With the Mega-Millions jackpot at $200,000,000, and with a few minutes to daydream I have found the perfect home to buy when we win. Often times when I go on these property websites I'll see these mega-homes that are very "glam" on the outside but then you go inside and the owners, thinking that they have great taste and don't need a decorator, fill the place with cheap or knock-off furniture that is neither the right style or scale for the "environment". I would change nothing about this home. It is a Mediterranean masterpiece that is on Riven Rock Road in Montecito, California. The price tag? A mere $19,500,000. Wish us luck!!

| The front facade. I love the neatly clipped grass between the paving stones. |
 |
| This beautiful double staircase in the entryway is lit by an antique Murano glass chandelier hanging from a frescoed dome. |
 |
| The dining room is so chic in muted grays with crystal chandelier and sconces. I love the cameo-backed French fauteuils covered in velvet. |
 |
| What a beautiful spot to play the piano in the morning. |
 |
| The "salon" with two fireplaces is absolutely stunning. Muted shades of gray and fawn are punctuated with splashes of color from flowers and plants. |
 |
| The kitchen has great built in cabinetry for your china and crystal. |
 |
| This is the solarium. Casual but "smart". I love the Empire-style lighting. |
 |
| The oak paneling in the library is just lovely. |
 |
| The master bedroom |
 |
| Isn't this pool pavilion patio beautiful? |
 |
| Several views of the house from the garden and aerial views as well. |
 |
| I love this little "folly" in the garden. |
