Young House Love » Shopping & Thrifting » Window Shopping: Adler Adoration

Window Shopping: Adler Adoration

It’s been way too long since our last window shopping adventure. As most of you know, these aren’t paid or perked or anything – we just walk through a store with a camera and take pics of whatever inspires us for you guys. This post is actually a few months overdue (woops) but now that I’ve uploaded the pics and sat down to write this post I’m all school-girl-ish again. See, I actually stepped foot into my first Jonathan Adler store ever a few months back (while we were in DC for a signing up the street) and I was OBSESSED.

Believe me, it’s not a good look. I get all squealy and grinny and I probably look like I’m one minute away from rubbing my face on everything. But the employees were very nice and nobody escorted me out, so I consider it a win. Here’s what was there to greet me when I casually sauntered in bounced my way around the store like a female non-tiger version of Tigger.

Adler 1 Chairs

Pretty colors, right?

I loved every last mug design. Can’t you picture a collection of these stacked on an open shelf in someone’s kitchen? Heck a few of them even make for some awesome wall-stenciling inspiration.

Adler Mugs

And the lights.

Adler Lights 2

Don’t get me started on the lights.

Adler Lights 1

They were amazing. And of course since I was trying to play it cool I didn’t ask someone how much they were but my guess would be a million dollars each because they were that pretty. Probably overshot that a little (I’m a bad guesser) but as far as 100% free inspiration goes, this store was packed with it. And that, my friends, is why I love Mr. Adler.

Sidenote: if you guys haven’t read his books, I highly recommend them all. He’s real, hilarious, and inspirational. In fact this quote from his latest book (100 Ways To Happy Chic Your Life) was so awesome that I instagramed it a few months back…

Adler Quote

Oh and speaking of loving what you love and all things happy-chic, how much fun are those two yellow and white ottomans? I petted them. I couldn’t help myself.

Adler 2 More Chairs

This pillow even had John laughing. Gotta love a pillow with a sense of humor (remember this old Joan Crawford quote from Mommie Dearest?).

Adler Pillow No Wire Hangers

Couldn’t you picture an entire kids room designed around one of these needlepoint map pillows? I’d do soft blue walls with pops of the brighter blue (from the pillow) in a ton of accessories along with hits of green and orange. And maybe a glossy yellow rocker? Me-ow.

Adler Pillow Maps

This purty chair was sort of the cousin to our office chairs. So much happy, you just wanted to park your buns in it all day. The funniest thing is that a few years ago when we were in our super neutral phase of decorating (see our first house) I never would have described J-Ad as my style, but after having Clara and moving into our current place, we’re down with all things happy, cheerful, and bright. It’s like Sir Jonathan covertly wormed his way into my heart and I didn’t even realize how much my preferences had changed until I was walking around his store thinking “yes, yes, yes!” instead of “scared, scared, scared.” Haha.

Adler Chairs Like Our Office Chairs

These were my favorite. They were little faux zebra dishes in a few fun colors and I completely regret not buying the green one for my night table (wouldn’t it be cute for a pair of earrings or a watch?).

Adler Zebra Dishes

This needlepoint pillow is full of so many colors (yellow, red, teal, navy, gray, black & pink!) but it still felt like it could layer into any room. And I loved the two other pillows with the colored piping that were paired with it. I know some of you out there could DIY your take on those neon-piped pillows, right?

Adler Striped Pillow

This plate inspired me a lot too. How many old white plates from thrift stores have you seen like this? None with gold, but maybe that could be added with metallic paint or gold leaf. It totally made me want to try my hand at a homemade version.

Adler Gold Dish

Here are some other fun ottomans. If money were no object I’d snatch them up for Clara’s big girl room. But even though they’re not in the budget, they’re awesome for inspiration. I love how there’s white, pink, and bold red all layered together in a fun ikat-ish way.

Adler Red Ottomans

Here’s another example of sheer inspiration that I snagged while staring dreamily at one of the side tables. See that teal and gold egg? Well they sell wooden eggs like that at craft stores like Michaels for 99 cents each. So you could grab a bunch, spray them metallic gold, let ’em dry, then put some rubber bands around them at random angles and spray them bright teal. When you remove the rubber bands there should be bands of gold that show through just like the guy below.

Adler Horse Lamp

And that side table was actually a cool white lacquered tray attached to an X base. So if you see any old table bases at a thrift store, painting them and adding a big lacquered tray to the top could be fun, right? You can whip something up like the tray-side-table that we made for our guest room thanks to some 3M command strips.

This was just a corner that I loved. See the art? Sorry about the glare, but it’s a giant picture of a bird. Yeah, I’m into it.

Adler Blue Grey Bedroom

Another bird. Because one large bird print is never enough. And I mean that without any hint of sarcasm. Seriously, I want two.

