Quick and Easy Spring Home Updates
With all of the rain and cooler temps we’ve experienced along the Central Coast lately, it doesn’t really feel like spring. However, while walking to my car a few days ago, I got my first whiff of jasmine for the season and was pleasantly reminded that, in fact, spring is upon us. For me, the arrival of spring and longer days tends to inspire me to freshen up my home.
Although major renovation projects usually require months of planning and a large budget, it is possible to breathe new life into a room without spending a lot of time or money. From changing up the artwork on your walls to painting an heirloom piece of furniture, here are some of my go-to ways to quickly elevate any space.
Upcycle your old furniture: Perhaps you’ve been given some furniture from a family member or been gifted an heirloom piece that has been passed down several generations. But, let’s be honest — it just isn’t your style. Give your older furniture a new lease on life with paint! You’ll want to lightly sand the item first to remove any buildup of dirt or oils and then paint it using chalk paint. There are so many fun colors of chalk paint available, and my favorites are black or navy blue for painted nightstands or dressers. Add some brass hardware and you’ve got a one-of-a-kind gem, upcycled to complement your style.
Paint your front door: Perhaps you drive the same route every day to work and always admire that light-blue door of your neighbor’s home. Painting your door a new color only requires a small amount of paint and a few supplies and can add instant curb appeal. Add some potted flowers or succulents to the entryway and you’ll be the envy of the block!
Install lights in closets: Although you may not have an oversized, walk-in closet with extensive shoe shelving to rival that of Carrie in Sex and the City (the movie version), installing lights in a closet can help create a high-end look while also adding functionality. Look for LED motionsensor strip lighting and install it on the bottom of an upper shelf (or wherever it makes sense for your closet).
Go thrifting: Not only is thrifting a fun activity, but it’s also a great way to add some new items to your home while not overspending or over-consuming. Combining vintage artwork and decor with your contemporary or mid-centurymodern furniture makes a room feel layered and lived in. Plus, you can donate items that you’re no longer using at the same time.
Brighten your space with a rug: One way to quickly change the look and feel of a room is to add (or update) a rug. Rugs can add a lot of personality and character but also go a long way in making spaces feel larger and brighter. Although rugs can cost thousands of dollars, many affordable options do exist. Look for some while you’re at the thrift store and keep your eye on sales, both online or at local retailers.
Upgrade cabinet hardware: Completely renovating your kitchen or bathroom is a large undertaking, but replacing outdated knobs and pulls on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities can refresh a room’s aesthetic for far less. Just adding new hardware in
your bathroom with a new mirror and towel bars can go a long way in making it feel updated. And if you feel like you’re in the DIY groove, paint the cabinets while you’re at it!
Add some plants: Even if you don’t have a green thumb, adding a plant or two to your living room adds life and texture. If you’re not sure which types of plants will do well in your space, ask the experts at local nurseries for advice. Plants filter air while also adding a finishing touch to any room.
I’d love to see your spring updates! Tag me on social media @vacayrentaldesign

“As a first-time homebuyer, it is clear to me that Caleb values quality communication in every direction. He is thorough, patient, and supportive. He went above and beyond for us, and importantly, he checked in with our comfort and understanding every step of the way. I will always be grateful for Caleb’s strategic expertise in a market as competitive as Santa Barbara. His understanding of the market -and of how we could fit into it - get full credit for the purchase of our new home.
Thank you, Caleb!” -K.K.
“We decided to purchase a property in our local area and closed in 10 days! Caleb handled all the necessary negotiations and paperwork, he is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and used all of his contacts to facilitate our timeline. We really appreciated him going the extra mile and highly recommend working with him.”
-J&H
“Caleb made our first real estate purchase a breeze. He was very insightful at every open house, communicative and available at nearly every hour of the day, and worked to understand exactly what we were looking for. We had a few hiccups along the way and Caleb handled every twist and turn as the true professional he is. We were continually impressed by his ability to clear obstacles and stand as our advocate and agent throughout the home-buying process. I have already recommended Caleb as a real estate agent for his expertise, hard work, and easygoing manner. 10/10.”

