What? What?! Jonathan Adler created a line for JC Penney called Happy Chic?! My word. If you have admired his optimistic retro style of pillows, ceramics, rugs, and decor objects but could never afford the designer price tag, here is a great source. I would assume the quality isn’t top notch but for adding a little cheerfulness into your rooms, give the collection a once over. I’m tempted to sneek some pieces into my next project and just not tell the client its from JCP.
My good friend was planning on creating a gallery wall in her play room of unique illustrations evocative of vintage children’s books. I suggested buying a few actual vintage books from eBay and mixing the some framed pages in with prints from Etsy. Frame them all consistently in white (good and cheap frames from Ikea).
The world of Etsy can be overwhelming so I tried to point her in the direction of a few of my favorite shops. She opted for a large canvas in the end so I’ll share my selection with you if you want to use the idea for a whimsical play room or nursery gallery wall. These prints aren’t too childish and will grow with your babe as their tastes get more sophisticated. What are your favorite shops for snagging special prints?
