Photos of My New Studio Space
A 1910 heritage building, zero capital and a storage locker full of vintage goodies. I've shot one of the blank walls so you can see the mint green I have to deal with. I think I'm going to cover the entire thing with collected art work and vintage rock posters.

Jean Gillon - Collector Alert
Designing primarily in Brazilian rosewood during the mid century Jean Gillon could not have known his material of choice would become a CITES listed endangered species. Brazilian rosewood is now illegal to trade.
Gillon was born in Romania in 1919 and received his architecture degree in 1942. At the age of 37 he moved to Brazil where he began designing furniture and household products out of local hardwood, primarily rosewood.
Two years later, in 1958, Gillon founded Italma Wood Art and began to solidify his reputation as one of the top Brazilian furniture designers.
Gillon did not limit himself to furniture design. He also worked with textiles producing highly collectible tapestries.
Watch for his work.

Arnaud Maggs: Reality and Mortality
Arnaud Maggs is aware of his own mortality. It is this sense that keeps him working to consolidate his large body of work while trying to capture fresh ideas. Maggs' work speaks to the universal human experience. Hotel signs become more than sans serif on white on black. Portraits become stark realities of the form of the human head. Maggs is 83.
11 Mens Tote Bags
It is believed, among couturiers, that your accessories should be more expensive than your basic suit. The right accessory can enhance a dull outfit and set you apart from the pack.
When choosing a city bag for 2009 think harmony. Each item in your wardrobe should have some harmony with the others. That is, make sure that no one piece of clothing stands out by itself. Bags, like shoes, provide light-reflecting contrasts to your outfit. It is important, therefore, that your bag, as your shoes be well maintained and polished.
Here are 11 bags to carry off your look.
1. Pauric Sweeney
2. Corsia
3. Dolce & Gabbana
4. Ally Capellino
5. Moore & Giles
6. ndc
7. A Brand Apart
8. Jas m.b.
9. Maison Martin Margiela
10. John Varvatos
11. DiorFantasy Furniture: Its Place in Our Space
As some of you may know Bijou Living moved into a 1910 studio space May 1st. Initially, we had planned an interior inspired by Louis XVI meets Bauhaus however, with the realization of limited capital and a storage locker filled with vintage finds, our concept changed.
What is coming together now is a menagerie of 70s bohemian, mid-century Danish and Rococo amongst a color palette reminisce of Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights.
When the project is finished photos will be forthcoming. For now, conjure up your own images with these pieces and you'll get a sense of what we're working with.
