Bureau of Urban Living
460 West Canfield Street
Detroit, MI 48201
313-833-9336
Hours: Tues-Sat 11-7
www.bureauliving.com
Only a year old, and Midtown’s Bureau of Urban Living is everything you could ever want in a modern home accessory shop. But what really makes this shop special, is the love of community instilled in its owners.
Bureau is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Claire Nelson (pictured here) & Francis Grunow. Grunow, a native Detroiter, is the Executive Director of Preservation Wayne, and one of the founders of Detroit Synergy. Nelson, who is from the Chicago area, is a graphic designer and co-founder of Open City. They launched Bureau to fill what they saw as a major void in Detroit’s retail landscape.
“It was kind of evident that we didn’t have many shops downtown that catered to people that were living and moving here and living downtown, ” says Nelson, in an interview with The D in Decor. “I moved here from NY in 2002, I lived in Brooklyn last and I just loved little shops in Brooklyn through out NY and in Chicago.”

A few days ago, I showed you my inspiration room and described my “bohomodern” style. I’ve been eyeing this chet sofa from CB2 ever since their newest catalog arrived on my doorstep. This baby is an even more modern take on the tufted style of Anthropolgie’s Milo Sofa that I dig so much. The price isn’t that bad either at $899 especially compared to the $3 G’s I would have to drop if I invested in Milo (never that!). I’m not familiar at all with the quality of CB2 though–I’m worried that it might not survive my cats (and their constant climbing and clawing) who, by the way, I have yet to introduce (look for that later this week!). As much as I love Chet, knowing my luck I’m sure that by the time I even have enough saved up to snag it, that it will be out of stock. Looks like I’ll be adding some additional google ads tonight!

Well this is my first post for the newly launched The D in Decor blog. I have been so inspired by interior design and craft blogs that I feel like it’s finally my turn to give it a go. My name is Margarita Barry, I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and am a Graphic/Web Designer and wannabe writer, enrolled in a local college pursuing a certificate in Graphic Design with a focus on Web.
I hope to earn my undergrad degree in either interior design or graphic design with a minor or dual major in journalism. My day job is working as a webmaster/web editor for a major radio station, but I have also worked as a graphic designer in local newsrooms and freelance often.
I have so much inspiration in my brain that I need somewhere to organize all of my thoughts and the fabulous things I come across on the web and in the dirty dirty D (Detroit) where I live. This blog is going to be about all of the cool things that I love, the slow progression of my home decorating skills, and will mostly cover (but will not be limited to) interior design, product design, gardening, and home décor—which are some things that I am deeply passionate about. I hope to cover other related topics, including art, architecture, fashion, design, and culture, especially in my Detroit hometown.
Although I am just getting my feet wet in the local design scene, I hope to become an interior designer/decorator/graphic designer/writer extraordinaire some day and will probably write a bit about my professional journey as well. I hope you enjoy my blog, it’s been a long time in the making. If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or want to share your tips, photos of your home (especially if you live in the greater Detroit area), or whatever do not hesitate to drop me a line.
