For designer Betsy Brown, luxury is worth next to nothing if not aligned with a feeling of home. What she’s after is authenticity—a sense of what resonates and a trust that what’s truest to you will feel inherently timeless. For her most recent client, this looked a lot like warm neutrals and vintage accents—and felt exactly like a space built for true family comfort.
