Ellen Degeneres And Portia De Rossi Beautiful California Ranch

Love this ranch.  Elle Decor features Ellen Degeneres and Portia De Rossi's California ranch.  There is not a square foot that is not addressed and decorated.  It is hard to believe that some areas on the ranch are ever used.  I hope they are, because it looks wonderful.  The barn and horse stables are even decorated.  It is beautiful.  See more here.

Frank Lloyd Wright Millard House

View one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most poetic works, the Millard House.  Built in 1923 and located at 645 Prospect Crescent, Pasadena, California.  The house's design was ridiculed by the critics of the time, however the house is a testament to Wright's vision.  Located in a neighborhood that is aging graciously the Millard House stands timeless.  This would stand true against many contemporary structures as well.  The 4,300 sq. usonian house cost $17,000 to build in 1923 and is currently on the market for $5,000,000.
