When I first saw Diane Keaton's kitchen, my eyes immediately went somewhere they'd never typically gone before: to her sink. In a break from conventions, the metallic sink area is the most bespoke area of the room – and its planning (and creation) likely took the longest of any feature in Keaton's Spanish Colonial Revival house.
'Diane and I literally carved the sink counter into an exterior wall beneath an outside stair in her Wallace Neff home,' comments Stephen Shadley, the designer responsible for her Californian home. The entirety of Diane Keaton's chef's kitchen pays homage to his genius, but, as he notes, the sink is the most bespoke (and, I'd say, the most sentimental) feature.
