HEART OF THE HOME

Adding Warmth to Cool Nights

I

n Santa Barbara, warm summer days tend to drag on well into fall. But at the same time, our nights cool down quite a bit. By late October, an evening fire can be a welcomed warming from the steadily shortened afternoon light. And during the holidays— and hopefully during some long rainy days well into the new year— a warm and mesmerizing fireplace can make it feel like a real winter around here.

Giffin & Crane has helped build countless custom fireplaces over the years. It’s tough to pick a favorite. But here are five great ones.

by Keith Hamm

Blending Old & New: The owners of this 1930s estate home initially started

California Cottage: Working with the architect and builders as this remodel evolved,

the owners stayed true to their vision of clean, minimalist living spaces. After reinforcing the building with foundational underpinnings and shear walls, crews vaulted the kitchen ceiling, installed radiant flooring throughout, and added square footage to the master suite, with French doors to the garden. Architecture and interiors by Mosaic Architects & Interiors. Photo by Jim Bartsch.

Montecito Modern Ranch: This comprehensive remodel had the grandchildren

in mind, welcoming frequent visits with a beach house ambiance and an all-new outdoor shower near the property’s seasonal creek. Inside, a rearranged floor plan opened the kitchen to the family room and maintained a semi-private living room. Plus, there’s this cozy bedroom fireplace. Architecture and interiors

While the inside was reconfigured with better flow and modern elements, including finishes and ceiling treatments, the traditional Spanish exterior was preserved.

Renovated Montecito Mediterranean: As part of a design-build team with the principal

builders and architect, the clients could confidently adjust their ideas according to site constraints and budget. Ultimately, the new floor plan transformed the old disjointed layout into a flowing space with sophisticated architectural lines and an appreciation of necessary comforts for a growing family.

floor plan and lots of glass to welcome the ocean view, this all-new home fits the climate and mountain backdrop with its distinct Mediterranean style. A roomy kitchen with a center island faces the family room and formal dining area, reflecting architectural shifts from traditional layouts to the rising popularity of the great room, a signature space in 1990s high-end homebuilding.

Montecito Bank & Trust Grants $1.2 Million to 179 Nonprofits

O

n Monday, November 22, at its annual Community Dividends luncheon, Montecito Bank & Trust (MB&T) honored 179 local nonprofits and awarded a total of $1.2 million to them. Since the program’s inception 19 years ago, MB&T has granted $19+ million to nonprofits in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.

During an hour-long reception, guests enjoyed mingling in the Rotunda at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort before being seated under an open-air tent festively adorned with harvestcolored balloons, leaves, and floral centerpieces.

Board Chair and CEO Janet Garufis welcomed guests and expressed her gratitude to the nonprofits for the important work they do every day. She noted that this day was to celebrate that service and dedication and that it is her favorite day of the year, just as it was for the late Michael Towbes.

Garufis expressed gratitude for Towbes — “our friend, mentor, and supporter.” She explained that when Towbes became the single shareholder and owner of MB&T, the vision of investing a meaningful portion of the bank’s profits back into the community took shape. Towbes believed the bank had a responsibility to make the communities it serves better places to live and work and that supporting the nonprofits that assisted the most vulnerable was an important means to that end.

Towbes’s wife, Anne Towbes, related how Michael thought that the best part about having financial success was being able to give money away. He wanted to ensure the bank would continue to grow, according to Anne, so that it could give more money to the community.

In honor of Michael Towbes, MB&T now grants the Michael Towbes Impact Dividend to one or more nonprofits creating especially impactful change. This year, the Housing Trust Fund of S.B.

County was granted $100,000 for its 3D-Printed Affordable Home Project, and the S.B. Neighborhood Clinics was granted $50,000 for its Bridge Clinic, which provides services to patients with substance-use disorders.

Garufis shared that in the last couple of years, the bank’s grants have focused on organizations that serve the most vulnerable populations and those critical to pandemic recovery efforts. Grants went to nonprofits serving youth and education, social services, medical and health services, and the arts.

President and COO George Leis shared how MB&T had a major impact on the community through Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. While clients of national banks struggled to get through to their banks, MB&T’s team gave a “rock-star performance,” jumping into action, working nights and weekends, and processing more than 3,500 loans worth more than $322 million, including $63 million for 314 nonprofits. “ ‘You are lifesavers,’ ” Leis related, is what he kept hearing from nonprofits and small businesses.

Companies with national banks, Leis explained, realized during the pandemic the difference being with a community bank can make.

Founded in 1975, MB&T operates 11 branch offices between Solvang and Westlake Village. In the year ending September 2021, its assets grew by 21 percent to more than $2 billion. Community Dividends is its largest philanthropic vehicle; its total annual giving amounts to $1.5 million.

Last year, despite the pandemic foreclosing many volunteer opportunities, employees volunteered nearly 4,700 hours serving nonprofits.

The Epstein Partners are by far the BEST at what they do!

They’re incredibly professional and truly care about their clients. They didn’t just make us feel as if we were their top priority, they treated us that way as well. They were in constant communication with us and personally attended every single meeting, inspection and walk through. In a world where people have so much help in their businesses, they were truly hands on. Our home was on the market for a mere 12 hours before we had two bids. The experience was better than what we could have ever imagined and we’re looking forward to working with them to purchase our next home.
