Kimberly Schlegel Whitman hails from a long tradition of designers and entertainers in Dallas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kim became a customer of Jan Showers when she was just 23 years old. She was a debutante fresh out of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Jan recognized Kim\u2019s exceptional taste from the start of their first endeavour together, a little flat. \u201cShe bought absolutely beautiful pieces\u201d Showers recalls, pointing Whitman toward sophisticated 1940s French furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is their sixth project together. Kim wanted this to be full of colour and pattern, and the two succeeded. \u201cWe\u2019ve always been on the same wavelength,\u201d Showers explains. \u201cI\u2019m a lot older than she is, but Kim\u2019s an old soul.\u201d This almost 10,000-square-foot mansion is on nearly two acres in Dallas\u2019 Preston Hollow area. It\u2019s a terrific place to throw parties and entertain, which Kim enjoys doing. The Whitmans found the initial location of the late-1990s house to be austere and intimidating. Showers delivered on her promise to renovate the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For graciousness and even humour, Dallas architect J. Wilson Fuqua included elaborate crown mouldings and other architectural flourishes\u2014some of the mouldings represent tassels and latticework. Showers painted the majority of the walls a soft, silky white, creating an open canvas for the Whitmans\u2019 vibrant modern art collection as well as antiques and new furniture items from the Jan Showers Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bluffview Residence<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This 3,000-square-foot contemporary home in the Dallas Bluffview area was completed in 2014. The architect <\/a>was Svend Fruit of Bodron + Fruit. Because it is surrounded by trees and beautiful landscaping, the house is nearly concealed from the street. Showers clients discovered they were now empty nesters and bought this house<\/a> in 2016 after downsizing from a 6,000-square-foot Highland Park home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy client has a sophisticated eye,\u201d Showers said \u201cThe key was finding a balance between what she already had and new pieces.\u201d The clients wanted to warm up the property, which was already contemporary and elegant. This property features a lovely blend of antiques and new Jan Showers Collection items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jan Showers and her husband Jim own this 1970s-era townhouse in Dallas\u2019 Turtle Creek neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before moving into the townhouse in 2001, Showers refurbished and decorated it. Jan\u2019s home is packed with everything she adores, from mid-century modernism to 1940s French design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showers\u2019 house contains numerous early items from her to-the-trade collection, the Jan Showers Collection. Jan has an eye for antiques and has been collecting artefacts from her journeys to Europe for the past 20 years. Their master bedroom, which is decorated with de Gournay\u2019s willow wallpaper, is her favourite room in the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paradise Valley<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A twelve-acre parcel was purchased, kicking off an eight-year project for Jan Showers and Marwan Al-Sayed, the architect, and his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jan Showers and Marwan Al-Sayed worked well together, and the Delaneys were involved in all interior design and architectural decisions since Mr. Delaney might easily have been an architect himself. He envisioned a home that appeared to be a ruin that had been turned into a habitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outside stone, which also serves as the inside walls, was chosen with great care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Interior<\/a>

Interior design and establishing a pleasant atmosphere were important to the Delaneys, so we chose light wood floors and vintage Persian carpets throughout the house to create an appealing feel in each room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eye-level lighting and Delaney\u2019s extensive art collection all enhance the space\u2019s sense of intimacy and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jan Showers bought chandeliers from Europe for use throughout the house\u2019s interior design. Marc Heiremanns, a leading expert and trader in vintage and antique Murano glass, supplied several of the old chandeliers. The vintage glass adds a nice contrast to the stone walls and the soft texture of the carpets. The sculptural brass chandelier in the dining room is a Van Heeck masterwork that the Jan Showers team discovered in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior design was completed with excellent vintage furniture, lamps, wall hangings, and accessories, largely from France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their Paradise Valley home is the third full interior design project we have completed for the Delaney family, and it is one of the greatest projects and proudest triumphs of Jan Showers\u2019 interior design career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
