Montage: 34 Rooms with Poufs

The ubiquitous pouf. They’re everywhere. Moroccan-style poufs, knitted poufs, even wire poufs (though not sure those are actually poufy). I finally purchased one for myself. It’s silver metallic, and sits in front of the white sofa with the gray ikat pillows, which sits in front of my white bed, which sits in front of an accent wall covered with a white wallpaper with silver metallic circles. Seems stylish, right? Guess who hates the pouf? He thinks it looks like a giant, shiny soccer ball.

Here are enough photos of gorgeous rooms to prove that the pouf really is at the height of fashion.

Shop Alert: Jonathan Adler Comes To Boston

Newbury Street is now officially (and sufficiently) hip. Jonathan Adler is here, all tangy oranges and sparkling blues, velvet and chrome, bamboo and banana. The store is a fantastic colorful treat, much like Adler himself. Many of you know I don’t do the nighttime event circuit. But pass up a chance to meet Jonathan Adler. I think not. (Besides, I’m running an interview with him for “The Inside Source” next week.)

He is adorable and really nice. We bowed down to his willingness to open in Boston – he said he’s always like Newbury Street, and used to visit back in his Brown days. We exchanged eBay, 1st Dibs, and Craig’s List experiences – he tries to abstain, given his obsessive nature and discussed the phenomenon that is Gilt Group. We chatted about his bestie Liz Lang (I had helped her out with web stuff over a decade ago), and jabbered about being Jewish. Bless him for crafting mod menorahs. I took lots of pictures of the store. I’m sure you, like me, would love to move right in.

What a cutie!

Cocktails. Check out the bizarre blue cherries.

I was surprised to see the “etc.” pillow for sale, since I scored one on Gilt Group last week. Turned out they had simply over ordered, so passed on the surplus to Gilt.

Adler’s signature vases. You all know by now that he started as a potter. He called his great success in design “accidental.”

Love the artwork. Don’t know anything about it. Must learn.

Bring on the lamps.

Funky mirror. More needlepoint pillows.

Look carefully at this vase.

Amazing silver velvet sofa and Curtis Jere wall sculpture.

Great wallpaper for a single wall.

Menorah in the style of a sleek ’70s-esque lightolier.

Time to wrap things up . You can’t tell from this photos, but the orange line in the manifesto reads, “We believe Boston is chic.” It is now!

See you soon.

Site Spotlight: The Inside Source

Last week, eBay launched a new lifestyle site, The Inside Source. It’s genius really. A blog-style format with interviews on the latest pop culture, art, fashion, beauty, décor, “green” chic, and hi-tech gadgets, all concluding with links to similar finds currently available for sale on eBay. My friend, and Store Adore co-founder, Meredith Barnett is the editor, so it’s a sure thing. I’ll be contributing two articles each week, so I hope you’ll check it out. Here’s a run-down of my contribution – what’s live now, and a preview of what’s to come:

Interview with Boston chef Barbara Lynch on her new cookbook Stir.

Boston interior designer Kristine Mullaney creates a glam boudoir.

London-based antiques expert Judith Miller enthuses on her favorite chairs.

Deal Alert: Jonathan Adler on Gilt

The sale started at noon, and already a lot of items sold out, but as of right now, these cuties are still available. I just purchased the “etc.” pillow. Hurry, hurry, hurry. (If you aren’t already a Gilt Group member, let me know via comment or email and I’ll send you an invite.)

PS – Check back here next week for highlights of the opening party of the new Jonathan Adler boutique.

Get the Look: 24 X-Stools

If you’re in the market for an extra spot to sit, put up your feet, or set down a drink, consider an X-stool. Actually, consider two – they look great in pairs. There’s a teak model for outdoors, an exquisite Biedermeier set in a curule form, sharp velvet upholstered examples by Jonathan Adler, as well as an identical design compliments of Ballard, a cardboard version for tree huggers and, of course, Mies van der Rohe’s leather and chrome Barcelona stool. Which do you love?
