The Art of Noticing *

Hi there. I'm so happy you're here.

Brown With Flowers is about the art of noticing: finding beauty in the everyday through flowers and meaningful pieces in your home. It's about giving found items new life and discovering new uses for lovely things.

I believe our spaces tell a story. The chair you love, the flowers on your table, the way light moves through a room — all of it shapes how we feel.

No matter the budget, every home can feel inspiring, alive, and uniquely you.

Finds & Makeovers

Vintage stools, old tables, and things other people pass by. If it has good bones, it's coming home with me.

Unexpected Flowers & Plants

Carrots in a fishbowl, kale in a vase, grocery-store flowers. If it grows, I'll probably try putting it in a vase.

From My Home to Yours

The good dishes, a chair that's always on the move, and a room that's never quite finished. If something feels off, I move it until it doesn't.

Ways to Bring It Home

  • A cozy dining room and a corner of a living room separated by a doorframe. The dining area has a light wooden table surrounded by a mix of white and black chairs, a vase with flowers, and tall blue candles. The living room corner features a pink velvet armchair with a matching cushion, purple curtains, and framed wall art. The floors are wooden parquet, and the walls are painted in pastel shades of blue and pink.

Why
“Brown With Flowers”?

My friends used to joke, "You're so easy to shop for. If it's brown with flowers, you'll love it." They weren't wrong. It's still how I see a room: well-loved furniture (the brown) with a little beauty added (the flowers).

As a kid, I was always rearranging my bedroom, painting furniture, and adding a flower or two. I never really stopped. Later, I became certified in feng shui, which gave a name to what I'd been doing all along.

It's more than moving furniture. It's the flow of a room, where the light falls, and the pieces you choose to keep. Then add the flowers.

When that happens, the room shifts and comes to life.

It starts to tell a story.

Your story.

And everything in it begins to feel purposeful.

Meaningful.

Like it was made for you.

Spaces you love start with pieces you love

Not every decorating idea is a winner. I really thought the pink and orange hand-knit blanket was going to be the perfect addition to this room. In my head, it made perfect sense. And then I put it on the bed. SO WRONG! Sometimes you just have to se
