    When the video started, I thought they were showing us the “before” photos and I got tears in my eyes that anyone would get rid of it. By the end I was crying tears of joy.
    Your house is my idea of a dream house. Thanks for keeping it just the way it is.

    Beautiful house and respective owner. It's lovely to see people thrive in their element. He clearly loves and respects his home.

    What a kind, thoughtful and creative man. It is inspiring when a home is the direct reflection of its owner/tenant.

    Most of us would have fixed it up, but I respect his decision not to and it's charming. He really is the King of Decoupage! I love his work.

      I think he did fix up major parts of it - like the '70s bathroom he mentioned.

    John Derian’s shop in NYC is as amazing as this house, he is totally authentic, and has created his own beautiful world, which is the most difficult thing to do. Thank you for the tour….

    I love Provincetown and have visited John Derian’s shop several times without realizing that he lives in the building. It feels like a lovely little sanctuary for odd and beautiful objects you’ll never see anywhere else. How marvelous that he and the house found each other. He honors its history and treats it with such respect and gratitude. Thanks for this glimpse of his home and the sources of his inspiration.

    I absolutely love that he didn’t do any major renovations!! So many beautiful historic homes in this country are being renovated, and they often lose the things that make them unique in the process. I have so much respect for anyone that recognizes the beauty in old homes and chooses to preserve them even if that means foregoing some modern conveniences.

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOh! This past Saturday in Provincetown, I saw the shop sign and was I drawn to it but also so confused, but I kept looking at the sign for some reason, trying to understand, perhaps was it an interior design business or a shop. And now I see the same shop sign this video! Such a missed treasure! Will visit next time!

  • @SpanishEclectic
    @SpanishEclectic 5 місяців тому +8

    From a practical side, my one concern is flaking paint that might have lead. If there are no small children or pets, it's probably fine. It is definitely a beachy vintage look, and I prefer that to lots of bright colors and 'big' patterns that might work in a modern space. I grew up in a Mid-Century home, but haven't lived in a house with a dishwasher or even a garbage disposal since I 'left home'. Even houses from the 1920s/1930s were solidly made, and have fun features like built-ins, milk doors, and mirrored medicine cabinets above the kitchen sink. His house feels welcoming and cozy, with his collections and fun antique art. I'm always a fan of 19th Century style botanical and scenic images. Nice video for the late summer.
