mann and Annette

Sherrow, who are also slated to be next year’s Co-Ball chairpersons.

“We raised nearly $67,000 this year through the auction and

a raffle,” noted Pam, who compared that figure to last year’s total

of $55,000.

Among the fabulous items featured in the auction were a

jacket from Alaskan Fur; ten piece of jewelry designed especially

for the Symphony Ball

from Helzberg Diamonds;

and several donated vacation

destinations throughout the

country.

“We had a variety of

vendors who donated several

gift packages, too, such as

a wine tasting evening and

a grandparents’ package,”

smiled Pam.

For a $100 raffle ticket, individuals had the chance to win a

private dinner catered by Lon Lane in the Kansas City Southern’s

Truman Dining car. Those who were among the first 100 ticket

buyers for the raffle received an amenities bag filled with

chocolates, coffee, candles and other assorted goodies.

The Wednesday prior to the Ball, a Benefactor Party was held at

the American Restaurant, hosted by Don Hall, Sr. and overseen by

committee members Jackie Middelkamp, Karen Mische, Susan

Ahn, and Peggy Lyons.

“It was spectacular,” recalled Pam. “We could see the performing

arts center from the restaurant, which gave us a preview of what

was to come that weekend.”

A pre-check-in was offered at the party so that guests could

pick up their table assignments and tickets for the performance

prior to the Ball, which greatly helped to facilitate things on the night

of the event.

“The Ball is certainly our major fundraiser and our team of about

40 women made this the success it was,” smiled Pam, whose

mother, Barbara Fleischer, was the Ball Chair 17 years ago. “I was

honored to carry on that tradition this year.”

Pam, along with Anne Elsberry, had the distinct honor of

introducing several key individuals prior to the dance the night of

the Ball, including Bill Lyons, Chair of the Board of Directors and

Frank Byrne, Executive Director of the Symphony.

“It was our pleasure and honor to announce that the Symphony

League netted over $700,000 that evening,” said Pam.

Earlier this year, the symphony received funds from the highly

anticipated shopping night at Hall’s on the Country Club Plaza.

"My mom and Miki Christophersen co-chaired that event, which

also featured author Danielle Rollins, who did a book signing for

her new release, Soiree: Entertaining with Style,” said Pam. “We

raised about $5,000 that night for the symphony.”

Additional fundraising efforts

still on the agenda for 2014

include a shopping night on

the Country Club Plaza, a

Vendage, hosted by Ursula

Terrasi, owner of Scandia

Home, scheduled for Monday,

November 10th.

“Several Plaza shops will

be a part of this event and will

contribute a portion of sales

that evening to the symphony,” said Pam.

As Van Gogh once elaborated, “Be clearly aware of the stars and

infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all.” Yes, it

was a very enchanting evening. Van Gogh would be proud.

Challenging the common perception that spas are an indulgence

meant for rare occasions, wellness spas have become part of a

new generation of life-enhancing practices. Far from frivolous

feel-good (though, they do feel divine) indulgencies, wellness

spas are designed to help individuals cultivate a healthier, more

fulfilling lifestyle.

Merging the latest technologies with ancient remedies, wellness

spas cross time and technique and deliver a respite for the soul

while reviving a healthful lifestyle.

“A wellness spa focuses on treatments that improve overall

wellness and are enjoyable as opposed to a spa which provides

treatments that, even though enjoyable, are more focused on

immediate cosmetic improvement. These treatments may even

have long term positive side effects, but do not specifically take

overall wellness into consideration as part of the service,” explains

Sharon Weaver, owner of Like A Day at the Beach, a wellness spa

located in Overland Park.

While stress is an inevitable part of lifestyles today, the results of

stress are often overlooked.

“Stress causes many chemical reactions in the body that can

result in excess weight, weakened immune systems, and decreased

energy. Spa services are enjoyable and cause the body to

experience rest and relaxation, which is sorely missing in our busy

lifestyles, bringing the body back into balance and often resulting

in reversal of many of these negative symptoms,” Weaver added.

AHealthy Choice for Healthier Lives

Technology plays an important and sometimes surprising role in

spa therapies. Treatments such as vacuum massage and ultrasonic

cavitation are two remarkable, non-invasive technologies that aid in

body sculpting. Far-infrared sauna therapy can be a valuable part

of a detoxification program.

Weaver explained the advantages of detoxification. “The greatest

advantage our services provide is to assist the body in detoxification.

Our current environment and food sources contain more toxins

than ever and our sedentary lifestyles are not designed to equally

eliminate the amount of toxins we take in so additional detoxification

can improve health, energy, and overall wellness.”

Of course, pampering treatments are also a step in a healthful

direction that adds up to big progress in changing our mindset

about how we treat our bodies. Weaver herself is a testament to

the value of spa applications.

“I reached a point in my own life where I realized that I needed

and deserved to pay attention to practices that would improve my

health,” she said of her own journey that led her to researching

best practices and technologies within the industry, and then

bringing those technologies to one place, culminating in a very

popular spa. “This began as a way to improve my own health but

has become a shared journey.”

The wellness journey can be as exhilarating as it is relaxing.

Drawing deeply from holistic practices, wellness spas help

individuals strive for a key common denominator: a better self.
