Founded In Tradition. A Style That Tells a Story.
Home decor, accent furniture, tabletop, wall art, area rugs & accessories. Classic interior design and casual outdoor living, in styles from traditional to coastal.
Our Story
We are two women from the East Coast, who share the love for antiques, dogs, hydrangea, the color green, cheese and red wine. When our paths crossed on the West Coast, Thomas Lee Living was conceived.
We have both been in the lighting and home furnishings industry for most of our careers, attending the same buyers’ markets with the same goal of exploring and seeking new and interesting products to share with our customers.
The foundation of our style is traditional infused with coastal elements, vintage vibes and classic design. We have hand selected every piece in our collections to bring you personal and thoughtful products we love and have in our own houses.
Your home is not a stage.
Your home is your story; it’s a place where you live with your family portraits, old and new furniture and your own style created with your home decor.
Thomas Lee Living is our story and we hope our products will help you create yours.

Saying Goodbye to Summer
Summer always goes too fast. Every year we swear we’ll slow it down, and every year it disappears in a blur of long days, quick dinners, and full calendars.
For Anne, summer means walking the dogs on the beach and hoping for one of those rare hot, sticky days in San Diego. The kind that calls for a cold drink and a good soft-shell crab sandwich. It means chasing the sunset with her camera and holding onto every bit of golden light. For Kirsten, it’s about ice cream trucks, fireflies, and boardwalk evenings—the kind of summer magic that doesn’t need much else.
Star-Spangled Summers: Why Red, White & Blue Feels Like the Season Itself
Memorial Day weekend always feels like a gentle unofficial nudge into summer. Grills get rolled out, porch pillows are fluffed and faded flags find their way to the front yard again. Red, white, and blue quietly take over—on everything from crab-shaped chip bowls to vintage blue Fiesta plates and red-and-white striped tablecloths. It's not just seasonal decor—it represents a celebration of warm weather, outdoor gatherings and longer days.
From Paris With Love: The Story Behind Our La Maison Collection
A few years back, Kirsten and I finally checked off something that had lived on our design dream list for years: a trip to Paris for the famed Maison & Objet show. We packed light (well, we tried), mapped out four days in the city, and added a must-stop at the legendary Paris Flea Market before heading south to Bordeaux for a little countryside charm and, of course, wine tasting.
