Ree Drummondhas a new place to call home!
The celebrity chef, 55, has finally unveiled the stunning new house she and her husband,Ladd Drummond, built on their Pawhuska, Oklahoma, ranch. In a new post on herPioneer Womanblog(and in the latest issue of her magazine), Ree shared photos of the sleek, but homey house — which of course hasa kitchenfit for the Food Network star, along with plenty of cozy spaces for her large family to gather.
In a new interview, Ree told PEOPLE that she and Ladddecided to start freshwith a new build rather than renovate their former home, which had significant foundation issues, plumbing problems and water damage.
“It wasn’t a charming 50-year-old house,” she explained of the original house, which was the same one Ladd grew up in and where they brought up their five kids. “We loved raising our kids in the house, but it had foundation problems and had developed a few problems that were going to be pretty overwhelming to fix.”

Ree’s vision included Spanish ranch elements — such as arched doorways and exposed wood ceiling beams — as well as a charcoal, blue and rust palette, with pops of yellow, throughout the house.

Another gathering spot, the lounge, showcases a navy blue built-in bookcase across one wall which is filled with various family photos and mementoes, as well as a landscape painting that once belonged to Ladd’s parents.
A cozy couch and a pair of leather club chairs provide a perfect spot for reading or relaxing.

The spacious kitchen is designed with a massive, white marble-topped island, as Ree wanted the room to be “very durable and big enough for large family meals," according to the blog post.

The new house also includes a well-appointed office for Ree, detailed with floral wallpaper, a colorful floral rug and double desks that allow her to spread out her papers and books.
“This is the first time I’ve had a home office,” Ree said in the post. “It’s so great not to have to work in the living room.”
