"Diane Keaton\nThe Actress's Passion for Art and Design are on Display in her Beverly Hills Residence\nActress, director and producer Diane Keaton stands at the front entrance of her Beverly Hills residence, an early-1920s structure by architect Ralph Flewelling.\nKeaton and longtime friend and designer Stephen Shadley reemphasized the fa\u00E7ade's Spanish colonial style, giving it a simple\u2014albeit monumental\u2014wood door and metal grillwork at the windows.\nA previous renovation created a double-height entrance hall. Keaton suggested turning the unwieldy space into a library. \"It's still large but more in scale with the rest of the house,\" notes Shadley.\nBooks devoted to Keaton's favorite subjects predominate: \"I love photography, and I love architecture,\" she says. \"Those are the core elements of my library.\"\nKeaton is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable collector of California art and design. A 1931 Maynard Dixon oil, Late Afternoon, hangs above the living room's fireplace; William Ritschel's 1912 Desert Wanderers is at rear. The pots are Hillside, from the teens and '20s; the daybeds are Monterey pieces. Of the latter, Shadley observes, \"Diane has the best collection anywhere.\"\n\"Stephen is a fantastic collaborator,\" says the actress, \"and he has a million ideas. Always. He makes people feel good about what they're doing to their homes.\" Storm Mesas, a recent painting by Ed Mell, is in the dining room.\nShadley came up with the idea of the kitchen's inverted-lampshade fixture on his first project with Keaton. \"It works well, directing light down and also giving off great indirect light,\" he says.

Original tiles pave the loggia. \"I love contrast,\" she says. \"I don't want to be enclosed in darkness, nor do I want to be overwhelmed by too much light.\"\nLanterns once used on the house's exterior now illuminate the master bedroom.\n\nSee more Bedrooms \u00BB\nAn oil, Moonlight Mesa, from 1925, by Harold \"Buck\" Weaver is over the fireplace, which has the same form as the one in the living room. It was inspired by an example Keaton found in a book.\n\"I felt that there was a Modernist aspect to this home,\" says Keaton.\nMonterey furniture served as her inspiration for the table she designed for the office\u2014once an open-air loggia. \"We added doors to the arches and turned it into a year-round room,\" says Shadley. The painting across the courtyard is a Mell oil."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
