A Charming Coastal Kitchen in a La Jolla Beach Cottage

Interior designer Leslie Martin invites us into her La Jolla beach cottage kitchen—an inviting, hard-working space at the center of her family’s home. Designed to balance beauty and function for a family of seven, the kitchen features stunning stonework, thoughtful detailing, and a warm, lived-in feel.

With shiplap accents and coastal touches woven throughout, Leslie has created a kitchen that feels both timeless and effortlessly relaxed—perfectly capturing the charm of seaside living.
