What Por Vida Decor does

Por Vida Decor specializes in a wide range of home improvement projects, including Interior Design, Professional Organizing, Interior Painting, Staging and Decorating, and even Property Management with Handywoman Services.

We work with individuals, families, and small businesses that have limited space and are overwhelmed by design choices.

By combining Professional Organizing and Interior Design, we can maximize space, reduce clutter, and enjoy a home or office that's stylish, efficient, and stress-free. Let us bring balance, beauty, and order to your home.

We also have a vintage resale store with consignment available for our customers.

What Por Vida Decor does differently

Por Vida Decor is not a traditional professional organizing firm focused on systematically eliminating items and conforming to prescribed order. Nor are we your typical Interior Design firm that is more concerned with promoting its own style than yours, and is only available to high-income earners.

Here’s how we differ:

We use a sliding scale to help everyone create inspiring and functional spaces.
We draw on high-end design inspiration while focusing on practical choices.
We create beautiful, functional interiors tailored to your lifestyle, combining expert design with professional organizing.
We are equally efficient and fun!

Vintage 1980s Large Chinoises Urn Lamp

$100.00

Bodacious full bodied chinois ginger jar table lamp with spray of earth toned flowers and a simple pleated shade giving us 1980s eleganza. The carefully placed flowers were thought to be hand painted but closer inspection revealed that they re transferware, but very expertly put on to look like painting. The lamp body, socket and shade are all in excellent condition, as this lamp spent it's life in a formal living room that was off limits except for special occasions. Stands 35" with shade, 21" without shade, and is almost 10" in diameter at it's thickest point.
