Kendall Jenner Gets Comfortable With Colorful Florals and Graphic Patterns in her Mountain Getaway

In a way, this singular piece—in Jenner’s first ground-up build, designed with Bay Area architect Kirby Lee—represents everything Jenner wanted out of her “getaway home.” Jenner was craving a rural escape to spend homey summer weekends with friends that felt well-loved and lived in, as if had been there for a while.
“I had a vision. It was a house full of people squeezed onto a couch for game night,” she says. “On one of my first trips there, it happened. I had friends who were staying nearby who came over kind of spontaneously. It made me damn near emotional. I had this dream, and it happened in a home that I built. It was very fulfilling.”
Jenner fell in love with the “energy” of the area during a visit and bought the property on a whim, around five years ago. A self-described “horse girl,” she spent childhood summers in Wyoming, and lives for active days outdoors. At the time, there was a neglected home on-site that she considered restoring. After a walk-through with a builder, it was determined unsalvageable, and the hunt for a design team began. “When doing any home, I love making things collaborative, and my choice in designer is extremely intentional,” she says. “I know that I’m going to be highly involved and extremely picky.”
