Kendall Jenner’s LA home appears on the cover of Architectural Digest this month, and it brings several surprises, as well as serious food for thought in terms of design. First, it’s just not very Kardashian. Where’s the pristine all-white living room, the lashings of marble, the blinging chandeliers?
