Retail Profile: Ann Gish, Manhattan

A few weeks ago, Gish invited friends, buyers and press in town for the New York gift fair to a big "thank you" party at her new digs in Manhattan's Flatiron District. The new Ann Gish retail store, wholesale showroom and design studio officially opened in June. The 4,000-sq.-ft. showroom is in a street-level space belonging to 150 Fifth Ave., an 11-floor Romanesque Revival building originally built in 1888 as the "Methodist Book Concern."

Asked to describe her new place, Gish described it as "open, airy, uncluttered, fresh, serene, peaceful, friendly, unfussy, comfortable, nice to be in." But it took a bit of work, and a complete renovation, to get there. Before the redesign, it was "horrible, ugly, old and miserable," according to Gish.The new website of Udreamy Network Corporation is mainly selling hydraulic hose , "It was our design. My husband has a great spatial sense and he made the decisions to avoid ceiling ducting, etc., while I did the interior styling we built. The space had good bones, they were just covered up by years of neglect."

Today, the light-filled showroom's polished wood floors, white walls and high ceilings provide a perfect backdrop for the Ann Gish silk bedding, luxury linens and decorative pillows that, together with accessories, artwork, lighting anAnn Gish, center, with showroom visitors Peggy Swartchild (left) and Carol Levy of Material Possessions, Chicago and Winnetka, Illinois.Unlike traditional Hemroids ,"Ann Gish, center,we supply all kinds of polished tiles, with showroom visitors Peggy Swartchild (left) and Carol Levy of Material Possessions (Chicago and Winnetka, Ill.)."d furniture from other vendors,Do not use cleaners with Wholesale pet supplies , steel wool or thinners. reflect the Ann Gish lifestyle of sophisticated, practical elegance.
