The Kansas City Star Home Design

THE KANSAS CITY STAR 
"I buy things for my home that I want to live with.  That's the 'ah' factor."
She (Barbara Farmer) loves portraits of women, such as the whimsical painting in her office of a woman holding a fan.
"I wonder about her, I wonder what she's thinking about."

Rustic columns, loads of antique pillows and deep khaki walls add warmth to the family room.

Pale purple Fortuny fabric on the Louis XV dining chair blends well with the antique draperies.

Dainty sweet peas in Victorian flower horns and a buffet readied for guests create a welcoming dining room.

An elegant living room filled with antiques collected by Barbara.

Flowers by Matney Floral echo the painting of peonys in this bedroom corner.


Pale, billowy drapes and vintage fabrics create a haven in the master bedroom.
