Together with the Local Corner

Interior Design for the Creative Soul

I am Bianca Pérez Narváez, Puerto Rican, lover of all things vintage, and mom to three cats and a dog.

A few years ago, while furnishing my first apartment, I found it difficult to discover my personal style, as it seemed very different from anything I had seen. Then, I came to a conclusion: Our spaces must FEEL exactly like us, and the emotional connection with our memories, where we live, and what we like are very important factors in completing a project.

Let's discover what brings joy to your space. Rather than defining your space with specific styles, our mission is to curate each project in the essence of your daily life. Visit the website to see before-and-after photos and all the services.

🥑 Finca Neo Jíbaro - An agroecological experience amidst nature, cigars, pizza, and beer. 🍻

Finca Neo Jíbaro is located on the slopes of El Yunque, in Rio Grande. It’s a unique experience of connection with nature and the opportunity to learn about the different processes on an organic farm. Learn about agriculture, the history of tobacco in Puerto Rico, create your own cigar, enjoy one of our farm-to-table dinners, and visit the cigar shop while enjoying a house drink, local craft beers, Puerto Rican rum, or coffee.
