Hi! My name is Kayla. I'm a stay at home mom based in Smithfield, Virginia and I paint flowers on found things!
It's Better With Blooms came from a need to find purpose outside of motherhood combined with a passion for minimizing my own material consumption. I started with painting on furniture in my own home and grew from there to painting and selling furniture, home decor items, leather goods, and ceramics.
Most of what I sell is upcycled and usually vintage. Everything is one of a kind and free hand panted with appropriate paint types for the base material. I sometimes paint animals and bugs, but generally include folk art style flowers in most of my work. I love the concept of taking something old and discarded and covering it with bright happy flowers to bring new life to it!
My packaging is all reused to further minimize waste and I ship same or next business day in most cases.
I'm always finding new things to paint so follow me on Instagram or check back for new items!
