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.
What we didn’t expect was just how deeply this trip would shape us—and Thomas Lee Living.
Wandering through the flea market felt like tumbling into a dream of patinaed café saucers, vintage wicker bistro chairs, absinthe fountains, and hand-stitched linens that whispered stories from another time. We were enchanted. And when we made it to our sun-drenched château in Bordeaux, glass of rosé in hand, we couldn’t stop talking about how much we wanted to bottle this beauty up and bring it home.
So, we did.
Our Paris La Maison Collection was born from that trip—from the narrow cobblestone streets to the golden light over vineyard hills. We photographed every doorway, balcony, and back alley, then worked to skillfully transform these images into watercolors and turn those captured moments into exclusive wall art. What started as inspiration turned into an invitation—to you—to bring a bit of that French charm into your own home.
From the elegant hustle of Paris to the quiet romance of Bordeaux, this collection is a love letter to the city that reminded us why we do what we do: to create beautiful, meaningful pieces that help you tell your own story.
Take a stroll through our Paris La Maison Collection—we think you’ll fall for it just as we did.
Cheers,
Anne Thomas & Kirsten Lee
