Jonathan Adler is a complete and utter design hero for me. Okay, I'll gush a little more - How could you not love someone that's on a one man mission to bring his 'Happy Chic' vision to the world? His work runs from pottery to lighting, furniture and rugs and is witty, irreverent and always interesting and, on the couple of occasions I've met him, he couldn't have been more charming (I've even received the occasional thank-you note when I've featured his gear in a mag; how nice!). Click here to check out the interior he did for The Parker Palm Springs Hotel - I could so move in.

I was taking a boo at a great website the other day -- PointClickHome -- when I discovered that he'd judged a Happy Chic Home contest. Take a look below at some of the winning results and, of course, read the reason's why they made the cut (click here for more). Happy, chic, and in Jonathan's words - j'adorable.
