When it comes to home furnishings and lighting, Kirsten Lee and I aren’t exactly new to the game. If you've peeked at our bios, you already know we both have been at this for over 30 years. That’s three decades of sourcing, styling, and curating beautiful pieces for the home. So, what does that mean for you? It means we know what we’re doing (most of the time).
But unlike us, Thomas Lee Living is the new kid on the block—our little spring chicken, if you will. Hatched from a deep love for home décor and a desire to share the pieces we adore; this business is our baby. And like any good parent, we’ve been learning along the way—especially about you, our wonderful customers.
It’s All About You
Let’s start with the obvious: you have excellent taste (but you already knew that). While we may have started Thomas Lee Living thinking it was about us, the reality is, it’s all about you. What catches your eye, which collections make you click "add to cart," what emails you actually open (and which ones you send straight to the abyss). Every decision we make—from sourcing to styling—is inspired by you.
The Thrill of the Hunt
When we head to buyer’s markets, we usually have a general idea of what we’re looking for—kind of. It’s less of a structured list and more of an ongoing conversation (which, let’s be honest, often involves wine). Our approach? We hunt for those "I want to keep this for myself" kind of finds—the ones so special, you almost don’t want to give them away.
Of course, not everything we pick makes the cut. We’re still getting to know each other, after all. Some pieces fly off the shelves, while others… well, let’s just say they don’t get quite the same love. And that’s okay! It’s all part of the process as we fine-tune what truly resonates with you.
What’s New at Thomas Lee Living?
As we grow, so do our collections! This year, we’ve already added two fresh new ones:
🌿 The Sundries Collection – A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Not quite home décor, but we had to have it.
🐣 Little Sprouts – Our first-ever children’s collection! We stumbled upon the softest, most lovable stuffed animals, and we just had to bring them home.
And if you love them as much as we do, we’ll keep adding more!
Growing, But Staying Rooted
Like any spring chicken, Thomas Lee Living is growing up. The trick is staying true to our roots—because that’s what got us here in the first place.
So, thank you for being part of our journey. We’re excited to step into spring with you, bringing more of what you love and discovering new treasures along the way.
Cheers to what’s next!
Anne Thomas & Kirsten Lee
