Kansas City wedding, events, and lifestyle photographer, Lori shares tips and stories on motherhood, home and design. Tuesday, February 7, 2012. And last, I have included a "tutorial" if you will of what I did with my preferences.

As I mentioned in my kitchen reveal. So, how did I decide this was the route to go for us? Then I painted a sa...
