Urban Dwellings Design

I’m in love with her beautiful curves, her chiseled features, how she feels when I run my hand across her sturdy frame and how her golden hair glistens in the sun. Her name is Hanna. I saw her in the window, exposing herself to the gaze of the bypassers. She’s a flirt. I hadn’t felt this way about a girl in my lifetime, what a spell she had on me. She seduced me into her place of business, I asked about her. Damn it if she isn’t high class expensive. Not that I am looking for a cheap lady, the quality is never what you want it to be and god only knows what kind of defects and surprises you will find, but damn it if Hanna wasn’t expensive. Oh Hanna isn’t a *lady of the night*, or even a true human female, Hanna is the name of a beautiful chair in the window at Urban Dwelling down in the River Market neighborhood. She is hand carved and upholstered in gold mohair (mmm mm, I love mohair) velvet, a real looker but much pricier than what I was hoping for.
Urban Dwelling is a beautiful furniture and accessories store. Great looking showroom floor with many gorgeous pieces throughout. There are Barbara Cosgrove lamps and Jonathan Adler pieces dotted around the store. Every piece that I fell in love with and pointed at saying «oh my god, I love that» was from Oly studio. Hanna reigns from Oly studio. Oly studio does not produce cheap furniture, damn my expensive taste! This is not a showroom with Nebraska Furn. Mart pricing, but they are more than happy to show you a nice variety of price points, many of which they do on the internet since they don’t carry every piece in this relatively small showroom. KC doesn’t have a lot of independent furniture stores in town, so I’m so glad that we do have this one.
The sales help has always been friendly and helpful. I was happy to meet Simone on my last visit. Simone is a furry, wild hair attention whore of a dog that makes this place feel *right at home*. If you have never been, go check out Urban Dwelling for a quality purchase or a nice dose of inspiration.

I felt like I was shopping in Lincoln Park, Chicago as I entered this store. The exposed brick walls and towering ceilings are the perfect backdrop for the plush and unique contemporary offerings inside.
A huge branch hangs above your head at the entrance. On your right is an oversize birdcage for 3 winged pets that call the store home. On the far left is a small bar where the consultants hold camp. In between are beautifully designed upholstered pieces, side tables, coffee tables, accessories, pillows, lamps, rugs, mirrors, framed art & dinning sets. Upholstered pieces can be created in any of their fabric samples or you can bring in your own fabric.
The owner obviously has a great eye for style and she managed to showcase pieces that are rarely seen elsewhere.
