Beth and I recently spent an afternoon with Angie at her apartment on the Plaza. She has an enchanting place on the 8th floor within walking distance of the museum and overlooking the grand shopping district.
Personally, I've never been a city person, but after visiting this lofty space, I was pretty taken with the idea of living in the city.
We explored the Kaufman Gardens
and had lunch at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art. I felt like I was on vacation, and the day was a getaway from my regular life, not a typical meal and shopping with friends.
When we arrived, Angie had a fruit plate for us.
And a thoughtful gift.
This apartment is only temporary, Angie is a country girl too and is looking for a home with some land after her wedding date in August. Although, with that vista from the living and dining rooms, this apartment doesn't feel small or closed in like most apartments I've ever lived in. The view is such an expansive space, that her rooms feel larger because of it.
And of course, they are filled with beautiful things. Her decor is light and airy too.
I don't know how I've lived in this area for so many years and have never explored the Plaza, except for a few shops here and there. The Nelson has this gorgeous dining room, that truly made me feel like I was a world traveler.
It was a quite a special day, with special friends.
I hope I get another day to visit and pretend to be a city girl before Angie and her fiance buy their dream house together.
I loved the location too when I was in KC a few years back. I had lunch alone and I did feel transported to a Mediterrean villa. I also loved the surrounding area with beautiful mansions and the large trees and lawns. Very walkable area. Easy to reach by public transportation. It had been quite stormy the night before and everything was sparkling green.
It is just gorgeous, I shouldnt stay away for so long, since it is very close to visit.
Looks like y’all had a special time, including a very nice welcome from Angie with fruit, cheese, and gifts! Thanks for the peeks at her pretty apartment, and that place where you dined outdoors looks so pretty, too.
I love KC and the Plaza! My Grandson works at Jack Fiora BBQ on the Plaza.
I grew up not too far from there, either up Main Street or Broadway to Armour boulevard
. I have a recurrent dream that I’m try to be sure I get on the right bus to get home, it’s the country club bus. I used to ride the bus all over town. Being the extrovert that I am I got to ride the bus free cause I knew all the bus drivers!!! All these posts are really stirring up my need to head north real soon. Jen and I sold our house and are living in an apt. Temporarily til we decide what we want to. Seriously considering moving back home but don’t know if we could tolerate the cold weather after being away from it so long. Glad you guys had fun at your friends!
