Jonathan Adler Loves a Doric Column!

Not to mention a monthly online one. Potter-turned-lifestyle brand Jonathan Adler has done more for tchotchkes than The Antiques Roadshow, and now he’s entered the blogosphere. For his freshman effort at a “Monthly Musing,” the avuncular Adler ponders the “grandiosity of Neoclassical design,” inspired by the dearth of grand, historicalesque gestures observed during his recent weekend HGTV marathon. He offers a candy-colored list of suggestions for infusing a bit of neo-neo-classicism into your life, ranging from Rent Caligula (“Be patient — the first episode is a bit dreary but it quickly heats up and you’ll soon be unable to leave your house until you watch the whole thing”) to Greek Key is the Key to our favorite, Fornasetti (“Always, always, always”).
