Oprah's Hawaii Home
Once an ordinary little gray ranch that Oprah considered tearing down is now transformed into the perfect 21st-century farmhouse.
Things that have been in Oprah's life for years have also been put to
fresh use, creating a collage of her personal history. A Shaker chest that sat
in her Indiana kitchen for 10 years now stands in the front hall; a table from a
former pool house fits right into the new dining room. Ellie added the chairs,
covering them in a striped cotton that contrasts playfully with the checkerboard
design of the wool rug from Beauvais Carpets.
"I grew up in a rural folk environment, and I'm still rooted in things that have brought me comfort over the years," Oprah says.
