Lee's Summit has been my home, along with my husband and my three teenage girls, for 28 years. We have built three homes, rehabbed eight homes, shown and sold hundreds of homes with our real estate careers, and even staged numerous homes. My passion for decorating, designing, fixing and changing is evident in our personal homes and even more evident in my Pinterest account. I have been fascinated with the home since I was very young, and it is a passion that continues to grow. The design element is something I have always loved, but it is what my home is filled with that has truly mattered the most—our memories, traditions, the babies, our little dog. I have dreamed of filling a house with that just as much as filling it with decor.

Average cost of divorce roughly equals the average cost of a wedding Stange Law Firm, PC
According to national data, the average cost of a wedding is approximately $35,000. Obviously, some larger weddings can cost more than this amount, while other smaller weddings can cost less. But this is the average cost nonetheless. Many also wonder about the average cost of a divorce when they are about to get divorced. Many theorize that the cost of a divorce should be significantly less than the cost of the marriage itself. Is this realistic? Should it really cost less to get out of the marriage than it did to get married in the first place? If so, why? The reality is that to get divorced, parties can really only complete it one of two ways. The first way is through a comprehensive settlement where parties agree entirely on property and debt division, child custody, child support, spousal maintenance and attorney’s fees. 12
Lee’s Summit Lifestyle | March 2018
The second way is when the parties cannot agree on one-hundred percent of those issues. Instead, after a trial, a judge ends up having to decide for them. According to a recent article, the average cost of a party to get divorced was $15,000. But when multiplying that number by 2 for both parties, the combined total cost is about $30,000. This is about the same as the cost of the average wedding — give or take a few thousand dollars. Of course, some divorces can be settled quickly and easily at less cost. Others, on the other hand, can be complicated and cost significantly more. This is really no different from the cost of a wedding average. Some weddings are small and do not cost a lot, while others are large weddings where the cost is much higher. For whatever reason, many are surprised that the cost to end the marriage is roughly about the same as the cost to get
into the marriage. Why that is probably has more to do with the emotional willingness of parties to pay for something that is joyous (like a wedding) versus something not as joyous (like a divorce). Stange Law Firm, PC limits their practice to family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, guardianship, adoption, juvenile matters, collaborative law and other domestic relation matters. Stange Law Firm, PC gives clients 24/7 access to their case through a secured online case tracker found on the website. They also give their clients their cell phone numbers. Stange Law Firm, PC understands the emotions that can come from a divorce or family law matter. No matter the family law issue you face, we are here to help you rebuild your life.

WITH LANIE AND BRENT DRAPER
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW YOU GOT STARTED IN DESIGN AND ABOUT WHAT YOU DO. It all began when my husband and I started to establish who we were in our own home by experimenting with design. It didn’t take long to realize that we had found our passion of revitalizing homes and that we wanted to share it with others. Long story short, we began to receive phone calls asking for advice and if we’d be interested in home renovations. As we became rooted in our business, we quickly expanded form two to five, bringing what we were passionate about into the homes of others. We are now a full-service design, build and real estate firm eager to help our clients from home search to housewarming. WHAT ARE YOU SEEING AS THE BIGGEST CHANGES COMING FOR TRENDS IN DESIGN RIGHT NOW? Bring the outdoors in, 2018! What better setting to utilize this trend than at a lake house? Our Lake Lotawana home offers huge windows with lake views and large outdoor entertaining spaces that will make you feel like your lakeside all day. Besides, who doesn’t love a house filled with natural light? Wide plank floors are on trend right now, and we’re so excited they could make an appearance at the Lotawana house! They are sleek and lend a mature, authentic look, perfect for a cabin.

(CON TI N U ED)
HOW DID THE VISION FOR THIS PROJECT TAKE SHAPE? WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION? This home was built around the owner’s large family, as they wanted to create an oasis for relaxation that was also family-friendly. This home was built on the premises of blending functionality without ever feeling like your leaving the comfort of your own home—obviously with a wow factor. WERE THERE ANY CHALLENGES OR SURPRISES AS YOU DUG INTO THE PROJECT? While the house was getting framed, we discovered the immense size of the attic, which resulted in the conversion of the attic into a huge master suite. This gave us the opportunity to add a wet bar, additional laundry room, sitting area and balcony with views of the lake. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE PROCESS? We loved working alongside the owners to select finishes and furnishings. Their more traditional style blended with Rooted’s design aesthetic paired together beautifully to create a transitional and timeless look.

Lee’s Summit Lifestyle | March 2018
WHAT ASPECTS/FEATURES ARE THE HOMEOWNERS’ FAVORITE ADDITIONS WITH THIS FINISHED TRANSFORMATION? There’s a lot to love about this home. For starters, there’s an elevator! With the master suite consuming the entire fourth floor, it’s nice to have a ride to the top! This house was built for entertaining. The lowest level has a full kitchen, bedroom, laundry room and full bathroom so that guests don’t have to track any messes up to the main living quarters. This home also features balconies with panoramic views on every level. No matter where you’re at, you’ll have a gorgeous view. DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR OUR READERS WHO MAY WANT TO TRANSFORM A SPACE IN THEIR HOME? WHAT ARE EASY WAYS TO CHANGE THE LOOK OF A SPACE? Before going out and purchasing new furniture or decorations, rearrange what you already own! We are constantly doing this in our own home. Swapping out pillows, rugs or artwork can make your space feel entirely new.

T I P S BUYER TIP: Get set up with the market you are interested in even if you are a year out from buying. It helps educate you on what you can get for your budget so when you are ready to start shopping you go in confident and knowledgeable. It also saves you hours of your week not surfing Zillow and Trulia.
SELLER TIP: Don't be afraid to list in winter and summer markets. It's a misconception that homes don't sell during these time periods and often lower inventory drives price up for you.

MACRAMÉ Made through knotting instead of weaving, macramé can add a unique touch in many various ways. Houzz contributor Laura Gaskill suggests incorporating it as nursery decor, plant hangers, wall hangings and modern fiber arts. WICKER According to Houzz contributor Yanic Simard, “The best way to really embrace the luxury-cottage appeal of wicker and rattan is to combine different forms of the two in one space ...
