1907 Kansas City Home
"From the first day, I've been immersed in the culture of Kansas City," says David Jimenez. Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority alumnae asked Jimenez to open his 1907 house for their annual Holiday House Tour, even though tradesmen were still working on it. He decorated all four floors in less than a month — for charity.

Portico
Jimenez wanted the portico of his 1907 Kansas City house to give "a nod to old Hollywood." To create bold contrast, he installed a diamond-patterned tile floor and added black and white awning stripe pillows to Restoration Hardware furniture. The mirrored coffee table is a flea market find.

Living Room
The living room beautifully illustrates the way Jimenez adds layers and textures to a room to give it character. Unmatched chairs — he likes the added chic of mismatching — mix with loved objects, books, and a collection of midcentury charcoal drawings and photographs.

Foyer
The massive moldings and columns in the living room and entry wear their original dark stain. Grass cloth wallpaper delineates the foyer, and Jimenez added a mirror top to the reproduction round pedestal table in the entry.

Sunroom
In the sunroom, big banana-leaf wing chairs and wall-to-wall sea-grass carpet complement a Pottery Barn pedestal table — perfect for sunset cocktails.

Library
Brown silk chairs from Jonathan Adler flank a Williams-Sonoma Home leather ottoman in the library. The turquoise lamp is one of a pair from the 1960s.

Library
Jimenez loves to entertain. He has more than one favorite spot in the house, and each sets a different stage. The library, for instance, is "dark, warm, and the sound of the stereo is very bass-y."

Attic
Jimenez reclaimed the previously unused attic (he calls it "the loft") and filled it with casual upholstered pieces from his former San Francisco house and a grand piano from a Kansas City thrift shop.

Master Bedroom
In the master bedroom, Jimenez's neutral color palette is enhanced by the surprise of all-black flea market chairs. Secretary is Williams Sonoma Home.

Guest Bedroom
The tiny guest bedroom is the only room in the house given a deep wall color, Benjamin Moore's Starry Night Blue. For contrast, Jimenez upholstered a wing chair in white leather, and painted a vintage Chinese stool in high-gloss white.

Master Bathroom
In the master bath, a Swedish-style chair covered in white vinyl substitutes for a towel bar. Walls are tiled from floor to ceiling in beveled-edge subway tile.

Spalike Bathroom
"I love the idea of stepping into a bathroom and having it feel like a spa," says Jimenez. Counters and floor tiles are Calacatta Gold marble.

Dressing Room
For his dressing room, Jimenez rejected built-ins in favor of a large antique armoire. The double pedestal table is a Palm Springs thrift shop find that he painted black.
