Litchfield Builders

Bringing a Storybook Cottage Back to Life

Tucked away on Periwinkle, a street lined with historic Moody Sisters cottages, this charming home has been lovingly restored to its original magic. With their signature whimsical architecture, curved lines, and cozy details, Moody homes are a beloved part of Montecito’s history.

At Litchfield Builders, we took great care to preserve the character of this classic cottage while making thoughtful upgrades for modern living. Every detail—from the exposed beams to the handcrafted woodwork—was restored with respect for its past, ensuring this home continues to tell its story for generations to come.

Giving New Life to a Bunya-Bunya Tree

When a towering bunya-bunya tree near the Litchfield family home began leaning dangerously close to the house, safety had to come first. But instead of letting this majestic tree go to waste, the Litchfield Builders team had it milled into slabs, ensuring its legacy would live on in meaningful ways.
Now, this incredible wood is being used to craft one-of-a-kind custom furniture, stunning countertops, and mantels—each piece adding timeless character and a connection to nature. This massive tree will continue to enhance homes and projects for years to come.

Swipe through to see the tree before it was taken down and how its beautiful grain has been transformed into functional works of art. Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we share even more creations from this extraordinary tree!
