Behind the Scenes of Issue 004

We had such fun photographing all the projects for this issue of Toujours Magazine!  Check out some of the fun photos below of the Toujours team horsing around behind the scenes...

Inside Art Photo Shoot Extras!!

Having spent the day with artists Alison Rossiter and Stuart Rome, which are featured in this issue's Inside Art article, we couldn't resist posting some extra shots from the shoot.  They are both so talented, and Editor-in-Chief Meghan Beierle-O'Brien and Art Editor Sasha Sullivan had the best time exploring Alison's art studio in Manhattan, and took way too many photos to fit into the article!  So, here are a few more of our favorites.  If you haven't already seen the issue, click here!

Stuart and Alison have been friends since their days at Rochester Institute of Technology

Asia Society Gala: Toujours Table Decor!

Toujours Magazine was asked to create a designer table for this week's Asia Society Gala at the Plaza Hotel in New York.  Co-Founder Meghan Beierle-O'Brien and Art Director Dana Beierle worked tirelessly to put together the perfect table decor.  They decided on a youthful/feel and hung lit globes from a cherry blossom tree, filled tall cylinders with delicate orchids and fighter fish, lined the table with a Chinese inspired fuschia table runner, infused color, and used lots of glass and candles to create a shimmering table.  

It was an amazing night chaired by benefactors Betsy and Ed Cohen and Stephanie and John Foster.  And the Toujours table had the honor of hosting John Foster and his guests!  We were delighted to meet talented interior and clothing designers throughout the night.  And we will definitely be posting more photos of the event.  But first, here are some shots of the table!

 The fish:

 (don't worry, the fish were not harmed and now are living happily in Brooklyn…)

The hanging lanterns:

 All lit!

A huge thank you to Penelope Dwyer of the Asia Society, who invited us to participate in the event!

DIY Monday: Simple Loveliness

We love small DIY projects!  If there are only a few steps in a project, we can definitely get on board.  Here are some of our favorites that are floating around Pinterest right now….

The most adorable wrapping!  Any variation on this theme would be gorgeous
