10. Made With Meaningful MaterialsThis home is nestled in a Santa Barbara canyon overlooking the Santa Ynez Mountains. The homeowners wanted to use materials that meant something and tied the design to the region. One of the homeowners designed the dining table. Its top is made of reclaimed wood salvaged from the beach when the nearby Gaviota Pier was destroyed in a winter swell, and its steel base was inspired by the steel railroad trestles along the Gaviota Coast. Local craftspeople built the table: Neil Crancer of RHC Construction made the top, and Jeff Mielcarek of Artistic Wrought Iron made the base. The unique pelican lights honor local wildlife and were created by local artisan Danny Smith of Wood Reflections. Takeaway: Take the time to find local talent when looking to add special touches to your home. It will forge connections between your furniture and artwork and the place where you live.Learn more about this home
