Oprah Winfrey has a beautiful home in Santa Barbara -- but in her eyes, it's too beautiful. She says that is isn't "true to [her]self," and is gutting it so that she can turn it into somewhere more personal.
According to an article in the March issue of her own publication O Magazine, Oprah says that "the gilded mirrors, marble urns, the lavish carpets and sherbet palette - it was all very grand," before explaining that "it wasn't very true to myself." The remodel of the beachside home, which occupies 42 acres, will likely take about three months and cost several million dollars.

Designer Rose Tarlow, who is working with Oprah on the project, describes the talk show queen as "very elegant and sophisticated," but also "warm and playful." She says that "one of the redo’s key goals is a living room that can actually be lived in," and adds that "you will not have to put on heels just to walk into this house." Do you prefer simple homes, or showy ones?

A house like this....
Of course, unlike oprah, I have to clean my home, I don't have an entourage of folks to do it for me.
I keep telling her to let me come over and have a garage sale for her. I can't stand junk!!
And I think they look really ugly.
I wish for a house that looks like this:
A little showy but I love it.
This also helps come moving time.
Worse, she is a LIBERAL! And, of course, like all Blacks, a Racist.
