Is it just me or are all of his pieces Classic French Style?
Does he re-style/re-cycle them? His site is not very informative ;/

I suspect they aren't real Victorian antiques (although they certainly are priced as such), but rather contemporary knock-offs.

I sort of like the cupboard with the chandelier, but otherwise I don't care for any of it.

Well, I kind of like the opulent style mixed with contemporary elements.
Some of his pieces I find gorgeously designed and with just the right amount of kitsch, but some are a bit too tacky for my taste.
I did some googleing though, and I could totally live with this Aladdin Sane bust and the kitteh :D

I also like this bed:

These were from his own apartment (http://www.designspongeonline.com/2011/04/sneak-peek-jimmie-martin-rick-schultz.html), that he shared at some point with his romantic and business partner Rick.

My verdict would be that in small doses and with the right combination, I love it!

Those are pretty much my feelings also.

I'd love to place one of these pieces into a coolly functional, minimalist Fennoscandian setting. :D

I like the first couple. Spiderweb couch is decent, the last one is alright. The others, not so much.
