THE CAVENDER DIARY

I’ve had a fascination with Diane Keaton’s style for years.

Not only is the Oscar winner a Hollywood icon, she has also been praised for her work as a California architectural preservationist.

Here is a sampling of her 1927 Ralph Flewelling home she recently put on the market. I dug around on the internets and found quite a few pictures.

We actually do these same lights around our roof-line every December.

Check out the entrance…..it leads right into my favorite room, the ceramic tiled library.

“The Eye Sees What the Mind Knows” circles the vaulted ceiling. Beautiful

Here’s the view into the dining room. You better belive that I will be making a RED 3 just like that one very soon.

The kitchen just blows me away. How Cool are those whip-stitched lights?

I’m a collector of California pottery too. Never thought of grouping it by color though.

The house has 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. Only 2 of which I could find a pictures of. Here’s the Master bedroom.

and another bedroom, with bright California pottery.

The Living room ceiling is Heavenly as well…

Vintage metal motel chairs encircle a pair of wooden folding tables on the patio.

…and the office with the doors to the central courtyard and fountain. Pretty sure that I need to have that clock.

It’s simply amazing, I know.

Great news. This spectacular home was recently purchased by Glee Co-Creator Ryan Murphy who re-styled it to match his own masculine style. (As if there was anything feminine about it in the first place)

He was even inspired by the interiors for the sets of his new show “The New Normal”. Jamie can verify that I really do pause the show to look at the sets.

Perhaps a post with a few recent pictures will be coming soon….

Stay Tuned….
