Nestled in a 1940s Maurice Fatio-designed British Colonial gem, the home reflects both Jonathan’s love of clean, modern forms and Simon’s penchant for groovy, glam-rock flair. Though modest in scale, the house is bursting with personality, from mint-green walls and sculptural Adler-designed furniture to irreverent decorative touches like needlepoint pillows emblazoned with surrealist motifs and cheeky iconography.
Outside, overgrown garden beds mingle with sharp, geometric hardscaping, framing a Neutra-inspired turquoise pool and lemon-yellow sunshades that radiate retro charm. The couple describes their home as a “dollhouse,” filled with art, humor, and a palpable sense of fun. With treasures like a brass snail sculpture and pop-art lamps every corner celebrates their distinctive aesthetic. Simon and Jonathan’s whimsical approach extends beyond design-it’s a lifestyle. Whether it’s entertaining friends or relaxing with their rescue dog, Foxy Lady, the couple’s home is a celebration of creativity and fun, blending their shared love of art, humor, and style into a one-of-a-kind retreat.
Jonathan Adler is a celebrated designer, potter, and author known for his bold, playful, and glamorous approach to interiors. He launched his career in 1993 with a line of pottery at Barneys New York, quickly gaining acclaim for his quirky yet sophisticated designs. Since then, Adler has expanded into furniture, lighting, textiles, and home accessories, creating a global lifestyle brand synonymous with modern American chic. His work blends vibrant colors, eclectic patterns, and tongue-in-cheek details, reflecting his philosophy that design should be both beautiful and fun. In addition to running his eponymous brand, Adler has authored several books and collaborated with prominent brands, solidifying his reputation as a leading figure in contemporary design.
Simon Doonan is a renowned writer, style icon, and creative visionary celebrated for his wit and eclectic approach to fashion and design. Best known for his tenure as the creative director of Barneys New York, where his groundbreaking window displays became legendary, Doonan brought humor, irreverence, and artistry to retail design. Beyond Barneys, he has authored several books, including Confessions of a Window Dresser and The Camp 100, blending memoir, humor, and cultural commentary. A regular columnist and television personality, Doonan's influence extends into the worlds of style and pop culture, where his unique perspective and sharp wit continue to inspire and entertain.

Dear Simon and Jon,
Thank you for taking us on this tour of your beautiful home! As a 62 y.o. gay man, it brings me such happiness to see the delights you find in each other!
I moved to NYC in my early 30s and watched and envied Simon's ascendance with Barneys. When my BFF and Soulmate, Michael Chase (another gifted soul) - started working with him (I `'Believe ' it was the Cher windows) he couldn't have been more thrilled and proud to be working with you!
Michael's unexpected passing and Simon's generosity during that time will never be forgotten.
Simon is a true gentleman, Jonathan is talented beyond belief and I wish you both all the happiness in the world!
Thank you again- this made my day!
I had no idea his partner was Jon Adler. Growing up in the early 2000s, I was a kid who exclusively watched fashion content and carried a sketchbook around, all while admiring figures like Carson Kressley and Simon Doonan. Now, seeing the home tours of people I loved watching on fashion TV (interiors is now my favorite hobby) makes that little kid inside me so happy.
What a lovely couple. You adore your home as much as each other.
Let us not forget their precious little dog.
Charming visit with the three of them.
I absolutely love Jonathan & Simon, they are both super talented, super charming, love their home 💕💕
The two of you are a terrific couple! Also, you home is fab!
This was the perfect example of PURE JOY! SO FUN. Probably my favorite episode of Homeworthy. Thank you for featuring Jonathan and Simon. They are so inspiring. 😊❤
Love these two lovely, creative men!!!! Love the love they have for each other and their dog, too!!! Wonderful home tour!!!!
“A house is not a home without a hanging chair!” - so true! Thanks for the fun tour…..
Hardly a boring couple. Very refreshing humor.
Both of you are just the cutest! May you have happily ever after forever! ❤❤
I think Jonathan Adler is such a sweet soul. I love his creativity and joy. But mostly his love for Simon. What an amazing couple with a unique and beautiful home. Love this video.
Found myself smiling the ENTIRE time. Luv the way the home reflects the energy of Simon & Jonathan. What a duo!
One of the best ones yet! Love Jonathan and Simon! Utterly delightful people!
You too are so much fun! Loved this episode of Homeworthy. What a fun home you have.
Hilariously Authentic, what a wonderful couple of likeminded souls, congrats on your 30th anniversary! You are a true example of two likeminded yet juxtapositional souls meet, life is a party and your home reflects the both of you in and out! ❤❤❤
What a sweet dog!!!!!!
Beautiful!!! Love Jonathan Adler!!!!.... Enjoyed Simon too
Such a Stunning home!!!
The house is terrific but the owners are totally fabulous, campy, cute and perfect together. I so enjoyed this video. I think it my favorite of all, so far. Cute dog, too! How lucky and blessed to create such a joyful life doing exactly what one wants to do.
