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!

INTERIOR DESIGN

The Queen of Cups tarot card features a woman sitting on a throne, holding a goblet or chalice. She wears a crown and appears to be near water, with coins and a frog at her feet. The card symbolizes emotions and intuition.

Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye

Quick View

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.

Vintage 1950s Metlox Cinderella Cookie Jar

$45.00

Our favorite fairytale belle of the ball Cinderella in a white gown with a flower embellished apron over it and a cloak with her name and some trim in gold paint. Inside her hooded cape is a sweet hand painted face and head of golden hair. Her clutched hands give her a demure posture as she holds her basket - this is presumably before her Fairy Godmother makeover. Her head and shoulders come off to open the large cookie jar, and after working away to bake cookies you can dream about making it to the ball in time. Pristine condition, no chips, cracks or missing paint. Measures about 11" tall and 8" wide.
