Today we welcome Laura Basili, co-founder of Brazilian Lumber and known as the Deck Diva. Laura has built her reputation around making decking and outdoor design, stylish, and fun.

With a background in literature and international relations, Laura naturally gravitated toward storytelling. Now she uses that skill to infuse beauty, creativity, and even a touch of glamour into the world of hardwoods, thermally modified woods, and outdoor living spaces.

For Laura, building materials aren’t just products—they’re the foundation of theplaces where life happens.
