Decorated with soft, celadon-green walls, sage-colored chairs, fresh flowers and elegantly lit paintings, Oprah's library is the kind of place where a beloved dog is allowed to hop up onto the furniture.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5a5758; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5a5758; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Shadowed by the Santa Ynez Mountains, this is the place Oprah comes to read, meditate and enjoy a cup of tea. She could listen to music at the touch of a button, but doesn't: "I don't want to affect the mood here." She could transact business here, but doesn't: "No meetings, ever." (oprah.com)</span><br />

"I don't think of flowers as something material," she says. "Flowers come, and then they go back to where they came from. You can't hold them for long." And yet, the 600 rosebushes she has planted come in enough varieties to impress any aficionado.

The fantastic 4,500-square-foot Santa Barbara guesthouse that Andre Walker and David Simmons created for Oprah. Both refined and rustic, sumptuous and kick-your-shoes-off cozy, there is absolutely no possibility that any guest she invites to stay is ever going to leave.

"In that spirit, Oprah's new house is filled with well-crafted objects and has warmth and a very positive energy."
