Join us in the fun

For those who love the thrill of the hunt

If you enjoy the thrill of the hunt and love the hands-on experience of shopping, join us in the fun. Buying excursions, or “Shop-Alongs” as we fondly call them, are a day of personal shopping with the Jessica Dauray Interiors design team.

You get the fun of a shopping trip, and we make sure you make the right buying decisions the first time around, avoiding impulse buys.

Once the shopping process is complete, we’re happy to travel to you to oversee delivery, installation, and final design details.
