I’ve been quite homesick ever since I returned from my long weekend visit to Dallas, so it was such a treat when I stumbled upon this issue of Papercity from May, 2004 as I was unpacking my office yesterday. As you know, I am positively obsessed with Jan Shower‘s work, and so for years I have saved this champagne cocktail of an article that features tastemaker Kimberly Schlegel‘s glamorous and chic apartment, where she lived before becoming Mrs. Kimberly Schlegel Whitman. Today, Kimberly serves as a lifestyle expert, party planner, editor-at-large of Southern Living, and social media aficionado. If you don’t already, you will want to follow her fabulous blog. She has exquisite taste!
Let’s take a look inside Kimberly’s former bachelorette pad! You may recognize several of the treasures, as they were moved to the Whitman’s current home, also designed by Jan Showers and featured in Traditional Home.

This whole house is amazing, but that home office is to die for! love it!!
Always adore what Jan Showers creates! Its always sophisticated and a little feminine!
Absolutely stunning!!
I love Jan and everything she does. Girlfriend has style dripping from her fingertips.
She has such a distinctive flair – always love her work! Loving all of the art ~
That office is absolutely amazing! I would never want to leave!!!
I love that is was a Bachelorette pad, I would love to design one of those!!!!
Beautiful! Love Jan Showers I saw her at an event the other day…..and remember seeing her wedding in some big magazine before I even knew who she was.
What a beautiful space!
Thank you so much for posting this! I brought back fun memories from my time in that home. Y'all are right – Jan is the best. I adore her and I can't tell you how grateful I feel to be able to live in a home that has her touch.
