The House that Pinterest Built

The House that Pinterest Built

At once a style guide, an inspirational tome, and a how-to volume on creating oneâ€™s home, this book will serve as a go-to reference for all those seeking to spur their own creativity as they embark on the creation of home. When Diane Keaton decided that she wanted to build her own home from the ground up, she took the advice of her dear friend, film director Nancy Meyers, and took to the boards of Pinterest to find inspiration. There she discovered the practical and the fantastical, elements and styles long adored and ones that she never knew she was drawn to. Keatonâ€™s dream house was officially under way and this book that resulted is aÂ compelling account of her that house, from idea to realization in brick, stone, and wood. Â Â

The House that Pinterest Built defines what home and house mean to the celebrated movie star, who is known for her love affair with houses and design. Filled with ideas that reveal a personal yet engaging aesthetic, this volume includes compelling photos from Keatonâ€™s past homes and those she admires, as well as a multitude of details from every corner of those spaces and objects that excite and inspire the house designer and dreamerâ€”dramatic staircases and magical light fixtures, film stills and book covers, pottery and artâ€”drawn from the visual treasure trove known as Pinterest and Keatonâ€™s private collection, as she creates and designs her newest house.
Rich imagery is accompanied by Keatonâ€™s ideas for selecting furniture, kitchen layout, and bedroom design; she talks about the importance of lighting in the bathroom and why the living room needs to be reimagined. Beyond the interior, she explores curb appeal and environmental sensitivity, always with an eye to making home the way it should beâ€”a place of tranquility, a place where one is restored and where one returns to dream again and again. The book culminates in the dream realized, the house she has imagined, designed, and made, now shared with the world for the first time in all-new photography.

â€œIf you want to explore. If you love to see. If youâ€™re looking to look; this book is an example of a home made from the gifts of other peopleâ€™s addictive yearnings for the perfect home, with the perfect landscape and the perfect interior. It illustrates my choices of your choices. Who knows, you might find one of your pins here. You might smile. You might shake your head and say, â€˜This isnâ€™t what I had in mind.â€™ You might think: â€˜Hey thatâ€™s my kitchen. She copied my kitchen.â€™ But the truth is, as much as I tried, I could never entirely recreate the light filled photograph of a kitchen that led the way to the journey that brought me here. No one can.â€ â€“ Diane Keaton
