This home is stunning. It feels like a coastal New England home and not a California home. Lots of inspiration.
Rarely do I see a home tour with every…single…space designed and decorated so beautifully. Inside and out…sensational. You should be so very proud of such talent. It is not something that comes easily to the rest of us. Well done! 💫. There is a definite need for a green-with-envy emoji! 💚💚💚

Sensational indeed! 💚
"I don't cook." Did you see that stove???? I can't imagine having 5 kids and not preparing their meals. It's an act of love every time I prepare something for them. I cook constantly and have 4 burners.😂 I wish I had her stove. The design and decore in this house are stunning.

well maybe her husband cooks, cooking is not for everyone
Your home is beautiful and it’s not small like you say! 5 kids is a lot but I’ve seen 5 kids growing up in a 3 bedroom mobile home. You are very blessed to have such a beautiful home. It’s just stunning!🥰❤️
Homeworthy -this is a winner. These are the kinds of homes to show everyone. Beautifully curated and wonderful host.
I’m Texan and never want to leave but anytime i go to the ocean i feel like it’s calling for me. Lol. I need a home by the sea ❤😂
Gosh I love her house so much. It’s just so cozy! She did a great job. The balconies and rooftop areas are just so fun
I love that there was a recurring theme of the host loving the imperfection of things. Hard to believe in such a stunning home, but I found that incredibly inspiring!
I've seen this lady's home before. I love it and her, I'm so glad she actually decorated her house and made it homely and snug. Usually homes near the water are white, blue and beach themed.
What a beautiful home! I love how she appreciates every single item in her home. I guess that makes it even more beautiful!!!!!!
Watching yet again. Never tire of seeing this lovely home and gracious host.

Same here! I think I have watched this same one at least 3 or 4 times! It’s just sooo cozy and that ocean view is to die for ❤
That's so fun to think that in your 20's, you drove by this location a million times not knowing that you'd be living there one day...and with 5 kids! Beautiful
One of the most relatable designers I have ever seen. Your home is so inviting and intriguing. So much to see and yet so open and well placed. And you puppy stole the show. Than you for sharing.

It’s relatable to crank the air on up so she can have the Fire place on at all times -in Southern California!?
Great use of space in every room, cozy, classy, warm and inviting... talented designer for sure! Miss Bird Rock and Lajolla in general..❤❤❤
Leslie, I think we are so much alike except for our pocketbooks and waistlines! I heart you and your home!

LOVE the wall up the stairs and love love love the kitchen!!
What a beautiful home! Love the mural. It definitely gives a special character to the house. Agree with the curtain at the entrance door. It provides privacy and the color and texture of the fabric gives an attractive touch of color. I usually do not prefer all White House’s but there is enough color in the decoration to make it feel warm and inviting. What I like the most is that it doesn’t look like a ‘magazine home’. It has its own individual personality
By far my favorite episode of homeworthy.
I love this home, so much character.
Your home is so comfortable. It doesn't look "decorated" it looks curated as if every piece in your home has a history or a story. That's the goal at our house. It takes a while but it's worth it. Thank you for sharing your home.
I love that your kids are able to decorate their rooms with their favorite things, I feel sorry for those immaculate kids' bedrooms created by other interior designers. Beautiful home!!!
Perfection! This is my new home inspiration.
She gets me. I love the vibe.
Wow! What a vibe. I really love what she did with her space. I am super impressed she was able to make a home that size work for a family of 7. I'd make concessions too if I could live off the ocean.
I love everything about this house. I love the colors, the shapes, and, of course, the views of the ocean. Well done, and thank you for sharing!
Such a charming hostess & a gorgeous home.
Very entertaining...and I LOVE the collected look...it's so charming...
A "small" house..... Oh me heart weeps for ya luv!
LOVE this home and her style! Well done.
Your home is a showcase without screaming showcase - looks beautifully lived in - absolutely stunning!❤❤
I love the style of your home, the pieces, the color pallet but I just love the layout of your home, it's very unique!
Never enough lamps and sconces❤
Love this home. Putting those windows in the living room was perfection. And, I was so happy when she mentioned the double hung, small slat shutters. My friend was throwing out all of her old shutters years ago , exactly like that. They stayed in my garage for years. Then I had someone frame out my large window and fit them in. I was just thinking they look outdated... not anymore! Thanks! Love the mural and stair runner. What a statement when you first walk in. I also have decor coffee table books everywhere, I can't stop collecting them . Love the dining and kitchen area. But, how do you not cook with 5 children? I want to know that secret! Everything about this home is warm and cozy, yet stylish.
It's all very beautiful...but that roof deck is REALLY something special. Thank you for sharing your home.
Exquisite. Truly a functional and glamorous beach side gem! ❤
This feels like so much of a home
I love how refined and real you are at the same time, esp with your beautiful decor tips for living with kids. Love love love your style so much!
A truly wonderful and charming home and hostess, no doubt about that. But what puzzles me is 'if I have to crank up the air-con, so I can turn on the fireplace, I'll crank up the air-con', meanwhile a few of us are trying to reduce their carbon footprint by being more mindful with our energy consumption. Given that there are more tornados and storms that insurance companies, the planet and ultimately all of us will be able to handle one day it's even harder to understand. But hey, I guess we're all doing our best.
beautiful home. Love the drapes that cover the front door. Very VERY English..... I just love the wallpaper in your bedroom. I'm considering this for the eating area of my kitchen. Love the Roman shades everywhere and I love the off white drapes on black rods. I did the same! It makes every room very "upscale". Fun fact: I used to work with Patrick Wade and Dave Demattei at Lucky Jeans. What I don't love is that you have the fireplace on even if it's very warm and crank the AC to offset the heat. that's a little tone deaf for me considering the global climate crisis. Overall I think you did a great job but it sounds like you are already thinking of moving on to the next home. Good luck!
Beautiful home full of warmth. I love your collected style. Thanks for letting us in your home. My favs are the murial, bankette, and how it's all white walls but warm at some time not sterile/cold feeling. Great job!
I love phil or gary or whoever. I, too, picked up an instant ancestor from Brimfield.
Exquisite. Leslie, I adore your style & class.
La Jolla..meaning The Gem..( in spanish) La Jolla is a beautiful place. Im not very far, I say about 20 min when the 5 isn't congested ❤
Beautiful home and love your style!
Love this tour! What a great home!
A lot of her philosophies about materials and eclecting, I share. A lot of good design advice and wisdom here. Lovely home… I would use her services if I could afford her. How do you not get sad when you have to leave a home? We sold our home in a beautiful forest area that was a similar size… I got so overwhelmed by the size of it and having to clean it that we swung from that 1700 sq ft house to a 750 sq ft house. I’m sad we left it, it had a beautiful view of the lake.
Not a fire and air at the same damn time (Future voice).
what a warm house
I can't for the life of me visualize 5 children in this home! Would love to be a fly on a wall to see how this home really works for those children! More of a show instead of love!

