Meet the Founder

Flora Bae Home was conceptualized 20 years ago, Natalie, a Michigan native who has lived all over the country including Chicago, Denver, Colorado Springs and Los Angeles never thought that she would end up in Northern Michigan to open her flag ship Lifestyle Boutique. 
 

She was vacationing in the Petoskey area the summer of 2020 and fell in love with the beautiful resort town and felt that Petoskey would be the perfect place to open her first boutique. She spent some of her childhood summers in Traverse City, so it only seemed fitting and a bit fate-like,  that Natalie would end up back in Michigan to open her shop after exploring other parts of the country over the last 25 years.

 

Flora Bae Home found its home in Petoskey, Michigan,  nestled along the shores of  Little Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan, on Howard St. in the Gaslight Shopping District. This beautiful resort community is steeped in history, Victorian architecture, and breathtaking views.

​

Flora Bae Home is a home shop with a focus on women artists and women owned small businesses,  where boho chic meets eclectic with mid century modern touches.  Products are curated and sourced by Owner Natalie Bae Lauzon.  Interior Design services and consultations are available on a case by case basis.

​

Flora Bae Home also offers Permanent Jewelry and a fragrance bar experience, Bae Atelier, a journey into scent, a workshop within Flora Bae to create your own custom scented Room/Linen Spray, Room Diffuser or Essential Oil Rollerball!

 

Over the span of her life,  Owner, Natalie Lauzon has been empowered by many strong and successful women starting with her Grandmother.  As she began her career, a trend kept happening and numerous strong female business owners hired her.  All of them encouraged her to follow her dreams and were a huge inspiration in Natalie opening Flora Bae Home.  

 

The majority of Natalie's professional development has been working side by side with amazing, creative, entrepreneurial woman including but not limited to a James Beard winning Pastry Chef Mindy Segal of HotChocolate Bakery, interior designer/floral designer/boutique owner,  Elizabeth Cronin and Amy Child Marella, an innovative floral designer/small business owner with a leading Floral Design Studio in Los Angeles. 
 

Natalie's career in full service event planning, design and decor, floral design, art and marketing all shaped her into to the innovative, creative, service oriented, business owner she is today.
