I have enjoyed reading this book as much as looking at all the gorgeous photographs! Barbra Streisand wrote this book about the home (mansion) she built. She also took most of the pictures for the book. Not only can she sing, act, and direct, she is a wonderful photographer and writer. She took most of the pictures in the book. Now she can add design and builder to her talents. I highly recommend this book! It's well worth what it costs!
Since I am going to link to Susan's Between Naps on the Porch Tablescape Thursday, I will start with Barbra's dining room
How's that for a tablescape!!
Isn't it all absolutely gorgeous!!
I love this book!
What a view!
She had been looking at the property for years and trying to buy one of the three houses on the cul de sac overlooking the Pacific ocean.
She loves barns and silos and this is the design she went for one of her buildings. Don't let that farmhouse look fool you!
It is so very elegant!
The other side of the house!
The Mill House is the garage.
The water wheel works!
The water wheel works!
She tells a very interesting story about the water wheel!

I love this room!
Her outfit matches the room! Doesn't she look beautiful!
The Cottage
This is where she records!
A few more pictures:
The basement is like a street in a shopping village!
Clothes she wore in many of her movies:
Her doll collection displayed here in "Bee's Doll Shop!"
Barbra Streisand's house is indeed a dream home, and she shares many details of it with us in this wonderful book! I hope she does a second book!! This one has many enjoyable hours, very entertaining! She certainly "has it all!" Just think, all this and that handsome adoring husband (James Brolin) too!
Like I said it is well worth the cost of the book! Or put it on your Wish List like I did! My daughter bought it for me! Thanks, Ashleigh!
