Home Tour || David Jimenez
October 02, 2013
There is so much information available in today's world that sometimes you need to see things a few times to really notice something. I was reviewing David Jimenez's Kansas city home and really got to appreciate every little detail this second time around so much more. I love his use of screens, pedestals, gallery walls, moldings, and wall colors. Did I mention wall colors?
I also how he hangs paintings all the way to the bottom of the wall. It just makes the space look so rich. His home cozy, chic, and elegant without being stuffy. That peacock blue room used to be the maid quarters which he turned into a dressing room. But really, I just want to lay in his living room rug and do snow rug angels.
His color choices are perfection in my aesthetic world. They just had to be that color and they could not be painted any other way. Finding the right wall color is not easy especially when its a bold color like the ones he has here. I chose an amazing eggplant kind of color for my dining room. Everyone who sees it, adores it and comments on it. If I ever move (and I will!) I'm painting my dining room the same color again. You don't mess with that perfect color choice.
What do you think of David's home? You want to make it yours? or not really? It's interesting that he is an executive at Hallmark cards. Imagine if he were an interior designer full-time and it wasn't just an extracurricular!

that bathroom is divine! and that aqua screen - i want!
ReplyDeleteI love how he uses screens in many rooms. They are so simple, and add such an air of glamor to the room! All of these rooms are truly stunning!
ReplyDeleteI love this home. I am not sure I could live in such a formal setting. I think my favorite feature is in the bathroom. I definitely want that bathroom! I love the recessed towel shelves. That is the type of detail I would search out and implement.
ReplyDeleteThis home is perfection! I love the glossy blue walls, and that bedroom, just so glamorous!
ReplyDeleteI love this home and true I've seen it before but I fall in love with something new in it each time. He has exquisite taste.
ReplyDeleteDavid's home is so fabulous. I love the floor to ceiling art and the screens. I actually had the pleasure of meeting him a few months ago, right after the AD article came out, and he was as nice and as charming as you would imagine. Sadly, Kansas City is losing him to San Fransisco (I believe...), but it was nice to see KC design highlighted while he was here!
ReplyDeleteMore than obsessed with the wall color in the living room. And that bathroom!!!! Dying.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love this work!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the eclectic feel of this home. wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove his use of the screens. Really everything is just so gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteHe definitely has the eye for doing the job full time! These are a win for me. I think they are gorgeous without being stuffy, as you said. I'm in love with that small library and the bathroom. I've never seen marble/brick before!
ReplyDeleteCompletely brilliant with color! They are the perfect smoky grays. That peacock room is a fave of mine too, I mean the chandy + draper chest + paint is just deadly!
ReplyDeleteI love it, and I love all the art he uses! What beautiful elements in each room.
