Emily Brownell founded Gilded Hearth in 2018 after working for Homepolish and graduating from Syracuse University. She was born and raised in NY’s Hudson Valley and spent a lot of her summer in the Adirondacks. These surroundings inspired her deep appreciation for nature which she showcases with her juxtaposition of rustic elements and modern materials.

Emily loves the hunt tracking down that perfect piece that fits into your home and your home only. If you have an idea in your head but no way to figure out how to include it, then Emily’s out of the box thinking will be your friend.

When she’s not creating one of kind interiors Emily can be found enjoying the California sunshine with her husband and two young children. Her dream projects are converting an old church into a residence and returning to her roots in Upstate NY to create a lake side cabin.
