Jonathan Adler
Tue, 6 Feb 2007
Jonathan Adler is a design god. I recently picked up his book "My Prescription for Anti-Depressive Living" and I cannot believe I did not buy it sooner. His style is so whimsical and colourful and just plain fabulous - it is exactly the style I love. This book has become my new bible. He has brilliant tips throughout the book, for example:
"Lacquer your front door orange.."
"Lemon yellow is the essence of crispness and should not be overlooked."
"Start a collection: ceramic animals, mannequin heads, other people's high school yearbooks."
"Buy rich ladies' scarves and make them into pillows."
"Put regal furniture in your bathroom. Stack your towels on a Louis chair upholstered in Pucci terrycloth, even if your bathroom is tiny."
The man is a genius. If you don't own that book, go out and buy it.

oh that last photo with the hairy bed! lol. woah. i want to nap there.
YAY!!! Jaime's back!!
That hairy bed would be interesting in my house - it would be taken over by all my cats in no time!!!!
you probably wouldn't be able to find them on the hair bed!
LOL - especially my himalayan since he's already a big hairball!
I totally agree! Jonathan Adler is a fairy tale genious. His book is like walking into a carnival and purchasing a huge tree of cotton candy....just delicious.
Kristen, you coulnd't have put that any more perfectly! Jonathan Adler is my hero!!!!!!!!
So, did you purposefully leave out the Michael Jackson bust? Hmmm? I've been meaning to publish it for a week now and should get to it. Isn't that first room just about perfect? That mirror should belong to ME.
It's not anti-depressants for living. Jonathon Adler is viagra for room porn! Hehehehe!
And again - Another beautiful post. Thanks for showing these fantastic pictures!!
Thanks for the compliments Anna. The hard work has just begun. We have to keep it up :)
Pink - his Michael Jackson bust would be PERFECT in your home!!! You must get one and put it next to Frida!
Could somebody scan a pic from Antidepressive Living for me?? I LOVE JA and I can't figure out how to save a pic from his website because it's all 'flash player'.
