If by some very strange set of circumstance, aliens took over the world but they agreed to let you keep just one store, which one would you pick?
For me, it would be Target. No question. No hesitation. No second thoughts. I would have a hard time living with the store with the red circle emblazoned just about everywhere.
if you question why, just check out their latest coup—capturing the work of artist John Derian.
When he started his company in 1989, all of his designs were handmade by a small staff of artists. A master of decoupage, his work is artful, whimsical and worthy of collecting.
Here is a smattering of what is on the shelves:
These plates are worthy of the wall, but would certainly be a conversation starter on the table.
Or consider this artful tray.
Or these great frames.
With email, you probably are not sending many letters by snail mail but in case you are seized by the inclination, store your stationery in these decoupaged boxes.
And if you love Italian papers—and personally, I'm crazy about them—stash your diary, old love letters and most cherished items in this Derian designed box. It will look wherever you put it.
