Anh-Minh Le.
“Ultimately, my home is a representation of my past, present, and future. From one of my favorite spots in the house—the daybed in the living room—I can see an abstract painting acquired from a gallery in Vietnam (where I was born); an overflowing container of matchbooks (picked up during various trips); stacks of research material for the articles I’m currently working on (I live under constant deadline pressure); and photos of family and friends (of course). I can also envision, as I look over at the adjacent dining room—with its 10-foot table that most days is far more than my husband and I require!—holiday gatherings that are to come. No matter where we’ve lived, our decorating efforts have always emphasized one thing: bringing in reminders of the people and places that we hold dear.”

Clearly Anh-Minh’s home is as gorgeous as her magazine. I love how her home tells a story and has an abundance of light!
So in love with the color everywhere. – ALT for Living
Beautiful. Where is the dining table purchased? Lurv!
Hi Jen! The dining table was purchased from HD Buttercup in SF. At the end of the year, I think they usually hold a Friends & Family sale where everything is 20% off.
What a beautiful feature Victoria! I absolutely love Anh-Minh and her style.
It’s wonderful! Could someone tell me what the container of matchbooks was originally used for? Seems like I’ve seen something like that once before but can’t remember it’s purpose. Thank you :)
Hi Mike! The glass vessel was something Anthropologie carried a few years ago, and it was described as a candy jar. I later found out that it’s made by a Philly-based company called Lostine (www.lostine.com).
Thank you so much, Anh-Minh…I will begin my search for one :) Cheers!
What a beautiful space! Where did you find then bench with the storage underneath? I’ve been looking for something similar with a place for shoes.
Thanks!
Hi Gina! I picked it up at Anthropologie a few years ago. It’s a vintage piece that apparently came from an old school gymnasium. Someone should make a reproduction! Because the size is really great (not too deep or long, so it fits well in most spaces) and it’s so practical.
Gorgeous interior and a lot of lovely home decorations.
Wow! especially loving the dining room chairs.
