How one Cape Cod home kept its faded glory

Celebrated New York designer John Derian resisted the urge to renovate his atmospheric New England retreat, choosing instead to make a feature of its frozen-in-time appearance A year after John Derian moved into his Greek Revival home in New England, one of his brothers came to stay. He told Derian to take his time with the project. “I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I’d already renovated,” says Derian. “I just wanted it to be as it was.” Derian is a découpage artist and the founder of John Derian Company Inc, a homeware store that opened in New York’s East Village in 1989. There are now four John Derian stores in New York and one in Provincetown. His products – from handmade plates to ceramics, fabrics and furniture – are stocked in more than 600 shops worldwide. In the UK, you’ll find them in the Conran Shop and Liberty. Continue reading...
