We’re continuing with our Sandpipers holiday home tour segment! This home on the Strand in Manhattan Beach is infused with historic Tuscan elements built right in! We seriously couldn’t believe our eyes when we stepping inside… from the Tuscan terra cotta ceiling tiles (which were from a farm house near Lucca, Italy!) to the reclaimed wood beams from an Italian tobacco-drying factory, the foundation of this home is just as magnificent as the design and décor!
This villa definitely puts us in the holiday spirit!! How pretty is the large Christmas tree in the living room? There are many fireplaces in this home, and we love how each of them was decorated with fun holiday goodies! So hard to choose our favorite!
Special thanks to Raya Carlisle for the gorgeous photos and Stephanie Uchima of Preppy Chic Events for making this all possible!

You are right! Inspired by this to take a long vacation. What a wonderful place to spend the holiday season.
I’m glad I discovered your article. I would never have made sense of this topic
on my own. I’ve read several other articles on this topic,
but I was puzzled till I read yours.
