a Lance Dettwiler is not new to Terrace; in fact, Lance has spent the better part | of his.
I life in our community, growing up here since the age of 12, Lance and his wife Joann
j believe that Terrace is ready to take the leap in terms of modern (mod) furnishings. He
has travelled extensively through countries such as Nepal, india, and the major island of |
Tahiti. Graduating from Western Academy of Photography, this is Lance's main passion
$ which is reflected in his new store “Maison Decor”.
Maison Decor Furnishings opened July 15, 2006. The concept of trying something
different in home furnishing and accessories has been well- received by the community.
_. Lance.and many others have had to shop out of town for unique pieces of furniture -
and clothing in the past, but with the recent opening of a few new stores in Terrace’s
downtown core, Lance is now able to keep more of his personal business in Terrace,

At Maison Decor you will find that new look for your home, or.a great gift idea.
Maison Decor carries modern and retro furnishing lines such'as Sunpan Imports and £Q3, .
B one of the hottest furniture lines on the-market. Maison decor's selection of modern
accessories is second to none in Terrace. From bar accessories and art (some of which
Lance personally created), to funky kitchen gadgets and entertainment accessories,

Maison Decor has something for everyone. . . -
