I’ve been dreaming up the idea of Madeleine since I was a little girl. My grandparents had an antique shop, and my grandmother, Joey, had the most impeccable eye. Everything about her had zest, confidence, and a kind of style that never asked for approval. She had an instinct for beauty and a certainty about what she loved—never swayed by trends or opinions. She was sure of her taste, and she had a gift for getting it just right.

She and my grandpa ran the shop, and my siblings, cousins, and I would visit and spend hours exploring every corner and making ourselves at home. We played endless games of hide-and-seek among the beautiful pieces, never once being told not to touch something. Instead, we were encouraged to wander, to pick favorites, to ask questions. It never felt intimidating—it just felt normal. I learned early that beautiful things aren’t meant to be tucked away for special occasions. Surrounding yourself with pieces that have history and soul makes a home feel personal—and that’s what makes it truly beautiful.

When we weren’t darting between armoires or hiding under tables, I’d settle near the front to watch as customers wandered in. There was a quiet kind of magic in the way someone would glance around and suddenly lock eyes with the piece they didn’t even know they were searching for. That kind of connection leaves a lasting impression.

It’s that same sense of discovery and meaning that inspired me to create Madeleine. At Madeleine, our mission is to curate timeless, meaningful pieces that bring effortless elegance to every home. I believe that beauty and sophistication should feel natural, not intimidating—helping you create spaces that reflect your personality and style. Whether it’s a storied antique or a one-of-a-kind vintage find, Madeleine is about more than décor—it’s about the memories each piece helps create.

Originally from Kansas City, I now live in Florida with my husband and our four kids—when I’m not brokering peace over toy turf wars, you'll find me hunting for hand-painted Italian ceramics, embroidered napkins with a wink, and silver pieces that turn any gathering into an occasion.

You’ve come to the right place—here’s to uncovering your perfect find.
