Lee Stanton is one of Los Angeles' leading arbiters of style and the premier purveyor of fine period antiques to prominent interior decorators and discriminating clients nationwide. For years, his San Juan Capistrano warehouse was a go-to for those in the know on the look out for 17th-19th century antiques. Early morning lines would form hours before doors opened, as news of fresh crates from Europe, spread through out the city.
Knowing that so many of his clients traveled from the Los Angeles area, Stanton, decided to open doors along the prominent, La Cienega design corridor. Stanton's lovely and down to earth demeanor coupled with his generosity to share his vast knowledge, will have you immediately understand why he is held in such high regard.
Stanton was gracious enough to sit with us and chat about antiques, design, his own history and the up coming Legends of La Cienega design event- of which he is one of the founders. {for more information please see their website: Legends of La Cienega }

So strange, I just left a message on Joni's email asking when this would be "aired" and low and behold, here it is, but I cannot get it to download, is there a problem?
Looking forward to hearing a fresh interview.

So sorry, I got it to work, so no problems!
Thanks, listening as we speak.

Here's a third for good measure: It's very encouraging to learn about "Legends of La Cienega." Not many places have the critical mass to do all this but most places can do something.
Thanks again. -TK

one year! How did that happen? loved Scott last week and can't wait to listen to Lee with you three this week....keep up the great work ladies!
The "hand on the piece" rule does apply around here, as well. Makes for very funny positions while trying to view a piece from a far, when one shops alone.:) xoxo as always, fabulous work.
With thanks,
Jennifer
I am downloading Lee Stanton's interview on my iphone as we speak. I can't wait to listen to it on my walk tomorrow morning! His store is one of our favorites.
