As the leaves start to turn and the air gets crisp, there's no better time to get out and soak up all the fall fun the Kansas City area has to offer! At Schloegel Design Remodel, we're proud members of the local KC community, and we believe in putting our dollars back into the small businesses that make the metro shine. If you've spotted our door hangers in your KC neighborhood recently, you know what this is all about! To celebrate the season and help KC locals find the fun this season, we've put together the ultimate fall fun bucket list, which we're excited to now share digitally with all our KC friends. This is your essential guide to enjoying the season, getting cozy, and supporting local!

Autumn Aromatherapy
A cozy home starts with the senses! We love popping by the Corner Candle Shop in Brookside to check out their seasonal scents. We recently went to pick up their Fall Gift Box. It’s a set of four votives, a clear votive holder, and a book of matches for $25. The scents—Cloved Orange, Golden Fields, Pumpkin Chai, and Weekender—are the perfect host gift for a fall get together or a treat for yourself.
- Real World Tip: Candles can accent any room, but they look best when styled on a well-designed shelf or mantle. If your living room or fireplace needs an update, talk to our remodeling team about adding custom built-ins for that cozy, high-end fall look.
Raise a Festbier
Get into the Oktoberfest spirit right here in KC! We highly recommend sipping on a Festbier, the fall beer from KC Bier Co., which is known for its moderate noble bitterness and a bright, clean finish. This festive brew features biscuit, caramel, and honey malt flavors. If you spent your weekend at Oktoberfest maybe you've given it a try!
- Pro-Tip for Entertaining: This is the official beer of KC Oktoberfest! If you're hosting a game day or a fall gathering, nothing elevates the party like a custom wet bar. Our remodeling experts can design a dedicated space in your basement or dining area that’s perfect for pouring the perfect pint.
A Taste of Chiefs Kingdom
Game day just got sweeter! While you watch the next game, grab some cute Chiefs sugar cookies from Best Regards Bakery and Cafe in Overland Park. It’s a delicious way to support a great local business while celebrating our hometown team.
- Behind the Scenes: Game day snacks require ample counter space! If your current kitchen layout is leaving you crowded, it might be time for an kitchen refresh. We specialize in creating functional islands and open layouts that are built for entertaining—and for displaying all your Chiefs treats!
Enjoy a Warm Cup of Pumpkin Joe
Nothing beats the cozy ambiance of a local coffee shop, in Kansas City we're lucky to have so many incredible spots. One of our neighborhood favorites just a short drive from the Schloegel Office is Crows Coffee. This fall, try a Pumpkin Pie Latte from Crows Coffee and soak up the cozy ambiance and friendly company.
- Tip for Your Home: Creating a dedicated coffee or drink station is a popular remodel request. A quick call to our handyman services team can help you install floating shelves or a small beverage fridge, transforming a corner of your kitchen or office into a daily coffee retreat.
Stroll Loose Park
Sometimes the best fall fun is free and simple. Take time to admire the colorful changing leaves and breathe in the crisp fall air while taking in those pretty Kansas City views at Loose Park.
- Maintenance Reminder: Now that the weather is cooling down, it’s the perfect time to address exterior maintenance. If those views from your windows are feeling a little drafty, our handyman team can handle window sealing or replacement, gutter cleaning, or siding repairs to prepare your home for winter.
Pumpkin-Picking Perfection
Make a day of it! Head up north to Carolyn's Pumpkin Patch for some family fun. You can find the perfect pumpkin of any shape or size, then enjoy a full day of fun with train and carousel rides, a wagon ride to the fields, a Kid Zone, and all the snacks. Make sure to grab a farm-made pumpkin donut!
- Curb Appeal Check: Before the snow flies, refresh your front porch for those beautiful fall displays. Our handyman services can install new custom railings or paint your front door for maximum curb appeal to show off your pumpkin haul.
Get your Fall Baking on with this Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread Recipe
No fall checklist is complete without a new, irresistible recipe. We’re thrilled to share this Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread recipe—it’s a yummy fall dessert (or breakfast, no judgment!) from The Pioneer Woman.
- The Big Picture: If your oven is struggling to maintain that 350°F, or your kitchen layout makes baking feel like a chore, let’s talk! Our full-service remodeling team can design the spacious, high-efficiency kitchen you need to make holiday baking truly enjoyable.
