</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Actress Diane Keaton's home is of a Spanish Colonial Revival Style..This expression of style is related to both history and environment. Some find this style as "Cold" or "Un-inviting." I find it Intriguing and full of History...Have you ever read the book Ramona written by Helen Hunt Jackson? Yah...kinda like that! Check out the artful arrangement of her dish pottery collection...Amazing!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I just love the color yellow. Look at how this front door screams "Welcome!"...In 2009 it really jumped on to the scene in a powerful way...I mean, it was everywhere...In fashion trends & home accessories (I feel are the most important ones, anyway!) Well guess what...This color is not dead...This season, it's back for yet another round. I can't wait to rock some more yellow and gray outfits...Oh oh oh...yellow and hot pink, Yellow with black and white...hummm, yellow and turquoise...I'm even feelin' yellow and chocolate brown...yeah babyee!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Check out this Interiors... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
