Have you ever been completely drawn to an object and not quite known why?

I've always been fascinated by that feeling.

Growing up in New York City, life moved fast. Beauty was something I noticed in passing...a striking storefront, sunlight catching a window, a beautifully set table. It was something I experienced outside of myself rather than brought into my everyday life.

Then I met my husband Ian and moved to Manchester, UK. The pace softened. The light changed. Instead of resisting the moodier skies, I found myself creating warmth through glass, ceramics, candlelight, and collected objects that seemed to hold a story of their own.

What started as styling our home became a deeper curiosity about how our surroundings shape the way we feel.

Dark Deco Boutique grew from that idea.

Through curated vintage pieces and immersive experiences, I invite others to slow down, gather with intention, and find inspiration in the everyday. Because beautiful living isn't about perfection or special occasions. It's about creating moments that feel meaningful, however small.
