Courtney Dawley grew up in New England accompanying her mom on trips to flea markets, antique shops and yard sales. These adventures led to a great appreciation for decor from all eras and a love to dig through dusty boxes to unearth treasure. After attending design school Courtney paid the rent through a mix of skills including manufacturing bespoke cabinetry hardware, fabrication and installation for retailer windows on Madison Avenue and finally prop styling for both editorial and advertising clients.

A key component of her career as a stylist was sourcing items that bring a room together and transform a picture into a cover story. While her career path has shifted, she still loves to find unique items that make a space feel really special.  Swing by Found by a Prop Stylist where you'll find vintage and handmade items that will make any home photo ready.
