So I was introduced to this show a while back, but I don’t get the Sundance channel so I’ve never actually seen it. The show is called “Man Shops Globe,” and features Keith Johnson – buyer at large for Anthropologie. The show was described to me as such, “Cameras follow Keith from flea markets in Paris to remote villages in India and obscure art studios in Turkey in his quest for the most unique and unusual decorative objects from around the world.”
It sounded interesting so I went to the site to take a peak. From the video clips I saw it was really nice to see how Keith’s creative mind worked. He could see an inspiring object, it’s potential, and decide what it needed to be just perfect for the stores. I also think this show is good to educate viewers about the arts around the world, and what cultures are responsible for what crafts. I’m including a video clip below, and some pictures I found on the site. From what I’ve seen so far, if I had Sundance I’d probably check out this show!

An indoor market in Syria. Syria looks amazing – might have to put it on my travel list. Has anyone been?
In Casamidy, a contemporary furniture and accessories shop featuring local art. They work in close collaboration with a wide range of skilled and talented artisans based in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Have you ever seen Man Shops Globe? I’d like to hear what you think!
Great dining/kitchen area!
The above is an artist’s loft you can rent for getaways. 
Even with the exposed brick wall and factory-style windows, homey elements like the houseplants, pictures, and rug make the space more than liveable.
I’m not a fan of cowhide rugs or of bull fighting, but this bedroom is a good example of how loft dwellers can make an industrial space cozier- notice the room divider on the left
This is the area of the loft carved out to be office space.
love the windows!
The studio/work area of this tribeca loft
Like the ceramic collection. The metal light fixtures keep this kitchen from being too kitschy country.
Such a relaxing bedroom
What do you think of the photos displayed on the sides of the stairs?
These are two cute ideas – take the back of an old chair and turn it into a towel rack, or take a ladder and turn it into shelves. What do you think?
The natural light in this home is great – also the architectural details like the radiator cover and top window pane.
I’m a sucker for detail shots 🙂
The look of all those books in the bedroom is really nice – but I’d be afraid I’d stay up too late each night reading.
This little spot in the yard is wonderfully wabi sabi no?
Isn’t this the prettiest bag? (Bags are from the Carla Mancini sale)
…from the Victorialand sale
…from the Lucky Brand Lounge sale…
What do you think of the open backs of these upholstered dining chairs
I like the “living” room feel of this bathroom.
The traffic jams were caused by livestock
One of the most amazing parts of being on this mountain top valley was the chorus of cowbells you could hear all around you. The sheperd´s huts were really amazing as well!
