Inside Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan’s Whimsical Home

Legendary window dresser Simon Doonan, who has a new book out, Drag, and is currently a judge on NBC’s Making It, and his husband, potter and furniture designer Jonathan Adler, open the door to their elegant, fantasy-filled apartment that serves up treats from their imaginations.

"Paranoia and surrealism all mixed into a lethal combination." Definitely the ideal moods for a bedroom.

Great couple. They obviously enjoy each other immensely.

“I like my taxidermy to be not real.” You and I both!

That place was amazing. SO thats what you get when you mix 2 designers. genius

Okay... so here’s the thing, these two need their own reality show!

Perfection. Must be so much fun to live in this place. And to be quite frank it all looks achievable. One could fake the eyes, mirror stuff, get simple graphic posters, decoupage an old piece of furniture. It really isn't about the expensive stuff, it's about having fun, mixing silly things but not allowing them to take over the apartment but curating them. Love this so much!

This is a couple that needs their own reality show. I adore them and the apartment.

When two creative people don't take themselves too seriously. Heaps of fun, what a hoot

I love this in a, “I would never decorate my place like this, but it’s gorgeous” kind of way 🤷🏾‍♀️ they both seem super fun!

I grinned the entire time watching this. So joyful, playful, and creative! It makes me look at what I can do in my house to elevate it. Love you Johnny and Slimon. 😉

Absolutely adore the whimsy of this space! It's everything I try to incorporate into my own home, as an artist ~ playfulness, lightness of being, the visual vocabulary of surrealism, the lambdawatusi of one's own inner visionary spirit projected outward as a nurturing environment of laughter, endless inspiration, flux & creativity ✨
Your dwelling space is a reflection of the interior space you inhabit...most definitely!

The glimpse of the eye lamp killed me. If It ever gets remade I will be the first in line. LOVE IT

[checkerz]

"an adult funhouse" that it is!! spectacular!! I love the dog looking in the mirror!!

Amazing! Loved Simon Doonan's book "Beautiful People" - and the fabulous, enthralling and magic BBC adaptation of it, and after watching this clip, I kind of get it, a look that combines elements of camp, luciousness, sultry decor, a childlike quality, mischief, cheapness, beauty and luxury. In equal amounts. Grand!

This is the epitome of Manhattan living. Glamourous, stylish, sexy and tonnes of fun.

I love how admits to having fakes just like the rest of us.

I watched this smiling the whole way through.... Yes, she did!
