Hallmark’s David Jimenez shows his stuff…in Architectural Digest

• Architectural Digest

It’s a big thing for a Kansas City resident’s home to be featured in the pages of Architectural Digest, the ne plus ultra of glossy shelter magazines, which tends to focus on big-name subjects: celebrity designers and architects doing magnificent work for their celebrity clients. Or just the celebs, like Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig profiled in “A-Listers Discuss Their Favorite Rooms.”

In the 1970s, the magazine did a spread on the home of Shakespeare Festival founder Marilyn Strauss. But who was the last Kansas Citian to get the Architectural Digest treatment?

“I think it might have been the home of Eugene and Saurine Brown,” says Zim Loy, the editor of Spaces magazine. “But that would have been a long time ago.”

In this month’s issue of the magazine, the featured design story spotlights the beautiful Plaza apartment of Hallmark executive David Jimenez.