Jim Morouse and Peter Schuyler Honored as Persons of the Year
On April 17 at the Santa Barbara Foundation’s Person of the Year Awards, Jim Morouse and Peter Schuyler were honored for their extraordinary voluntary service. More than 300 guests came out for the tribute, including dozens of nonprofit leaders and many philanthropists, community activists, and elected officials.
Morouse, with decades of global marketing experience, has taught at Westmont College, UCSB, and Leading from Within, the latter of which trains community leaders. He chaired the Lobero Theatre’s Encore! Capital Campaign and the boards of Westmont Foundation and Santa Barbara Foundation (SBF).
Leading from Within Founder and Interim Executive Director Ken Saxon thoughtfully presented Morouse with the award, pointing out attributes that make Morouse an extraordinary leader, including one of the best strategy and marketing minds he’s ever encountered, which has enabled Morouse to help organizations become more innovative and impactful. This has included SBF, where he was a “transformational chair.” Saxon lauded Morouse’s talents as a teacher, saying, “He’s very simply one of the best,” and pointed to his human qualities, which emanate while he skillfully leads: being kind, appreciative, and humble; introducing goofy fun; and otherwise making service a joyful experience.
Schuyler has advanced environmental causes for decades, including as co-chair of the Foothills Forever campaign, which raised $18.6 million from thousands of donors in 90 days to preserve the San Marcos Foothills. Schuyler chaired the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden’s (SBBG) $4 million Backcountry Campaign; served as board chair of SBBG and the Environmental Defense Center;
and was on the boards of the Community Environmental Council, Fairview Gardens, and the Midland School. He regularly volunteers his time to search for rare plants and lead educational trips on Santa Cruz Island.
Professionally, Schuyler was the director of the Santa Cruz Island Preserve for The Nature Conservancy, head of Natural Area Reserves program in Hawai‘i, and director of ecological restoration for the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy.
Community Environmental Council CEO Sigrid Wright delivered a heartwarming tribute to Schuyler, with anecdotes from his youth evincing his curiosity, resource-
fulness, and deep connection to nature. Calling Schuyler unflappable, solid, and tough, Wright emphasized Schuyler’s deep commitment to serve environmental causes, including working for decades to successfully get three species delisted from the Endangered Species List and working to build back the S.B. Botanic Garden after the Jesusita Fire.
In preparing her remarks, Wright related, “I had the odd and unshakeable feeling of observing a wild animal in its habitat” and posited a few likenesses, including a beaver, “doing the extraordinary behind-the-scenes work that most people don’t realize until the landscape is just transformed … or a mountain lion silent for long stretches, just taking it all in. Only the eyes moving. Twitch of the tail. Tracking everything. Patient and persistent. Or a polar bear impervious to external conditions…. It’ll be cold and wet and, by every measure to most humans, miserable. Everyone else is bundled in fleece and Gore-Tex. Peter is in a T-shirt and shorts…. Peter lives softly and gently, but he doesn’t live small. He approaches life with curiosity, for the adventure of it, knowing when he initiates some big, hairy, audacious goal that he may not see the ending. Or may fail entirely. But as he once told me: ‘I know what will happen if we don’t do it. What will happen if we do?’”
Schuyler’s father, Barry, was a UCSB professor who helped launch its Environmental Studies Department. His mother, Jean, was a big philanthropist and activist who also received this award.
Morouse and Schuyler were selected by previous recipients of the award, with input from nonprofit leaders. Nominations are sought from the general public through myriad channels.
