So... who cooks? About the back splash behind the stove -- even though you don't cook -- how do you keep that area free from food? Splashed oil? Spaghetti sauce? Is the stone sealed in some way? Curious!

👍

This, all of this is exactly the aesthetic I'm after but I have to modify for a coastal home. That is my dilemma:). Absolutely LOVE!

Loved this tour and your philosophy for decorating.

👍

Lovely cottage, very comfy and homey.

Leslie I love your home. Two questions..are you on Instagram and what white color did you paint your downstairs area? Thanks!! Love your style!!

Muy bien decorada.

Very cozy beautyful

Gorgeous! I love the collected look, everything works so well together and you can tell that a comfortable but beautiful home for her family is at the center of her design.

This sweet, cozy space is just delicious. I don't think I'd ever leave.

So lovely

I think this house is a dream , so cozy i like it very much. The colors are my prefers! ❤

my kind of house, very spacious. Love the colours. She seems nervous though, says eehm every 5 seconds

Does anyone else think her statement "No, because I don't cook" is hilariously ironic? She has a beautiful kitchen and has no idea how she sounds when she says she doesn't cook! Please!~

Beautiful house

I LOVE your home!!! It's everything style wise I'm looking for! I had to keep pausing or rewinding the video to take it all in! Just love all of it!! We are in the very very early stages of designing and building a home on beautiful Lake Geneva WI, just north of Chicago. Your home exemplifies the relaxed feel but still elegant and yet comfy and also antique filled and traditional but warm, inviting and livable! Love Love Love!

Ugly kitchen. NO Plants ! Paper towels --- environmentalWASTE !! USE T TOWELS ,! LINEN of course !

Ugly kitchen, galley style, NO NATURAL LIGHT. AWFUL. MEN DON'T care about counter tops. Sooooo.....sad and dull ? VIOLA ????

I have dozens of Chrystal perfume bottles my grandfather purchased in London during WW1. OF COURSE, it started in 1914 But americans didn't enter till 1917, 3 years late , the cowards. So you missed out on those perfume bottles ! Your displays are ignorant colonial grotesquites!

15 years ago, no curating No layering Catch words--- B.S. BAFFLES BRAINS !

Once again, guilded book covers of books you've never read ! EXPENSIVE WALLPAPER ,--- never read books. Be PROUD !

Chair covers --- omoebas trpped in boxes.

I notice that you only have designer dogs.

I see very few books ! Only decor books? Novels published before 1950 ? Seems crappy !

I keep returning to this beautiful home! What a fantastic spot! Totally get why you would, I would too. The word "proximity' applies, they say the happiest families are those living close together. This one you've made into a little jewel, absolutely adore your style and love the nautical historical reminders.

Serena & Lilly. PS: This house is not small nor is it a cottage.

It’s just a bit too perfect…People out there in tents and then this..

What an authentic designer! Not only is this house ga-ga, to die for, but her non-precious attitude toward her home and everything in it is AWESOME.

Beautiful! I ❤️ La Jolla.

Some of the decor is tasteful, but a lot of it is too busy plus imagine dusting around all that stuff. Sweet dog 🥰

Love this home so much. Favourites are the mural and the banquet. Where do you get a banquet like that?

Yes, when you are wealthy, you can have a pretty home. One of the dining room sconces is $1,075.00 plus the cost of the shade.

I love everything about this and the designer’s philosophy on what makes a home

Is this in San Diego?

I love her thought process of taking a boring 90s home and giving it charm and history! My house is 1949 Miami but has no charm either. Every thought that went into every piece or decision… it was sooo well thought out and I love she like home should be meant to be used.

Love , love, love your design. The piece that you put together in each room is so delicate to my eyes it is inspiringly beautiful. I love the kitchen design and your attention to details with it comes to your marble place application. The appliances and the copper wares all match together beautifully delightful to look at.

Thank you! You are the answer to my prayers. Just moved into a Spanish Revival and don’t like the tile…..the concreta is brilliant and so beautiful 🥰 I love your home, beautiful with tons of character. Truly you have it all🩷

Beautiful!

Beauty and warmth and love

would you be able to share the paint color of the sunroom? :)

Its great how she can mix many styles and keep it cohesive throughout. It appears to be really cozy. Beautiful home.

Beautiful house.❤❤❤

Not a cottage and its DEFINITELY NOT overlooking the ocean......it does however look over rooftops 😂😂😂

"The sound of FREEDOM❤🇺🇸❤️" love it! Coronado Island is the best thing about San Diego!! Very nice people! I agree 😊

Some 70's Show 😮

Love this house so cosy and casual yet elegant. Love the top terrace!

What a beautiful lady. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home and garden. My sincere sympathy for your loss. I lost my husband six years ago and know your grief. God bless. Colleen Pratten, Australia.

“Sort of”

Love, love this house. It is not a beach cottage and oddly described as such by a designer!
