Yes I know you have all seen the lovely images of Ellen Degeneres' gorgeous ranch in Elle Decor already, but when I saw the interior it reminded me of some of my other favourites and I wanted to see them all together.  Vaulted ceilings, lots of white painted wood, and black or worn wood details all seem to do it for me.  

The rooms above and below are from Ellen's ranch via Elle Decor.  I think the triangular cowhide rug in ivory from Pure Rugs would be a perfect match.  I know I want it!

I wonder what the circle is on the far wall, something found and perfect. Another vaulted white wood ceiling, but this time with concrete floors.  This is a favourite room from a favourite blog, Emma's Design Blog.  I keep my eyes peeled for trees being taken down because one day I will make a tree stump stool on casters like this one.  It just needs this chevron cowhide in ivory to be soft under foot, from Pure Rugs again.

Above is a favourite home, I could move in tomorrow.  Lots of white with black details. This is one of my most favourite favourite kitchens, and that hat rack...perfection.  They are from a villa in St Barths and it's worth popping in here to see it all.

Who wouldn't love being in these open pared back spaces.  Just enough to be comfortable, worn and comfy and ready for living in.  

This is what the spaces in the moody masculine post would look like with flowers.

The Voice of Reason can't deny that they make the spaces sing.

Moody masculine monochrome energy, this post is for the Voice of Reason who has always dreamed of the industrial inner city loft.  I do love this look, the textures, the contrast, nothing that a lovely bunch of flowers wouldn't be able to soften to my taste.

 I want a jelde lamp like this one above (via Artilleret).  One of those things I noticed recently and now can't stop thinking about.

There is that lamp again. (via Gifts of Life)

And to go with the loft the Voice of Reason would have this country bolt hole.  Imagine the parties you could have here! (photo by Richard Powers)

Loving the soft gray fireplace wall, and the beads hanging off the horns.  I want something similar for my black bathroom wall.  I did want a skull but perhaps horns are less confronting.

The tree trunk coffee table on casters is genius!  I will be keeping my eyes peeled for a tree that has been blown over or is being taken down.   It will be a great excuse for The Voice of Reason to get out his chainsaw.
