Jonathan Adler 100 Ways To Happy Chic Your Life (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
First off -JA is my hero, idol, imaginary mentor. If I were rich as Croesus or at least as Dubai sheikhs, I'd hire him to decorate my home. However, as some one mentioned here, this book lacks substance. It's fun to look at and display on your coffee table, but one can't learn much from it. Instead of giving an advice on, for instance classical proportions (which he mentions only in passing) or JA's famous use of oversized objects, this book dishes out reductive silliness and waaaaay too much camp. I have been busy doing some home remodel projects so this book caught my eye. It was recommended at the Denver Public Library so I checked it out. There are some good design tips included and lots of photos of Jonathan Adler's cool properties. I don't think I will adapt any of his design tips though because they seem a little extreme for me. It was still enjoyable to check out the concepts and photos.
