Whether introducing a new sartorial insouciance through
her character's much-loved wardrobe in Annie Hall, writing
memoirs filled with remembrance and ephemera, or
restoring home aer home, Diane Keaton is a one-of-a-kind
sle icon with a celebrated artistic sense, a woman so at home
with herself that "home" is the subject of a her new book, e
House at Pinterest Built (Rizzoli).
Drawing inspiration from an artsy-cool assemblage of pins and palette that she
collected via the wondrous digital universe of Pinterest, Keaton set about designing
her "Dream Home," which occupies canyon land on the peripheries of Brentwood.
And thank heavens. Because Keaton, a compulsive pinner with an unerring eye and
a passion for preservation, architecture and design, outdid even herself with this
outrageously beautiful build—her first foray into ground-up construction that proves
her equally adept at creating a rich, nuanced character in a home as well as onscreen.
Filled with photos of both Keaton's abode and the references that inspired its spaces, e
House at Pinterest Built is, like its author, delightfully unpredictable—a how-to, a sle
resource, a visual treasure, but always a glorious treatment, full of fantasy, image and,
mostly, a good deal of solid design. As study in Keaton's sensitive and informed aesthetic,
her house is a repetitious tapestry of textures, line, material and décor. Underscoring it
all is how Keaton has come to define the meaning of home for herself.
