decortiva is launching a new site...

decortiva has asked me to do 3 looks of inspiration images with furnishings that suit them
here are my 3 looks
my plan is to represent these looks that all belong to the entry category with items that singularly are interchangeable and can fit into any of the three rooms with a different mix of other pieces
a challenge!

The inHOUSE Accessories collection retails from $250 for select single bracelet styles to $1200 per pair for formal French lace evening glovelets with vintage beads.
