Warning: our latest obsession might put some extra pep in your step — Jonathan Adler's happy, chic collection for JCP delivers the designer's signature look at a price point we can applaud. While the pieces (which range from small accessories to statement furniture) are currently available online only, we're anticipating the boutique-like in-store shops for the collection will launch soon. In the meantime, see the pieces we're eager to scoop!
While we're suckers for Jonathan Adler's midcentury-meets-quirky-cool home products, we've found another way to get our happy chic fix: his Instragram feed. From glimpses into new collections to a behind-the-scenes look at a "day in the life," Adler's feed (like the man himself) is anything but dull. Click through to see some of the boldly patterned, brightly colored snapshots that got us hooked — just in time for Spring!
Don't forget! You can find us on Instagram at @POPSUGARhome. Tag your photos with #casasnap so we can find you!
When Jonathan Adler Junior was first introduced, we swooned. The line of playful decor and accessories for kids, inspired by Adler's 5-year-old nephew, is aimed at the next generation of design enthusiasts (and their mod-loving parents) and includes an amazing selection of retro-inspired rugs, wallpaper, pillows, piggy banks, and stuffed animals created through artist collaborations. The newest intros in the Junior line are even better than we could have hoped for, including an incredible selection of toy storage, quirky animal pillows, and a wallpaper design that has us wanting to redecorate our nurseries ASAP!

Our obsession with hipster animals (animals can be hip, right?!) continues. We fell for foxes, went wild for the wise owl, and rallied around those cute raccoons, and this week, we're all about the hedgehog! While not indigenous to America, the prickly little mammal has recently hit the States through adorable pieces of nursery decor. From cute little wall hooks and night lights to duvet covers, pillows, and even an animal- and plant-filled terrarium, hedgehogs are at their cutest among these 11 finds. Which one is your favorite?
Not to be outdone by the announcement of Target's and Neiman Marcus's upcoming collaboration extravaganza, eBay has announced that it too will partner with some very big names for Holiday 2012.
Seven designers — Billy Reid, Chris Benz, Fallon, Jonathan Adler, Ruffian, Steven Alan, and Tibi — have teamed with the cyber giant to create a limited edition collection, online November 12. The 40-piece collection — titled eBay Holiday Collective — will feature about five pieces from each designer and will include womenswear, menswear, jewelry, travel, electronic accessories, and home decor; all pieces will ship for free and are priced from $50 to $100.
"Thrilled to be collab'ing w @eBay_Fashion this holiday on a ltd edition, locally made collection. All my friends can attest I love Ebay!" Fallon's Dana Lorenz tweeted following the announcement, while Chris Benz responded "You & me, both, sister! Xx". In fact, it seems a love of eBay was somewhat of a prerequisite. All the participating designers were chosen because of "their genuine enthusiasm for eBay," the brand's general manager of fashion, Jeff Somers said, adding that "each [designer] brings originality and a distinct point of view, and embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of our marketplace."

Still think needlepoint should only be allowed in homes of the elderly? Think again. Granny's favorite pastime has received a modern makeover, and even the youngest members of your family will approve. We probably have Jonathan Adler to thank for the resurgence of needlepoint's hip factor, but he's not the only one who's making cross stitch and embroidery seem completely contemporary. Keep clicking for six cool, crafty finds both you and your kids will love!
Entertaining styles vary, which is why we were curious to find out what we might discover at a Summer shindig thrown by Jonathan Adler.
