A JOHN DERIAN DECOUPAGE TRAY I LIKE!

November 18, 2009

Auto – John Derian Rectangular Maze Tray – $110 (Decoupage tray with geometric design in greens, yellow, red and off white)(above)

I like this John Derian tray. I am surprised.

I know people are crazed about John Derian. So for those of you who are “believers”…please bear with me on this. I am not crazed. I have been trying to understand the John Derian phenomenon for years. Decoupage stuff. What’s the big deal? I had this boss who used to scrapbook and craft all of the time…she loved to do her own decoupage pieces and insisted that people that worked for her do decoupage themselves. I was amused by her obsession but not that overwhelmed by the end result. Maybe this boss tainted my view on all things decoupage!

I was at the New York International Gift Fair this past summer with AM and saw throngs of people swarming the John Derian booth – all frenzied and excited to caress, feel, see and experience the latest John Derian. AM herself dashed into the booth…leaving me in her wake…she was one of the frenzied ones. I went in. I picked up a plate, paperweight and a variety of other items and I still didn’t get it. There I was…part of the not clued in crowd…in the middle of the John Derian booth…in the middle of frenzied crowd of women who were devotees. It was a very lonely place to be. LOL!

Anyhoooo….enough on that and back to this tray…

So until this tray…I had not really understood the John Derian allure. To me this tray is quite fab. Love the geometric shapes…love the colors. It is perfect. I would put it in my home. Cute on a side table or a coffee table in my living room. Could also make a good gift for a John Derian devotee.

So while I am probably not a John Derian fanatic…I may be edging towards being more open minded…let’s see what I can find next.

Derian devotees…please don’t hate me for having different tastes! 🙂

    I’m with you…never a big fan but this tray is a departure from his usual designs, very geometric, almost Moroccan inspired–great colors!

    I also agree with you…not a Derian devotee. But this tray is different. It has the look of a parterre garden.
    Great blog!

    Lol, such a funny read and i fully agree with you! His shop is around the corner from my place in NYC and I would pass it daily when walking to Little Italy/Elizabeth St/Soho. The shop is wonderfully merchandised however I never found an item I had to have and never understood the whole decoupage thing. However, I DO love the tray you featured, looks like Moorish tile! Thanks for sharing Coco;)

    Well, I’m not one of the crazed – I’m not familiar at all with this line. But, I do really like this tray – the colors & shapes are great 🙂

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
