UNIQUE SPACE & DESIGN
2 of 3
We both grew up in rural midwest communities, my husband in a small Illinois farm town and me on an Iowa farm, and were very fond of all the buildings we played in and thought were wonderlands as a kid; from corn bins, sheds, silos and barns. Actually, my husband almost bought a barn near his hometown for a place to retreat, work on and store his growing hobby of vintage cars and trucks. Phew! That was a close one; he was outbid at the auction!!
Then coming to our senses, living on 40 acres just north of KC, in Smithville Mo, we thought “Why not just build a barn on our property?” My husband could use it for his expanding fleet of cars and I could host a few events each year…perfect, right? Awe…the compromise of marriage...you’ve got to admire that!!
So, I started my quest with a conversation with local zoning and planning to see what kind of hoops I would need to jump through to have a business on our acreage. Well...let’s just say, it was a lengthy conversation, with no straight answers or direction, but resolute curiosity pushed me to continue my research.
As a recent empty-nester, the number one fielded question I get from friends and acquaintances is “What led you to build a Barn?”. Before diving into my story, I gently nudge them with a smile and a wink and say, “You mean a swanky event venue?”, they smile back and I begin…..
My patient husband, who always knew my passion for connection and chaos wondered why I held onto my corporate job so long and so tightly and was continually encouraging me to move on, be closer to home, travel, etc. Well, I insisted that I needed a focus, something to put my energy towards before walking away from what I saw as comfort and value, although a bit mundane. Yes, I am one of those risk-averse midwestern girls, that does what it takes.
Every event is planned with love, care, and expertise.
