From whitewashed stucco walls and cloistered patios to tile roofs and sumptuous gardens, each house is a rare architectural masterpiece, with splendid interior design finishes like authentic Monterey furniture, California tile, and Navajo rugs. Among the magnificent seaside estates, canyon villas, and courtyard bungalows is Diane Keaton’s former home in Beverly Hills, which she thoughtfully restored with noted interior designer Stephen Shadley, and for which she has been recognized as a committed preservationist.
Keaton brings her cinematic eye to each building—many of which have never been photographed or seen—while authoritative text by D. J. Waldie lucidly explicates the architecture. Now available in a more compact and affordable format, this California coffee table book is an intimate tour of a historic and distinct lifestyle, perfect for anyone interested in interior decorating and home design.
