Well, well,well, it is already hump day this week? As you know the Mistress is now Head Mistress of the Casa du Borghese since the ex moved out over the weekend, so I have already begun getting color selection choices and some new ideas for some furniture and accessories to change the place up and inject some new life around. I am pleased with what I have, but since it is only me here now, and my place, I want to freshen up and powder the place! Little by little I have started to re-arrange the closet and dressers to re- organize things since I have extra place to spread now. The other night I was looking at some sites for accessories and I then remembered Jonathan Alder. Jonathan's company is a design company dedicated to bringing style, craft, joy, and a general feeling of grooviness to your home. And he also happens to be the other half to the entertaining creative director of Barney's, Simon Doonan. Jonathan has some of the best accessories out there if your looking for just the right amount of quirkiness. He also does vases and pitchers really well ,as I have a thing for both! Love the collection above and think once a new side board comes I may do a arrangement like this. How cool are his things? So Groovy!
Water pitcher inspried by Lady Bunny herself! Must have!
Could you resist a darjeeling teapot
Very cool shades of blue!
A touch of white is always a good thing.
Whale pitcher- fabulously kitsch
Stunning color and calming effects in these beautiful glassware vases.
It seems like all of a sudden my interior design is coming back around. Not only my own place, but I was also just approached to do some interior work for a apartment. Well this project should keep me busy from getting in trouble with all the boys! You can check out Johnatan Alder's site by clicking on his name, and if your in Philadelphia check out his shop on 33 North 3rd Street. I know I'll be going soon to check out the wares.
I loves his designs and have been in his San Fran store several times, maybe the trek from San Deigo just to go there!
ReplyDeleteThese objects de Arts put me in a good mood! Love the color. I'll have to check out the link.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see what you end up doing with the place. And did Jonathan adler do a tv show once? I seem to remember his name as a judge on something.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shop! I have been to the one in Soho. I should go to the Philly one sometime to see it.
ReplyDeleteLove that whale pitcher! I live a few blocks from the jonathan adler store on 33rd, and it’s one of my favorite shops.I could live there.
ReplyDeleteI hear he’s charming and whimsical
when he's in the store!
Ok we need to move down there. We have nothing cool like this around here! Nice colorful post and the vases are cool!
ReplyDeleteAHHHH! so cool, i love jonathan adler and his creations.
ReplyDeleteAll such gorgeous pieces! I need some of these for my desk.
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with his vases and wallpaper. But how can we not be, with amazing shops,websites and these things he creates?
ReplyDeleteThat whale pitcher reminds me that I must get back to reading Moby Dick.
ReplyDeleteEvery so often a girl has to 'reapply".....to her home.
ReplyDeleteLove the pottery, especially the blue stripes.
He has a store a couple blocks away from my job. I love walking past and seeing what new things Miss Adler has cooked up.
ReplyDeleteXOXOXO
seriously breathtaking, Jonathan is a genious. I love the colors and shapes, his things are overwhelming inspiration! I wouldn't know where to begin to place things or to match things up, so I need you!
ReplyDeleteI’m surprised by the images you’ve shared from Adler’s design work. I love, love his products and aesthetic, and Adler’s style still shines…happy decorating Mistress!
ReplyDeleteI too have been attracted to teapots recently. I LOVE that elephant one. hmmm, need to find a place for something like that. I have never visited the store yet, but thats where all the A list gays go!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this! This is exactly what I needed to see as I continue to re-vamp my tiny apt for summer. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
ReplyDeleteHis stuff is fantastic. Whenever I walk into his shop in the Village I wanna buy everything. Alas, the last time I was there I only got a pair of cat salt-n-pepper shakers. They were black and white, so of course, I had to paint the white one black, because (at the time) I had two black cats. Now I just have one, my Luis.
