A Montecito Home: My Kind of Minimal

February 12, 2014

Well, hey there Wednesday! Mid-week just kind of came out of nowhere, didn’t it? We had a really full weekend with Sadie’s birthday festivities and a lot of extended family all topped off (coincidentally) by our latest BC stat holiday, Family Day. How lucky are we to live in a province/country that recognizes the importance of family? It felt great to have nothing on the agenda on Monday except hanging out together. Speaking of hanging out, if my name was on the deed of this dreamy white rancher, I’d find extremely hard to ever leave! Designed by architect Michael Eserts, this Californian beauty ticks off all of my wish-list boxes from lofty ceilings and oiled wood floors to an open floor plan and views that bring the outdoors in. Photographed by Jessica Comingore, I think this house tour is the perfect antidote to an otherwise dreary day:

I just can’t get enough of the natural light in this home! Doesn’t it look like it would be cool on a hot day? Yet somehow equally cozy next to the fireplace on a chilly night? The landscape and setting amidst the big trees is pretty fantastic as are the clean lines and attention to detail outdoors and in. Definitely my kind of minimal! Enjoy the rest of your day and I’ll be back to chat on Friday 🙂
