You would think someone like me who loves Bauhaus minimalism, midcentury design and pines for a Barcelona Chair wouldn't be into all of Jonathan's colors. Oh no! I am! I am! I am!
Everything that I have read about Jonathan's great style is true from the looks of this fabulous shop. Jonathan is a design sweetheart. Sure, he speaks to the current zeitgeist of reclaiming trendy stuff from the 70s (like needlepoint pillows), but I know he will continue to wow the design world when tastes change. Stango, who is my husband and sometimes a pessimist, said it is all too obvious and wasn't as impressed as me.
Like, when I showed him this awesome wall from the back of the shop, he wasn't too psyched:

I loved the wallpaper in the junior section downstairs which caters to the younger set. It reminded me of the wallpaper from my own 1970s room as a baby, but after texting her the image of it from the store, my mom disagreed. Hopefully I will upload a photo of it here one day and you will see where I was going with that. At least nice women in the shop gave me a sample. What was I gonna do with the sample?

Finally, at the entrance of the shop, they were selling Simon Doonan's book. In case you didn't get the memo, Jonathan and Simon are married. Simon is also a design guy. He is a big guy at Barney's. Haven't I already told you somewhere on my blog that I love W Magazine and that's where I get a lot of good info? But remember to read the articles more than study the fashion. Don't focus too much on the photos, other than for art's sake. I'm not joking, BTW. There's a lot of narishkeit (nonsense) there.

| if you go to his website www.simondoonan.net/home you can buy it there! |
I guess if it is your own store, you can sell your husband's stuff up front and center.
