Spring has arrived here in the Northeast in its typical abrupt and noncommital manner. We had enough rain two weeks ago to last us all year, dried out with 90+ degrees Wednesday, and by tomorrow we'll be back into the 40s...but at least it's sunny. Crazy, but I'll take it - the trees are blooming, the bulbs are flowering, the tourists have arrived, and...Johnathan Adler's new store on Newburry Street is open to all! Life is good.
I just love everything Jonathan Adler - who doesn't? His manifesto is a message of required happiness with a dash of frivolity -- just walking into the store is enough to lift someone from deep despair to giddiness in a manner of seconds. It's a welcome message and feeling after the dark cloud we've all been living under for a few years now. If you live in the Boston area, be sure to stop by - they're even having a sale right now! And be sure to pick up a copy of his book - My Prescription for Antidepressive Living - great Pictures. Powerful ideas for life
In keeping with the themes of this blog - affordable GOOD design - Adler has a wonderful line of sofas that come in both apartment and standard sizes and start at
only $2,200. Fabulous, affordable, good design. They've got this one in the store in light blue linen - simply gorgeous, and the right scale for our more petite city dwellings (it also comes in a larger size for those with more space). If you don't live in Boston, Miami, New York, or L.A., you can see his lineup on his website - full of fun and frivolity. Worth a visit.
Happy Spring!
