lisa waud (flower house detroit)
Oh. My. Have you seen this yet? I just stumbled across, The Flower House, a stunning project by Detroit based flower designer Lisa Waud. Here’s the deal – she bought two totally run-down, abandoned houses in Detroit for $500, and then filled the first one with thousands of flowers bringing new, colorful life into this forgotten home if only for a moment. The photos are stunning, but this video {created for her indiegogo campaign to help fill the second house this coming October, then responsibly tear these structures down, and turn the cleared land into a flower farm!} gave me goosebumps. So nostalgic, inspiring, beautiful…

Amazing, thanks so much for sharing this. My family is from the Detroit area and the juxtaposition of these houses literally just blocks away from clean, developed, & modern areas is a strange and incredible sight to see. I love the ingenuity of the creative class there in bringing out the beauty of these areas.
