Just In: Jonathan Adler in the Bathroom

Jonathan Adler for Cottonelle Toilet Paper Holders

This is sort of funny; I laughed when I read the press release. Jonathan Adler has partnered with Cottonelle to create toilet paper holders.  As a Jonathan Adler fan, I couldn’t resist, so I had them send a few over. They’re plastic, but sturdy, and the designs are pure J.A. Oddly enough, I had just the other day been thinking about how I could store a few spare rolls in our powder room. So, voilà.


Not bad, right?


How do you like the new wallpaper in our powder room?  It’s Tres Tintas Barcelona.


Mine are signed!

Want your own?

Go to RespectTheRoll.com. The covers are free with an offer code in specially marked packs of Cottonelle Clean Care Toilet Paper, plus $1.99 shipping. Or, purchase online for $2 each plus $1.99 shipping. Offer ends April 30, 2012.

THIS IS NOT A PAID POST.  I JUST THOUGHT THEY WERE CLEVER.  THEY DID SEND ME 3 GRATIS.

ARTmonday: Lee Essex Doyle “Dreams of Dawnridge”

Boston-based artist (and one of my dearest friends) Lee Essex Doyle is showing her newest series of paintings, “Dreams of Dawnridge” at Child’s Gallery in Boston. It’s on view until this Saturday, January 21, so if you’re on Newbury Street, try to pop in for a look. They’re absolutely beautiful. The pieces are based on L.A. artist and designer Tony Duquette’s ornate home, called Dawnridge.

“Double Sunburst”

“Library Altar”

“Thai Cockatoo”

“Malachite and Bird Cages”

“Red Interior”

“Ducommon Console and Mirror”

“Green and Yellow Interior”

“Garden Antelope”
