Jonathan Adler & Happy Chic

Dying! No, Freaking out! No, Loving the Jonathan Adler Happy Chic line at HSN. 

These bud vases are so darn cheep and look so darn chic. 

Love them in white too!

and then there is the Greek Key blanket in black and white!

Perfection.

This rug is amazing too. 

 I had Jonathan's design books on my wish list for Christmas, 

and Santa was nice and gave me his fab books that I love to flip through, study, and cherish.

He just makes me happy. Jonathan truly does = Happy Chic! :)

Liz Lang + Jonathan Adler= Perfection!

I am so in love with fashion designer Liz Lange's house in Westchester County, New York.

Of course, something this fabulous was designed by Jonathan Adler.  

It is amazingly fantastic!  

What is it about Adler's designs that make me so happy? 

Black and  white make for a classic color combo, 

but the bright turquoise, yellow, and greens add the bold punch 

that make these rooms so inviting and fun.

I am swooning over the graphic splash elements.

During an interview, MIMI READ asked: "You're a standard-bearer for unimpeachable chic design. You're also irrepressibly playful. How do you combine these aspects?"

JONATHAN ADLER responded: "I think a room should be 95 percent chic. There needs to be a solid foundation of good design, functionality, and harmony. Then you have the remaining 5 percent to layer on a playful vibe. If a room is merely playful it's usually wildly unchic. Conversely, if it's too chic it's dry and off-putting. I try to strike the perfect balance of chic and cheeky — an inclusive, unsnobby sort of buoyant spirit."
