Judy Negron from Hells Kitchen

Ive been shopping at Domus since it opened, 11 years ago. It has become a jewel in Hell's Kitchen. I always know I'll find something beautiful and unusual.,for a gift, and very often, for myself. Anyone who is looking for a very special gift, this is where you'll find it. All the items sold have been chosen carefully, with great taste, And many things are made by international artisans, exotic, beautiful and also, practical. There's no other store like it, that offers original decorative home gifts, jewelry, and art.

Open by appointment. My space is quiet and filled with light. You can come for a classic Reiki session that will help relieve holiday stress and invite ease and relaxation. An hour on the table can have the effect of hours of really good sleep. I offer Reiki gift certificates, too! You can also read more about the other work I do, Energetic Empowerment, on my website. I've been doing Reiki for 15 years. Call for an appointment: (718) 499-4702.

Just like a lot of small businesses, we offer personal attention for our clients' needs.

We are literally a mom n pop shop: we are a married couple, with children, and we want to capture your family's events the way you want them.
