Ree Drummond, the beloved Pioneer Woman, has officially moved into a brand-new home! The celebrity chef, age 55, and her husband, Ladd Drummond, have built a stunning new house on their Oklahoma ranch in Pawhuska. Fans can get a peek inside this beautiful space thanks to a recent post on Ree’s popular Pioneer Woman blog and the latest issue of her magazine. The new house is described as sleek yet homey, featuring a dream kitchen any Food Network star would adore, and plenty of comfortable areas for her large family to enjoy.
After years in their previous home, where they raised their five children, Ree and Ladd decided on a fresh start. Instead of renovating their old house, which had developed significant foundation, plumbing, and water damage issues, they opted to build anew. As Ree explained in a recent interview, the original house, while full of family memories, simply wasn’t a good candidate for renovation.

Working with Tulsa-based designer Sherri Duvall and her architect husband, John Duvall, Ree brought her vision to life in 2021. She envisioned a home with Spanish ranch influences, incorporating elements like arched doorways and exposed wooden ceiling beams. The color palette revolves around charcoal, blue, and rust tones, brightened by cheerful pops of yellow throughout the interiors.
The heart of any home, especially for The Pioneer Woman, is the kitchen. Ree’s new kitchen is truly a chef’s dream, anchored by a massive white marble-topped island. She specifically designed the space to be “very durable and big enough for large family meals,” making it perfect for everything from casual weeknight dinners to elaborate holiday feasts and, of course, delightful weekend brunches. A practical pot rack hangs above the stove, a first for Ree. She admitted she thought it might be more decorative, but has found having her skillets readily accessible actually inspires her to cook even more.

The light-filled living room seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living with doors leading to the ranch landscape. Inside, a comfortable mix of gray and orange armchairs and couches surrounds a large patterned ottoman, creating a welcoming atmosphere for family and guests. A second seating area offers a slightly more formal feel, featuring four brown leather chairs and a classic coffee table. These inviting spaces are ideal for relaxing after a hearty brunch or enjoying a quiet evening.
Another cozy gathering spot is the lounge, featuring a striking navy blue built-in bookcase. This bookshelf is thoughtfully curated with family photos and cherished mementos, alongside a landscape painting that once belonged to Ladd’s parents, adding a personal touch and history to the new home. A comfortable couch and leather club chairs provide a perfect nook for reading, conversation, or simply unwinding after a busy day of ranch life – or perhaps, digesting a delicious brunch.

Beyond the kitchen, a well-organized pantry provides ample storage for all of Ree’s cooking essentials, complete with cabinets, shelves, and a convenient prep sink. Just off the kitchen is a charming breakfast nook, featuring a cushioned corner banquette surrounded by large windows. This nook offers stunning views of the ranch and is envisioned as the perfect spot for casual family meals and sunny morning brunches. “Ladd and I are still in the getting-to-know-you phase with the banquette, but the kids have been breaking it in!” Ree joked on her blog, highlighting the family-friendly nature of the space.

For her work life, Ree finally has a dedicated home office. This space is decorated with floral wallpaper, a vibrant floral rug, and double desks, providing ample room to spread out papers and books. “This is the first time I’ve had a home office,” Ree shared, expressing her relief at no longer needing to work in the living room.

The primary bedroom is designed around a stunning four-poster bed with carved spindles that Ree fell in love with. A small seating area by the picture windows and French doors opening onto a balcony complete this tranquil retreat. Ree also has a dream walk-in closet, custom-designed with shelves, racks, drawers, and a special cubby for her boots.

The Drummond family recently celebrated Easter in their new home, putting the fantastic kitchen to good use.

This new house is clearly designed for family gatherings, from holiday meals to casual brunches, providing a beautiful and functional backdrop for the Drummonds’ life on the ranch. With its blend of Spanish ranch style, cozy interiors, and a chef-worthy kitchen, Ree Drummond’s new home is a true reflection of her warm and inviting personality – the perfect place to enjoy life and create lasting memories, one delicious brunch at a time.
