I felt a little guilty wandering in there with no intention to buy a new model kitchen for my home…read more(I'm sorry, but what 20 year old can do that in this lifetime?! Some I'm sure, but no one I want to know...) I live for model kitchen stores (like Kitchens by Kleweno is Westport) but my visits are no less sincere than a little girl playing dress up. I clearly can't afford a dazzling silver modern Manhattan kitchen - but in Kansas I can look at a few and dream can't I? I was greeted by an older man who showered me with thick kitchen design magazines (thanks for the coffee table reads) and then he told me I could take a look around. I appreciated how he gave me space to wander - not like those damn Hallmark women that would rather claw onto your shoulder and be carried with you through the store like a black-feathered crow. I couldn't steal a stove or anything, so there honestly was no need to 'keep an eye on the kid.' And for the next twenty minutes, in the lull of the elevator music, I drifted from kitchen set to kitchen set - each one invoking a different emotion in me, a different story told. The first kitchen was like the playboy's serious no-frills kitchen complete with hard stainless steel appliances, dark wooded cabinetry and even darker tiled walls - it was masterfully designed - but I'm not a playboy (I thought it was funny how they added little frills like the SKYY vodka and martini glasses filled with crystal - it was so me - kidding). Other kitchens were more Johnson County-approved, with softer woods and cabinetry, spring greens and fall oranges and colorful vases and plate-ware. Once I had looked through the eight or nine sets they had built (the owner I had talked to in the entry and his wife), I looked through a large collection of posters they had printed out describing the work they do and it sounded so interesting - all of the broadened design that they incorporate. Of course, I thought - in Kansas? How surprisingly forward of this place...they do kind of fool you with a title like "Classic Kitchens" because that's only the half of it. I looked through their work of contemporary and metropolitan kitchens as well as American and European traditional kitchens. Kitchens for beach homes with waterfront views and kitchens for a wine connoisseur and hundreds more I will not bore you to write about - but it was fascinating to look though. When I asked the man if he had a pamphlet about the different styles I might take home with me - he pulled out an actual book and told me it would cost $5. I thought it was a joke and laughed - but he was serious and felt bad about sticking me with a cost, so instead he gave me more free magazines to take home. Sweet, sweet man! So, I left with his wife's business card - and falsely made him believe I would discuss 'my homes kitchen redecoration' with my father - LIES (I'm awful) but otherwise just too poor to walk into a store like that. To be fair, CK offers two lines of design - one higher end and one less expensive option - and both still too much for me. Some day...sigh.

All the designs are simple, sleek, and in neutral shades, and that's something I truly adore!!! The staff is not very welcoming sometimes..at least that's how I felt but they are usually friendly and polite. Tip - If you're looking to buy a coffee machine, they do offer coffee samples for some machines like Jura or Nespresso. The ground floor has kitchen pots and pans, appliances, cutlery, and dinnerware, while the upstairs floor is more focused on furniture shopping. I have visited this store numerous times and gotten gifts for a lot of friends as well - each one of my friends said that they are of good quality and are long lasting. I'm sure you will enjoy visiting this beautiful, elegant store. 5/5 rating!