Last year, SBF awarded $6.3 million in discretionary funds to S.B. County–based nonprofits. It awarded another $21.8 million in donor-directed grants to nonprofits, 70 percent of which were based in Santa Barbara County. SBF’s most recent reports: The State of Nonprofits in Santa Barbara County, the Housing Affordability Report, and SBF’s 2024-2028 Strategic Roadmap, are available on its website, sbfoundation.org

THE ROLE OF THE BUYER’S AGENT IN THE REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION (PART ONE)
Dear Readers:
As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of real estate we are hearing a lot lately about how the proposed lawsuit settlement with the National Association of REALTORS® will allow buyers the freedom to represent themselves in a real estate transaction. We want to highlight the facts surrounding what a buyer’s agent brings to the transaction.
Those who do not fully understand everything that a buyer’s representative brings to the transaction like to generalize their role by saying things like “all they do is open a door for a buyer” or “with today’s technology it’s easy for a buyer to find a home online”. While it is true that technology has made it easier to see what is available for sale in an area, “finding” a home is not the same thing as “buying” a home. Today, we focus on the crucial initial search process and highlight the invaluable benefits buyers gain by partnering with a buyer's agent.
Determining Buyer Needs and Budget: The partnership between a buyer and their agent starts with a thorough consultation to best understand their homeownership goals and financial readiness. Through thoughtful discussions and analysis, they identify must-have features, desired locations, lifestyle preferences, and financial capabilities which lay the foundation for a targeted search. The buyer’s agent will also guide their client through the prequalification process and help them gather necessary
Michele
financial documents and connect with reputable lenders.
Time Savings and Market Expertise: A buyer’s agent will leverage their market expertise and industry tools to streamline your property search, presenting curated listings that align with their criteria, saving valuable time and effort. A buyer’s agent will also have access to listings before they come to market. These opportunities offer a buyer a competitive edge over buyers who solely rely on technology sites like Homes.com, Zillow and Redfin.
Property Showings and Evaluation: Armed with a buyer’s criteria, the agent will arrange and facilitate property viewings, providing guidance over what to be aware of during each visit. They evaluate properties based on the buyer’s priorities, considering factors such as neighborhood amenities, school districts, commute times, and potential for future appreciation. Additionally, an agent can help a buyer evaluate not just the physical features but also the financial implications of each property. They consider factors such as property taxes, HOA fees, and potential maintenance costs to ensure informed decision-making.
Market Trends and Real-Time Updates: Staying informed is key to making informed decisions. An agent will provide up-to-date market trends, pricing insights, and real-time listing updates, empowering a buyer with the knowledge needed to navigate negotiations and seize opportunities swiftly.
Tailored Offer Preparation and Negotiation: Once a property is found that fits the buyer’s needs, the agent will

then begin the next phase of the home buying process, preparing an offer that is tailored to their needs and the market conditions. We will discuss that process in detail in an upcoming article.
In conclusion, there is a reason that surveys show that 9 out of 10 homebuyers say they would use a buyer’s agent when purchasing a home again. By utilizing the services of a buyer’s agent, they gain access to a vast set of resources and expertise that is focused on serving the buyer in what is likely the largest purchase of their lives.
Warmly, Michele Allyn
and currently serves as the President of the Board of Directors. Reach Michele at 805-895-5101 or micheleallyn@yahoo.com.
Rancho San Juan, 3,000 acres of land located in Los Alamos, sold in April for $15,750,000. The broker describes the ranch as being “composed of classic California central coast terra, flora and fauna. There are rolling hills of grasslands and sweeping mesas spotted with Valley and Coast Live Oak trees. The valleys have seasonal creeks and natural riparian corridors. There are oak woodlands. In the southwest section of the parcel are fertile fields of which approximately 250+/- acres are currently being row crop farmed. This land is in the Alisos Canyon AVA (American Viticultural Area), a prime region for Rhone-focused vineyards that produce outstanding Syrah, Grenache, Viognier, and Cabernet Franc wine grapes.”
This is the most expensive sale in Los Alamos since September of 2021, when a US Hwy 101 parcel of land sold for $18,460,000. The sale of Rancho San Juan was brokered by The Brady Group of Sotheby’s International Realty Santa Ynez Valley Brokerage.
