Every House has a story...a soul.  My job as a designer is to tell that story.

    Santa Barbara Style

    Have you ever been looking thru a magazine and experienced An OMG moment?  Well this just happened to me.  Every so often I like to pick up a Santa Barbara Magazine just to see what's going on up the Coast where the beautiful people live.  (Santa Barbara is about a thee hour drive up the coast from the little town I live in.)

    I love to pour over all of the real estate listings in Montecito. Dream of having a Spanish villa with rolling grounds down to the ocean.....  OOps sorry back to my OMG......The design spread this month was for an amazing Spanish Style farm house.  The two talented designers that transformed this home into a "Diamond"from it's rough state are Barbara Wiseley and Richard Hallberg.  It is so stunning I thought I would share it with you.  You can read the article at sbmag.com   Here are the pictures from the print version of Santa Barbara Magazine. 

     

     

     

     

    What do you think?  I think the perfect mix of Old and New, Rustic with just the right amount of elegance.  Move over I have packed my bags and I am moving in.  Think they will mind? I can Cook....

    Hi! Thank you so much for your advice on my kitchen. A sub-zero and wolf would do wonders for my home. We are thinking of starting with the fridge and then work our way up to the wolf range. So expensive! But it is something we will never tire of or want to change later! I am right with you on this home you posted about....OMG! I saved some of the images for my decor files. I love all the layering and it is so interesting and homey. Have a great day!

    Agree with you totally Sue, this is a home, not just a house. The colour scheme is a perfect foil for all the Owners treasures. The garden is divine too - the idea of creating little 'rooms' within the layout works perfectly.
