It’s an exciting podcast day because I’m catching up with Jonathan Adler, my longtime design hero and imaginary BFF. We chat about his design secrets, his amazing homes, the importance of collecting vintage, and he even gives me some rather harsh tattoo advice. This episode is filled with so many gems of wisdom. I know you’re going to love it! Thank you JA for sitting down to chat with us!!
You can stream the episode here on the blog or on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, TuneIn, Pocket Casts, and Stitcher. You can find the podcast posts archive here.
Show notes:
-OK, wow. It’s definitely a decent drinking game to take a drink every time I use the word “magical” OOOOOPS … it’s a lot. I was extremely excited. Can you blame me?
-I mention Jonathan’s books—100 Ways To Happy Chic Your Life, Jonathan Adler on Happy Chic Accessorizing and Jonathan Adler on Happy Chic Colors. These books were pivotal to me in designing my first home, taking risks and having the confidence to love what I love.
-We talk about An Objet A Day With JA, Jonathan’s current ongoing quarantine series on IGTV. It’s a lot of fun to watch.
-Here’s a photo of Jonathan’s epic tile wall.
-Here’s a photo of his eyeball fireplace that blew my mind.
–You can see a tour of JA’s Shelter Island home here.
–You can see a tour of JA’s New York home here.
-Definitely going to take Jonathan’s advice of using a wall mural in our new space.
-I’m loving his concept of combining luxury and craft! Very inspiring.
-“My only edict: do whatever style you do at 11!” I’m taking this advice to heart.
-“The real essence of designing a space that’s personal to you is ONLY buying things that you absolutely love and that your heirs will fight over.” I LOVE IT.
-One of my favorite little JA nuggets was “Don’t be snobby at the beginning, the middle or the end of your career.” AUGH!
-Do you all think I should get my Marie Kondo tattoo?? Lol (spoiler—definitely getting it)
-The Simon Doonan starter pack according to JA is Beautiful People as well as his upcoming book, How To Be Yourself.
