Julia Wainwright's house 107 White sand lane, Santa Barbara

A little just like its owner, Julia Wainwright's house is warm, simple and of the most welcoming. Completely covered with wooden slats, the walls give the impression of a small cosy chalet, situated in front of the ocean, just a step from the first beach house of the couple Eden Capwell and Cruz Castillo.

We enter the house by a small courtyard lined with flowers. The door, with the top partially glazed, allows to penetrate directly into the big living room. At the right of the entrance, some recesses dug in the wall welcome house plants and rustic style decoration objects.

At the left of the entrance, a barrier with the round forms separates from the rest of the room the access to a closet, then to a second glass door leading to the outside.

Right after, we find a wooden table where is put a telephone.

In the center of the room thrones a big sofa of clear color covered with pillows, an armchair in the same tone, and a wooden coffee table.

Behind the sofa, some big veiled windows admit the sunlight. Two big ornamental swans are put just in front of them.

At the bottom of the main room, a fireplace surrounded with shelves and a table to have lunch end to decorate the set.

Quite at the bottom on the right, we reach the other rooms of the house, such as the kitchen, Julia's bedroom and her daughter Samantha's.

Only Julia's bedroom will be shown on the screens, when this latter will begin her couple life with Mason Capwell.

The house will also welcome some other guests for more or less long periods : Rita Grant, a customer of Julia's at the beginning of 1988, then Augusta Lockridge, her sister, in the autumn of the same year.
