about me
Hi there! I’m Cristina (no ‘h’) Lehman
I’m the owner and principal designer at C.LehmanHome. I live in Pleasant Hill, California about 30 miles East of San Francisco. While I’ve lived here for the last 16 years, I’m originally from Southern California. I’ve been happily married for 17 years, am a mom of two (girl and boy), a dog mom (husky/border-collie/heeler mix) and also have a few (a lot) plant babies. My background is in digital marketing and I’ve been honing my interior design and decorating/styling skills for the past 10 years. Friends and family often came to me with questions on designing and styling their homes and it was really my passion so I decided I wanted to help more people with creating spaces they loved.
I design homes with function and purpose in mind and strive to make beautiful spaces that homeowners want to be homebodies in. My superpower is great design while sticking to a budget. Just like you, I appreciate a beautifully designed home but don’t think you have to spend a ton to have it. I believe that great home style & design doesn’t have to cost a fortune and that it has the power to transform and improve overall wellbeing.
nice to meet you!
our Design Style
Our design style is a happy mix of warm modern and California casual, a little modern rustic/farmhouse, a touch of mid-century modern, with sprinkles of Scandinavian and Boho. You could say it's eclectic, but at the heart of it is mixing different styles and price points and mixing old and new pieces to create spaces that feel collected over time but still feel modern and fresh. We love designing laid-back, inviting homes that make you feel joy and at ease as soon as you walk in.
C.LEHMANHOME
C.LehmanHome was born out of Cristina’s passion for unfussy and approachable interior design at an affordable price. When she bought her first home, she had no idea of how she wanted her home to feel or what her design style was. She also didn’t know how to combine her style with her partner’s style and how to get what they wanted on a limited budget. Over time, a lot of research and countless costly mistakes later, they figured out what their style was and she honed her ‘designer-eye’. Cristina loves helping people and believes that new homeowners are at a stage where they need the most help with interior design.
Our hope is to help potential clients navigate this new homeowner stage of furnishing and styling a house — quicker than they can on their own, while avoiding costly mistakes so they can enjoy living in their home instead of worrying about all the design decisions they have to make.
