Habitat

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/dc/washington/habitat_1_web.jpg

Less is more at Habitat. Rather than clutter their cozy space, they chose to keep their stock simple but stunning. The store offers a small selection of home accents and jewelry. The jewelry comes from several Latin artists and is truly one of a kind. No gaudy gold here. A typical piece is a delicately constructed necklace of glass and wire that is sure get you all the attention you can...

Millennium Decorative Arts

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/dc/washington/millennium_decorative_arts_2_web.jpg

You could think of the furniture, accessories and clothing that fill Millennium Decorative Arts as retro. We prefer to think of the store as a collection of items that will never, ever go out of style. (We dread the day when an Eames lounge chair is considered uncool.) The store does not do retro for the sake of retro, but instead carries truly iconic pieces from Charles and Ray Eames,...
