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.

Living on the Water Can Only Mean Living on the Bay (Chesapeake Bay- that is)
Growing up on the Chesapeake Bay was the foundation of my childhood and the source of many treasured traditions. Despite moving around frequently, the bay near Annapolis became my constant, my home. Yes, I'm one of those people who LOVE crabs! Every year, I have a bushel shipped to San Diego, where I enjoy my own little feast, picking crabs for myself and everyone else. My crab cakes are legendary, especially when paired with a corn and tomato salad, reminiscent of the farm stands we visited on trips to Rehoboth and Ocean City. The corn and tomatoes from those stands are simply the best, bursting with flavor.
How Growing Up on an East Coast Beach Shaped My Style and Lifestyle
Oh, the beach life! Growing up on the East Coast, the beach wasn't just a place; it was a vibe, a muse, a second home. I can still feel the salty air on my face, the sun-drenched sand underfoot, and waves crashing in my ears. Fast forward 46 years, and I've swapped coasts, landing a block and a half from the Pacific in sunny San Diego. Yet, my heart still whispers, “East Coast, best coast,” and I’m already plotting my retirement back east. But that’s a story for another time another blog.
Postcards from France: The Parisian Prints Collection
Bonjour! Anne and I were enchanted by France this past autumn, and from that adventure, our exclusive Parisian Prints collection was born. Captured through our lens while wandering the French landscape, these prints are a love letter to the everyday magic of Paris. Imagine them as a vignette on a cherished wall in your home, each serene and organic image weaving together the threads of romance, history, and design that are quintessentially French. The only thing missing? A bottle of Bordeaux to complete the scene. We hope these prints beckon you to celebrate France's heart and soul in your own space.
