�� Originally built during the era when people liked to park their Buick to enjoy it from their living room window, there was only an asphalt parking lot in front. We moved the garage door to the front and created a new driveway on �� the side replacing it with a winding path �� to the front door through a welcoming �� low water use landscape. The silver palate �� enhances the smooth stucco and simple garage doors. “Our house is a celebration �� of timeless, traditional style with unique modern touches. It works and its stunning!” �� Maricel Hines added. �� “Each house presents unique opportunities”, shared �� Karen Phillips. “We raised the roof giving every room �� high beamed ceilings. It was a lot of work but now the �� inside feels seamless with the endless views outside.” ��

“We build houses to live in forever in terms of the quality of the work, the efﬁciency, and the timelessness of the design,” stated Hugo Garcia.

Another Project – Nearing Completion

Five sets of French doors let this Santa Barbara view ﬂow into almost every room of the house.

Vintage light ﬁxtures complement new French faucets in the Master bath

“It’s exciting to be able to give new life to cast away treasures,” added Maricel Hines. “I fell in love with these leaded glass panels. We used them to craft fully operable, efﬁcient double paned windows which makes the sunlight dance in this room.”

Cherishing the grand rooms and historical details, adding all new mechanical systems, plumbing, electrical, bathrooms, kitchen, and Master bedroom, this elegant treasure will be ready to be someone’s very special home. 1721 Santa Barbara Street. Coming Winter 2015.

AMERICAN LIFE IN POETRY

Column 537

By Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate

NE OF THE FIRST USES OF LANGUAGE��

Doing Laundry In Budapest The dryer, uniform and squat as a biscuit tin, came to life and turned on me its insect eye. My t-shirts and underwear crackled and leapt. I was a tourist there; I didn’t speak the language. My shoulders covered themselves up in churches, my tongue soothed its burn with slices of pickle. More I don’t remember: only, weekends now when I stand in the kitchen, sorting sweat pants and pairing socks, I remember the afternoon I did my laundry in Budapest, where the sidewalks bloomed with embroidered linen, where money wasn’t permitted to leave the country. When I close my eyes, I recall that spinning, then a woman, with nothing else to sell, pressing wilted ﬂowers in my hands. We do not accept unsolicited submissions. American Life in Poetry is made possible by The Poetry Foundation (www.poetryfoundation.org), publisher of Poetry magazine. It is also supported by the Department of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
