Chicago-based designers and home savvy shoppers know that one of the best places to shop in the Windy City for elegant homewares is Jayson Home & Garden. Located inside a vintage building, this shop sells a huge range of furniture including sofas, beds, rugs, accessories and oh, just about everything else. Jayson also sells garden accessories and curiosities including petrified wood and quirky prints. I love this Decatur chair ($1,250) but the whole range of upholstered chairs and sofas is gorgeous. And mark your calendars, because from April 17-19 Jayson will host a Flea Market selling goods sourced from the US, Argentina, Belgium and France. Those travelling to Chicago to shop can take advantage of a special offer from the James Hotel. Jayson Home & Garden, 1885 North Clybourn Avenue in Lincoln Park (there is also an expanded space across the courtyard at 1873 North Clybourn), Chicago, Illinois 60614. Phone: (773) 248-8180.
