Book Review: The House That Pinterest Built by Diane Keaton

The House That Pinterest Built
by Diane Keaton (747 Kea)

I don’t “do” Pinterest… That being said, this book caught my eye because of the title and, doubly, because of the author. Actress/Director/Author Diane Keaton’s entry into the world of house-building is detailed in this coffee-table tome. Although I don’t share her particular home aesthetic/style for the most part, I still found this to be intriguing. Keaton discovered Pinterest after already having ‘flipped’ a few houses, and long after she had developed strong ideas of what her dream home would be like. The amount of material she mined on Pinterest then became her repository for fleshing out her from-the-ground-up domicile. A major part of the book is the many images from which she gleaned her ideas. Then the last one-third or so is shots of the interior and exterior elements that make up her unique, and uniquely Californian, creation.
