At first this book looks like a children's book; but it is a simple guide to some wonderful decorating tips from Jonathan Adler. The pictures are eye-catching, clear and full of simple tips. There are pages for you to fill in your own ideas, in order to develop your own style (What do you want your house to say?)
Styles, muses, inspirations are given. The book is filled with color pictures that show different thoughts, what to do with all sorts of accessories, like books and flowers and pillows.
This book would be for any one except the most experienced decorator or those who absolutely can't or won't accept anything but traditional Chippendale.
But, speaking as a person who has a British Bobby's helmet next to their wooden Shichifukujin, the Seven Gods of Japan...have some courage, have some fun, smile when you walk into the rooms of your home. Use Happy Chic for ideas, and technique.

This book is fun and light hearted but i also bought Jonathan Adler's Book on colour decorating so was quite disappointed when the same images had been reused over and over. My sugggestion is if you are going to purchase this book -there is no need to purchase the others in the series.

Really you can't go wrong with anything Jonathan Adler, the color version maybe a bit better. But go ahead and get both.

Jonathan Adler is one of my design role models. I admire him so (and his partner, Simon, who is the window dresser for Barney's New York)! So when this book came out, I couldn't resist buying it even though I haven't any allocation funds towards redecorating.
His imagery in this book is breathtaking and quirky. It's so fun that I smile just looking at how Adler put together each composition and matched the colors. It truly is "happy" chic. :) I recommend this book for those who like non conservative and non traditional decor. It is for those who like vibrancy and wants that to envelope them.

I thought this was going to be a typical home decor book with a bunch of super fancy looking homes that I could only DREAM of replicating but this book was realistic and had a multitude of different styles. It really shows you how to emulate your own personal style and what looks work best with different looks. I really love all of the personal, quirky touches. It's definitely for a person with eclectic taste like myself. The best part to me is how they explain how to fill in empty spaces with books, candles, and other knick knacks. I can't wait to go out and buy some fillers for my apartment.