What a fun, warm, happy couple... with the home to match!
FANTASTIC. Could they be any more real and adorable.😍
Everything about them, their story and their house is exquisite; so glamourous and sophisticated, but with so much character and humour. And of course the most important part of a fabulous house is a wonderful dog.
Loved when you said "your home should always look more interesting then you are" boy did that hit home! Just what I need in my boring home! Thsnk you so much for this visit - your home is so interesting and different.
What II loved most was this couple''s relationship! How beautiful. The house is unique, the setting is gorgeous and their creativity is seen everywhere!
I love Jonathan Adler ❤ One of my favorite designers.
What a delightful couple, extraordinary men. Thoroughly enjoyed this content!
I loved the artistry in their home! Then, got to thinking of a candle I bought at an Estate Sale… Jonathan Adler. Very cool… thank you
No idea they were together! They're two of my favorite creatives. If I ever was gonna set up two people it would be them 🎉
My favorite couple! Ive bought my husband both jonathan and simons books.
The amount of gratitude that Jonathan has is so beautiful, I can understand why he’s been blessed so abundantly✨ How in love am I with this couple? Totally! I’ve seen several home interior tours featuring this beautiful pair, and each time I fall deeper and more madly in love with them, individually and together.💞 And the amount of talent they have is so extraordinary, I feel they are such a gift to this world! I’m here for it, thank you‼️
I love everything about this. These two beautiful men with their beautiful things and their beautiful life. God blessed.
You can see that they are making every second count. They know that time with each other is a gift.
It's a countdown LOL
Your love and respect for each other is beautiful!
They are the definition of design inspiration.
Their house is authentic and unapologeticaly reflects their personalities. We see so many design projects that are utterly unimaginative and just a combo of "what's in right now". Thank you for the lovely tour.
oh my ..this home, the colors, the deep green and light green vibe throughout is absolutely perfect in every way. Thank you for sharing your walk through with us
I'm from Norway and have collected some of Jonathan Adler's work during years. I like his design and the way he decorated his house. ❤
One of the most unique and beautifully decorated homes I have encountered. This home is not like any I have seen before. I love its airiness and brightness. Eccentric glamour is the perfect definition of Jonathan´s and Simon´s Palm Beach home!
A true artists home. Loved this Homeworthy tour. The glass "Light Bulbs" with the faces caught my eye.Too cute. I try to incorporate more whimpsy into my home...like you said you decorate for you not anyone else. I bought a Joe Spencer Halloween doll...paid a lot for it. Petra sits in a living room chair. Makes me smile every time I see it.
What a beautiful and very charming couple, and I LOVE their home!
The humility and gratitude you both present is very lovely.
Absolutely charming couple❤
I loved you two, I’ve heard of Jonathan all my adult life and thought he’d be the most posh person. I didn’t have any idea of who he is and what a delight. After thirty years and you can still feel the love and respect.
"I basically became a prairie woman" made me snort out loud ... loved this house tour and loved these two gentlemen. Divine
I've watched so many of these and this is by far the funnest. I knew about Simon, having read his books and seen him speak (via UA-cam), and love visiting the Jonathan Adler store in Orange County CA. Such joy they bring to each other and now to us!
It is truly the most groovy, trippy home!
By the way, I LOVE the lady with the peacock feathers in the bathroom! What a wonderful couple!
Sir Simon is the greatest so talented!!!! He was our creative Director when I did Visual at Barney’s New York. Thank you for making Barney’s the most creative and best place ❤❤❤❤
So interesting to see the interior styling of such talented men. Fantastic home. 💜🩷💙
One of the best houses ever.
Always been a huge J. A. Fan!! I like everything he likes!!! Also how is he so adorable
I couldn't get enough of that. Thank you!
Loved watching this, and you both are so inspiring!!! As Jonathan said "Only in America". Thanks for sharing your gorgeous home and all the beauty in it!!!
Huge congrats on your anniversary you too glamorous boys! I own a lot of your furniture and absolutely adore it Jonathan. Thank you. Hugs from Ireland 💚🤘🥳
Wow, LOVE these 2 ❤
I love how he uses his own designs every where🥰🥰
Adler is always inspiring to me. I’ve watched his journey over the years with interest. Love his aesthetic, though it’s very different from mine. He and Simon are quite the dynamic duo! Loved this tour, lots of inspiration here, thank you Homeworthy!
What a great couple they make me smile and I can understand what is said in regards to where they started and where they are now.
Great,enjoy.
Loved this. What a satisfying episode: art, design, books, interesting commentary, a beautiful relationship and a gorgeous dog!
I have no words! I LOVE EVERYTHIng about this episode!
