Jonathan Adler: Happy & Whimsical Design!

It was a fun several minutes, scanning through the pages of Jonathan Adler's online portfolio. I hadn't stopped by these pages before, and it was a real treat to see such a large collection of his rooms in one spot. Fun, whimsical, tongue-in-cheek design with a dose of sophistication on the side.

DIY sunburst mirror anyone, Barbie style? All you need is a LOT of identical dolls to get started!

Pink, gloss floors, zebra, an owl, mirrored furniture and gold accents...yes, it's a lot but it works!

Oversized Venetian mirror, a mask on a bust...just home from a masquerade ball? 

Catch the profile of a face on the lines of the sofa back?

Fun mixed with one quite glamorous Lucite four poster bed.

Traditional, with touches of the unexpected in the chairs and lighting.

Raindrops (?) as art and amazing chairs with a nailhead trim running down the back.

Too many whimsical details to list add up to a room I'd dare you to resist smiling when entering.

Eclectic pops of color in a beach house...

...and pink mixed with a sculptural lamp.

It's all about color, unexpected scale, a kind of weird sense of humor, a mix of finishes and unique furniture pieces...just the type of rooms to lighten the mood and have one not take it all quite so seriously.
