Westside Design District: Jonathan Adler Store

Last Saturday, I met up with local Atlanta bloggers for lunch out and some browsing in the Westside Urban market.  That area is really up and coming and so many new stores are opening up down there in the last few years.  Not far from Ikea, there are so many creative resources in the area now.

Starting with lunch at JCT Kitchen, always a treat, we had a great time catching up and doing a little shopping.

Here’s part of the group at lunch.  JCT is a really good place to eat, fresh and great food.

We walked across the way to the Jonathan Adler store. I had been in here once. It’s an explosion of color.

From left to right:  Sarah, Christina, me, Amy, Sally, Kelley, and Carrie.

The Jonathan Adler store is not exactly my taste, but it’s fun to look at all of this. Talk about mixing patterns.  Anything goes these days.

Jonathan Adler 1

White pottery on blue.

Jonathan Adler 2

This chair is really cute, I do like it.

Jonathan Adler 3

Round mirror and lots of owls.  It totally cracks me up to see all the owls back in again.  The 70’s are really trying to make a comeback.

Jonathan Adler 4

This looks 70’s too, doesn’t it?

Jonathan Adler 5

Orange and white.

Jonathan Adler 6

If a peace sign pillow isn’t 70’s, I don’t know what is.  I personally lived through it the first time, so I don’t want to relive the 70’s again.

Jonathan Adler 7

This wall screams 70’s, loud and clear.

Jonathan Adler 8

Loving the greens.

Jonathan Adler 9

This marble topped table was pretty, but pretty pricey.

Jonathan Adler 11

Vivid blue wall and a sectional sofa.

Jonathan Adler 13

It’s very eclectic in  here.

Jonathan Adler 14

This cute traditional chair is a good one. Not so crazy about a pillow that says Anger.  No thanks to that!

Brass Jonathan Adler

Brass is resurging again, as predicted.  I like some more matte finish golds, but this is still a little screaming to me.

Brass Banana Jonathan Adler

Not to mention, a big brass banana?  Uhmmm, no thanks!

What do you think of the modern Jonathan Adler style?  I like a few things, but for the most part it’s a little too contemporary and bright for me. 

I’ve got more pics to share of a few other stores in the Westside Design District and I’ll get those up eventually!

    Looks like a great day out. Interesting to see the grey in the third image, I have just completed a post about how to use grey in your home as usually it is associated with a drab colour but used correctly it can have a calming effect. Personally though I think its best to use it with an accent colour.

    There looks to be a wide range of colour and designs in his store, sometimes I wish I didn’t live all the way over here in New Zealand. We have some fabulous little stores, but that is exactly what they are, design stores here are mostly small private shops carrying a small range of designers products.

    Thank you for sharing your weekend.

    Lee 🙂

    I agree, Rhoda! Even though I didn’t live through the 70’s, it is definitely not my style! 🙂 There were a few things in his store that I liked but no brass, big bananas, or orange wallpaper 🙂

    But it was a fun day, a yummy lunch, and a good time talking with everyone as usual. Looking forward to our next get together 🙂

    Hey, Rhoda! I was wondering if you could recommend one or a few nice furniture stores in your area. I live in Canton and there’s not a large selection here. Woodstock Furniture Outlet is probably our largest store. My taste leans more toward traditional, just not very contemporary. I would appreciate any suggestions you might have!

      HI, Jill, have you tried all the furniture stores on Barrett Parkway, down from the mall? There are several over there, Thomasville, Lane, American Signature, I think you might find something in those.

    Thank you for the suggestion, Rhoda. I’ve not looked at any of those. Will definitely check them out! Just wondered if there might be something different around Marietta…maybe a family owned furniture store with unique pieces. I appreciate your input!
