13. Cooking Up A Storm
The state-of-the-art kitchen in Oprah’s mansion is unbelievably well-stocked, logically arranged, and spacious. While having a fireplace in your kitchen is admittedly a pretty neat idea, Oprah opted to remove it, because she wanted the kitchen to have more space to include her guests. Needless to say, the other rooms in her behemoth house are hardly lacking space.
14. A Meal With Oprah
With all the candelabras hanging from the ceiling and balanced on the statuettes atop the table, the tasteful dining room might give you flashbacks from Beauty and the Beast. The carefully polished wooden table looks like a glassy ocean reflecting the sky. Just as important as the interior is the outside of the home. There’s so much garden space and Oprah has given it her personal touch.
15. Care For A Cuppa
Opening immediately out to the vast garden grounds, this tea room was at first intended to be a place for the gardeners to cut and arrange flowers. Now it’s used as a space to relax with a cup of tea. In the tea house, you cannot find any digital device as it is meant as a place to unburden yourself from electronic accessories. Just sit quietly, be present, and enjoy the garden.
16. Wisteria Dreams
Outside the tearoom is the entryway into the vast garden’s sprawling grounds. Steps stretch down from a framework dripping with purple wisteria to a small fountain. Surrounded by roses, lilies, daffodils, and more, the entrance reminds Oprah of the moment in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy realizes that she never had to look any further than her backyard.
