See inside the beautiful homes of Hollywood icons like Jennifer Aniston, Robert Altman, and Ryan Murphy—with stunning full-color photographs and a foreword by Diane Keaton. Designer extraordinaire Stephen Shadley began his working life as a scenic artist at 20th Century Fox. Throughout a celebrated career (landing a coveted spot on the AD100), his work has been marked continually by the glamour of Hollywood as well as by a kind of visual storytelling that is richly informed by the world of the movie screen and by the artifice and allure of film’s great cinematographers. Inside, you’ll find numerous beautifully designed homes of Hollywood royalty, including: • Diane Keaton’s classic Beverly Hills abode • Robert Altman’s apartment in the legendary Pythian building on New York’s Upper West Side • Jennifer Aniston’s luxurious 1970s home in Beverly Hills • Three greenrooms Shadley designed for the Oscars and Emmy Awards • Plus much more in Southern California, New York, and beyond! Notable for their expression of an exquisite sense of style, Shadley’s designed homes are all expressions of a masterful sense of scale and an appreciation for understated beauty and refined materials that are ultimately warm, inviting, and serene.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA touching, humorous account of the author’s cultural reckoning with his Korean heritage and hidden family secrets. A surprising diagnosis of PTSD led Dave Gibbons to look to his past for clues to explain the unexpected result. Born to an American soldier and a Korean mother in the wake of the Korean War, Dave has spent his life struggling to blend his Korean roots and his very American upbringing. The family joins a conservative church that embraces a strict, rule-based faith, and they try to navigate life as one of the few mixed-raced families in their community. But when tragedy strikes, tearing the family apart, Dave is forced to face long- buried secrets that he can no longer ignore. As he explores his family’s difficult past, he confronts his own pain and the persistent feelings of not quite fitting in either in America or his mother’s home country. And when a DNA test ultimately reveals a truth that shatters everything he understood about his history, he begins the journey to reconcile his American upbringing with his deep Korean roots, and he is forced to confront the traumas he unknowingly carried. The Shape of My Eyes beautifully weaves historic reference points of the oppression and discrimination against Asian Americans with Dave’s own personal story. Dave’s wrestling with belonging in his family, in America, and in the church creates a raw, thought-provoking memoir about race, religion and finding home.
