Jonathan Adler: I love you!

Jonathan Adler: I love you.  But why did you have to open a store in Seattle?  (And why is your return policy so stinkin' crappy?)

I don't want a house that looks or feels like any other house in Seattle.  That just seems boring.  I want something unique and fun.  And now that JA has a store about a mile from our house, I know his designs will be all over the 'hood.

I guess I'll have to limit my JA purchases for the home.  Here are a few of my top contenders:

1.  The Meurice Chandelier.  I love it in every shape and size.  Gotta go with the brass.  Would it be annoying to worry about changing 42 light bulbs?  Probably, since I barely have time to sweep my floors.  But, a friend of mine (with excellent taste) said, "if that's a concern, you don't love the light enough to buy it."  Hmm, interesting thought.  I'll just have to add "change light bulbs" to my honey-do list (which I've now learned is totally okay to just leave over voice mail).

2.  Antlers and Hippos.  Jonathan Adler has fantastic decor pieces.  Sadly, it would be really hard for me to justify buying an $895 leather hippo.  I have a voice inside my head saying, "that $895 should probably go into the college fund."  Damn you, voice.

Not much I can say about urchins on a wall, except that this is Seattle and anything goes - and I think 3D art is really cool.

3.  Grasscloth - We've had our eye on wallpaper for a long time.  Grasscloth is easy to look at and can really warm a space.  JA has some great ones.  We're planning to go with something with a bit more pizzazz but I still love this gray one.  It would be great in a master bedroom.  Gray, gray, gray!  I can't get enough of it.  Yes, even in Seattle... love it.
