6 Golden Home Goods Favorites from Barneys New York

Irwin Weiner ASID - Shopping for home goods is a non-guilty pleasure for me - and likely for you, too. Homeowners love to feather their nests, and bring home a cute score like some tricked-out napkin rings to set a more dramatic table (see the Kim Seybert Supernova Napkin Ring from Barneys New York above).
