Holiday Season at Designs by Lee

The holidays have officially arrived at Designs by Lee — and our lath house has been completely transformed into a magical Christmas space filled with fresh trees, warm lights, and all the seasonal touches that make this time of year special. We can’t wait to help you kick off the season.