I've loved Jonathan's creativity and interior design for ages...one of my most cherished and favourite items , I had to save for, was his Dollar sculpture...Love you both ❤
I love this home it’s so happy ! Jonathan and Simon are an awesome couple ❤❤❤
This was wonderful, my short attention span butt actually watched this from start to finish. May you guys have at least 30 more fantastic years together!
what a treat! loved every minute of this episode. I bought a JA Vase in SOHO NY which I carried like a baby on the Train ride to Upstate NY followed by 3 looooong flights back to Sydney AU! Looking at it now, watching this episode utter delight, so exciting!
My favorite Homeworthy!
What an enchanting couple and their background stories; and a beautiful happy home. Loved it and this couple. One of the great home tours.
Beautiful, gorgeous home!!! ❤
What a cheerful, goooooorgeous color pallet!!! Your home is filled with such delightful objects!!! Such a happy home, I love everything about it!!!
What a great couple,so creative. Fantastic home - the art is exciting ❤❤❤
Humour , dérision, et pas mal de subversion... Le coup des pilules grand format et des champignons partout.......... J'adore ! Une heure de bonheur à regarder les 2 habitants de cette superbe maison décrire leur coups de cœur en se renvoyant la balle.
Such a good episode - I was crying laughing and rewinding multiple times. Totally different style than mine but LOVED
Can I echo this is the best episode ever! Didn't know these two were a couple, but yes, a couple made in heaven in a dreamy and trippy home. They also have two of the most creative souls who trodden this earth living with them -- Prince and Michael Jackson
WOW! Hands up! STUNNING!
Super wonderful! It absolutely sparks joy! Swag on..
Jonathan I wish every young person trying to find their purpose could hear your story.
Your compulsion to make beautiful things is conveyed in such a humble way it makes me appreciate your work more.
Beautiful home and beautiful people.❤❤❤
I love this house tour you guys are the best. I see Jonathan Adler pieces in stores. They’re a bit pricey, but I always admire them and now I really love knowing the personality in the backstory behind what he’s thinking when he designs and I’m definitely gonna figure out about purchasing a pillow, or a little tray or something.
Love ,love this home. The colour , the whimsy , the Art , the playfulness. You could spend weeks looking at each piece and knowing the stories behind them.
Great and interesting tour.
Wonderful hosts and a beautiful home. What an incredible collection of art and furnishings. Love that it is so bright and colorful. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are two wonderful lucky souls together!!!! A dream to have you as friends..... Much love from Maria again living in Marseilles
Your house is so wonderful! The colours, the art, your créations, everything! Soo inspiring.....
You two are perfectly adorable ❤️ Love the home you've made together!
Wow, my dream house. Love Adler's style. What a down to earth nice guy.
this is so wonderful! i am reading ASYLUM right now! laughing and loving this voice from past NYC days, as a 71 years young gal. I miss Barneys here in LA. Something is working out because of the synchronicity of meeting you both here. WOW. you are so lucky to have met! Your place is fun & fabulous as you all are. eccentric glamor! so true. AND i have so much reading to do. ja dore! ahhhahahaaa
Love them and their beautiful home. My kind of aesthetic
Beautiful and delightful!!!!!!!😊
🩵 🌴 🌊 I have watched hundreds of these videos and I must say this is my absolute favorite! I have a coastal beachy house in SoCal and I love your aesthetic! 🧜🏾♀️ but what I love the most is your love 💓 boring? You guys are hilarious 😂 I found myself laughing out loud in loving your home. Can I come over Lol thank you so much 🏡
I could watch this all day and every day. What a pair of authentic, creative and inspiring men. Love your home and that workout on the terrace-- come on!! Patent it! Thanks much.
One of my favorite pieces call Jonathan's was the aorta vase. I unfortunately lost several of these pieces in a fire. Congrats on your home and 30 years together!!!
Truly an artist home!! Groovey
What a charming couple! Love Jonathan's creations!
what a great relationship & i love little Foxy. Thanks & Simon, Tai Chi is calming to watch, beautiful and the movements open the meridians of the body-very healing.So, kudos!
I’m madly in love with everything Jonathan makes too! And that Kitchen❤❤❤
Lots of exciting things. FAB
OH MY GOD I loooooovvvveeeee. Simon's backstory made me love him even more. I love this couple so much. I have to now get this book. . I live to dream and fashion was where I escaped to and still do when I needed to re imagine my life. You CAN creatively visualise a life less ordinary. This is so Palm Beach yet also much much cooler due to both of their incredible creativity.
The doggie is in seventh heaven belly rub in his beautiful house 🤣🧡👏🏾
So humble as well, no one would ever dislike you. So grateful you live in paradise with bananas. You make me smile.
Love this tour! Your creativity and humbleness shines through!
Great house, great , charming couple!
Wonderful! I have been an admirer of their work for many years. 💙🦋🦋
I love it!!
I have some of his pieces and my house is mostly traditional and I love it. He is incredibly talented. ❤ Thank you Homeworthy so letting us into their home. Wonderful to hear the story of how they met.
Gosh, I love Jonathan Adler
Jonathan and his partner are so in love 30years later. It's beautiful to watch. Beautiful and unique home
