LENEXA, Kan. — At first glance, Meggan Smith’s metal decor is a little rough around the edges.
But as she sands down the metal in her workshop, it resembles the Kansas City Royals from last season.
With 106 losses in 2023, the team needed to be smoothed out.
Smith said since starting her business, Mrs. Pallet Decor, about seven years ago, her customers have wanted to decorate with more Arrowheads than Crowns.
“Me being Kansas City born and raised, it kind of has blossomed in the Kansas City theme stuff,” Smith said. “Kind of coming off of the Royals win too from 2015, so people were still excited about the Royals, but then the Chiefs really amped up things a lot.”
Smith’s decor has shifted in recent weeks with the hot streak the Royals have put together.
After doing a recent fall makers show, Smith sold out of her Royals decor and realized she needed to increase her inventory.