Adler Blue Grey Bedroom Detail

This bed was so cozy looking with the tufted velvet headboard in that pretty platinum color. And I love how they added those bright yellow poufs along with some colorful pillows to keep it from being too neutral.

Adler Yellow Gray Bedroom

I thought this wall was really retro and fun with the vintage looking wallpaper paired with the giant feathered wall hanging. And there’s that lacquered tray side table again, so you can see the whole thing more clearly here (with a chesty vase on it to boot).

Adler Boob Vase

And since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are my thing (Donatello’s my favorite because my favorite weapon in karate class was the bo), I could totally get down with this guy on a buffet or a console. It could be my little decorating hero in a half-shell. Turtle power.

Adler Turtle Shell

The kids section was fun too. How great is that wallpaper? I would totally use that inside of a nook or a closet. I think it came in pink too. And the needlepoint pillow with the giraffes on it? I might have hugged it to my chest while slowly twirling and whispering “this is the best day of my life.” I told you I get excited.

Adler Kids Wallpaper

Oh Jonathan Adler, I adore you. Let’s be best friends and exchange ceramic animals for every holiday.

Adler Picture Frame

Hope you guys liked that little virtual window shopping spree. It’s fun to duck into a purely-inspirational place every once in a while (we usually traipse through places like Target, World Market, Ikea, thrift stores, and smaller independent shops) but there’s definitely truth to the whole “eye-candy is everywhere” sentiment. What stores have you been ogling lately? Are there any projects or updates that are now on the agenda after seeing them in a shop (or even in a restaurant or coffee house)?

PS: Want to hear an interview I did with Jonathan Adler himself! Check out that link for all of the details and the audio recording, or read a transcript here.

Hope I didn’t freak you out! :) Oh, and I picked up one of the little zebra trays as a Christmas gift for someone – and almost kept it for myself since I love it so much!

      We should all now pick out our favorite quote (or inspiration) from this post and reassure you we are all just as batty–or at the least–can appreciate public displays of rediculousness.

      I, for one, am DROOLING over those gold starburst light fixtures, that blue animal print wallpaper, the tufted chair the needlepoint map pillows were on AND I spy a yellow chair/couch in the background of the neon piped pillows picture I would LOVE to get to know better….

      LOVE all this happy, bright color–especially staged against the white store! Makes me feel better about not painting my entirely white house yet.

    It looks like Rainbow Brite threw up in there… in a good way. I’ve noticed that stores with unique, branded styles (like JA) can look a bit cooky because it’s so much of one thing packed into one space but when a few pieces are layered into a home they become part of a much bigger picture. I love your DIY idea for the teal & gold egg. 2 of my fave colours!

    I LOVE that you get all geeked out about this kind of stuff! Wouldn’t have it any other way! When we went to the showing for the house we eventually bought, I actually hugged the kitchen. HUGGED IT. Like, put my arms out in a big awkward embrace and squeezed the wall… all the while saying “I’mma live heeeeeeeere!!!!” (Thank God the sellers couldn’t hear me or I’d have shot our bargaining power all to crap!)

    I can’t decide which of these items I love most. Squeeeeee!!!

    So this post inspired me to go window shopping…at Target.com :) and look what I found on clearance – immediately made me think of Clara’s room! http://www.target.com/p/puntini-lamp-cream-pink/-/A-14001960#prodSlot=large_1_36

    I killed time in the Upper East Side Jonathan Adler store last summer, and enjoyed a a brief fantasy where I could afford his stuff.

    My favorite thing though? His “manifesto,” which included the line:

    “We believe that minimalism is a bummer.”

    Well said, Jonathan, well said.

    P.S. There is now a J.A. store here in Portland, which I need to go visit!

    No Wire Hangers!!

    Direct reference to the movie “Mommy Dearest”.
    Joan Crawford had an obsession with padded hangers
    She would “lose it” if one of her children used the wrong hanger aka a wire hanger!

    I went into my first Adler store in Boston, a few weeks before we bought our new home. #uhoh Unfortunately, I wasn’t as successful at restraining myself. I wanted the Lampert Sofa so bad, but that puppy was WAAAY out of my price range. So I went back to Richmond emptyhanded and laid awake at night thinking about it. Every other couch I sat on looked sad and cheap by comparison. It was kind of a problem. So…. I did it! I bought it. All WAY-TOO-MANY-DOLLARS of it. I still love it 2 years later, thankfully, because it’s gonna have to be my couch for the rest of my life. I’ll probably just have someone DIY it into a casket when I die to make sure I truly got my money’s worth. #herelieslampert

    Can we TALK about the blue wavy lamp in the bird picture? I die.

    I want to move in there. I would bring my retainer and just cozy up in a bed and be all, “What?” when they brought Security over.
