1 Welcome to Jayson Home & Garden, located at 1885 N. Clybourn Ave. in Chicago, IL.

2 Isn't it lovely? Jayson Home is one of those stores you could get lost in for hours.

3 I love when a showroom is thoughtfully and creatively arranged, and especially when their colors are united.

4 Retro swivel chairs and a low side-table look relaxed and comfortable.

5 Vintage containers would be unique flower vases or candy jars.

6 Blankets: I am ready for cozying-up weather!

7 I love the tressle pattern on these vintage hat boxes. The smattering of sizes reminds me of my Hermes box collection.

8 Jayson Home has a nice selection of candles.

9 I love this seat with its swath of animal print and gold glamour (and it's on sale!).

10 Stone hearts make great paperweights.

11 I love this line of ceramics; the glossy finish on top is supported by an unglazed underside that make each piece feel one-of-a-kind.

12 I love the rustic simplicity of wood, leather and fur. This is such a unique piece!

13 Cups and saucers made from horn are rimmed in gold and silver.

14 These dishes are so lovely. The petals remind me of flames and flowers all at once.

15 Antique keys are a good reminder that every vintage item has a whole story.

16 These glass covers can hold any number of decorative items. I love the dimpled metal surface they're resting on.

17 These lucite antlers are funky and mod.

18 More antlers, in clever flower arrangements using awesome amber jars.

19 Feather-tipped pens are pretty and useful.

20 Their rug room is heaped with incredibly beautiful tapestries.

21 These animal fur options add instant contrast and intensity to a space.

22 These mirrors are hanging on a wall in the rug room. The shapes are so simple and beautiful.

23 Silhouette dishes and a great read decorate this catchy ottoman.

24 More of these wonderful amber vases.

25 The gifting potential at Jayson Home is high. Love the cork notebooks.

26 Numbered metal tins for collecting and organizing.

27 Cleverly designed pencil holders make pretty desk decorations.

28 Golden wishbones; if that doesn't bring you luck I don't know what will!

29 This brass spot light lamp adds a nice accent to a room.

30 Vintage green chairs, with caning or upholstery.

31 Bright square cushions beckon for lounging about.

32 Aren't these green velvet chair chic?

33 Don't these display capsules remind you of my skull centerpiece? I love how tall they are!

34 The Garden section of Jayson Home is just as lavishly filled with treasures as the showroom.

35 Antique cutting boards; I don't even cook, but Martha would love these.

36 I always gravitate towards furniture with interesting finishes and colors. That large corner piece has caught my eye.

37 Such a modern design for this little roll-top desk; I'm thinking of Jude!

38 I'm really into taxidermy these days. This stuffed bird is completely amazing.

39 The bedding at Jayson Home is so refreshing, with patterns and fabrics that are just in keeping with the store's theme.

40 Another cluster of antlers. I like the idea of showcasing single items in those glass pieces.

41 Geometric silver platters and bowls break up the usual circle-plate-norm.

42 This woven lamp-base and shade are nautical and refreshing.

43 I love how they've filled this piece with firewood.

1 This is taken outside the shop--I love the font of Jill's sign.

2 Here I am with Ayesha Patel and Rebecca Robertson.

3 You can get a sense of how vast the store is in this picture.

4 I love the color of this Allmoge armchair from Norway circa 1800.

5 Isn't the interior of this unique cabinet beautiful?

6 Exquisite!

7 The shape of this clock is so unique.

8 The juxtaposition of these chairs with this cabinet is what Jill does so well.

9 Isn't this sconce designed by Poul Henningsen amazing?

10 and this butterfly chandelier is unbelievable! Designed in the 1930's, it is truly timeless.

11 This leather wing chair is 19th Century Swedish design.

12 This Baroque cabinet from Sweden circa 1740-1760 is on of my favorite pieces in the shop.

13 I love its blue interior.

14 I have always been obsessed with columns and this is a gorgeous one.

15 This French standing lamp designed by Mathieu Mategot would look great in my apartment wouldn't it?

16 These are show stoppers.

17 I love the arms of this chair.

18 This Gustavian mirrored sconce (one of a pair) is circa 1780-1795.

19 Jill is a master lines--she mixes clean and ornate in such an interesting way.

20 Isn't it interesting how Jill broke up the space by painting blocks of grey to create backdrops for the pieces.

21 This is such a pretty candle holder.

22 This is such a gorgeous silhouette it dates from 1760.

23 These dark candles are one of the store's signatures.

24 The shape of these stools is so elegant and unique.

25 This tea table has long been coveted by many Martha Stewart employees.

26 This is another great juxtaposition.

27 This Gustavian Sofa is from northern Sweden. I love the corner design.

28 BOOKS! Jill has a vast selection available for purchase.

29 She also has curated a collection Danish and Swedish mid-century ceramics.

30 Beautiful!

31 Ayesha looks right at home in this Grasshopper lounge chair.

32 She even has the perfect silver vessel for her cards.
