Antiques on the Ranch

Given it was so damn hot over the weekend that it was impossible to spend the entire day beachside I ventured to the local library and spent some time catching up on back issues of design and shelter magazines. One of them was the Elle Decor featuring Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's mountain retreat above Santa Monica. How did I miss this stunning property until now? A twenty-six acre ranch, the property features eight cabins, and several barns which now feature as the principal living areas - for both humans and equines. Filled to the brim with antiques, a penchant of Ellen's, I'm loving the white, black and brown palette used throughout.
