and Jeffrey Conrad's house
233 Vista Del Mar, Santa Barbara |

It is a few months before their wedding that Kelly Capwell and Jeffrey Conrad move into this beautiful grand house that Kelly has spotted in a quiet district of the town.
As from the entry, fitted carpet and light colors insist on the cozy side of the house.
On the left side of the hall stand the stairs overlooking the first floor where is the bedroom, very rarely seen on screen.
After the stairs, there is a cupboard where Kelly and Jeffrey put their coats. Sophia Capwell and Sandra Mills will hide there at the beginning of 1989, tracked down by Kirk Cranston.
From the vestibule, we enter the living room.
The rustic-style furniture and the floral sofa emphasize Jeffrey's English origins. It is besides not uncommon to see vases filled with colorful flowers decorating the coffee table. On either side of the room, a desk and some armchairs fill the room, while shelves inlaid in the walls accommodate books and decorative objects.
On the left wall, two windows surround a large fireplace. This latter will be rarely seen used, the room being more the place of quarrels and friction between the couple than quiet moments and demonstrations of love.
At the end of the room, a door on the left overlooks the kitchen. The opposite wall has a large French window overlooking the front entrance of the house.
The house will not be seen a lot after Kelly and Jeffrey's divorce and the departure of the city of this latter. But she it take back some importance in 1991, when Sophia Armonti Capwell will settle there after her separation with C.C..
In the year 1992, Ken Mathis, Sophia's new husband, makes her the surprise to redecorate all the house. The biggest changes concern the woodwork, which find their raw character, giving more of cachet to the ground floor.
