Moving up to Santa Barbara from LA was a dream that we made happen a year ago. Can't believe it has already been a year! Finding our dream house in our budget was not going to happen on that timeline. Having survived two renovations since our marriage ten years ago, we were pretty determined to NOT do another one. However, when we discovered this 1890s farmhouse with a pool and a guesthouse and a tangle of gardens (woods?!) on a little lane in the heart of Montecito, we starting rethinking.
