"I think I was a melancholy baby," design impresario John Derian says of his childhood growing up in Watertown, Massachusetts... I always made forts and moved things around everywhere."
"This thing, which killed me - it's just a closet that doesn't need to be here," Derian says, pointing to the addition that runs along one side of the living room. "It ruins the whole shape of the room... it will go - eventually."
"The apartment is his autobiography in objects... One of those items is a very real-looking papier-mâché pigeon poking out from a hole in the wall of that misbegotten closet."
"His shops and his apartment share the same fairy tale legacy of art and furniture based on 18th- and 19th-century antiques, updated for today's-sized person."
