After moving out of a big house with too much stuff, Karen Kelly finds it’s never too late for your very first space.
Karen Kelly went straight from a dorm to a starter apartment in Brentwood Forest with her new husband. By the time they divorced, years later, they were living in a big house crammed with stuff. About to live alone for the first time, Kelly went apartment hunting—and fell in love with an 850-squarefoot one-bedroom in Clayton on the Park.
“You can make this work,” promised the community director, Penny Wagner, who lives there herself—and loves clothes and shoes every bit as much as Kelly does.
And so began the Great Purge.
Luckily, Kelly, who’s the general sales manager at KMOX-AM, is a whiz at organizing: “I go to my friends’ houses and wind up cleaning out their refrigerators. ” She went up, adding high shelves in her three closets (one of which contains a small washer/dryer). Then she went low, adding a pole to hang her boots. For off-season and formal clothes, she made the inspired purchase of three high-gloss white IKEA armoires. Side by side, with handles changed out for slender bars of Grecian gold, the set’s chic enough for the living room.

Cut from the Same Cloth
âTurkey Tracksâ is a 19th-century quiltmaking pattern that has the appearance of little wandering feet. Patterns like the tracks, and their traditions and myths, have been passed down through the generations, from their frontier beginnings to today, where a generation of makers has embraced the material as a means of creating something new. Olivia Jondle is one such designer. Here, sheâs taken an early turkey track-pattern quilt, cut it into various shapes, and stitched the pieces together, adding calico and other fabric remnants as needed. The result is a trench coat she calls the Pale Calico Coat. Her designs are for sale at The Rusty Bolt, Jondleâs small-batch fashion company based in St. Louis. âSAMANTHA STEVENSON
