Worn and weathered and well loved patina. Gilded details and lots of simply pretty. All mingling with a huge amount of charm and warmth. On Saturday, I had the pleasure of visiting Brooke & Steve Giannetti’s absolutely stunning Patina Farm in Ojai. A house is simply a house until someone sees it as a home…
