  1. Nice house but keeping the fire on and ‘cranking up the air conditioning’ – seriously?? Presumably she does realise we need to have a planet for future generations and we all need to play our part?

  2. Very beautiful home. All interior and decorations are beautifully thought out. It’s so cosy and moody at the same time. It doesn’t look very spaced in rather full of interesting things to admire.

  3. Furniture fixer, ha – that would be me:( And although I am also an American (living elsewhere) I felt shocked at her pronunciation of foyer and niche. Ouch. I also cringed at the double use of energy – fireplace gas and air conditioning electric. Maybe leave them both off if it gets too warm? I felt for her imagining when it was time to get out the china from in the cupboard under the stairs behind the table. 😮. Seriously, though, it's a lovely home that looks very comfortable to be in.

  4. The most interesting and beautiful home! I can see why she is in interior design! One question though, how can this stunningly beautiful woman have had 5 children and looks so fit and slim!?

  5. You are a wonderful hostess. Thank you for sharing your French inspired apartment. Well done! I love your ideas and the simplicity yet class in a well thought out design. Be careful though; quests could become squatters !😉😁

  6. My favorite home tour. I love her style and find her to be inspirational because ‘someday’ I want to be a designer. Right now I moonlight as one on Pinterest 😂

  7. Edit: Found it! Fermoie! My ear didn’t make out the fancy name😂 I’m searching the comments for the shell sofa fabric! I couldn’t make out the brand from London even w the cc on. Y from Y? I love it & this whole home!!!💙

  8. EVERYTHING done in this house is magic! This collected, cozy and comfortable home is exactly what many of us long for in our own homes. You are very talented and I love all the stories behind each piece that you have collected. And the icing on the cake is that this is a family home ; kids and a puppy !

  9. My mom had my grandmother's pickle jar. It was very much like that but pink etched glass. My sister took it to Tennessee with her and sadly passed away and it went missing. If I could find it, I surely would because there's definitely a connectedness to having it with you. Yours is beautiful! And you home is lovely. La Jolla has a great vibe to it.

  10. Hi. Thank you so much for sharing and showing us your wonderful house.
    It’s so beautiful and artistic and so well designed. I live in a very small house in Iceland Reykjavík. i love how your dining and sitting area looks and functions.
    That’s something i am trying to do! Where did you get those beautiful wall lamps(dining area wall)?
    Thank you and best regards from Iceland,
    Ellen

  11. Living through a kitchen renovation is so rough but look at my $20,000 range! It's not hard to clean because I don't cook! I just clean my stone over-grouted backsplash with rough sandpaper! Same with the white plaster hood vent! O.M.G. Haaahaaahaaa!

  12. Love this home! These days a house like this is considered tight for family living but back in more ‘normal’ times this would’ve been considered to be a large home. Leslie’s right though, it keeps everyone closer & it’s more manageable. She’s created so many beautiful spaces .. the dining/banquet area is fabulous, the kitchen is just my cup of tea .. moody, earthy, gorgeous. She’s a great designer/decorator. A great home.
