Coral Bourgeois lives a bedazzled life.
But the beads and rhinestones that comprise Bourgeois’ creations aren’t tacky

Her designs are primarily on tiles that adorn the walls of some of the world’s hippest restaurants and chicest boutique hotels. Her first big commission, through a Providence architectural firm, was a casino in Turkey. And today, the locations where her tiles are found sound like the ramblings of a world-traveler: "Dubai, Boston, Egypt... ."
The tiles, each one an individual creation, are actually mixed media pieces blending printed images, hand-drawn designs, paint, and often, modeling clay, beads, and rhinestones mounted on a sturdy background. Though they appear to be fired ceramic, the high-gloss shine is achieved through a resin process she developed, making them lightweight,We mainly supply professional craftspeople with wholesale stainlesssteelwatches from china, easy to install, and a favorite of architects and designers.
In Boston, some of her commissioned work hangs in the Liberty Hotel, where she designed jail-themed quirky pieces for the architectural firm’s jailhouse design for the boutique hotel in the former prison. She designed pieces for Seina restaurant in Providence, which led to another commission for a second Siena restaurant in southern Rhode Island. "That’s how it works for me, the designs become part of the look of the restaurant," she said of the multiple commissions for her exotic and intriguing designs.
She’s also designed pieces for hospitals, schools, resorts, and numerous restaurants including multiple locations of Urban Table, a Morristown, N.J., based restaurant chain.
Her inspiration? "Everything. It feeds on itself," she said of the designs that start out from images in old newspapers, out-of-print books, and public domain drawings and photos.
Bourgeois never set out to design tiles; the tiles were borne out of a massive collection of beads,I was finally getting the marcjacobsshoes of my dreams. rhinestones and other materials she used to make hand-made jewelry back in the day when art pieces were all the rage. Though she never made a lot of money from the time-consuming handmade earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, Bourgeois amassed a large collection of findings that she was left with when the art jewelry trend ended in the late 1980s. "That’s when I thought, why not take this process and try it on tiles? I had all these beads leftover," she said.
AS you can see, I am not the typical fit bunny that bounces from left to right showcasing my sculpted limbs. I do like to work out, but I’ve always hated the idea of celebrity get-fit DVDs. Pay to watch a tiny, yet perfectly made-up celebrity who leaves their trainer to do all the talking while they concentrate on looking good? Never, I told myself — until my editor set me a challenge: pick up three of this year’s celebrity fitness DVDs and put them to the test.
My principles were put to one side and I turned to Amazon’s shopping basket. There were plenty of options — slim celebs know December is the perfect time to unleash fitness DVDs on a post-Christmas plump public, so every year sees a barrage of new releases.
After clearing my living room floor and rooting out some old ‘New Year’s resolution’ weights,Find the largest selection of ceramic wholesalewomen on sale. I began my first workout DVD, from television presenter and fitness guru Davina McCall. Ultimate Target is her eighth fitness DVD along with her trainers Jackie and Mark. It is designed to target troublesome areas such as bingo wings, abs, legs and bottoms. I have always been a big fan of the Big Brother host, her humour and style has always succeeded in keeping me glued to her many TV programmes. I was hoping she would do the same and continue to see me through till the end of this target fat-burning lark.
What is great about this DVD is how the sections are divided up into eight short fragments.Shop for the very latest trends in shoessupplier and Mens Fashion Footwear and Accessories with Dune Online. If you are unable to complete the entire workout, you can skip to certain sections such as ‘Marks Bootcamp’ or ‘Bikini Bum’. Unfortunately, I did not have that option.
As I began the Latino-style warm-up, I forgot what I was doing as I was kept entertained by Davina, Jackie and Mark. "Arriba" she shouts with her planet-munching smile and instantly I notice my hips beginning to roll faster. That’s one tick for motivation.
The next section we came to was the ‘Fabulous Fat Burner’. A non-stop, energetic workout along to some African-themed music, making you think you are bum-squatting in the safari. Better than a stuffy living room, right? This workout was great fun and Davina made sure to entertain throughout.
Next up was the ‘Brilliant Boot camp’ instructed by Mark which involved the use of weights — and buckets of sweat. The squat-riddled routine had Davina glistening with sweat, as for myself, no comment.
And then there’s the abs routine. Plenty of sit-ups along with exercises I haven’t seen before. I was too busy crunching towards my ceiling to observe Davina, but going by her laughter and killer torso, I doubt she struggled. As hard as these were, nothing could prepare me for what was coming next.
This section was named ‘Bingo Wings’. This is no workout for the faint-hearted. She began the workout by counting down from 10 and ended the workout with a neck full of bulging veins. Looking at her arms, the results are unmistakable.
There are a few more short exercises like ‘Bikini Bum’ and ‘Summer Shoulders’ that are great too. I was never lost or confused by any of the regimes or moves. I felt the effect the next morning pretty much everywhere, and found Davina very professional. An 8/10 for me.
Next up was TOWIE star and ‘vajazzle’ founder Amy Childs. Fit in 30 Days trained by hunky Dew is aimed to strengthen the core and achieve the fittest body in 30 days. First observation was her choice of cleavage-busting attire and secondly her fluttering fake-eyelashes and make-up. The thought of both combined with a gruelling workout is ludicrous but image aside, I kept an open mind.
Her opening line was: "Hi I am Amy Childs, and this is my trainer Dew who is going to explain this workout." So much for an intro, isn’t this meant to be your DVD, Amy?
There are five workouts, all categorised from one to five. I noticed there was no warm-up, which I thought was quite poor. As Dew carried on doing all the talking through the first dumbbell workout, Amy continued to do her iconic trout-pout pose. In comparison to Davina, who was very much involved, I felt this DVD was owned by Dew and Amy was his model. But as for the routine, my arms were burning once the first workout ended.
Workout number two, we began doing press-ups. It came to press-up number 10 out of 40 and Amy yelps out "this is burning". She struggled on and so did I. More weight-lifting continued throughout the workout along with lunges that kept leaving Amy losing her balance. Instead of motivating her audience, she moans "you’re going too fast, Dew". This workout was a breeze compared to Davina’s, but I’ll give Amy this, her ditzy comments kept me laughing throughout.