Absolutely stunning home! Very inspiring!
So good! Just my style and very inspiring. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home!

I beg to differ. I lived in southern California for 18 years. By the super wealthy, “over-the-top” La Jolla standards this is a cottage. Albeit, extraordinarily cottage 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😄

They’re gonna outgrow this house soon. When you’re rich, you can renovate the shit out of your house in under two years and move out by year four.

l😂 La Jolla gives that away. I don’t think there’s any cottages there
I love every inch of this talented designer's home! She has that certain something called "style." This house is one of my favorites. Leslie graciously named many of her sources, but is there any chance of getting a full list? Thank you for this video.
This is perfect!
Small?! I guess it’s all about our individual perspective. You house isn’t small. Nope. 5 kids or not….its perfect.
Gorgeous home!!
Lovely lady, Lovely home
this house is so well thought out. you are a great designer. As I was watching I was wondering what the main floor ceiling height is. Would you mind sharing. I am doing a new build and wavering between 9 ' or 10' ceiling with an english cottage look in mind. your place is cozy but not stifling looking with the ceiling height!
This is the most east coast home I have ever seen on the west coast, and I love it.

"Beach Shack"? Hahahahaha my entire home would fit in your living room/kitchen lol
Gorgeous home. Curious where all the kids' stuff (arts and crafts, toys, games, sports equipment, books) go. If the children are all doubled up in their bedrooms, I'd assume there's not enough space in their personal bedrooms for everything. Love love your artistic ability - just wanna know your kiddie storage secrets!

I am highly doubtful this is their primary residence or where the majority of the kids' things actually reside as per her opening comment of, "Hi I'm Leslie, welcome to my home in California."
Love your home, so cozy and beautiful. I do have a question about the candles on your dining table. Were the candles wax or flameless?
Gorgeous home! Love the paint color in the sunroom what is that green taupe color?
Beautiful and cozy. I love the entry way rug. Where can I find something like this? Is it vintage? The color is what I'm looking for.
Love your home. Love the Dining Room! Are the blue candles on the table wax or flameless flicker candles?
Oh, this is another home worthy that I have saved to learn from and to be inspired by… I love that she somewhat, bucked the California look to bring in the style that she really loves… It totally works there and boy is it my jam! I love historic looks and I love texture and all the colors she has! I would love to Copy her kitchen, someday, Lord willing! I would love to get her Instagram account, do you have that, please?
У красивого душой человека должен быть красивый дом.
Stunning
Love the staircase it is so elegant, did you say that the company where you purchased the mural from was in London as I am in the uk (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery)
Your exterior hand rails on upper floors - are they painted wood or are the man made materials? They look perfect. Michael McGough Montgomery, AL
Lovely home. Does she ever smile?
