In the MAILBOX: Architectural Digest, Nov 2008
I don’t subscribe to Architectural Digest. My best gal pal, Maggie, has a free subscription which she passes on to me every six weeks or so. But the other day I was perusing the magazine aisle and decided to flip through the Architectural Digest that is currently on the newsstands. Have you seen it?? Holey cow… it is AMAZING!!! I couldn’t wait for Maggie to show up with my free copy, I bought it right then.
The November 2008 issue of Architectural Digest features their annual look at “Hollywood at Home”. There are many images of movie stars from the last 50 years, and their homes that were au courant at the height of their fame. It is an interesting journey to learn bits and peices about the lives of stars such as John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe and Matthew McConaughey ~ and the surroundings that they have chosen to affect their lives. Really no other “thing” is as personal as our homes, the place we go to be alone, be ourselves, and enjoy the people who mean the most to us.

Two of the featured homes are particularly spectacular to those of us driven by all things Rustic * Western * Vintage. Diane Keaton’s Beverly Hill’s Spanish Colonial Revival {images ABOVE & BELOW} literally made my heart beat skip. Keaton collaborated with Stephen Shadley to create the quintessential Spanish interior.
It is simple, full of fine art, and spot on in every sense.
Dennis Quaid’s LA home {image BELOW} is also full of timeless style mixed with rough textures and earthen colors. It is a fine design palette that typifies the world of rustic design with modern appeal, an aesthetic that the designers of the 21st century are perfecting.
