The Homes of Woody Allen and Diane Keaton Architectural Digest November 2008

The Homes of Woody Allen and Diane Keaton
Architectural Digest
November 2008

We thoroughly enjoyed the look into Diane Keaton's Beverly Hills home in the current issue of Architectural Digest. Her recent renovation of the 1920's Spanish colonial revival, with designer Stephen Shadley, is quirky and unabashed. It's featured alongside Woody Allen's U.E.S. home, which is more traditional (with unexpected touches). That's Keaton's vintage pottery collection pictured up top (organized by color!). See Allen's home after the jump...

Find much more on Keaton's home here and Allen's home here, or see both on the stands in Architectural Digest. Take a look, then tell us what you think: are you surprised at their styles, disappointed, inspired?

lovely, but i always wonder why celebrities need such huuuge homes. it never looks like people would actually use that house because it's just so "perfect".

Who knew Woody had such waspy taste.
Yet Diane's place suits her to a T.

Actually this is not at all what I would expect from Diane Keaton- She has lived in some pretty sugnificant architural homes-

When I lived in LA many years back she lived in this STUNNING home:
John Sowden House Est. 1926 National Register- by Lloyd Wright

I took a tour of this home its amazing.

And then later on she had this or maybe still does- another Lloyd Wright

so maybe this place posted is a quilty pleasure.

Terka I agree with you. I realize that when these places are photographed they put all the 'stuff' away, but I always wonder if anyone actually lives there, the houses never look conducive to living, just looking at.

woody allen, i am deeply saddened by your design choices. the wallpaper and fabric on the chairs/couches screams GRANDMA, and i was so much happier picturing you ageless :(

however, diane keaton is still such a babe, and i love her library.

woody allen's decor is as creepy as his marrying his step daughter.

Woody Allen's house is quite cozy and elderly in feel, reminds me of some Eastern European apartments I used to frequent... Not inspiring, but I see nothing creepy about this.

Diane's house looks too ... staged to me.
