"Our home is the canvas, and we are the artist"
Karson Brown
Notes of inspiration:
Floor-to-ceiling stone fireplaces blazing year-round. Eucalyptus hanging in showers. Rustic chandeliers and outdoor clawfoot bathtubs. Brass, copper, stone, wood, metal. Rocks, shells, driftwood, jade, aloe, butterfly chairs, and leather. Wooden bowls overflowing with citrus, flowers in jars, and rope. Hammocks filled with mangos and bananas. Magnolia, camellia, and hydrangea floating in fountains. Rhododendron in pottery and peacock feathers. Balinese day-beds, and African baskets. Dutch Doors and brick. Tulip tables, and Guatemalan fabrics. Mirrors, succulents, canvas umbrellas, milk crates, sheepskin, and spinning vinyl. Vintage dressers, arc lamps, and Chesterfield sofas. Ames chairs and butcher blocks. Herb-infused olive oil, and preserved lemons. Walls of windows and pocket French doors. Lights on dimmers and Corsican mint garden paths. Rammed earth, straw bale, and Mid-century modern homes. Line dried organic linens faded by the sun. Franco Albini ottomans and knotty pine walls. Parakeets and goldfish. Hudson Bay blankets and freshly picked lilacs. Bar carts and Moroccan bowls. Terracotta pots and red geraniums. Lanterns, candelabras, beeswax, marble coffee tables and wicker. Herbs pots on concrete countertops. Brown paper towels and off white sponges. Freshly mowed lawn and open widows. Hanging bead screens swaying in the wind. Rattan. Music. Hot salt baths, cast iron, cold plunges, and saunas.
This is the lush life.
I’m forever fascinated with home and the intricacies of how we inhabit our unique living spaces. Growing up in small dwellings taught me no matter where I lived, the potential for beauty is abundant. I was fortunate to live upon a rolling velvet lawn and a lake early on, instilling within me a deep connection to nature. I’ve always considered outside an extension of the home. Inspired by the courtyard culture of Central America and Europe, I practice bringing the natural world inside.
From painting to picking flowers, and rearranging furniture, my Grandmothers showed me the organic beauty and limitless joy of interior design, the delightful gratification that accompanies paying attention to one's environment. That our home is the canvas, and we are the artist. Living on boats taught me no matter the size, life is exotic. Residing in a 1911 farmhouse on an island allowed more opportunity for artistic potential in the home and garden. Wherever the address, life is lush, the possibilities are up to us.
I’ve called boats, tents, trailers, storage units, cabins, craftsmen, and condos home. Each eclectic space is an opportunity to live fully, regardless of square footage. A place to call our own, even temporarily, is allowed to be exquisite.
