From an oceanfront bluff on the Mesa to the meandering gardens of a historic Moody Sisters cottage in Montecito, this year’s Make Myself at Home column took us inside some truly memorable spaces. We’re grateful to the homeowners who opened their doors, the professionals who shared their expertise, and our readers who joined us on each tour. As we turn the page on the year, here’s a look back. Happy new year from our homes to yours.
